I try and make at least 5 home games a season these days. I had a season ticket for a few few years up until the beginning of last season but with change of circumstance combined with quite a lot of games getting moved for tv (getting up at 7 on a sunday to get through for a 12:15 ko is just no fun) it became hard to maintain. Getting through from Inverness is pretty easy, supporters bus goes for 15 quid return and when you have your season ticket already it's actually quite a cheap day out.

I think it's a bit too early to be calling it on Maynard. Personally I thought he did fine, his movement up front created a lot of space for Christie and Wright to exploit. Arnason looked well off the pace and against a more positive and skillful team we could have easily conceded. I thought Tansey did pretty well and his free kick for the goal was McGinn-esque, it was a bit of a poachers header from AOC whilst we are on the subject. Chuffed for Storey, he took his goal pretty well though I thought the keeper should have got something on it. It's going to be interesting to see who starts up front on Wednesday but Storey must now be staking a claim given he's the only recognised striker to actually score this season.... and in a lot less game time. Hamilton were fucking brutal it has to be said, it's fairly miraculous we got through that without injury. They were Hearts like in their thuggery pretty much the entire game. The ref was fucking murder as well, I know it's only his first game in the top flight but if he keeps up that level of incompetence Willie Collum may have contest for the most hated ref in Scotland tag.

Nah, don't think they have premier sports. The gellions have done in the past, that's your best bet

I did the thursday before it though, I thought he looked pretty good when he came on against Brijek. I've only seen brief highlights of the Apollon game but he did sound off the pace, DM likes him though so I won't be surprised to see him start on thursday.

McInnes is never going to play Maclean as a striker Rico, why on earth would he when he has 4 on the books? I agree on your back 5 though and McInnes probably does too but I suspect he will play Maynard up front, Apollon will come at us and Maynards pace and movement has the best potential to cause them problems on the counter. Could see Stewart or GMS drop out of this one as there's no way Christie is and I would be surprised to see Maclean dropped either. I reckon it will be --------Lewis--------- -----O'Connor------Reynolds------ logan-----Arnason---------Consi --------McLean-----Shinnie------- Stewart-------Maynard--------Christie

Firstly lol at hertz. Secondly I would agree with this but stranger things have happened, Hartley was a fantastic player for Hearts and the fans love him and there is a recognition that he was up the swanny without Stewart and Hemmings. I wouldn't be surprised to see him interviewed put it that way....

When people say the idea of redeveloping pittodrie hasn't been properly investigated they are right to a certain extent. It's just when you scratch the surface of the idea it's pretty obvious it would cost an awful lot more so what's the point digging further!

Possibly Stewart not being as defensively astute as NM was?

So is the move for moult dead do we think?

Lost 2-1 away to Peterhead. They are going to take a pounding at the san giro on opening day!

That's a great bit of business for Utd. He will score shitloads in the championship!

It came out ages ago.

if we get to the group stages we would need the strength in depth. Storey has been getting a fair bit of game time in the pre season games, and doing pretty well with it too.

Seems to me that the spfl are testing the water with fans at the moment. In short, they can't be arsed with the hassle and would like to just move on. The fans were instrumental in making sure that the tribute act were forced to stay life in the bottom tier, we need to unify again and push hard if justice is to be served.

If I took my red tinted shades off I would say Lee Wallace is a better LB than Andy Considine. Not sure he would be a positive influence in the squad though.

Rick and Morty is a new find for me, not for all I would suspect but I really like it.

I have no idea!

Ah so it was, mis-read the article on the beeb.

Having found a little bit more about Apollon I am not feeling quite so confident as I was when I heard the next team was Cypriot. They not only made the group stages last season but got out of them too which included a win over Bilbao. Put out in the last 32 by Anderlecht. This game is no gimme.

Top drawer goals. Just brilliant. Watch the second one back and keep an eye on christie, interestingly he makes a bee line to someone on the touch line (probably DM but hard to be sure) and not GMS. I was reasonably confident that if we showed up we would score but I really loved how we turned the screw in the second half. Play like that you have to fancy our chances against Apollon.

Is this on red TV?

Not sure about skippy, 2 years ago hell yes but not so sure he would add much now especially if maloney comes.

You're being far too hard on yourself SeeBass. The original is a cracking picture

I find the ultra's groups a bit irritating at times if I'm honest. They have their moments with displays etc but their holier than thou at least we're trying to create atmosphere something you should aspire to oik attitude rubs me up the wrong way. Ultimately I'm just not a fan of manufactured 'atmosphere', if a game is turgid, it's fucking turgid and 200 people trying to make a song and dance about said turgidness comes across to me as weird, desperate and pathetic. Good atmospheres are created by the events on the pitch and that's a state of affairs that is never going to change. Not only that it's incredibly rare to get a game where it is bouncing all the way through. Football matches have high's and lows and the crowd turning a bit quiet is not a bad thing, it's just part of the game.
