The boy Costelloe isn’t very good.
I wasn't hugely impressed with him when we played St Johnstone.
Mind you premier league youth players are very hit or miss on loan.

I like Curtis Main who gives defenders no peace, just a shame he isn't a goalscorer
We got 9 goals from him last season but that's his highest in a season. If you get him running around he's a handful.

Curtis Main needs to bring back the bald head maniac look.

Single fares are often a joke- in the Glasgow area returns can be the same price.
When I head up to Aberdeen, the advance fares are usually good value but can be hard to get at short notice. Usually I end up having to buy a bizarre combination of 3 tickets usually Glasgow to Perth then Perth to Montrose and Montrose to Stonehaven to save £10.

Just had the insurance renewal through for the shared car up from £515 to £960, check compare the market and can get it for about £450, looking forward to the phonecall to tell Hastings to go f**k themselves.
The fact you can renew cheaper than what you had is pretty decent. My insurance went up a couple hundred this year and went on the comparison sites to find a better deal only for everything to be more expensive than the renewal.

Not so bad with the late, late show equaliser at Dingwall. Never expected anything but a Dundee win against the ex-famous.
I'd hoped Aberdeen might have been better with Warnock away to the Dunoon RSC

Interesting match tonight Dundee Vs Aberdeen. If dundee loose it, it would give us a 9 point gap, with 4 games left. Would pretty much gaurantee top 6 for us.
Pretty awful set of results so far tonight now with Dundee and Hibs both winning.

Quite the turnover in players from 4 years ago. Actually liked Famewo as a player.

We have 4 very tough games to negotiate to even guarantee a top-6 slot before the split. It's not inconceivable that we could lose all of them. Right now making the top-6 is our next hurdle. If we miss out on top-6 there's going to be a few posters with egg on their faces.
It's fair comment because the 4 games we have are fairly tough. I think that's why the win against Aberdeen was so important. It gives us a 9 point gap to Dundee with 5 games left and a 10 point gap to Motherwell with 4 games left. I think even with a poor bit of form we should get there.

I really can't see Robinson going to Pittodrie after Goodwin. I think they'll look to Europe or English leagues and try to get a name from there.

When we moved one of the things we agreed on was going somewhere that has shops and public transport nearby and not to one of the multiple housing estates in the arse end of places where everything is miles away so you have to drive.
I still have a car which work gives me an allowance for, but costs, particularly insurance is eyewatering this year. If it wasn't for my job, I'd join a car club and be budgeting how many taxis I'd get for the cost of running the car.

I make it 5 games out of 10 since the winter break that we’ve chucked points from a winning position, that’s a pretty alarming stat for me, albeit not quite as alarming as actually watching us try to defend.
To be honest, on Saturday, defensively Aberdeen largely limited our chances. Yes we were a bit wasteful with finishing, hit the bar and post, but 2nd half from 60mins on when you hooked Hoilett and Duk and sat in, it was a nightmare to break down until Devlin gave away the penalty.
Aberdeen frustrated, broke up play, went down at every opportunity. It was streetwise and pretty effective although I don't think you really threatened up top bar the screamer from Barron. The only think I could say was you could probably been a bit better on the counter- Miovski was a pretty lonely figure and had Bolton and Gogic marshalling him and probably needed someone helping him once Duk was hooked.

Aberdeen are in trouble, but even in the last 6 matches Ross County have only gained 2 points on Aberdeen. Ross County's run to the split is pretty hard but if they can beat Aberdeen it really would be game on.

I've seen Aberdeen twice in recent months (once under Robson and once under Warnock) and all I can suggest is that if Miovski gets injured they're phuqed.
His body language yesterday didn't seem great in all honesty and he didn't seem like the Miovski of earlier in the season. The most notable thing he did was clatter Hemming stupidly late. Not sure if it was a one off but it didn't look great.

How the VAR check took so long is bizarre when you saw it on tv. It's well inside and can only assume they checked every bit if play in the preceding 30 secs frame by frame to try to rule it out.
Apparently offside check in the buildup. Had to get lines drawn etc. why they don’t tell media etc this…

Where did this Olusanya come from? That's a few goals he has for you now does he not? How come you never loaned us this one last season? The Olusanya you loaned us did nothing but dive.
I think he's really learned a lot. His play and runs are a lot better. Think he was classic raw player that needed a bit of guidance

Wondering if any Saints fans can give us Dons fans any advice on life in the Championship?
I can't see Aberdeen going down even though results have been awful. However if the worst happens don't fall fo the 'it will be nice to go to different places guff'.
The championship is torture unless you are up the top and winning. We'll end up there again some day.

The St Mirren home support must be the whiniest support in the country, desperate to claim for anything, had a real chip on their shoulder all match
Wait, we've never heard his before? Imagine football fans being biased and claiming anything for their side.
Hope you enjoyed your time in Paisley.

Did Infantino stay until the LATE DRAMA?
Who do you think was checking the penalty? VAR boys gave him a quick ring to get the banter going

To be fair it worked a treat. Helped disrupt us and we couldn't really get into a rhythm. Being serious for a minute they defended really well until Devlin made an arse of it. We ran out of ideas.
Olusanya though, once again changing the game in our favour. This guys cult hero status must be rising week by week.
Oh don't get me wrong, it was working and we were frustrated. Aberdeen parked the bus, dropped and rolled around at every touch, wasted time at goal kicks, kicked the ball away, and it totally disrupted the game. It was Hamilton from the Billy Reid era on steroids.
When they went at 60 mins into a back 5 and they were all in there own half bar brief forays from Miovski, it was a nightmare to break them down and we were failing until Devlin fucked it. It is a bit of a damning indictment of where Aberdeen are that they play like a lower league side looking for a result.
However always delicious schadenfreude when timewasting back fires on a team and I loved Marcus Fraser after the first goal, kicking the ball off the centre spot and annoying the Aberdeen players with some timewasting! They maybe in hindsight should have let him waste more time.

Aberdeen
All that timewasting, diving and rolling about to concede a penalty equaliser and a winner in injury time. Fucking glorious.

Seemed closer but Verstappen by 0.2s. Guy seems to be on another level to the grid.
Perez in 5th will keep the rumours up of his demise with Ricciardo but then I feel Villeneuve is near the mark here

It seems a really close grid in Q1. Alpine's look like shitboxes. Be interested to see if anyone steps up in Q2/3

At the start of that season, we played Brechin and won late on to go top. I wouldn't have said they'd have ended up without a win and on 4 points at the end of the season after that game - it was a tough battle.
Towards the end, they went 8 games without scoring which was pretty brutal.
