I'm not saying that I know more about your movements than you do, but I don't think that's a true statement. In fact, I think I was to look back to march 2018, I'd find evidence that you attended a quarter final at pittodrie featuring the dons and killie?

What are they thinking about? Isn't there a field in the middle of fucking nowhere they can put it?

The problem with Devlin is that he's never been that good at football. Very similar to Reynolds in that regard. Reliable defensively, but not great with the ball. That meant he's been very easy to replace, with Taylor being not much worse as a player but stronger and more aggressive thus looking a better option. I'd move Devlin on swiftly if it meant getting Kennedy in early. We've got 3 options at centre back, 4 if Vyner returns this season. That's enough. What's the deal with hobban? Been a while since we signed an injury prone player. Was just thinking about this earlier, I'm going to stick my neck out and say that Taylor has been our best signing so far this season. Fucking hell. Certainly a toss up between him and Leigh. The only two I'd put straight in to the first eleven.

Fully agree. Even though it was only red TV for me yesterday, I still felt that Anderson's movement was good. Cosgrove was frustrating yesterday. You can see what he's trying to do, get himself in front of the defender and take the challenge. For 85 minutes yesterday, he simply didn't manage to do that, their defender just being quicker and sharper. When he finally got the better of him, he wins the penalty. Hopefully just getting back up to speed after a good few weeks off. Agree with LA regarding the mcgeouch sub. I'd have taken Gallagher on too, allowing him to charge past the front two and make space for others. I don't agree that Ferguson should be coming back in for Anderson though, I really think we need to persist with the two up front for a few games to see if we can get a partnership going. Would give us a great option to change things, which we're seriously lacking. Even more so if Kennedy can come in for McLennan.

Aye, that was fairly turgid at times. The only up-side being that we played with two up front, with Anderson getting in some good positions. Our shooting was atrocious like. 27 attempts, with only 8 on target. Plenty of decent opportunities (especially the corners) that should have been goals. There were only a few times when we really tore through them though with any decent play. Still the same first-touch-negative approach that we're used to seeing, which means we'll always struggle to create. We're relying heavily on being solid and winning games by a goal, which might manage to get you 3rd in the league, but it isn't going to win you a cup. McGeouch looked half decent like. Some tenacity and some decent passing. He looks better than Ojo. I'd have him alongside Ferguson in the next game but ask Ferguson to play higher. If we're going with 2 up front, it's not as important, but still good to have one of the two midfielders providing an extra body in the box.

He's done as you asked with Anderson and Cosgrove starting. He really had to try it, it's a potentially great combination. Anderson looks like he's added a little bulk since last season too, so really needs to be getting more opportunities. Certainly ahead of Main. Looks like a 4-4-2. Should be a decent game, nice day for it.

I didn't even notice Kow's response. Great minds. Well said kow.

The weirdest thing is that Trump playing at soldiers escalated a situation to the point that a passenger flight was blown up, but nobody seems to want to link the two. If I were a Swede or a Canadian with a relative on that flight, I know who I'd be blaming. The Iranians clearly made the error, but it's a fact that it wouldn't have happened if Trump hadn't gone on an illegal assassination mission in a foreign country.

I've no issue with that. He showed against the hun that he has a function in a particular setup and his pace and harassing is a good thing to have in the squad. Not a player I'd like to see starting every week, but is fine coming off the bench chasing things down high up the park. I heard rumours of Main going out on loan. Assuming a team would be stupid enough to take him, that'd be fantastic.

We'd need to employ a new ball-boy too.

Yep, that's who I was going to suggest. He's got a youtube channel seabass that'll give you some tips. 30 seconds in a cold shower is no bother and won't do you any harm. You can always step out if it's too much. You'd have to do it every day for it to actually do you any good I think.

