DantheDon

Seems to depend on the manager. Under Strachan I would agree and i think it was one of the things that alienated him from the scottish fans. Mcleish seems to be giving scottish based players a chance though,which is as it should be.

Would rather Johnny Russell then Jason Cummings...

Honestly wouldnt want Hayes back. As much as he was good for us he hasnt played much for the last couple of seasons and he wont have the same engine now at 31. Hendry seemed to be a good player at Dundee but I would value him at no more then 1 mill so would be expecting at least 5-6 million on top. But I would generally prefer not to sell to a rival. We want to get him into the English market with a decent sell on clause. If he does even half decent down there a 20% clause could net us an extra 6mill+.

Seems like Sunderland are signing half the players in the league at the moment. Be interesting to see how they fare next season in the chapionship.

Greg Stewart has been recalled to Birmingham as they are looking to sell him this month. Hes been pretty good for Kilmarnock this season. I'm not overly confident that we could get the best out of him, but it wouldn't surprise me if McInnes would go for him.

Would it be worth letting him go for that little? We would then need to recruit a new winger.

I was thinking with Dave McCormack saying Aberdeen can be Americas Scottish team, is it likely we try to get some yanks in? I see there seems to be talk of a couple of them going to Celtic and Rangers, how are we going to be americas team if we have no Americans?

If McInnes does end up going to Stoke, I hope we try and get Steve Clarke from Killie.

Is it not that had we scraped through and got a result nobody would be complaning about the tactics. Look at the two sevco games. We played the same way and got results. I actually think if we had lowe and devlin in the side the tactics would have worked. To me the problem is just that compared to teams like Celtic and even Sevco our squad is not strong enough.

I don't think Ball put in a good enough performance today. Would say he was at fault for the first goal and just didn't break up the play enough in the middle of the park. When we then moved Shinnie into midfield it was better but we were totally exposed on the flanks. I actually thought Considine did fine today but was always going to be done for pace once he was moved out to left back. I think it was obvious that we sorely missed Max Lowe. Personally don't buy that Celtic were there for the taking, they are not as good as they have been but neither are we. They managed to take an 8m player off the bench to turn the match for them. We are doing well to be where we are based on the players we have lost over the past few seasons. I would bite your arm off to accept a European place and integrating some of these good youngsters into the team this season. Its not that I'm unambitious but I do feel realistically we are going to need this season to rebuild. Maclennan looked decent again today although he was quickly crowded out whenever he got the ball.

Not to get too carried away but is gaulds cotract not up in the summer? If so he might fancy coming back home. I believe he is a dons fan.

I hadn't been following this but, apparently it was played in Madrid. I know this was partly down to the fan violence they had over there. But as the BBC article is alluding to, this is setting a dangerous precedent. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46500504

For those who havent read it. Apparently he said F*%k the Rangers.

He was given Game time though usually at the expense of our younger players. Only 3 starts, but was involved in 20 games over the course of the season. Its about taking your chances when your given them.

I feel like I'm just about done with football. I went from being a season ticket holder years ago to being a bit apathetic attending the odd game here or there. I just recently started going a bit more again. Its bad enough with the financial disparity which makes it barely a sport, and more of a case of buying success. Add in the corrupt SFA and its just a step too far. I think AFC have a lot to answer for. We have been badly run for years and although I think we have made a lot of progress with the 1st team setup I believe that we are still failing in other departments. I think its systematic that most football clubs are not well engaged with there fanbase and I think our club and its chariman are too invested in the current system to see the changes that need to be made. I could probably rant for a while here, but I will write to the club and let them know my feelings about this and I suggest you all do the same. I think the club needs to be made aware that if it doesn't listen to us it will be hit in the pocket as we need to deal with the corrupt complicity within afc first. Then we can maybe move forward with taking on the SFA.

Thats the real shite thing about this. Whoever is reviewing these incidents is reacting to what is being said by the ugly sisters. They are obviously based in glasgow and incapable of making a objective decision. This incident has been cited purely because Rodgers and the Celtic fans were up in arms about it. Its certainly not clear and obviously a red card. I even feel that had a foul been given i would have felt it was soft. Red tinted specs maybe but for me Mckenna gets the ball then its a coming together because of the pace both players were travelling at.

His brothers career did go downhill, but consider this. Whos made more money out of the two of them? I would hope if we offer him a really decent wage it might be enough, but he might go because he just wants to try something different.

I see Partick Thistle have signed Souleymane Coulibaly, I would have thought he would have been a good signing for us. Certainly managed plenty of goals at Killie and his wage demands cant be that high if hes gone to Partick.

Where can I find proper highlights for this match? Doesn't seem to be anywhere :/

How was Frank Ross today?

Interesting signing. If he scores bags of goals then i guess its a good one. But its a stop gap really. Next season he wont be here and if he keeps young Bruce Anderson out of the team it wont help us going forward.

I believe gauld is an aberdeen supporter having been born here. So that may work in our favour. Also hed be nearer his family.

Is it really that much of a risk to start a youngster in his position? If it is what is the point in having a yoth system? Theres never been a conveinient time to give youngsters starts over the past few seasons so we might as well give them a shot now. If we start Bruce Anderson and he gets another goal it will relieve the pressure for derek to bring in a new striker (not that im saying we shouldnt). Harrington might be a revelation and could save us bringing in some gash journeyman to back up the rb position but we wont know if Mcinnes doesnt give them a run out.

The only problem I could forsee is it introduces a level of uncertainty for the referee. If you make kicking out a red for violent conduct all of the time it allows the refs to be more consistent. Just look at how the handball rule has gone since we have introduced the qualification of if it has to be intentional. Im really gutted on this one. Its just utter corruption at the sfa/spl. They are saying that a Morelos is only a yellow card but Logans was much worse. Also no sign of Gerrard getting pulled in for his post match comments on the refs. I wouldnt be so angry but there are precedents that have been set.

If it does get overturned someone needs to ask some serious questions like suing them for inconsistant application of the rules. When you consider Logans vs Morelos its light and day which one is worse and there is plenty of provocation for Logan.
