hypothermia again?

[BWG]

I hope you gave Leroy a piece of your mind.

 

Fit een is Leroy? The virgin looking one, the Southern gentleman or the useless lassie?

The black een.

Coldest Ive ever been in my life, including Arbroath 05

Motherwell 6 weeks ago was easily colder than tonight

[maryhilldon]

Who is that hairdo on the Patrick coaching staff ha ha ha ha

Scott Patterson and his incredible Hulk hair.

[maryhilldon]

All i can say about that game is '3points won'. Dull, dull, dull. The amazing goals from the youth players on redtv at half time were the highlight.

[KidCreole]

Got a fucking cheese burger from thon thing on the corner of the Merkland and the SS. Fucking stone cold.

sums up the whole turgid affair

[Dom Sullivan]

No they were short of turkeys in the Congo so they sent for him. And they have lined him up with a bush baby to see if he can do there what he can't do here. SCORE.

Fucking what the fuck??

[Geoff_Tipps]

Unbelievable

 

I thought he was pish

 

You need to open your eyes then. Clearly the best player on the pitch last night.

 

Surprised so many are having a go at the performance. It was never going to be pretty when a team turn up and have no interest in playing football, just interested in running the clock down. We did what we needed to do.

 

Thought we kept the ball well for long periods and thoroughly deserved the win.

[ABZ RED]

Reynolds and Ball on, rather than Harvie and Ross just about sums McInnes up.

 

I thought Ball looked like he knew exactly what he was doing running down the clock. Unlike most of the others who are useless at it.

 

A role found for him then.

[BWG]

Greg Stewart was great last night. Severely unlucky not to get a goal when their keeper decided to be fucking Neuer for 3 seconds.

 

Anyone slating him kens fuck all about fitba. FACT.

[fifered]

A good win in terrible conditions. All that was required last night I think.

 

Mckenna was decent as was Stewart Shinnie and in spells Christie. GMS clearly couldn't be arsed in the cold.

 

Hearts are going to be a much tougher test, fully expect a levein team to try and kick the crap out of us for 90 minutes in the hope of getting a draw.

[CraigHill]

Happy to get the win, was expecting that to be a 0v0 the way it unfolded.

The opposition were horrendous, intent on not making a game of it.

Played some okay football in the first half, second was more of a grind it out performance.

 

McKenna is brilliant.

Stewart good first half, Christie good second.

Considine had a decent game too. He is okay at left back against shite like that, just not against a team that has a go with width.

 

Special mention to the weather, fucking freezing.

 

Expecting a similarly turgid struggle against Hearts. Will take a similar outcome and a shit load more beers.

Motherwell 6 weeks ago was easily colder than tonight

Probably the walk to the car made it worse, sna clean off the coupon all the way back

 

Not a great game last night, 3 points though.

 

Stewart and Christie were decent.

[CalgaryDon]

[alscotoz]

 

Thanks.

 

Isn't the snow cute...no it's fucking freezing.

 

Be great if we could secure Christie full time.

[muttonhumper]

Motherwell 6 weeks ago was easily colder than tonight

 

I agree.

 

Though I had on less clothes for that een.

[muttonhumper]

Just fucking chuffed wi' 3 points wi' minimum drama or fuss.

 

Less said aboot the game the better.

[robbojunior]

Absolutely terrible game of football but another win. We were pretty dire to watch but never looked in danger of losing cos partick were absolutely fucking horrendous.

 

Greg Stewart was good. Kept possession well and seemed to be able to make space and use the ball well even when he was put in the shit by a teammate. Couple of good chances too.

 

Christie was also good it would be a major bonus if we can somehow keep him next season. Always going forward, direct, energetic, battling. Best player at the club.

[the_shrimp]

What time does Pttodrie open today? I want to get down and beat the queues of folk to pick up the DVD of last night's match.

[V for Vendetta]

 

literally, NO-BODY was that level of excited when he signed

 

most knew what we were getting and a few were quietly optimistic

No, quite a lot were getting very excited and claimed hed be an upgrade on Mcginn and Hayes type of thing.

 

Which he isnt, due to the aforementioned gross inconsistency which most people are now seeing.

If Stewart comes into a strong run of form now and we also sign McGinn, McInnes could have some real selection headaches.

[Reliablesource]

I know Im a terrible human and an even worse fan.

Man enough to admit it I suppose.

It's ok, it's New Years Resolution time: stop being a dick.

[aberdeen1970]

 

Stewart starting to look more confident and direct, much more of a threat. No way that Rooney goal should have been disallowed. Good stuff from Christie to set up the winner.

[Dal Riata Don]

Considine had a great game IMO

 

Stewart as mentioned looked good.

 

Shinnie seemed at half strength with the yellow cards hanging over his head and his passing was off.

 

McClean was very deep to help distribution from defense - I thought he did quite well given his fuck up against celtic.

 

Would've liked to have seen more youngsters involved and surprised that Maynard didn't even make the bench.

[BWG]

Watched those highlights...frothing at the mouth at the prospect of the midfielder Del will bring in to compliment G-Stew..the right blend of aggression and finesse, and we've a title to win.

 

The midfield situation has got be sorted. Tansey has failed to make the required impact. The boy Docherty from Hamilton is worth a look IMO, as are Kamara, Henderson and Crawford.

 

One that MIGHT be worth a look considering he's away to be out of contract is the boy Aurtenetxe. Seems to do well at left back for Dundee but can also play centre-back. Not exactly lightening but certainly quicker than Considine and would free Shinnie up more for midfield.

 

Maynard and Ball out, McGinn and a proper central midfielder in and I'd be happy.

 

If we can manage the Cumdawg on loan on top of that I'd be fucking delighted.

[tommo1903]

It’s aright men we’ve got Niall McGinn coming back to look forward to. A man who couldn’t cut it in South Korea and is behind Josh Magennis in the Northern Irish pecking order.

 

Haha.

 

McKenna is brilliant.

 

Settle.

Are there actually hints of Cummings being possible or is this just something youd love to see happen?

Not gonna pretend to be ITK but I think it's fairly common knowledge that McInnes wants to try and bring him in if there's a deal to be done. 50/50 just now I'd say. I'd imagine McGinn coming in has lessened the urgency for bringing in forwards and that a solid midfielder/defender now has to be the priority.
