A wee bit off topic but...

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes is delighted to report that there has been no interest from elsewhere in his star trio of Niall McGinn, Adam Rooney and Jonny Hayes.

 

Why are other cubs not interested in our best players ? Not that I am complaining like.

 

Pity no-one tried to take McGinn off our hands.. Fee, just enough to cover Greg Stewart's bill would have been ideal.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

How was Maclean tonight?

[maryhilldon]

Dont know why but i think we'll pump them. Surely to fuck we're due a bit of luck, and the're pretty shite. If Saints can put 3 past them, we can get 4. COYR

How can we get 4 if St's got 3? That's like saying if Hearts can get 2 against St's they can get 16 against us

Hearts get penalties & we don't

Aye, but we'd have a riot on our hands.

Hearts look a bit unsettled at the moment so hopefully we start finding our range in front of goal as we’re seeing plenty possession but wasting a hatful of chances. Burns looked lively last night but probably epitomises our form at the moment in putting in plenty effort but not getting the end product. It’s still early day’s though so no real point over-analysing until we’re a good few games into the season

[SkyeDon]

O'Connor to start again, looked solid again last night but Taylor available again so will be interesting to see what he does.

 

I'd expect him to go for a "physical" look again given we've been bullied by Hearts but at the same time bring some pace and craft to the first league game back at Pittodrie.

I love McInnes, but definitely has issues with dropping the favourites. Even when they are dropped, or rested they are usually on by the hour mark.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Last nights attendees might say no but from my armchair I wouldn't be surprised by Taylor back and O'Connor in front between Jack and Shinnie in place of Maclean.

Its clear that we've got a talent in O'Connor and agreed one way or another, he'll start. Like St.j, McInnes tends to show Hearts too much respect so your probably not far off the mark. However, I'd prefer to see us go out and attack their vulnerabilities.

[fine-n-dandy]

St's are not just a bogey team for us but it also seems they are for Hearts, so not going to use our St's results or how we played against them as any form of barometer.

 

Hearts gave Celtic a decent game but usually do tbf as they raise their game well for them just as they normally do for us.

 

Going to be a s tough a game as it always is against them. Neilson very much splitting the fans, recent results not being good & hurting from cup exits.

They see us very much as a must win game all the time but even more so now. Hopefully Neilson is losing the dressing room.

 

Their keeper is nae as great as they first thought. The 'he's just young' excuses beginning to get a bit old.

 

game will be close IMO. Draw or one goal swing either way but I think we will be the ones to edge it.

Hopefully a good performance from the ref

[Ernie McCracken]

Reynolds will be sacrificed if Taylor is back in - but think Del will stick with them. Would start with Storey though - need a big strong cunt like him on the wing.

Reynolds won't be sacrificed for Taylor. If Taylor returns then O'conner will be the one to go as mcinnes and doc are very big on playing a left footer and a right footer in central defence.

 

It's why they signed morris and O'conner. Morris for the left and O'conner for the right.

[Lencarl]

Jamie Walker: Hearts winger given two-match ban for diving and will miss the match. Every little helps.

is Morris left footed? thought there was chat when he signed about him covering for Taylor and Logan?

[Ernie McCracken]

Just checked.

 

You're right morris does play on the right side. Fuck knows why he was signed then as doc and mcinnes are very vocal about the left and right sided centre backs.

 

Perhaps they were looking at O'conner for the centre of midfield, but Taylors shiteness and Morris injury caused them to put him in the centre of defence

[Lencarl]

Off topic for a wee comment

 

Charlton have made the decision to ban a supporter following a number of discriminatory, abusive and threatening comments made via social media

That would ban most posters on this Forum from ever attending an Aberdeen match again

[boboisared]

Stockley a doubt for tomorrow.

[Dynamo]

If Stockley doesn't make it, it would be nice to see Storey in his preferred through the middle position with Rooney.

[DelMonte]

Rooney and Storey up top and thump the cunts

[vanderark14]

Aberdeen v Hammer throwers would be a more apt title

 

Go at them from the off

 

Is hayes in or out for this?

Still out. McInnes said on Wednesday post match he's not far away though.

[ebbe]

McGinn, Burns, Storey and Rooney in the starting 11 would be a fair statement of intent from Del Boy.

all out attack. russell at the back, playing in a 3 piece suit.

[Poodler]

Better than the 3 pieces that will likely line up

[Zeus]

Thon donkey Conor Sammon better not fucking score.

 

Absolutely shite

[Panda]

Over 13,000 home tickets sold for this apparently.

Over 14,000 away ticket sold for this apparently.

Massive big brute of a shite striker.... those types always score against us. Guaranteed a goal.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

See they've opened the RDU for anyone interested. Maybe they always had had they?

 

And is the fence between T and V still there in the south stand now that they've restricted the away support to 14,000?
