For all Rooney's faults I would still back him to score some of the chances Main has passed up recently, and I think Rooney is finished as a prem class striker. Aye. Never really came back from that injury he had in the year we were chasing Deila's Celtic. Lost whatever mobility he had and he could ill afford it. Losing his supply in Hayes and McGinn that 2017 summer put the seal on it really. Link to comment

Rooney was slow but he had intelligence to know where to be at the right time. I’d probably take Rooney over Main to be fair which is really saying something. Main is like Rooney without the tap in and penalties Link to comment

Betty Swallicks Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Highly unlikely he'll get a new contract from DC unless we win the Scottish Cup or finish 2nd this season and I can't see him being happy with his contract running down till it expires (it doesn't really make sense for the club to allow that to happen either as we need to work a window or two in advance). We might not have to suffer for another 18months if they can sort out a mutual agreement in the summer or this time next year. It would be better for everyone if he fucked off in the summer to stop the apathy especially if we get crowds back for the start of next season. Link to comment
Donscanada Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The amount of moaning that goes on this forum is unbelievable. You would think the Dons were on the brink of relegation. While the recent play has not been pretty... still 3rd with games in hand to hibs and riding a 6 game legaue unbeaten streak. Just 3 league losses to-date despite significant injuries to forwards than midfield and lately defenders. 1 2 Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Yaaay we’re not on the brink of relegation even though we have had injuries games in hand mean we are even further ahead of Hibs really yippee. All is fantastic & Mcinnes is worthy of keys to city for being a legend Link to comment

He’s got zero strikers instinct He actually moved his head away from it never mind throw himself at it. Embarrassing performance from him, he looked as if he'd spent most of the holidays on the drink. Looked Overweight and his off the ball movement was pathetic as well. He's not a Geordie either. He's from South Shields, that's closer to Sunderland. Link to comment

It's been shite (with a couple of brief flurries of entertainment in December 18 and September 20) since the cup final of 2017. If they called the league this week, I don't think I would miss the football, it's boring as fuck. 2 Link to comment

You should have seen them 30 odd years ago (quality of pitches and the refs) You are also over-estimating just how good English football is. Remember that less than 3 years ago Burnley, who you would now consider an established EPL club, couldn't beat us over 180 minutes. And we had the likes of Dom Ball and Stephen Gleeson playing for us. It's probably true that only sevco and Celtic would be in the EPL but given access to the funds in that league, I'd expect both to be top 8 -10 fairly quickly with the potential to go top 4-6 eventually. Ourselves, Hearts and Hibs would all comfortably sit in the Championship and I'd think we could be promotion candidates with the right manager. Link to comment
DD1903 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Who was defending this charlatan's record against sevco recently? 3 wins in 13 against gerrard now. No win at home since 2016. Embarrassing shambles Link to comment

Donscanada Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Dont know... but they showed more attacking form before the send off than the first two matches. And made the rangers play to the whistle... it is mute point against a side that has lost i think once in all domestic and euro competitions this year. Would u have preferered motherwell 5-5 shape against them. Link to comment
Robin Askwith Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Far too much beauts desperate to point the finger at DM today, I actually think his times up, as his record against the Huns and Celtic is crap, but he was more positive today than I’ve seen us against them, under him kept two ‘strikers’ on after going down to 10.

His tactics were bizarre. All very well playing 2 strikers from the start (and not changing things immediately after the red card) But what the fuck is the point of having 2 strikers if you then play your most creative (but also most one footed) player at right wing back....when he is left footed? He shouldn't be giving away penalties, he should be winning them. As it happens. we ended up giving our best performance against them since the Cup win at their shithole. But I think it's the players.....Hayes in particular.....who can be congratulated for that, refusing to give up the game when all the evidence pointed to a potential 4 or 5 goal horsing Link to comment
