  1. On bus heading back to Aberdeen. When the first goal went in I was fearing a cricket score but thought we did okay without really threatening Celtic will dish out a few hammerings to teams at Celtic Park this season. Their movement is particularly impressive. Our season starts properly in the next fortnight when St Mirren and Motherwell visit Pittodrie. We need to be picking up 6 points in these 2 games.
  2. Been a season ticket holder for over 30 years and been going home and away weekly since 2000 so yes I know what sloppy is. Scales won't be playing, McCrorie will have to move from midfield while Richardson and Hancock are young and inexperienced so forgive me if I'm worried that Jota, Maeda, Hatate and Giakoumakis have a field day against our defence.
  3. Agreed. We were immensely sloppy at times defensively today. We got away with it against Raith but Celtic will punish such slackness time and again.
  4. You really don't want McLennan do you? Things can't be that bad at Cove?
  5. That's a good result against a team that beat Hibs last midweek.
  6. Scales is the only one of the back 4 I trust. Stewart was beaten a couple of times for pace tonight and I don't rate either of our full backs. Think we need to improve before we face Raith Rovers a week on Sunday.
  7. Scales looks a good player. Stewart is very slow and got beaten for pace a couple of times tonight. Don't rate Richardson or Hancock at all and can see Jota, Furuhashi and Giakoumakis tearing us to shreds in a few weeks.
  8. Goodwin says he wants a striker, winger, number 10 and possibly another midfielder to take his signings to 10.
  9. Expecting at least a 3 goal win today. Don't let me down Dons.
  10. If that was during the covid lockdown then no I wouldn't have seen it as I only paid to watch our home games online.
  11. Brechin were horrendously bad but I liked the way we tried to keep the ball on the deck apart from the wayward shooting of Dante Polvara who twice fired a shot out of the stadium. Tonight was probably the first time I can remember seeing a headed goal by Jonny Hayes. Mason Hancock did fine at left back and Anthony Stewart as captain was unexpected.
  12. Must say I didn't expect us to be bringing in 2 current international capped players this summer and certainly wouldn't have expected them to have been an Albanian and a North Macedonian!!!
  13. Jamie Vardy was playing non-league football when he signed for Leicester. I'm not for a minute suggesting Richardson is anywhere near that standard but good players can be found at low levels.
  14. Very much out of nowhere. Wonder if Scott McKenna put a good word about the Dons to Jayden?
  15. Not necessarily but I reckon getting a work permit for him will be a big problem as he ain't an international so I reckon we will look elsewhere
  16. The "exciting" defender is Liam Scales. Carl Starfelt got a bad injury for Sweden last week so Celtic may decide to keep Scales now.
  17. I think the club thinks they can get past Peterhead, Dumbarton, Stirling Albion and Raith Rovers with the squad they have.
  18. Sam Cosgrove had scored ONE goal for Carlisle when he signed for us.
  19. Looking forward to all the terrible pronunciations of our foreign players at the away grounds this season
