Dundee United v Aberdeen

[The.Moog]

The better of two poor teams, but we didn’t really do enough to deserve the win if we’re honest.

You can’t miss an open goal though ffs. Nisbet was good, but that was horrific.

Defence not too bad overall though still a few unnecessary scares. Molloy did well at LB tbf.

Shinnie was excellent in the middle, broke up play and won loads of second balls, Cameron busy but pretty ineffective and Geiger was anonymous.

Bilalovic was absolutely done with at least 20 minutes left, and he was playing shite anyway so why he wasn’t subbed is mystifying.

Still, its a point at a ground we’ve struggled in recent years (where haven’t we mind) so take that as a positive and move on I guess…

Geiger was anonymous my arse.

Aye. At this rate, Willie Garner will have to discard the suit, and resume his stopper act. Just don’t do what you did in your debut for the Timbastards, Willie, and score two own goals. 

Here you are, copied from Wikipedia. “Garner left Aberdeen in 1981 to join Celtic, but the move was a disappointment for all concerned: he only played two first team games, scored two own goals on his debut and fell behind the emerging David Moyes in the backup list.”

Every time I bump into him, I remind him of his finest hour, the 1988-89 Highland League Cup final replay v the Masons at Boroughbriggs, where he was Keith’s player manager. A Tuesday night game after a draw the previous Saturday, a mental drive from Altens to Elgin for a 7.30 KO. Keith 3-0 ahead, and the Masons scored twice in the last ten minutes, but the Maroon heroes held on. 
Keith had had a journalistic drubbing from David Love, an Inverness journalist, and at the end they gathered en masse in front of the main stand and cunted and wankered and bastarded loudly at the cunting wanky bastard. Garner then came across to them and said, “Aye, you’ve made your point boys, now go and applaud the runners-up getting their medals”.

Was never the same after Marek Dimitrov.

He was never the same after Alex McLeish made the CH gig his own. I was a guest on a podcast with him, and he admitted that he missed THAT league win at Easter Road as he was playing for the reserves at Pittodrie.

Because he wasn't the same after the leg break.

I would have taken a draw before a ball was kicked.

A point away from home. A clean sheet and no red card.

Got to take the positives where we can find them.

I don't think Molloy is as bad as many make out.

Tynecastle on Saturday and Tims up here next Wednesday night

6 points from those two games and we're right back in the mix for top six.

Nae exactly the season we expected, when we lifted the cup 9 months ago today.
