It may be time to take Ryan Fraser out of the firing line  By Charlie Allan

 

ABERDEEN FC boss Craig Brown today admitted it’s time to save Ryan Fraser from being “battered” by Scottish football’s boot boys.

Referees have now dished out a shocking 16 yellow cards and one red so far for fouls committed on the teenager in the 13 games he has featured in this season.

Brown confirmed there is a fair chance the 18-year-old could find himself kept in reserve in the coming weeks for Aberdeen FC – even when he is fully fit.

Aye because there are never any fouls in reserve football

Not since the reserve league was scrapped anyway.

kept in reserve

Not kept in THE reserves. I read this to mean he'll be coming off the bench more rather than starting.

Bloody shame. He's the one everybody is wanting to see. He's puting bums on seats. He needs first team football to keep him at Pittodrie.

Jeezo sometimes you boys dinna get it!!

 

This has nothing to do with keeping Ryan on the bench but all to do with putting pressure on Referee's to sort oot the boot boys!

With the exception of Maybury staying on the park instead of getting sent off I think the refs have done ok? The number of bookings speaks for itself.

Nowhere near lennonesque enough for that!
