Aberdeen V Dundee (1 - 0)


Recommended Posts


Took a pal to the game. It was his first time watching the dandies and I think he was moderately impressed. Given his two previous footy experiences have been watching the Huns and at st mirren then it was a low bar to clear.

Anyway, I thought we won comfortably and should have won by 2 or 3.

Goodwillie does what he always does. Shuffles about, misses a decent chance or two and does a nice flick for a teammate. Seemed moderately more interested than normal though.

Shinnie excellent and storie looks the part.

Given brown was crowded an hemmed in at corners (they had obviously done their homework) i thought he was fine. Celtic game with thumb doing his usual will be a bigger test

Nah. It's the principal of the thing.

Just saying that things being 3 times the price they need to be is a rip off.

 

You obviously think different.

 

Na was joking, I agree with you that it's shite. I was charged something ridiculous for a cheese burger which came as if some 32 stone heifer had been sitting on it for over an hour and a hot dog and starbursts for the nephew. You must have realised before Saturday the catering side is a rip off?

I find it hilarious how a large percentage of the catering staff can't speak English and the ones that do have a basic grasp are completely unable to count, for instance if your scran comes to £18.50 and you part with a £20 note they are unable to work out what change they need to give you.

Completely agree. That's a lot of pies though Ebbe, you arite?

To the lad above who can't wait to see McGinn and Hayes give their all for 70 minutes. You and me both bud.

By the way Niall Jonnie giving 130% (even playing badly, never hiding) that doesn't make up the difference for your 70%.

That said, I can't decide who's going to have the out of the blue blinder a week on wed. GW or McGinn. GW or McGinn. Who's it to be?

Considine?...........Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah......oh my sides

Chris Sutton was unusually biased to the Dons on commentary. Thought he was going to have a squarey with Craigan after the game over the Logan incident.

 

Comfortable enough win, thought it was a decent game of football. We had enough chances to win about 4 games like.

 

Taylor is a very good defender but think he'd benefit from having an Anderson style organiser beside him. If he's your main defender then you don't want him having his headless chicken moments, especially when it's Considine covering.

 

Thought Storie had a quietly effectual game. McLean was class.

Are BT providing a service? Do BT charge for the service? Does that then mean that someone has to pay for it?

 

Fuck off you noncetrosity!!

 

You should have been clearer. If you had said that you were sick of your mum and dad paying for a service that wasn't fit for your usage, I wouldn't have commented.

Goodwillie: if the jury's still oot at this stage, he shouldn't be here. Maybe he doesn't get enough chances, but when he is playing, he isn't producing. At this stage I'd rather someone else played, instead of hoping he performs.

 

Formation: a lot of you are thinking in very linear fashion. Formations as such are misleading, tactics are what teams rely on during a game. If our strikers were sitting in wide positions during parts of the game, I'm guessing this was to confuse the Dundee defence, draw players out, stop their FBs moving forward. When Rooney scores, he's coming in from our left, pulling the right back with him and sneaking between him and the centre backs. McGinn is nearest to Hayes, Goodwillie central. Dundee concede a lot due to attacks on their left back, because he isn't very good.

 

Our "formation" is fixed at the back, then two midfielders whose job it is to support them and supply the ball forwards to four attackers who swap positions at will. For some reason (probably with the likes of the FIFA video games permeating popular culture) armchair tacticians and journalists have become obsessed with quantifying exactly where each player should be. I lost count of how many times McGinn was central while Hayes went down either wing.

There is surely no reason why Rooney should be tracking back on the left and when we get it we pump it up to Hayes?

OR, Ash Taylors been telt (which I kind of agree with) to stop lumping it forward towards the two standard issue donkey SPL centre halves climbing all over our forwards uninhibited and instead to put it wide where Adam has been telt to go (despite it being miles away from the goals that he's so good at finding), to try and get a knock on (which Ebbe says hes shite at anyway) for our wingers, one of whom really doesn't give a fuck whether there's a knock on opportunity or not?
