Magic Roundabout Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 This mirrors my thoughts. For every chance we missed to close the gap on Celtic, Hearts will have had as many chances to close the gap on us. Yet I don't see many critics of Hearts or accusations of them being "bottlers" lacking character. There is a lot of deflection from other fans who, on one hand say they want Anyone but Celtic to win the league, are then quick to sneer and mock Aberdeen's failings. That's all fair banter and keeps the focus away from their own teams short comings. What's less understandable has been how fast many Dons fans are to join in with slating the team. The table does not lie. Aberdeen are behind Celtic and Hearts are behind us, much as expected preseason. Probably the biggest " What if " of the season is had McGee's appointment by Motherwell been in July, given their huge improvement under him, where would they be in the table? Lots to look forward to next term. Logan signing up is a big deal for us, if we can keep our core players and add two or three more in the summer we should be in good shape. A bit more strength in depth and more tactical options. I think we are in for an even more competitive league in 2016/17 and I expect Aberdeen to be right in the mix at the top end. One visit to Jamboskickback would resolve that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 You have to admit that it's not possible for one team to win the league if they're the only club laying a glove on their rivals. Apologies. We're all terribly sorry for Aberdeen being easier to beat than Celtic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 If we had managed to win a couple of games between 29th September and 31st October, we wouldn't need to be greeting so much about other teams helping us out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 You'd be top with Danny Ward in goals imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Ok let's let pedantry get in the way of the fact aberdon is trying to blame the rest of the league for our failures this year. It is shitebag behaviour and totally inaccurate. He may be on the troll but even so it's embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Apparently you lot are close to agreeing PCAs with Michael McGovern and Ziggy Gordon. No idea how legit it is, but its popped up in a few different places now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_14 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 If we sign Ziggy Gordon we should just rehire Steve Paterson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Could understand McGovern (although I'd prefer to give Rogers his chance), but Ziggy Gordon? Nae chance. Firstly, we already have the best right back in the league. Secondly, he's a complete carthorse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt we'd sign Gordon if we've got Logan tied down though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneetrembler Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 No sign of Brown on the bench today, Was he injured or has he been told his time at Aberdeen is at an end? Collin is shite, I can see why Brown has been playing ahead of him. Hopefully Championship Goalkeeper of the Year Danny Rogers makes the step up. McGovern would be good to have as well. A bit of competition and cover for injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneetrembler Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Brown took part in the pre-match warm up and was in goal for the shooting bit so wasn't injured. Cheers, I was in just at kick off and didn't see the pre match stuff. That's him off I would say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Was McGinn taking inspiration from Mark Kerr with his celebration? Looked pointed to me, but perhaps I'm getting the wrong end of the stick. Collin's kicking was poor and he didn't look particularly comfortable at set pieces, but it is just one game and he came with good reviews. He's unlikely to be the answer, although I imagine he'll have another shot at Parkhead next week. That will be a fairer and sterner test of his abilities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a bit of abuse from the South about 5 minutes before he scored and rightly gave some back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
