Daisy1903 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Think we could do with signing another LCB. Would give us so many more options Link to comment

I think we'd have more players potentially out of position moving to a back 3 for next Saturday than we would if we just had a wee tweak and moved Scales across and dropped McCrorie back. Seems likely what will happen. Leighton will come in and take that midfield slot left by McCrorie. Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Remove the Clarkson goal from the equation - even still, that was a midfield performance from the youngster that I've not seen in many a day at Pittodrie. And how ironical is it that he's so similiar in age, size, style and stature to our own Connor Barron. If Clarkson doesn't make it at Liverpool, he'll still make it at the top level somewhere else. Huge talent. And one that we need to build our team around, for the rest of the season. Link to comment

It could be a struggle for Barron to get back in if we hit some form whilst he’s out. Link to comment

Some have said it was a physicality thing so assume he was getting kicked up in the air. Link to comment
starryfish Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Can’t see a thread about him but how good was that finish from Duk on Saturday? He had lots of time to think about it, showed some good acceleration and finished it off with a really composed finish. Credit to Ramirez as well for the through ball. 1 Link to comment

I thought he’d sneaked it beyond the far post. Easy option would have been to square it for Vinnie for a simple tap in so good on him for taking it on himself. Link to comment
HaarDon Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 If we played like that against both cheeks with a 4-1 or 3-1 win , i think i'd paint my house red. Link to comment

We beat the victims 4-1 at Pittodrie in November 1985 with Frankie McDougall scoring all four for us. Shame the TV cameramen were on strike at the time, so unfortunately there is no footage of that beautiful occasion. Fucking just like it. However, the 5-1 home win footage against the dead club from January '85 is still readily available online. Don't be surprised if we give the rangers a proper, well-deserved doing this season. ?

Itsagoal Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Sorry if this has been covered before but just watched Sportscene. Gallagher is a dirty, thick, cheating, useless footballer. After his horrific assault on Coulson, he has the temerity or the stupidity to point at the ball, as if to say “Ref, I played the ball”, when it was clearly obvious he was nowhere near it. This tackle in itself should have been a red card. At the penalty, he had the temerity or the stupidity to point to his chest, when the ball obviously his hit outstretched hand which couldn’t possibly been any further from his chest. Dearie, dearie me. What an abomination of a footballer. Link to comment
Dons79 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 And yet we had the temerity and audacity to offer said cunt a contract, one of the worst pieces of business alongside main to ever wear a red strip.? Link to comment

Same here after seeing it on tv, but I’ll admit that at the time , from my view in the South Stand a yellow seemed right. But the ref was just a few yards away with a clear view. And I think Gallagher was just fuckin slow rather than deliberately dirty. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 He's a fucking coward. Fine when he's got a baseball bat or tackling someone from behind but didn't see him win many face to face battles in a red shirt against strikers last season, got rag dolled a few times. Link to comment

Arnasson was struggling when we resigned him as a defender. In his first spell when he was a much younger midfielder the couple of times he played centre back he looked decent. I would put him much more akin to Bug Wullie Garner minus the shit hot punditry of course. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Was watching the highlights/full match replay on RedTV and really impressed with Jack McKenzie on the comms. He speaks really well and is not afraid to say what we're doing wrong tactically etc. Link to comment
