Whats the chances of this game going ahead? It's meant to be snowing in beautiful Aberdeen until the 26th and i'm only gonna go to the game if it's on Boxing Day.

Thank fuck for that, off the bottom now! 

 

From what I saw before the stream cut out, we looked decent enough. Even Magennis looked ok, apart from fluffing his one on one with the keeper.

 

Keep up the good work Dons! Lets try and start our season!

Movin' on up! 

Great result, didn't see that one coming.

 

Lets go for it on Wed now against Hamilton

Victory in that would take us six points clear of them even though they would have two games in hand. Defeat on the other hand

Great stuff, and brings Hibs back into the relegation scrap.

 

St Mirren won today but ach well, we did and that's all that matters.

I know it's only one game, and we're still in trouble, but i reckon Hibs may be in bigger trouble than us.

The main thing is commitment was there, they ran, and didn't let their heads go down.

 

Well done to the whole squad and the two auld yins.

 

A great start.

well don boys great result sounds like vernon played well 

A very good, important victory which would be rendered fairly meaningless by losing to Hamilton. Let's hope the boys are plugged-in enough to get 3 points on Wednesday.

 

V happy for now though!

And Magennis, kept the Hibs defence on the hop for the 2nd half.

Best possible start for Brown.

 

COYR.

Indeed, hopefully that will have given them some confidence. I hope they don't just throw away a good start under the new management team.

 

Re:BB I think Jute was saying a while he was chatting to some hibee mates, and they were convinced they were in worse shape than when they went down the last time!

A good result. Caught the Folly goal on ALBA. He did well to get to it. Wednesday is a really key game now and a victory could go a long way to helping get the confidence back up and on track.

 

Does anyone know if McNamee was on the bench today or wasn't he included?

3 points, well done Dons!!  Let's hope this is the shape of things to come!

 

Made my Crimbo!

Not included

Great result.  Sounded like we played pretty well.

Amazing what a bit of organisation at the back can do.

 

Onwards and upwards! 

Not included

Strange one, he was listed as a sub by the tannoy announcer?

 

Excellent performance, we made a lot of good chances in what was a good game in abeit freezing conditions.

 

Thought Hartley and Magennis were outstanding.

Nice one lads. Let's hope it wasn't just new manager syndrome and we can keep it up on Wednesday. Especially as I'm going - my first game of the season 

delighted and lets hope our big players will come onto a game now with some proper coaching and management

Certainly looked like the team was better organised today and each player knew what he was supposed to be doing. It's only the start and hopefully we will push on from this result.

Yes, note of caution, that defence looked as porous as fuck still but we made a lot of chances, Magennis actually looked like a, erm, fitba player

 

Long way to go, Hibs are fucking rid rotten though which was very good to see.

Great result great game. We deserved to win it based on our second half performance. Although the first half was a bit of a non event. All three goals were short range tap ins or scrambles. But we could have scored three or four more. 

 

Thought Hartley, Vernon and Bebo were excellent. First time I've seen Bebo play well on the wing in recent memory. Magennis is a funny one. A big black version of mackie in some ways. Fast and harasses the defence, but nae luck in front of goal. In my opinion he changed the game. We were fantastic from the moment he came on. He provided an excellent outlet down the wing and was able to do something when he got the ball. He missed some great chances. A couple of headers that the keeper did well to save. And a one on one where poor control took him to close to the keeper. He claimed the keeper took him down, but I couldn't tell. 

 

Not sure what brown did different from McGhee. But the players were transformed. I'm convinced the players simply stopped playing for McGhee, if they ever did. Shocking if so.

Could it be that Brown has treated them as men, just like the great Eddie Turnbull did all those years ago.

Quite possibly. I'm no fan of McGhee and can see why the players didn't take to him. But even so. A bit of professional pride. Anyway. Thankfully that's all in the past. Really looking forward to smashing Hamilton now. Assuming it's on.

Worth minding that one of the few decent performances under McGhee was also against Hibs.

I've just read Eddie Turnbull's book, so I'm looking forward to a similar revival. There are some interesting parallels with the current situation. No reason why a similar period of success can't happen again in the same way., although like other teams we will probably be erratic for a while.
