Yep, more or less the same team and formation as last week......2 wins in 10 against these bassa's !!
Never a game for the purist when St.Johnstone visit, i'll take a horrific 1-0 win like last week right now.

EDIT: going for May to score first and us to win 2-1 (30/1)

Shinnie at left back? Or is some weird 352 like against Hearts again.

[Br0chred]

http://i64.tinypic.com/2yzg12q.jpg

Consi injured then?
Good sign these days when, for the most part, you think the bench looks pretty gash O:)

3 at the back then, probably. Weird not seeing Considine in the squad.
Hopefully Rooney and May will click

[eastnuekdon]

Shinnie at left back? Or is some weird 352 like against Hearts again.

I kin this is probably crazy talk but do you think we might actually play o connor beside mclean and go 4-4-2!!!!

That would fool the fermers or any other team because I cannae mind the last time we ever played that formation

[eastnuekdon]

consi nae playing

According to BBC Consi out with a wrist injury.

Stop that sniggering at the back there!!!!!!!

[Hairdrier]

Yass Rooney 1-0

[InversneckieDob]

PARTY!

Anyone hear any whispers about the formation?

It looks like 3 at the back, but Ant or Kari could step up and make it a 4.

Good to score early, that'll pull them out a bit.

[Hairdrier]

2-0 Rooney

[InversneckieDob]

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrty!!!!!!!!!!

[InversneckieDob]

Right, let's give these hammer-throwin' chunts a hiding.

[Pacman1903]

Yaaaaaas min

[xtrmntr75]

Delighted to wake up to this score. Chuffed for Adam. Hopefully that's a wee kick start for him and the team.

A good win if we can consolidate.

[standfreelee]

EASY EASY, solid and ball sticking up front much better. Now with the cushion playing some lovely stuff.
O'C, Shinnie (LB!!!) & May in particular excellent IMO

But Frunkie must be poorest RedTV co-commentator yet - guys trying to draw him into contributing but obvious he doesnt have a clue -
he thinks the away boss is Jim McIntyre :?

aye, playing well. look comfortable. the heed tennis settled after 30 mins. arnason looks nervy as **** with the ball though

Aye Too right put in him the the team fully fit he scores Goals :)

[GlezgaRed]

Delighted with that today, always tough games against St.Johnstone so to put 3 past them is a bonus.
Thats us been top of the table at the international breaks this season so far !!!


Recharge the batteries and get some more understanding for the tough trip to Easter Rd.

[thebeachend]

another 3pts, good stuff!

"He's played well today hasn't he Frank?"
"Oh... definitely..."

"That wouldn't have been a foul in your day Frank? Am I right, hehe?"
"Nope..."

"Are your trousers on fire there Frank? Somebody get a fire extinguisher in here for f**k sake!!! Do you need help?!"
"Aye, they've burned well today the boys."

[February_1971]

Shinnie MOTM, ran at them from the word go.
Considine does his best but shouldn't be anywhere near the starting11.
Cant see it but I would stick with this back 4, with O'Connor just in front and McLean playing between AOC and Christie.
Wide areas are still a concern.

[Landvetter83]

Always good to horse those hammer-throwing hoof-ball khunts.

Happy Days.

Get the beers in !!

[sheepcrooky]

Best we have played so far this season. No coincidence it was when Shinnie plays at left back. O'Connor took the midfield role in his stride. Everyone played well with the possible exception of Stewart.

Equal top of the league, Rooney hat-trick, hammered the farmers and finished with three youngsters on the pitch. Happy days indeed.

I'm away oot to celebrate :) :) :)

Assuming he's fit, I think we know that Considine will almost certainly be back at left back next game.
DM will want Shinnie in midfield in the next two games.
Hibs away with their midfield of Bartley & McGinn are strong.
He'll play O'Connor in front of the back four & Shinnie & McLean will play in front of AOC.
He might play Rooney at 9 with Christie & May either side of him
No width is the problem

[rico94]

Great result and well pleased for Rooney after the stick he has been getting,he is still the best finisher at the club so it's baffling why anyone would want to get rid of him.

Arnason and McKenna were superb today,someone on here said that Arnason was finished and his legs were gone,it looks like you were wrong mate those 2 should be be our centre backs for the rest of the season if they continue like that.

[donsdaft]

aye, playing well. look comfortable. the heed tennis settled after 30 mins. arnason looks nervy as **** with the ball though




Absolute pish

Arnason class from start to finish, one misskick in the second half, a couple of times when he just played the safe easy clearance.

I've had my disagreements with you in the past donsdaft but you are spot on there.

The defence has looked anything but nervy with Arnason in the team,he is the one who is telling them what to do.

