Popular Post barassie_afc Posted October 6, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2012 Should have been in hours ago but my mate was playing a county bowling match which meant I had to watch and have some more cider Firstly, some have said "massive improvement", I can say we know have footballers in the team. Sounds strange but by christ its true , and to an extent it is a "massive improvement" Anyway, first half I didnt think we were terrible just a bit off the pace and I need to see the first goal again to assess whether it was indeed a "clanger", to me he stopped and should have reacted better , but perhaps thats hyper critical. Second half, WOW, just wow. A football team that play football, the way its meant to be played, I still dont think the formation is getting the ABSOLUTE best out of the team, but the talent is good enough to make it work. I have to say gents and ladies, after the final whistle I have never felt as proud of a display of football in a long, long time, it was exciting and enjoyable, hand on heart I cannot say that about any Aberdeen team in the last 20 years ! It was that good to me. Special mention to the old grey nutter with the barbour jacket in front of me, who took football swearing to a new level Langfield its either a 7 or a 4 depending on the first goal Jack- Tidy 7Anderson-8 , a wee bit shaky at the start, then did what he does best defendConsdine Again tidy -7Reynolds- good -7 Osbourne- 8 The water carrier, still think he might be better at RB, but just gets stuck in recycles , loads of energyHughes- 9 Cannot understand the hatred, well I can, he is a weegie Hun, creates space for himself finds a team mate , easy, simple but very effective, been crying out for a player like this for years Rae - 7 I dont know what to make of Rae, thought is overall play was ok, but he has the classic knack of the "late run into the box" that isnt taught and is talent Mcginn- 8 Striker/Winger- who cares, talented and scores goals, I AM IN Vernon- 8 felt sorry for Vern, has to drop so deep, not his game, but an outstanding finish and was very pleased Saved the best for last. I remember when Tup was spunking himself silly about Maguire and I mentioned he doesnt have heart. Frasers technical ability is there, but over and above that , a heart of a lion as a i said earlier , he gets BRUTALISED all game, gets back up and says fuck you, I am going to beat you again. I dont think in all my time I have seen a young man with so much courage and desire, Maguire didnt have it, and neither did Fyvie. Young man I would pay to watch you every week. - 10 out of 10, sensational, get him on a big contract now. I truly enjoyed today, well done Aberdeen 28 2 Link to comment

ollie1903 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 At least you're honest. As well as used to it.It's not often, but I can admit when I'm wrong. Without using the words "wrong", "never", "am" and "I", tell us why you can't. 3 Link to comment
HH_is_back Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hughes is a very clever player just a shame Aberdeen fans can't see past their blind hatred of anything with a Rangers connection. Conveniently forgotten for Sir Eck and Jess though! Anyway back on topic I didn't manage along yesterday like planned as I have a winter golf tie today so I wasn't allowed a pass for two days in a row. Sounds like a missed a good performance on a ground that has so many ghosts for us. Glad to see they were put to bed today. 1 4 Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Can't remember player like Fraser - Think 80's (if we're allowed to that is) ginger and occasionally talks bollocks on tele. Link to comment

RUL Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Theo went the other way Roberto, as did wright Link to comment
Crossbow Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Can't remember player like Fraser - Think 80's (if we're allowed to that is) ginger and occasionally talks bollocks on tele. Joe Miller could beat a man like Fraser can but Fraser has already put in more effective crosses than Miller ever did. I suspect the last player we had whp was a direct comparitor might be Charlie Cooke? Though can only remember him with Chelsea. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Theo went the other way Roberto, as did wright Thats true but I suppose the point Roberto was making is those guys still get a level of respect from Dons fans despite leaving us for a bitter rival. The original post suggesting most dons fans hate players like Hughes because they are ex huns is nonsense frankly. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 hughes is doing a decent job imo ably assisted by osbourne who make up for hughes chrisclarkness Link to comment
Mikeyboy1903 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Osbourne should be beside Fraser in a backup role .... Any cunt that thinks he'll put a 2 footed challenge in will get Ozzyed. Link to comment

I suspect the last player we had whp was a direct comparitor might be Charlie Cooke? Though can only remember him with Chelsea.Charlie Cooke was one of the greats, but in his time at Pittodrie he was always guilty of trying to beat yet another man, and losing the ball far too often. 1 Link to comment
Foster14 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hughes didn't play at the front of the three yesterday and there was a marked improvement in his performance. Much more suited to his game. Link to comment
deco_1985 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The game yesterday was brilliant. Well, the second half especially, is possibly the best I have seen Aberdeen play in a LONG time. First half we weren't quite at the races I didn't think, and I thought Hughes and Jack were particularly poor. However, in the second half, I thought Hughes was outstanding, as was the rest of the team. Fraser was outstanding, and I am genuinely excited about the prospect of seeing him week in, week out in an Aberdeen top. Get the boy tied to a long term contract now. Roll on Tannadice!

muttondressedaslamb Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Wasn't at the game yesterday but glad to read Hughes played well. Link to comment
OddJob Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Wasn't at the game yesterday but glad to read Hughes played well.Hughes has had a strange season so far. In some games he's played really well and looked composed on the ball, but in other games he's looked lost and breathing out his arse before the 1st half has ended. I've always rated the guy like but don't think he should be playing ahead of Milsom once he's fit again Link to comment
K-9 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Cracking result and sounds like cracking performance to go with it. Can't remember last time after good win and performance (Hibs) that we went on and did same the week after. Link to comment
