  1. We set up to absorb and counter. Did it against sevco and got away with it. Wrong tactics yesterday and same wrong tactics were used against sevco. We have the players to counter. We don't have the players to sit in. Especially when the opposition have players who can foul with impunity. This team should be pressing as high up the pitch as possible. At a guess McInnes has us playing this way as we probably lost the title last season against teams that sat in and we failed to break down. That said, 3-0 flattered Celtic. 3 errors from us 3 goals from them. January we need a at least one player that improves the defensive aspect of the midfield. Rooney was a waste of a shirt although if Maddison had played him in immediately prior to the tims first goal, instead of taking the shot, I'm sure he would have been a hero today. Such is the life of a striker.
  2. Italia 90 Before that the only folk that liked fitba were folk that liked fitba. After :'(
  3. who?
  4. I assume the part of the medical he failed was the part where they asked him how much per week It would take for him to be fit...
  5. Aye thats what I remember. Rafael and someone else of equal shiteness(relative), getting played in front of him out of position in midfield. So decided if he was thought of that poorly, that mediocre players out of position were a better option, he was better off moving elsewhere to develop his career. Correct move as hindsight now shows.
  6. Thought in the first two games Lewis looked suspect. Looked properly dodge tonight. He'll cost us points. Stockley was good when he came on. Rooney's finish was top. Nice to see Wes get a wee boost. Hayes targeted again. Hopefully we get a good solid MF that allows the likes of MacLean, Jack, Wes, Storey to push forward and take the pressure (and hits) off McGinn and Rooney.
  7. Scored against 'boro last season, when City beat them. Don's have a decent record with former Whaddon Road loanees (Hayes and Hector), hopefully he does as well as them.
  8. Wes would be decent. Cheltenham had him on loan two seasons ago. THE ONLY player good enough who put in effort that season. Think that says it all about his commitment 19 on loan and your the only player putting in the effort. Think he had the talent also but hard to judge in a team where the captain fucked off to his mates wedding instead of playing in a relegation game. Think he was top scorer despite only playing from end of January and I'm sure getting injured before the final 3 games. Played wide but can go through the middle too, in a sort of Hayes/McGinn role.
  9. Had a text of a Plymuff mate earlier asking my opinion. Told him I'm delighted as means Cheltenham have an even better chance of back to back promotions if their frontline is going to be Goodwillie and Reid. Dan Holman will score at least 3 times as many as that two together.

    Brexit Vote

    lol what does this even mean If you were english voting in england last night, you'd have voted for brexit...
  12. As soon as I had the push notification this morning I thought "Labour, Yorkshire, MP. There will be mental health issues, but it'll be an anti immigration, anti EU nutter." TBF the amount of trolling being done on social media by the leave supporters is enough to drive the most sensible folk crazy. Question Time cancelled because politicians can't be trusted not to point score on the murder of a colleague.
  13. Have we seen the first act of terrorism borne from the xenophobic agenda brought by the Brexit vote and backed by UKIP, BNP, Britains First and the worst of the Tory party?
  14. I've been telling my nephews for over a year that we are going to sign Jackson Irvine. They're County ST holders. Would be good if I could show off my prophet like abilities.
  15. No idea who he is. Signing defenders from relegated teams is never a good idea. Signing defenders with two relegation's on their CV is a fucking awful idea.