[mondo_notion]

Just back..... from the local. Thought O'Connor got the 2nd?

I thought it was important that Derek didn't change our central defence from last time out and was chuffed that he chose not to.

McKenna looks relaxed as hell in there and very rarely puts a foot wrong. A bit more composure from some through on goal and we could have had 5 or 6. The young lad Ross really should have scored but can't blame him for getting a rush of blood to the head. Enjoyed the day today but another reminder that Pittodrie is depressingly quiet.

Set up nicely for a trip down to Leith, I will be purchasing my tickets on Tuesday.

My local pub really needs to find the lost pool balls and fix the f*ckin collapsed ceiling. :mad:

[Aldo1983]

My local pub really needs to find the lost pool balls

What kind of pub is this!?

McKenna looks good for his age and he's pretty solid.
Having Arnason there for him to learn from is a one off opportunity.

[Pacman1903]

Yasssss indeed. Did someone not call this earlier.

Aye hes ****e. Bin him.

McKenna is some unit, huge guy for his age. Didn't put a foot wrong today, alongside the Icelander.

Need to see a lot more from Greg Stewart, he was the only dissapointment today, but hopefully he'll come good

[standfreelee]

brilliant performance. all played well. Delighted with mckenna so far he looks at ease with the ball. yas min!

[Rochead]

Central defence definitely looking more secure with McKenna and Arnason, hopefully the pairing will be permanent.

[KIWIRED]

Great result, though it might have been a harder match, but we where very comfortable


Also like all Dons fans pleased for Adam, hat trick hero. That will boost his confidence no end


Well done Dons

[mondo_notion]

What kind of pub is this!?

Not the kind you want to go to if you fancy poking balls with sticks.

I feel we need to clear up the goal scorers here - Surely O'Connor got the second??

The ball was going in, but Rooney nodded it in from the line, seen it on the TV at RDLS at 1/2 time.

[phuxachemin]

just seen the goals on Sky News.

FFS they are shocking. His first was form a cross by Graham Shinnie, his second was great near postheader and his third according to Sky was due to a foul by Anderson and this was his first hat trick since 2014 :O

The only stat that matters is he has scored 81 goals in 162 games.

Superb and we are never getting a striker who scores a goal every 2nd game so we should enjoy him while he is here.

[Nae Huns]

Aye where are all the chunts that had him off to Hibs then eh?

[stansmith]

Aye where are all the chunts that had him off to Hibs then eh?

This is growing arms and legs.

No one said he wasn't good enough against the likes of St Johnstone.

[Nae Huns]

So who should he sit on the bench for then?

[ragnarok]

Great result and dominant performance from us today. The league cup results seems to have produced a reaction. 6 points from two trickier games when some folk were saying they didn't know where the next win was going to come from.



No one said he wasn't good enough against the likes of St Johnstone.

You mean one of the better sides in the league who have given us a doing on more than one occasion in recent years?

I can understand some of the criticism of Rooney but the fact is that if he's given the service he'll score the goals. He's already scored more goals than Darren Mackie managed in a red shirt FFS!

[Nae Huns]

Yes. The criticism is usually specifically of his ineffectuality against Celtic, Rangers and in Europe.

[Mason89]

Adam Rooney is beyond criticism

Stop it

May probably won't get a tally like that yet folk will still slag off Rooney.

The man has obvious limits and he's often asked to do a job he's physically incapable of being particularly effective at.

Still scored a shed load of goals though, something we haven't had since nine**** can****.

Anyone that goes beyond being constructive with their criticism is a total bellend.

More goals than Duncan Shearer as well after yesterday.

[Landvetter83]

Reflecting on the match yesterday ....

What a huge difference it makes when the defence is solid. Credit to McInnes for fielding that defence and formation at Motherwell last week, and sticking with it today. As others have pointed out, McKenna is some unit. He was very composed. Having O'Connor as a screen in from was very effective and I only noticed a couple of times St Johnstone were able to gain from their usual hoof and pick up of the knock down. The fact St J had zero shots on target and only 4 altogether in the whole game speaks highly of the defence.

Having the defence as solid as that allowed the forward players more freedom. We will improve on this part of the game, but 3 goals against a team that normally strangles the life out of us was a real boost.

Not sure what it would take but if we can keep the boy Christie it would be the best signing in years.

[Landvetter83]

More goals than Duncan Shearer as well after yesterday.

Where is he now in the all-time scoring list. Must be top 10 now? Can think of only McGhee, Jarvie, Hewitt, Yorston and Harper ahead of him. kkong will usually have the answer...

If my link works this time. AFC Heritage site has Rooney at 21st in our all time scorers list. At 81 out of 162 , a nice round 50%. As OG's are officially 4th on the list, I guess he really is 20th. A few more goals and he would jump a few places and some well kent names.

