HoBNob Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Not sure if it came across on TV but Burke can jump ridiculously high, seems to hang aswell, glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Back in Aberdeen after a great trip to Malta. A lively place with a warm, hospitable and welcoming people. Drank and ate well, a lovely heat for the fans.As for the game, a good result given the difficulties Malta caused Italy and Croatia last campaign. Snodgrass was clearly our man of the match, having a great game. Two full backs acquitted themselves well also.Not quite sure what to make of Oliver Burke yet. Direct player but still pretty raw yet. Given Matt Ritchie a lot of stick but two good assists, the first of which was a delicious ball.The only negative is the porous defence as usual. But there are no better options available presently.Good start to the campaign and a real boost to see some fresher blood in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have much of an issue him being involved in squads. Not sure we need him though. Left backs and attacking midfielders are where we don't need to worry.

Didn't he score about 4 in the last campaign? He also had a very good assist rate. Him and Griffiths would start every game in my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Maloney was alright last campaign but there's better players in his position and now Hull have actually got more than 13 players now he won't be playing a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Griffiths pulling out with "a knock". Fucking bullcrap. He couldn't be arsed, nor could Wallace. f**k them. On 02/09/2016 at 19:24, Jamaldo said: Surely you can shake off a knock for one game against fucking Malta? It's the same shit every campaign. You`d think he`d have managed to shake off his knock by now. Obviously can`t be arsed playing against Rangers or Barca either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Barbrady Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Fair enough, i guess it may have been genuine then. Can't blame people for being suspicious these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conley Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Im my opinion Griffiths is desperate to play for Scotland and any suggestion that he feigned injury to miss out on the Malta game in order to rest up for the Old Firm was an insult to the boy. I think it says more about the people making that suggestion than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make that post with the benefit of hindsight but people were right to be suspicious given our history of players pulling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Right to be suspicious but wrong as it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
