J4MRU Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 How did Megginson play? I thought he did well. Not as effective as Fraser but was a pain in the ass for their defence. Link to comment
a don in oz Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Just watched the highlights and if they are AT ALL representative of the game that would have - apart from the hypothermia - been a great game to be at. We looked to be playing the ball around nicely at times (maybe only the 5 minutes worth of highlight times?) and Magennis and McGinn were all over it with their shots at goal and so many on target. Well done the team for putting together a performance like that. 2 Link to comment

Well done the team for putting together a performance like that. I've just watched them too. Excellent viewing. McGinn just looks like a cut above. His technique is fantastic and always seems to work the goalkeeper - no matter the angle or distance. I'm not sure what happened at Celtic, but I'm amazed he didn't make it at Parkhead. He is our best player by a considerable distance, dynamic and intelligent - he has made an enormous difference to the team. Again from the highlights Magennis looked very dangerous and Megginson was involved in many of our best moves. Best player on the park was the St. Johnstone goalie - he's had the game of his life yesterday! That could have been 6 or 7 nil. Best moment of the highlight reel: Masson's slide rule pass to McGinn. Sublime! Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 McGinn 3 for 3 on target. Come on goal machine Nial MachineGinnEdit: there's another on target for him. It's got to come Nial, Nial,Nial. Nial MachineGinn Credit to Broon for that one. Honestly great performance from a skeletal side. More of that please & especially when we're back to full strength Again Broon 1 Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Well, if that's the best you can manage in terms of erudite debate, then I won't even bother to summarise any of your qualities of inadequacy. But Seasons Greetings and all the best to you anyway. Maybe my words were OTT. Sorry. But I think when you have about 10 players injured you need to be patient and expect us to be inconsistent. We are hardly playing "an injury card" as an excuse. No team in the SPL could handle having so many players out. Not even the Irish. 2 Link to comment

Well done the team for putting together a performance like that. I missed this game (first home game of the season I've not been to) but there has only been 2 games I've been to this season where we didnt play decent football for large parts of the game. The football on show this season has been some of the best I've seen at Pittodrie for a good few years. Still a little inconsistency but as someone has already pointed out we've been hammered by injuries and its hard to get consistency when we're missing half the starting 11 every game. Link to comment
MURRA Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 got to get mcginns contract extended now. cant see you wouldn't extend it, he clearly a class player something that aberdeens been missing for a while. Link to comment
Redstar Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 -10 for the below post...poor show...can't help think there is a degree of racism attached to some of the abuse Fatty Broon takes, any cu*t who is slating him on his ability, compared to Langfield, clearly has no understanding of basic goalkeeping. Great result...special mention for Fatty Broon...put his contempt for Broon (old) behind him and did what was required...take note Langfield that's how a professional goes about their business...well played Fatty you earned yer corn today chief 1 17 Link to comment

Quanny Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I don't recall any dodgy moments from Brown personally. A couple of balls flashed across the face of goal and a save down to his right from a weak effort from hasslebaink, other than that I didn't think the defence was overly troubledA couple of catches that just bounced off him, it was nothing major just down to lack of games.

Redstar Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 ...All I did was praise a much maligned player who has been shabbily treated by AFC...as before can someone explain the reason, other than the previously stated suspicion ,that Fatty is now seen as some sort of pariah leaching of AFC 15 Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 highlights Commentator will be shouting McGinn in his sleep.He could have had a lot of goals from that & I think he only missed the target ONCE from about 8 or 9 shots Special mention for Anderson's great defending to stop Fallon scoring a sitter just glad I'm able to laugh about it thanks to MachineGinn 1 Link to comment

ollie1903 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It wasn't a dig just an observation.I didn't think you were, going by the content of your post. It's just that some usual suspects will use that to jump on the anti Brown bandwagon and use it against him.Even though three quarters would not have saw his performance.And I honestly don't recall anything bouncing off of him either, but may have been away for a coffee.

muttonhumper Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Have to add, Masson looked a fair bit more composed this time round. Chuffed at that.His pass for the second goal was absolutely spot on. Link to comment

Chuffed at that.His pass for the second goal was absolutely spot on. A few folk on here have already written him off after a few late appearances (admittedly he didn't look great in a couple).Give the boy a chance, hard to settle in when there are a good few midfielders injured.

Hadn't written him off though...surely that would be retarded given his minimal game time thus far.Don't recall anyone else doing it either. May have missed that like. Link to comment