Agreed. The thing about McKenna is that he has the space to raise his game further. You can see it in some games for us when we go behind or he makes a mistake. He focuses and starts moving forward with the ball and seems to increase in confidence in games. If he has more of a challenge in games, he'll step up I reckon. Even in the hun game at home where he had an atrocious first half, he sorted himself out for the remainder of the game and started being more aggressive and more assertive. Assuming big money, I'd be happy with Taylor and Considine until summer. Campbell can cover for Leigh until he's fit, it'll do him some good. That sort of change won't be the difference between us finishing third or fourth. If we can get in some dough to put towards a pay off for Curtis Main, that'd be ideal.

The Miso is class, although I love even instant Miso soup so I'm probably biased. Lot of depth of flavour though as well as a bit of texture with plenty seaweed.

Maybe just send Curtis Main.

I think I heard that ten years ago. We should really petition to change that shit.

Is that correct? I thought that we're now in the swinging 20s?

I think dorrans is a good midfielder with a good workrate. Should be playing SPL. I'd be happy enough with him as a stop gap until summer. If it was a summer window it'd be a terrible signing, but January is a different kettle of fish.

Apologies, I should have said Japanese dishes, not specifically sushi. Although I'd class maki rolls and nigiri as sushi, but I'm not an expert.

My lack of attention to detail meant I missed the flying fish caviar on the menu! Next time. Struggle to disagree on yer assessment though. I suppose it's also a question of how sushi in general compares with other foods. There's certainly nowhere to hide with it, it has to be good or it's shite. I love it like, but would I feel the same if I was a Japanese individual? One of the things that exacerbates the ordinariness of many Scottish restaurants is that they sell consistently British food. I cook a lot of food and am probably more adventurous than most restaurants are (can afford to be) when it comes to ingredients and trying new things (I also make significantly more mistakes of course). Sooshe immediately gets me excited because it's something still new to me and not something I'd ever cook at home. It's rare I get that feeling at a Scottish restaurant. I'd single out Buchanan bistro in Aberdeenshire as one that serves food that I wouldn't have the imagination to do at home, with fantastic ingredients and food story is another that does good things with their fare. I'm sure there are plenty of others like, but I probably set the bar much higher for British food than I do with Asian or other suchlike. If you ken fit I mean.

Just back. Top class like, really good. Possibly the best restaurant in Aberdeen. Very good value too. Will definitely be back.

Yep, I'm not expecting him to. Both are actually worse for AFC than May was. I was actually very surprised to see him leave Anderson on and take Main off today. Definitely the right decision, but not something I expected from McInnes.

Was an exciting second half like. Looked a bit more even when they went down to ten. Felt a bit sorry for Campbell having to play left back, but he did alright in the second half after a pish first. I think full-back is an option for him to give him more game time. Lovely free kick from McGinn, but he totally fucked up the simple pass through for Anderson for a one-on-one 5 minutes later that could have seen us get a victory. Great to hear a cheer when Main came off. Fucking awful footballer. We looked much better without him, despite Wilson also being pap. Draw a fair result in the end and hopefully we'll see a few much needed signings in the window. I'd look to shift on Wilson and Main and get in an actual footballer instead.

Weird line up. Back four the same understandably. Midfield looks like it might be Ferguson or Campbell out wide with Gallagher on the opposite wing. Given both are significantly better in central roles it doesn't bode well. Main retains his place, unsurprisingly, despite being the worst footballer on display on boxing day (possibly in world football). I'm really hoping Anderson is along side him, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him being hung out to dry in a wide role. Anyway, will pass judgement when we can actually see the setup

Aye, you're right. The ref couldn't even book him for his two footed lunge, because he didn't even endanger the ball, never mind the man. It was hilarious. He's been decent since returning to the team though, and McKenna seems happy alongside him too. His passing was a bit ropey at times yesterday, but mostly because the movement in front of him was poor.

Fucking disgraceful footballer. Shouldn't be anywhere near a dons top. Poor game, but two good goals. Especially Anderson's, proper finish.
