Jocky Scott in for Scott Leitch sounds too good to be true.

Was the score not 0-0, I was there but forget? I read abou Charlie signing on teletext after the bells at Hogmany and was ecstatic, couldn't believe it.

Only if hes as good as Iffel

Past performances at Rugby Park would suggest we will have great difficulty pumping them I fear I hope that McGhee expands his horizons and looks further than the Coca cola leagues where the vast majority of players are of a dreadful quality. Stevie MacLean scored a shed load in those divisions for feck sake.

You have to ask what Duff has been showing in training as this will have been the deciding factor, you would think, on MM never giving him a run out.

I think the point being made Jute s that at times like now we need players who are willing to give their all and Kerr and McDonald dont look like those players at the moment.

Youve excelled yourself there Ajja. The true master of the single entendre, speaking of which Benny Hill is on the box :-D

If we got 10 million then the boys would all be flying and as a result we would be reasonably succesful so fingers crosses although Im tending towards the view of Padre.

Does he not get free of injury every 3 months or so, then play and be not very good Heres hoping MM can get something out of him.

I think hes better than any of our other options so cant be bad on a short term deal

Fingers crossed that we can actually find the back of the net a few times because the defence for this game is nightmare material.

Another sensible post. On the whole your right so I think its a wait and see until everything beds in. Feel more positive after reading that, lets hope I still feel the same after the Dundee game

It's amazing how tolerant you can feel coming off of a nightshift and gettting 4 hours kip

Stoney, you are deluded if you think this is better fair than anything we've seen over the past 5 years. At least after last years bad start there was an expectation that we would come good. I don't have that expectation this season and feel that our results fail to paper over the glaring deficiencies in our performances except for the extremely foolish or deluded such as yourself.

How are things 'coming into shape rather nicely'? We dont look as though we could score in a barrel of fannies,our midfield is largely anonymous, our strikers ineffectual and all of this against some of the shittest teams in the league. Perhaps you could enlighten us as to what looks so good from your perspective other than the clean sheets??

This result wont diguise the fact that we don't look like scoring from open play. We cant keep relying on Charlie to bang a free kick in to get us a goal but a wins a win so I'll take it and try to remain upbeat

We don't attempt that shooting thing anymore it seems.

McGhee irked by Sone Nigeria injury Aberdeen manager IS upset player has LIMPED back from International DUTY By Michael Gannon Published: 12/09/2009 LIMPING: Sone Aluko has been injured on Nigeria duty More Pictures Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee is threatening to pull Sone Aluko out of the Nigerian under-20 World Cup squad. The attacker is due to meet up with the Super Eagles squad on Tuesday ahead of the tournament which kicks-off in Egypt on September 24. But the Dons manager is livid after the forward limped back into Pittodrie following Nigeria’s training camp in Spain last week. Fifa cannot order clubs to release players and McGhee is prepared to play hard ball. He said: “Sone is not away yet – whether he goes or not remains to be seen. “He has come back with Achilles injuries because he has been training on astroturf all week, which I cannot understand – they do have grass in Spain. “On top of that he has also been put through a mini-preseason, which he did not need. “I am not happy about it at all. “He is getting treatment and we are trying to get him fit for Monday night’s match at Falkirk. “Beyond that I will make a decision whether I let him go back or not – it is not compulsory . “We were letting him go because Sone insisted he wanted to play in this tournament but I might just take a harder line because of the way I feel he has been used. “It will not be a difficult decision for me because I gave them upmost respect and I told Sone it was up to him. He wanted to go and play so I respected his wishes because he is looking to his international future and I was not prepared to be the one who jeopardised that. “So we decided to let him go for these games, but now he is back in this condition I am not particularly sure I will let him go back. “I will see how he is on Monday night but if he shows any signs of a reaction – or if he cannot play the whole game for us – then he will not be going.â€

I read it as meaning that we could have a team made up mainly of home grown talent much as we had in the 80's but saw no reference to replicating the 80's teams achievements.

I'm always suspicious off anyone who displays those traits.

I might agree but I dont have a clue what your on about. Whit is a "game-brreaker" player

I agree Padre but we have been promised, by the ususal suspects, a super duper man manger who can achieve anything in Mark McGhee so surely it shouldn't be too hard for a living god such as he to turn around this guys performances.

Who if you cast your mind back to the turn of the year last year was our best player by a mile. There is a lot going on with him at the moment but we cant overlook the fact that he is a quality player...on his game. It is up to McGhee to try and get him playing to the form we know he can produce.

Colin Meldrum was a dandy as a boy. Doesnt matter a damn if he can't coach right enough so fingers crossed.

Suggestion on the hat that Grassi is to be offered a 1 year deal
