  1. Apparently clubs have agreed the McGeough deal, but we are still thrashing out length of deal & of course, money. Also heard the Dunne offer is nothing to do with an offer for McKenna, havn't heard any more about the Kennedy lad from the farmers.

     

    A fit MCgeough, Ojo & Ferguson sounds decent in midfield though, & Gregg Leigh signing a permanent deal would be  :thumbsup:

  2. Hard to keep track of all the formation changes today & again our team looked tactically clueless.

    Hearts were the better team for most of the game & they are clearly awful :frown:  Thought Taylor was possibly my motm, not much to choose from tbh!

      Hearts have an uncanny knack of making you play the way they do (sometimes called hoofball)

      Feared the worst when i heard Campbell was playing in the middle against the hammerthrowers. A special mention to Curtis Main who gave one of the worst performances ive seen in a red shirt ,in my 50 years of going :eek:

     

    As TC said, we actually,somehow gained ground in the league today , thanks to Nialls sweet strike, but we are still a hard watch.

  3. Thought our better players yesterday were defenders, & i couldnt help thinking the lokes Of McLennan & Hedges have to do a hell of a lot more.

        Livi probably deserved their goal, but it was a really poor game in front of a decent enough crowd.

      Thought Main had a bit of a shocker, although no lack of effort.  Our 2nd goal was taken very well by Anderson, wonder if he will feature on Sunday?    They are a pretty tough team to beat so any kind of win yesterday has to be good, eye bleeding stuff though, we badly need a playmaker as we have no creativity.

  4. I just don’t see it as that. He’s not a tough tackling midfielder for example, he gives away so many needless and stupid fouls. I’m not tracking stats on that but if you watch our games it’s plain to see. And stat wise , 16 yellow and 2 red in the last season and a half I think, which excludes the previous season when he barely played but did get sent off on his debut. He’s just not a smart player in my opinion.

     

    Regardless, this is getting blown way out of proportion, my whole point is that we needed him on the field yesterday and he made a stupid decision, a needless tackle, and it hurt us.

     

    He still has time on his side & he will learn i'm sure, but still good to see some of our players with fight & desire.

      Re tough tackling midfielder , i think the likes of Bisconti, Richardson or Windass would relish a tussle with nomarks like Brown :laughing:

  5. So have I, and many say it wasn't deserved, and if our Manager is to be believed, Lennon said it was never a red and we've been harshly treated as well. 

     

    He won the ball, he doesn't even touch Ajer for fuck sake, it's absolutey mental that our own fans are slating the cunt, he shows a bit of dig and fight, something we lack terribly and he's taking stick from our own.

     

    I appreciate it's all about opinions, but this is bonkers, it's not even a foul, if he makes contact with Ajer, with the leading leg, then it's absolutely a sending off, but he clearly and cleanly wins the ball, the ball is there to be won, and he wins it.

     

     

    Agreeing with this KFP, at last we have a player with some bollocks , kinda reminds me of the brush tbh !  We have been a soft touch on the field for pretty much 2 decades.

      As for that fanny Ajer :mad:

  6. Well that was Baltic (still not warmed up yet) Wasn't a great game, but never expect it to be against Accies.

    We always struggle against well organised sides your St.Js,ICTs & your Accies, this game was no different.

      We played some ok stuff at times, and it made a real difference 1st half having a proper midfielder in Ojo, feared the worst when he failed to appear after break.

        Thought McKenna looked back to his best today, in fact my motm. Taylor & Consi did well aswell & Fergie battled hard.

      Poor crowd again, but was very cold, barely above freezing

  7. There have been a few nightmares since i started going 68/69.

     

    Livi 6 1 at Pittodrie, getting knocked out of cups by Stenny,Qots, Queens park & Raith.  getting hit for 5 by farmers & maroon hivs were all bad, but the most gut wrenching,spineless & diabolical was the 9 drubbing at the Girodome.

     

    McGhee GTF :redface:

  8. Mckenna is no where near as good as he was pre injury. I hope he improves, but he's been considerably lacklustre for the past year or so. Odd game he's done what I'd expect, second half he did but first he was embarrassingly bad. No one I know who isn't a dons fan rates him in the slightest. Definitely need to be getting as much as we can for him imo.

     

     

    May well struggle to get £2m now imho! :dunno:

  9. He was absolutely shocking in the first though.

     

    Logan, Gallagher, even Wilson, you half expect them to be poor. McKenna is a who you hope to rely on and yet he chucks it all too easily. He's also a guy who - lets be honest here - we're relying on to net us a big transfer fee either in January or summer.

     

    He may well land us a big fee, but would it be any bigger than a fee for Ferguson or Cosgrove ?  I agree he has been off the boil for a while including 1st half on Wednesday.

  10. Talk about a game of two halfs, 1st we were terrible & never got going, tbh we could have been 3 or 4 down before Gallagher scored. 2nd half we were much improved & could & should have scored 3 ourselves, Sam in paticular should have scored.

        Does it really need a rollicking at half time to fire them up ?

    Thought Gallagher, Ferguson, Taylor,McKenna & Leigh all very good after ht.  Only one who really disappointed me last night with apparent lack of effort was James Wilson :frown:

     

    They play a pretty decent, fast pace game, but once we started attacking them, they didnt look too clever. Defo rattled them.