[57vintage]

How ****ing honking was the ****er with the whistle yesterday?

One booking each, with the Masons' plug-in replacement clones up to their usual rule-stretching tricks? Baffling.

I think I saw more of McKenna's skin than his girlfriend has, given the number of times that the **** he was marking had oor boy's shirt halfway up his back on the blind side of the referee, but within sight of the stand-side linesman in the second half.

When it looked like McInnes might have legged it to Sunderland, the calls for Wright to replace him were scary. Although he might be able to do something constructive with better players and resources, would it be worth taking the gamble that he's a hoofball one-trick carthorse?

[andoplzcumbak]

I didn't realise Jess scored that many (94)

[57vintage]

Yes. The criticism is usually specifically of his ineffectuality against Celtic, Rangers and in Europe.

9 goals in 12 European appearances is beyond reproach.

He's only played against Sevco three times and has yet to score.

His record against the other Filth is played 11, plus sub 4 times and has scored 5.

He is beyond criticism. Why he's never been named in a Scotland squad is a mystery to me.

Anybody who thinks otherwise needs their heeds lookit at.

How often did we see Ash Taylor up front? More recently Arnason has had a go at it. We’re not exactly ‘82 Brazil, so we really shouldn’t be looking down our noses at other teams*

Wright is playing to his teams abilities, which is restricted by the amount of cash he can spend on it. It wasn’t that long ago he was manager of the month & he’s won more than McInnes, absolutely rinsing him on the way to doing it.

Tommy Wrights won more manager of the month awards than McInnes?

It cant be trophies you are meaning they have won 1 each, and not that it matters a feck but McInnes has more manager of the month awards than Wright. (DM 6 TW 3).

Tommy Wright has done a fantastic job at St Johnstone but that doesn't mean he is a better manager than McInnes, he has had to work with a smaller budget and all that but I still wouldn't want him as our manager. Once McInnes goes I would hope that we would go for someone like Jack Ross rather than Tommy Wright.

[Mason89]

Scottish Cup > League Cup

I’d take Jack Ross just now but I think we’ve missed the boat there

Walker McCall scored a hat trick at Parkhead didn't he.

[EdmontonDandy]

Billy Williamson...there's a memory. Midweek game against Celtic I think, possibly the most surprising hat-trick scored by an Aberdeen player, aside fae Consi maybe. Also thought Eric Black scored a hat-trick at the Tattiedome, could be wrang though.

Niall McGinn got a hat-trick against Dundee at Dens I think.

Scott Vernon against Falkirk

[redstarfk]

Davie Robb v Motherwell December 1977. One of them was Goal of the Season on Sportscene

Jockey Scott in a 5-1 rout v The Huns at Hampden in the 1976 League Cup Semi

And It's-a-Goal Duncan Shearer got two hatricks in the space of 4 days or so in Nov 1992. First een against Partick when justice was swift and merciless as we humped them 7 nil after the first game was abandoned on the previous Saturday. Then the following Saturday We put 6 past Hearts and Dunc got 3 o them

And Jess got 4 at Dunfermline

[Mason89]

If that list is correct, nobody scored a hat trick for us in the league between September 2001 and August 2010

[Aldo1983]

Possibly my favourite league game that 6-2. Almost certainly best I've seen us play in league.
I remember phoning my dad fae a phonebox in King St to rave about us.

What a team THAT was.

Edit: Just looked up Hearts team. I can picture 10 of that 11. I'd struggle nowadays to name that many outwith us.
Not sure if that's down to my memory or modern fitba itself being sh*t...

1 Henry Smith
2 Alan McLaren
3 Tosh McKinlay
4 Craig Levein
5 Gary Mackay
6 Graeme Hogg
7 John Robertson
8 Derek Ferguson
9 Ian Baird
10 John Millar
11 Neil Berry

That was one of the best league games I've been to as well. They scored two quick goals after the break to make it 2-2 as well.

[Spielführer_1903]

If that list is correct, nobody scored a hat trick for us in the league between September 2001 and August 2010

I would probably agree with the list. Under Paterson...no chance. Under Calderwood - Smith, Lovell, Miller, Nicholson all with doubles I'm sure but no third.

Brutal stat if true...

[Aldo1983]

Under Paterson we should probably have shut up shop and all went our separate ways.

[ragnarok]

Under Paterson we should probably have shut up shop and all went our separate ways.

You mean that David Zdrilic and Leigh Hinds never scored a hat-trick for the Dons?

Without Booth I'm pretty sure we would have been at significant risk of relegation in 2003-2004. We were a Premier League team in name only.
