I went a few weeks back, brilliant exhibition! You'll enjoy it.

Two things are certain, that back line needs to play and Rooney needs to be up top. I'd agree with Smith although i'm not sure what his current form is for the u-20's. Jack should provide some solidity though his form has been suspect of late as well. I just want McGee to be greetin, because that means we would have done our job and won.

Commons' reaction to being subbed is hilarious. Let's hope it's the start of some discontent in their camp

Nice initiative from the club, hopefully it'll attract a few more through the gate despite the current slip in form. Although i'd imagine there would be more turning up on the day if it were a cash gate...

Glad to see one of the Dons teams has got back to winning ways, u-20's with a 3-0 win against Partick Thistle. PL, you make it along to it this week?

I don't know enough about it to be honest, but something I intend to learn more about. Though I would agree about your last sentence, that much is clear. I know we always joke (I certainly do to my german friend - and even they agree) that it's just a more acceptable way of them taking over Europe. That doesn't really bother me though. I don't think it would really bother me if we were in or out of the EU.

Some result by arsenal given bayerns form of late. How that official made that call is beyond me, even Ian Wright said he must have made a guess. Highly unlikely he saw it!

Not sure where you're getting your optimism from but please pass it on to the team! Really hope we get back to winning ways, I don't care how, but we need to arrest this collapse in form. The team are capable of putting another run together, but need to get back to doing the basics as you say. Also, I want to make sure Magoo is crying into his potato salad. Cunt. Out hungover town or listening online hopefully celebrating 2-2, Rooney and Quinn All this said, it all depends on how DM lines up our back line. If he's sensible and plays the best 4 available, we should be ok.

I'd agree. I see the report has confirmed that he was wrong but he is still a world class referee.

Where are you seeing this For me, it's anyone but the Aussies. I would hate having to hear them bleat on about it. Horrible sporting nation.

I honestly thought we were going to do it, we have a good record against them so was reasonably confident. Never thought it would be the gubbing all said it would be. Then when the rain gods even tried to help us along I could see it happening. Anyway, I agree, argies were very good today, and an NZ - Argie final would be very entertaining.

Referee spoiled it today. How he never went to tmo for that final decision is beyond me. Not convinced by the Maitland sin bin either. But fuck me, the Scotland football team have a lot to learn from the rugby team. Such passion and desire, they play as a brave unit. Good times are ahead for this team. What a performance

Another brilliant game at the millennium stadium. Sounds like an electric atmosphere too. My housemate predicted Argentina as dark horses for the final before the world cup started, could well be right. Here's hoping Scotland can do something against the convicts...

Arabs one down to Hearts, lost 17/25 games!

There is some truth in rockets rant in the other thread so I'll stick to this game only. Derek is a fantastic manager but last night's team was bizarre and unbalanced. It summed it up when ward was taking a gk and the whole team were on the left hand side of the pitch. It was the wrong team. We needed play our best available team to build confidence. Logan and Rooney should have started. I remember the last blip we had and that was again down to poor selection and substitutions. He needs to get back to basics. I doubt the press had much to do with it, it was confidence and luck. As I said earlier, we could have got something there. Flood and Goodwillie were awful. Reynolds not ready and consi back to his bombscare self. Terrible, terrible defending. Globe Reds 5-aside team could have done better.

I was probably being overly critical, but I would say there was a lack or urgency at set pieces (when we had them). Our deliveries improved but not one player attacked them. Oddly enough, we could have draw if not won that game had McGinn / Rooney / Logan been more fortunate. Confidence is Definitely an issue and the changes point is a very valid one. We changed system 3 times tonight and it didn't do a thing. One thing we need to do is play our best Defenders from the start. They were a complete shambles tonight.

Well county definitely deserve this, but we have been awful. First time we've lost four on the bounce since 2011.... Not fucking happy. Not happy at all. What.the fuck has happened to.this team? No desire, awareness or passion.

McGinn unlucky there but it's the only thing we've created. Haven't attacked a single cross that's come in and second to everything.

Awful defending. Again.

And there you have it. We've managed to make.that hun cunt look like messi. Awful defending.

Decent start, just need to make the possession count. Think we look very vulnerable at the back though.

Aberdeen: Ward, Shinnie, Considine, Taylor, Reynolds, McLean, Flood, McGinn, Hayes, Goodwillie, Quinn

Loved his statement yesterday "this is my club" GIRFUY weegie press. Fuck if i'm ever using Ladbrokes again.

Further fixture changes: Great for me, but a bit shit for those travelling, especially for the farts game.

Made it all the sweeter when we beat the cunts
