Your right with GMS though, it was not his night.

Ah well, one thing we agree on.

To a man and woman, all of us on the main stand side of the Merkie chortled when it came over the tannoy that GS was Sponsors MoTM. But I look on Twitter and on here, and folk think he did allright.

Opinions, aresholes etc etc

I think he's slower than a week in Craigie, and far far too ponderous when in possesion.

GMS never got going.

Christie, once again, good game and great vision to pick out Rooney for the winner. McLean, expect more from him

Defence was solid as a rock, but in saying that, Thistle were awful, not helped by missing 6 players tonight.

Onwards to the Hearts game. Will be physical. Not sure if Consi is struggling for that one but I'd expect us to revert to AOC in the midfield cover role, with Arnie and McKenna reunited

I actually thought Stewart deserved MOTM tonight just shading Christie,there were good examples of close control and passing skill from a number of our players tonight plus our new obligatory back heeler attack technique on a night when the loudest noise from the stands was the collective teeth chattering. Thistle strangely still maintained their game plan of time wasting despite being a goal down. Shinnie avoided getting booked and 3 points into the bargain so its not all bad.
Was a tad worried that we may have yet another couple of players out for tarts game but hopefully they will be fit .I get the impression that the team are starting to gel as a unit now so hopefully onwards and upwards.

suggests otherwise...

Hardest skill in football consistently scoring. Rooney does. End of :P.

100%

Every club wants a guy who scored a **** load of goals. We will take years finding another after Rooney.

6 goals in what nearly 18 hours of football suggests otherwise.

Not good enough sorry.

I agree, thought he just shaded it too.

Reckon the Hearts game will be a tough bore fest of a 0-0 draw

Best advert for summer football you can get!

That was f@@king miserable.

Still. 3 points. GTBI.

As Johan Cruyff once said of Filippo Inzaghi "he can't actually play football at all, he's just always in the right position".

But then Milan were brimming with world class talent. Rooney is a luxury we can afford against weaker teams but he's probably not the sort of player we need against Celtic at Parkhead. But as you point out, McInnes has tried to sign a different kind of striker on several occasions whether it's a target an or a tireless worker who plays in the channels and none of those signings have worked out.

We are tight ****ers thats why.

We can afford a better striker.

Get one.

Club has no ambition.

Dm trying different cheap options is just plastering over the fact that Rooney isn't banging them in.

I blame him..the lack of service..dm and the boatd.

Its ****e really.

This x 100

He has limitations, but we have criedrout for this type of player for years.

Now Reynolds and Ball used rather than Harvie and Ross. youngsters thought preferable for der hun at Pittodrie, but not Thistle. I wonder why it's the only game ever he has introduced youngsters and early in the game. you would think he was for the off......normal service resumed. Bring on the championship / league one sackings.
