I think we've got to trust the prawcess. If we compare Morris to Boyle then Morris is nine years younger with, hopefully, potential. I know nothing about Morris so I'll place my trust in Mowbray and the team that this guy is the real deal and we might have a good player for 3 or 4 seasons before selling him on for a whacking big profit. Boyle we might only get a year or two out of, no sell-on potential and could well slow as he reaches his 30s, and costs a fortune in wages. Let Hibs buy up all the has-beens like McGeady, Marshall and Boyle.

All players are passive apart from those in the immediate area where the ball arrives. I''m not overly concerned about sticking a player on the near post as you usually have a host of players attempting either the flick-on or defending the potential flick-on. Also the keeper should have his near post covered. However, I would always have a player on the far post. This gives the attacking player less area to hit and the keeper can't possibly cover the whole goal from such close range. I haven't seen Welsh's goal or the Union goal last night. Were they scored at the far post from where the corner was taken? Did this study measure the likelihood of conceding when you put a defender only on the far post?

It's Angry Anderson.

Why? He's mainstream and did Jools Holland about 20 years ago

I only watched the last five minutes of the first-half and the whole second-half but I was pleasantly surprised by both Richardson and Coulson. Roberts we saw very little of but there was one moment when he played in Richardson or Hayes on the right hand side. Although, it was almost impossible to make any judgement on the forward players given their lack of service due to our approach to the game. Duk definitely needs to lose a few pounds though. Stewart was good at defending on most occasions aside from when he was clumsy and tripped over his own teammate and into their attacking player which could've been penalised. However, Stewart needs to be careful with those low central passes to feet from defence to midfield. I fear we're going to get caught because players are going to come savvy to that soon enough.

My sources reliably inform me that it's Andy Roxburgh's if he wants it...

We made it difficult for ourselves, we gifted them a goal start, and aside from a ten minute spell before half-time, where we looked good, we sat far too deep and invited the pressure onto ourselves. However, given that it's a new team then fair enough but we were playing our 5th competitive match of the season compared to opponents who were playing their first. If Celtic had been match sharp then putting in a display like that could've easily earned us a 5-0, 6-0 or 7-0 humiliation. Goodwin and the team will get a pass today because it's early doors for the new players but playing like that in Glasgow just won't cut it for the fans (including myself) going forward. It's just the same old pap we've been subjected to for years. Push the defence up higher and get the midfield congested instead of giving their players an opportunity to showboat.

They come from an unsound source....the voices in my head

Does anyone know the first 'Tifo' that occurred in Scottish football? I personally find them a tedious modern-day phenomenon made for the mobile phone generation who would rather capture an atmosphere than create one. And environmentally wasteful...

Certainly an attractive chassis on her although presumably that was a few years. I once took a bus trip up through Mexico and can testify to the attractiveness of many of their female population. Was From Dusk till Dawn a film or is it what we're supposed to be thinking sexually as we view her scantily clad bouncy walk?

I'm concerned that I had never heard of Salma Hayek. I suppose it's being a bit out of touch with modern mainstream culture but she's nine years older than me according to Wikipedia!! What did she become famous for? Is it just her beauty or did one of her roles make her common knowledge? In fact, out of Hayek, O'Brien and Little, it's only the latter that I'm familiar with...

I've heard rumours that Barry Robson is on the shortlist.

Rangers are dead Mr Jones but Tweedledum and Tweedledee are more than welcome to f@ck off and ring-fence themselves into Guffball. In fact, I wish they'd do one and take their 'worldwide' brands to Timbuktu or Outer Mongolia. Joey Jones shouldn't have been throwing his arms up in the air uncontrollably in the penalty area. And I still haven't forgiven Peter Nicholas for missing that pen in the 1987 Skol Cup Final.

Ifil is the worst I've seen in an Aberdeen shirt who played for a sustained period. His personal nadir was the Scottish Cup replay defeat against Raith Rovers. I'm not sure if he played in the 0-9. I think I only saw Dave Bus once at Fir Park. I don't remember him being on the Ifil scale of shiteness but he was bussed in and bussed oot...

Our defensive strength is concerning. I expect us to score at least once and to create but whether it will be enough for us to take points back up the road will depend on our defensive capabilities.

He scored the quickest hat-trick in English football when playing for Notts County against Sheffield Wednesday, recorded, I think, in 2 minutes and 15 seconds. Classic St Mirren strip. They were wearing that when I went to my first game on March 3rd 1984 at Pittodrie.

That book was a great read. I'll need to read it again.

Ideally, the standard of the opposition would be gradually increasing to acclimatise the new guys but unfortunately we're not going to get that luxury. We can hope that our competitive action might make us a little sharper. The defensive situation for next week is concerning. It looks like it will be Roos-Hancock-Richardson-McCrorie-Stewart. Scales looks to be a big miss already. Nevertheless, the League Cup group stages couldn't have went much better for us so a good performance in Glasgow would make for a solid start.

Good point, I forgot he was a Cape Verde cap. Samuel Quina was actually born in Guinea-Bissau but was a Portuguese cap. His son, Domingos Quina, plays for Watford and was formerly with West Ham United. Maybe we could attract him to the club citing the family connection, although I'd imagine Samuel is trying to forget about his one solitary appearance in an Aberdeen shirt.

Who was the last Portuguese player before Duk to play for Aberdeen? I feel like I'm forgetting about someone but on the 30th July 1996 we played Olympiakos of Piraeus in a pre-season friendly and ex-Benfica player Samuel Quina, who had played for Benfica six years previously in the 1990 European Cup Final, turned out in central defence for the Dons. We lost 6-0 and he was never seen again in a Dons shirt.

Ayr United

I list your away results from Sevco's two European campaigns last season and you think that's displaying signs of anger? It's not me that marches about like an idiot on July 12th trying to wind people up, or me that sings about being up to my knees in someone's blood and relishing the fact, or me that sings about terrorist organisations. All I did was list your crappy scores. That made me happy and carefree not angry my friend. Who is that on your avatar please? I think he looks angry and bitter in a masonic kind of way...

Good grief No it ain't when it's this particular 'Scottish' team. But if you think it's fantastic then I'll leave you to it...

...No chance of that, the final was never getting played at Snake Mountain! Massacred in Malmö Bore draw in Alashkert Defeated in Prague Draw against Brondby Draw against an already qualified Lyon Beaten in Belgrade Beaten in Braga Losers in Leipzig Slaughtered in Seville The only win was in 75% empty Westfalenstadion due to Covid restrictions. And we know how much the Bully Boys excel in empty stadia. "Fantastic" eh @TheScarf? Are you "having that"?

I'll even play the silly game that you lot play (and ICT, Killie and Hearts fans seemingly play too) and pretend that Oldco and Sevco are the same club and it still only adds up to one pishy European trophy. Even your non-rivals Aberdeen have two. So you can beat little Braga all you want and pretend it's a great achievement, even though you have about five times their resources, or a shitey franchise that nobody likes such as Red Bull Leipzig, but it still amounts to the same...One pishy European trophy between both your clubs... You can only win trophies when the refs are either cheating or scared.