    Brexit Vote

    I'm voting remain, as I like my car being washed, eating fresh fruit, hotel rooms to be clean, offices to be clean, old people being cared for, people in hospital being cared for, supermarket shelves to be stocked, houses being built, factories making stuff.... Interestingly (or not) I have so far this year recruited about 25 Romanians, so unsure if they are getting in before the vote incase they cannot enter if it's leave.
  17. Would it not be better of at least one of those 3/4G full sized pitches was indoor?
  18. Fuck sake Killie.
  19. Exactly my thoughts when I read the BBC article. In fact, Fuck it I went 10.
  20. Didn't create anything after the goal, but that has to be the single most corrupt referee performances I have ever witnessed. You apparently make your own luck, well in that case Taylor cost us with his "I'm a ball playing centre back (without the skill)" FUCK UP. Then again that by the law of averages (according to Billy I can't find clothes to fit me Dodds) that Taylor fuck up cancels out; Caley finishing with 11 players despite Vigurs who had fouls in double figures, Devine's last man Foul on Rooney, one other that I'm sure I'm that wound up I can't think and Draper diving for their penalty and several fouls including..., The second of our stone wallers. Draper body slams Taylor to the ground not even looking at the ball, penalty no question. Our first (correct) claim and their penalty, regardless of Taylor not making contact with Draper for theirs, were identical. All you can ask is consistency give one give the other. Then we have our goal (disallowed) and their goal (allowed). Their goal was correctly allowed Collum does well by going to his assistant after seeing the Caley player jump for, but not make contact with the ball, to establish where/when the offside was. Despite being correct by this poor you have to wonder why he has done this. It's not often the referee questions his assistants decision, if ever... Again having done it once it needed to be done again at our "goal". More than anything else consistency is all, as a fan, you can ask for. Given the obvious inconsistencies tonight and give the consequences of the result the only description Collums performance merits, is corrupt. Will that assessment make the MSM? I doubt it.
  21. When you've got situations like this and the more "high profile" cases of Berahino and possibly Stones how long will it be before we see a footballer challenge the contracts system? I didn't particularly want us to sign Tansey and certainly didn't feel he was worth £200k, nor do I feel any sympathy for millionaire footballers not getting to play for other teams offering to increase their weekly wage by more then the national average yearly wage, but in this day it is an odd system that allows people to be treated as commodities. I'm not saying that it is wrong that clubs protect their investments in players just that if a player was to take this to European Court of Human Rights or whatever we may see a ruling that makes the one Bosman received seem a minor inconvenience. The answer, presumably, is "Release Clauses" with a formula set out by FIFA or whatever may come to replace it.
  22. Missed his penalty in the League Cup final did he nae? So already played an integral part in the Dons winning some silverware.
  23. When I saw the goals from Friday night I though, "that Bogdan is pish and they have a perfectly good keeper on loan at Aberdeen that they can't recall bet that's annoying the fuck out of Klopp..." Wonder what the agreement was and whether we may have received a financial sweetener to allow them to break any non-recall clause?

    Films

    I took my kids to see the New Star Wars and the Peanuts movie before Christmas. New Star Wars amused me as it was original Star Wars rebooted without it having the stigma of being referred to as a reboot. My 10 year old lad enjoyed, my 8 year old daughter wanted to know how long was left after about 1/2 an hour. Peanuts movie I wanted to know how long was left after less than 5 minutes. Got an Amazon Fire stick for Christmas and proceeded to install Kodi and Spintztv (or similar). Then got moaned at for sitting down to watch Creed (as its not a Christmas Movie apparently). I enjoyed it, like star Wars its a reboot in all but name, although I suppose all the Rocky films are in a way. Vince Howard from Friday night Lights was good as Adonis. Nice touch using Andre Ward and Tony Bellew. The fight with Leo Sporino is well choreographed as were the sparring earlier in the film, just a shame the Pretty RiCky Conlon reverted to the traditional Rocky style of constant knock-out punches being landed with unrealistic results. Also watched Hateful 8 was really looking forward to it but finished it a little disappointed. It's a Tarantino film and its a western so it should have been right up my street. I preferred Django. Perhaps if I was American and could buy into the North South divides and racial tensions that simmer just under the surface of everyday American life I may have bought into the characters more, but I'm not so I didn't. I will give it another watch as I sat down to it after driving 600 miles in a day. Oh and I watched Joy the story of the inventor of the magic mop... Odd choice of a story, odd interest from A list actors in taking on roles in the film, odd kind of story telling, very odd family. Oddly enjoyable.
