  1. Liverpool are a great team but they've had ridiculous luck with VAR. I wonder how much points they've salvaged from decisions going in their favour
  2. Could only listen but apart from the five minutes after red card + equaliser it was all Hearts. Disappointing
  3. We're going to settle for a point here and end up losing
  4. Where would we be without McGinn. Don of the decade
  5. Great goal and it's none other than we deserve. Our performances against the lower teams in the league this season has been appalling
  6. Vyner off injured now with McGinn coming on. Would've fancied McGinn to be brought on at half time to help us get a hold of the ball
  7. Not recommended viewing. We're getting dominated by this Hearts team while showing no composure on the ball whatsoever
  8. Well to be fair the amount of injuries we've had hasn't exactly made that easy
  9. Said after the Livingston game that we should go after Hearts with pace which we appear to be doing. Not a fan of Gallagher but this type of game may suit him. Good options to bring off the bench too. McLennan was rubbish against Livingston. Goals aside which looked like it was going wide before the deflection. ETA - Hedges struggled to have an impact against Livingston and I think is better suited wide than through the middle. With Tynecastle being quite narrow, wider players like him and McGinn can find space harder to come by
  10. Thought the McCoist v Morelos arguement was a bit of a mismatch. A comparison with Novo or Prso, someone of that kind of standing might've been fairer
  11. Could someone not have told Hughes in his wee earpiece that it's the Premiership, not the SPL, ffs....
  12. Chalali was spared purely for that moment. The ensuing chant to the tune of "There's no limit" is one of the best atmospheres at Tannadice I've experienced Wylde was also spared on the basis of neither being spectacularly bad or a huge disappointment (I'm looking at you Greg Stewart) he was just mediocre and doesn't really deserve recognition of any sort
  13. Heard this as well. Cormack taking over and a couple yanks coming across. Stadium plan could also be in the bin
  14. Aye I considered Velicka as well but he didn't really feature enough compared with Josh Walker or Maynard. Any of those 3 deserve a mention
  15. A decade that started with a very real threat of relegation for the Dons, resulting in our worst ever defeat thanks to our worst ever manager. Most of the team could be made up of the crap he assembled alone. I'm going to try and be a bit more creative, however. Although we've had a largely successful decade since McInnes came in, he's also been responsible for a fair bit of dross coming through the door. Going to exclude those who made very little appearances except for the truly terrible ones... GK - David Gonzalez - A few contenders for the No1 position. The Colombian on loan from Man City just nicks it though. The only keeper to have routinely picked the ball out of the net 2-3 times per game, despite Craig Brown claiming he never had a save to make in any one of them! RB - Jerel Ifil - After appearing in a pre-season friendly against Hull City and putting in a performance Franco Baresi would've been proud of. "Sign him up!" was the cry from witnesses to it that day. "Trifle" though, turned out to be absolute dug meat. Even though a CB, I'm putting him at RB due to one particularly awful performance at home against St Mirren. Shunted out wide after no longer being trusted in the middle, he managed to slice a routine punt up the field right to the back of the Main Stand under no pressure at all. Brutal. LB - Clark Robertson - Perhaps a bit harsh because of coming through in a terrible McGhee team, he was just a pretty forgettable player in general that got shipped out eventually by McInnes. Seems to have done alright for himself since. CB - Davide Grassi - I have a wee soft spot for this Italian for reasons that I can't understand myself. But even sentiment can't cloud my vision that he was pish. Notably wore a fetching Aberdeen branded face mask for a few games after fracturing his cheek bone. CB - Alan Tate - The first of a few dud McInnes loanees. Brought in from Swansea to add a bit of experienced cover, it became apparent quickly that this carthorse was ready for the glue factory. RM - Jeffrey Monakana - Jeffrey didn't like to pass, wasn't that quick, skillful or a good crosser. Brought in on loan by McInnes from Brighton. Just a bit rubbish. LM - Greg Stewart - Words cannot describe my loathing for this guy. Absolute charlatan who didn't bother his arse in a red jersey. CM - Gary McDonald - Became un-affectionately known as "Ghost" during his time at Pittodrie due to his tendency to go missing in the games. The fact he went on to become a Scottish Cup winner is a bit sickening. CM - Chris Forrester - We paid somewhere in the region of £200K for this guy. His sole contribution was scoring a penalty in a shootout win against Hibs in the League Cup. That might have been his only touch of the game after coming on in extra time. Perhaps his only touch of the ball as an Aberdeen player. CF - Nick Blackman - Obviously talented but clearly couldn't be bothered playing for us after a prolific loan spell at Motherwell under Brown earlier in the season CF - Miles Storey - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJlhm3Vhchs Subs: GK - Mark Howard - Not fit to be a No.1 at Aberdeen so doesn't make the line up on this either DF - Nikola Vujadinovic - If you want to make a comfortable 2-0 home win against St Mirren a tense affair, send this man on to bullet a diving header into his own goal with his first touch! DF - Zander Diamond - By this point all good will from a promising opening couple seasons had long since evaporated MF - Stephen Hughes - Slow, fat, lazy... the list is endless MF - Chidi Nwakali - Was going put Tansey in here but due to his medical problems that killed his career becoming apparent with us that hampered him. This guy had no excuse. Absolutely pathetic performance in the 3-0 loss to Motherwell in the SC semi final. CF - Calvin Zola - The first attempt at the much desired target man that McInnes craves. Zola was more likely to get sent off than score most games. CF - Nicky Maynard - Just shades it ahead of other candidates. Very disappointing despite having decent pedigree
  16. Dundee should've been out of sight in the first half but weren't. After those chances and the pen, they weren't in it as much. As soon as McGowan came on I reckoned we had a chance. Never seen him be anything other than complete rubbish. Dundee fans seemed to rate him highly for some reason I'll never understand. Wilson and McLennan in particular gave us decent attacking options. Before then we were playing like a team who had just lost 3 games in a row with pretty abject performances. Lacking in confidence and the fans also subdued. A noticable lift from everyone once we scored. Sometimes that's all it takes to turn things around. Hopefully we kick on again from here!
  17. Don't think he played that badly considering it was his first game in pretty brutal conditions. Wouldn't say he did enough discount Logan from playing on Thursday though. So many times in the 2nd half I was wanting Leigh to go for the overlap but maybe he was breathing out his arse by that point. Agree with pretty much everything else you said though. Would like to know how long we can expect to be without Bryson
  18. One of your subs, maybe Mullen? Was lucky not to be sent off after coming on. First challenge was an elbow on Mckenna in the air, second was a late swipe at Gallacher beside the dugouts and then finally only a booking for grappling with Ojo in the middle. Ferguson got a few kicks but nothing out the ordinary that I can remember
  19. Fair play St Mirren. Scored a well worked goal and missed an absolute sitter as well. We didn't start playing until 50 mins which was very disappointing. Could've maybe had a penalty but difficult to tell where I was. Is Mackenzie a rugby player? Not suggesting he's a clogger, just wears his shorts like one
  20. Not a Logan hater but if Vyner performs well today he should start on Thursday. Logan shouldn't be reprieved for his potentially costly error
