Excellent loan destination for any youngster with wayward tendencies. Recall spending a couple of nights there on a layover to the US (come back to ABZ Icelandair !). It seemed every Reykjavik suburb and village further afield had a giant blancmange style full-size indoor football facility. This in a country with a similar population to Aberdeen and its hinterland. I think we only have 3 or 4 of these equivalent facilities in the whole of Scotland. Also, have this on loan from someone who played in our first ever Euro away match (having scored in the home leg).

naegoodinthedark Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I just assumed “Duk” was Portuguese for “*** Slayer”. I'm seldom wrong with these things. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Icelandic government funnelled huge amounts of money into small-town sports facilities - both to produce more elite players and for the community and public health benefits. I think they massively overperform in handball as well, relative to population?

coprolite Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 There's a decent short film on Iceland's facilities that was on A view from the terrace. I'd post a link but i've already seen it and can't be arsed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I see your Funso Ojo is denying paggering a specky DAB outside tannadice. Was this after the game where he got shite off the boy during the match as well? Personally I think assaulting dabs should be like punching nazis, everyone wants to do it so it's not really a crime. I'll be front and centre at Dundee Sheriff with a sign saying "Funso can I have your cuffs?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazelle83 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Not convinced about Richardson , great athletic not much of a player. Scales - strolling it. Stewart - big upgrade on Gallagher. Ramadani - more to his game than Ferguson, need to seem him against better opposition. Duk - Goodwin said not to get carried away, not happening, guy is quality! Really looking forward to seeing Miovski. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is currently weak in the full back areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 This was my first time watching us in person this season. It is difficult to draw too many conclusions given the level of opposition and being 5-0 up at half-time essentially rendering the second half a glorified training exercise, but good to have a look at the new players. Scales and Stewart, although not really tested, were both very good at what was asked of them. Both seem to be good at the fundamentals, which we were missing hugely last season, and Scales is clearly a more than capable footballer. Ramadani looks good on the ball, especially when he is given time, but occasionally turned a bit too easily for my liking. Richardson is extremely raw. Clearly a good burst of pace on him, and capable of getting up and down, but very much a work in progress. Will be interested to see how he copes if we go into the season with him as our right-back. Pretty much the same applies to Hancock on the other side. Duk is going to be... interesting. Entertaining, but very, very raw. Some touches he wouldn't have got away with against top-flight opposition. Hayes MOTM for me, followed by Scales and Besuijen. Shout to Kennedy for that free-kick too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
