Ref is booking everyone now.
-
Lazetic certainly looks way more athletic and quicker than yengi.
-
Game is a mess, we’re ragged and ref is awful.
-
Cartwright there is a worse foul than devlin ffs.
-
Or molloy at left back and polvara up top!?!?!?
-
He’s on the bench so fit enough, let’s see lazetic, yengi had chances but doesn’t look a footballer. Shinnie at left back too as he’ll get forward. Prob polvara off, didnt take the opportunity.
-
I don’t see it as a red at all, going in hard to win the ball and has to hit the ball 30 plus yards which requires a follow through. Not even a foul if you ask me.
-
This ref is a clown. Spoiling the game.
-
Blah so far, better team but no goals. Need more from yengi and polvara in particular.
-
Polvara at 10!!!! Dare I say his best position???
-
When you look at it, to potentially picked £3m for Boyd, gueye, Morris, ruby, and Jensen, you can’t really complain. None were good enough to regularly start. At the same time, we’ve yet to see (consistent) strong performances from topi, adil, and milanovic, so until we do it’s pretty much like for like. We still need a legit two starters, playing polvara at left mid doesn’t cut it for me. A starting cm and winger by Monday night is huge. I’m willing to wait for lazetic, but another duk type who can play wide or up top as well.
-
I actually wondered if it was the other way around. He’s had some game time, limited I know, are we putting him in the shop window?
-
I’m probably in the minority but I didn’t want him last year and not overly enthused about him coming back. I’m eager to see what lazetic has to offer and expect him to be our starting 9, can’t see him or yengi agreeing to come here as second or third choice. Especially if morris goes I really want a legit winger and a Rama midfielder. While morris has been far from consistent and struggled when starting, without him we really haven’t seen someone attack the line on the right and morris was effective at times. Think we’ve done a really poor job at getting a center midfield balance post Ramadani, plus really question how we ended up with yenhi and Ambrose. Interesting few days ahead.

Interesting……assuming you are correct, any similar situations where var has incorrectly sent a player off? Was var even looking for a hand ball in the first place, I couldn’t tell? As has been said, I thought they were reviewing a potential foul and whether it was in or outside the box.
-
Tried to watch the game at work on my phone, not overly successful, prob saw most of the first 50 mins. Thought we played well for the first 35, if sokler scores in the 2nd minute what a different game. And he should have scored. We struggled the last 10 and I said to myself we need ht. Didn’t see the penalty live but really unfortunate. Jensen gets picked on, rightly or wrongly, but I’m a fan. He gave a good foul for his first booking by being physical, and was really unlucky for the penalty. I’m not clear on the rules, isn’t a penalty enough given it wasn’t an intentional foul (not even a foul, hand in a natural running position)? I thought they’d done away with a foul and a card and a penalty was punishment enough given the nature of the so called foul. Not sure why a yellow was given. Anywhere else on the field that may not have been a foul and is certainly not a card. Second goal is a fine strike but where are our holding mids? Guy had a ton of time and space if I recall. been said before, conference league prob best for us with perhaps more competitive games. We need a 9 and a few goals and wins to pick us up. Intrigued with the end of window signings plus keen to see Marko up top. Last point, Europa league finances would have been split with the old firm I think, hibs lose and conference league alone, must help us a little financially there??
-
Absolutely shocking. Var can go fuck itself yet again. Any obvious foul there?? Double fucked.
-
Geez. We signed yengi plus lazetic, plus have sokler and Ambrose. We’re not spending millions to add miovski. As pish as Ambrose and yengi may be, we’re not spending millions here on yet another 9, I think our hope is Marko is our guy. I’d suggest, for example, if we’re spending that type of money I think we would look to sign a sadiq type who’d dominate a game, and can be wide or central. As good as bojan is, and as much as we loved him, he’s not that good and won’t dominate a game. Side note, playing for the Huns is very different to playing for us. Pressure is very different. Miovski is/was a hero here who could do no wrong here, look at the way dressers has been treated. I’d even say Miovski is a sensitive type, the move isn’t guaranteed to be a success. Especially given their current situation and an expected old firm loss at the weekend, it’s going to get worse there before it gets better, and they are pish at the back and mediocre in midfield. Miovski may struggle to settle in an unsettling environment.

Don’t be silly! I think best they can hope for is penalties
-
Best day ever!
-
Enjoyable reading the fans wanting him actually sacked at half time. Who would sign for rangers in this state if they sack the manager. Hoping for a second half pasting, the manager sacked, and miovski running in the opposite direction!
-
I should clarify, I predicted 4 by half time
-
2 now. I predict 4-0 and the orcs going mental. Good times.
-
I’d like to think miovski can find a better option than rangers. I despise them, most dons fans do, that orc land of disgusting bigots. He knows we have a rivalry, and surely knows he’d be hated by all In Aberdeen, a club that loves him and treated him so well. He’d surely be aware of the abuse and hatred he’d receive from many of our fans. Does any of that matter? I know money talks, I just don’t see them as that appealing over teams in Spain, France, Germany, Italy etc., even Saudi?? Plus, they aren’t the most stable of clubs either.
-
So, possible that there’s 3 Scottish teams in the Europa league?? How does that affect the finances ?
-
Well, one week to go in the window, what’s that chatter? A left back? A Rama type in midfield? One more forward? still think devlin and shinnie can fill in for now, we’ve got an overload of center mids including polvara but still haven’t replaced Rama, and up no clue what we have exactly but one non big lad up top is needed as a different look.
