Plus, if he hadn't accidentally handled tonight the ball would almost certainly have gone in the net. 'scored more goals than penalties conceded' is not the win you think it is. I can think of three off the top of my head. There's also the Hibs one he was lucky not to concede. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'scored more goals than penalties conceded' was more to emphasise my opinion that he is no clown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy came through the youth system and absolutely maximised his potential. This was after suffering some awful injuries. Most were in agreement that he would be good enough to be back up at best in a good Aberdeen team. Devlin and Sokler are the glaring weak links at the moment.

scoobles Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 53 minutes ago, Sonam said: The problem with Aberdeen as a city, is you have a good percentage of the population wealthy. Some VERY wealthy. Even now, though the oil industry is dying. Yet at the same time, there are areas in that city that suffer from extreme poverty. I think it's some of the worst poverty in Scotland, I used to teach there, know the tough neighbourhoods. The poverty is shocking actually, can't all be blamed on Thatcher either. I ain't an SNP fan either, don't like any political party at the moment. I sit on the fence I guess. The city council & politicians over the years, decades really bled the city dry. Many should be locked up IMO! Considering the boom years of oil, it should be a stunning city with excellent services with little poverty if any at all. Decades of serious corruption, terrible decisions at best/blatent theft at worst. Look at other countries oil rich capitals outside 3rd world. Even cities like Dundee have improved, it's a real shame.... This oil money you speak of, it didn't come to Aberdeen. High wages and high house prices did. The council got nothing from the oil money barring abandoned buildings. Aberdeen was perceived to be rich and got next to nothing of extra funding from Scottish or UK governments. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of those ridiculous ones that VAR/Scottish referees were giving last season but were being penalised in virtually no other leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A significant minority are violent, racist bigots. That said, surely we can’t be begrudging a pitch invasion for a 98th min winner away from home? Away for a lie down you absolute fanny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you Sokler, but, in my opinion, Devlin is nowhere near a glaring weak link. Just to use today as an example, without him we possibly lose that game. He stops an almost certain goal, and then has a great run with the ball, despite being fouled, and lays the ball off to Morris to set up the goal. Some people will laugh at me, you certainly, but I like Devlin. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbrush1903 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 3 hours ago, Sonam said: Even now, though the oil industry is dying. The Oil and Gas Industry is being sabotaged by a Government that only 33.7% of the country actually voted for, less than who voted for Jeremy Corbyn, who himself was a victim of a vindictive campaign by the current Prime Minister to label him antisemitic. Meanwhile, that gormless twat Milliband, who 30% of the country voted for in 2015, who doesn't seem to understand that if we shutdown our own Oil and Gas Industry, we're still going to need to import Oil and Gas. Yet content to press ahead to make thousands of people redundant, and many more indirectly reliant on the Oil and Gas Industry struggle. And this is supposed to a political party for the working classes. Anyway, great three points today and lets keep this going against Motherwell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 i thought Ross county were very good yesterday and made life really difficult for us. Their shape and press was forcing us to go direct far too often I thought then even when we did get the ball up the park we were too slow. I think games like last night are a good reminder of why winning runs like this are so rare. That could so easily have gone the other way and on another day this season it probably will. what I would say though is that the relative solidity we have through the middle of the pitch now from keeper to centre halves to nilssen/shinnie means we look less prone to arse collapse, which gives us a better chance of pulling out moments like the one at the end. I think there’s still some question marks at the top end of the pitch. Sokler won’t be a starter much longer, and I could see vinnie replacing gueye from the start soon too. Also pleased for morris, whose criticism often goes way over the top. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
