Only result this weekend has to be a solid win and a clean sheet. We couldn't do it there last season, so this is one of many things McGhee has to get to right.

 

Langfield

Mulgrew Zander BEEEEEEAAAAAAAST Foster

Aluko Kerr McDonald Maguire

Miller Paton

 

Maguire or Aluko pushing forward to form a front three when necessary?

 

Hamilton 0-3 Aberdeen

 

Lets get our season started.

 

From what I am hearing on Red TV Both are playing well. Crawford went off shattered in the 2nd half but Fyvie still on with 5 mins or so to go.

Zander who?

fyvie got sportsound man of the match.

 

He was really good, very composed, full of running and a good passer of the ball. Jimmy wrecked our youth policy

Boring! He did very little with it though padders and that's a fact. It's about time you realised he's gone and looked to the future and stopped harping back to things he did or didn't do.

 

 

WE WON AT LAST 

 

p.s. dont give blood and drink kids

MMIG?

It wasn't his job though, to "do anything with it", the players weren't good enough and now they're gone. Time you got over that.

 

Fucking excellent to ream those cunts though probably a good time to get them though you still have to get it done.

 

Tremendous news that a couple of youngsters got their starts, especially Fyvie, been hearing such good reports about this guy for a long time. Apparently Miller looked interested too. Jesus!

Clean sheet, 3 goals, youngsters impressing?!

 

Anyone would think that a tiny smidgin of optimism & good cheer is among the Donstalk faithful tonight!

Nothing wrong with that.

 

By all accounts Hamilton were a Jakki Brambles though so may not quite time to get the champers out but plenty to be happy about.

 

Seems a very good shout by McGhee to have played the young fellas against a pretty weak Hamilton team, though he would have got fucking pelters had we got leathered!! 

I've seen the future today........

 

Nothing else to say

And despite what they may have said on the hat for the last fuck knows how long, it IS orange?

 

Padre quote "Ginger Maradona"

 

McGhee lauds teen debutant Fivey

Aberdeen midfielder Fraser Fyvie

Fyvie put in an accomplished performance in midfield

 

Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee was full of praise for 16-year-old debutant Fraser Fyvie following the Dons' 3-0 win over Hamilton Accies.

 

Fyvie played the whole game at New Douglas Park and fellow midfield teenager Jonathan Crawford also played.

 

"I thought they both did terrific," McGhee told BBC Scotland.

 

"Young Fivey kept going and was terrific, even at the end, mopping things up and playing simple passes. He will get great confidence from that."

 

Crawford did not complete the game, with the 19-year-old suffering from cramp.

 

My first observation would be that we worked harder from the start of the game

 

Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee

 

"Jonathan eventually succumbed to a bit of cramp and we thought, rather than keeping him going till he makes a mistake and cost us something and embarrasses him, we took him off," said McGhee.

 

"He did a good, good shift and we weren't disappointed in him."

 

The victory was the Dons' first of the season after back-to-back defeats to Sigma Olomouc in the Europa League and an opening-day league loss to Celtic.

 

"My first observation would be that we worked harder from the start of the game," McGhee said.

 

"We established ourselves well in the game in terms of our shape and our work ethic was good - it was better.

 

"The three goals were good. Scoring goals and keeping clean sheets and getting three points is great for us at this stage."

 

positive article, Ignoring the terrible journalism from the bbc obviously!

They said on the radio Fyvie went to Hazlehead Academy.  Pity he's not from Fyvie, that would have been cool.

 

Credit to McGhee for getting Duff out of our back line.  He could have saved himself a bit of trouble if he'd only realised that at half time in the Sigma home game, but we got there eventually.

 

Well done to all concerned today, what a fucking difference a week makes. 

Was really impressed by our young lads today.

 

Although an SPL player I know says he doesn't rate Crawford so much.

Credibility really depends on who that SPL player is. If it's someone like Mackie, I'd pass that up as "that fucker's gonna take our god-given places in the team. Let's bring them down a notch"

I thought despite the scoreline they still played fairly poorly, the passing was terrible and for some reason we didn't close down their midfield at all. Play like that against a team with any real ability and we'll be in trouble. On a side note though, how fucking pleased was Considine when scored? He looked like he was going to vault the barrier and run into the stand to celebrate with everyone.

No, defender for another SPL team.

 

Played against Crawford in youth and reserve games over the years.

Well, can you honestly say you could have seen Calderwood doing what McGhee done yesterday?  I can honestly say Fyvie or Crawford would not have been on the pitch at any point.

 

I loved the game yesterday, first time in a year I can honestly say I enjoyed a game.

And he's reeling in a big one here....

Not atall, I know what Padders was getting at, look at all those youth players that came through under Jimmy, fucking team full, eh?

SPL goals away to be shown on Sky Sports News if you are still to see them or if like me to see them again

They said they were away to show them earlier but only showed Celtic.

 

Everyone should just watch the game on Alba so they can see me.

Yawn.

Indeed.

I'll ignore the mince in your other post, but I think you are pretty harsh here. Yesterday was a massive improvement on what I have seen over the last year (only 5th SPL win in 2009!).  Passing wasn't perfect but it was pretty good and I thought we looked quite comfortable on the ball.  Also good to see players actually having a pop at goal more often. I think we had more shots on goal in the first 10mins than I've seen us have in entire matches.

 

Of course a better side would have posed us more problems but this is a side who we struggled, and failed, against last year and to win any game in the SPL so comfortably is both a novelty and impressive.

 

Heard Fyvie got MotM on the BBC and he certainly was impressive. Scary to think the lad is only 16yrs old as he looked very assured and certainly didn't shy away from getting stuck in when need be. Will be interesting to see how and when MM uses him when we have a fully fit squad but I'd suggest if he can put on a display like that most weeks then McDonald may be a bit nervous about his place.

 

Also thought Crawford looked very comfortable, although to be fair he wasn't faced with too much. It certainly made a dfference having a RB at RB.

 

MotM for me however had to be Mulgrew. Stunning goal and 2 assists. Even his defending was fairly competent for most the match.

 

Good to finally get that first win of the season and hopefully the squad takes some confidence from this into the next few games which are all very winnable. And even better that the youth system appears to be finally bearing fruit.  Correct me if I'm wrong but Willie brought in Lenny Taylor 5yrs ago and the pair of them have completely rejigged our youth set up.  These things obviously take time but hopefully this is just a sign of things to come.
