I never realised that, presumed he was an Aberdeen fan since he was a local loon. Its annoying how all the decent footballers coming through seem to be OF fans.

I don't think he would go to Celtic, I just get the feeling hes more ambitious then that.

Its the exact same as we were against Sachere. And you seen the difference when we opened up and attacked them. I don't know why McInnes keeps persisting with a system that's not working.

Well that's the window closed for English clubs. So it looks like Scott will be with us for at least another 6 months.

I'm wondering if it will make any difference to the way we negotiate these add on clauses. It seems Bournemouth turned down effectively £20 million at least for him. That would have been £4 million for us. Could we put in clauses that if they get an offer they reject we would be due a percentage of the highest offer when they leave on a free?

Bit disappointing to see no action on Ryan Fraser. Unlikely we will get anything for him now.

Will probably be a difficult game. I expect us to set up quite defensively tonight. I think its important we get the away goal so Id take a score draw.

I remember that it would have been Bourdoux if we had beaten Kairat Almaty. Not an easy draw but we would have been in with a chance.

I think its hard to draw a conclusion without knowing whats gone on behind the scenes. If McKenna has indicated he wants a transfer away privately before now then maybe he feels he needs to force the issue. If we have really had offers of £5 million+ with a decent sell on then we should sell him.

Great performance all round! Very excited for the rest of the season now.

Hedges looks some player.

He will probably go 3-5-2. Which isnt my preference just whati think is likely. Should mean we will be a bit more open which could be dangerous but i expect we will have enough to get the job done.

Gallacher looks like an athlete but your right hes not got great touch. Ojo looked good on the ball, I think he will do better in the midfield area as opposed to playing at the back. Cosgrove was totally isolated but I think he did alright. I think we would be better with someone like Wilson up front if we are looking to play on the counter, Cosgrove is quite slow to accelarate but he holds up the ball well and brings others into play. I think we could have had a go and got the result but I dont see us having any problems back at Pittodrie.

They seem to be getting confidence from how shite we are playing. It doesnt help that the referee is one who doesnt consider football a contact sport. This game is getting away from us.

We are getting what we deserve, giving these guys way too much respect. I think its got more to do with the tactics than the individual performances. Also this commentator is garbage.

I see it has been picked for premier sports 1. 17:45 KO.

Any word of next weeks game being on TV yet?

The tie should have been put to bed earlier but the performances were ok at this stage of the season. Thats us through and weve got a couple of games under our belt now which will help the fitness. Sam could have had 4-5 over the two ties but I think his movement and link up play was quite good. I think he had much more impact than Main who didnt do much when he came on.

As much as it would be easy to blame gash, It was Scott Mckenna not winning the ball that fucked us up there.

Just totally switched off :/

This one could be tricky, they are halfway through their season and will be a lot fitter than us. Also there's a lot of new faces in our team. I think we will scrape it over the two legs.

You are probably right, It makes you think maybe that is what is wrong with our approach to recruitment in general. Look at the players who went on to do well with us and most of them were on an upward trajectory. Think Severin, Hayes, Mcginn, Maclean etc. Of course there are exceptions, Rooney being the stand-out.

Yeah, and a couple at a lower level. When you look at it its not a lot but he was doing well at that point. I cant really put my finger on why it worked out for him then but not now.

Whether May can recapture any kind of goalscoring form after moving on will be interesting to see. But here he will be wasted like Stewart as he isnt suited to our system. Hes tried hard and you cant fault his workrate but hes not a natural finisher.
