St Midden Match thread and all that sh1te

[blowupsheep]

Match day again.
In / Oot - As per norm for me.
Furryboots - ma hoose (red tv int)
Pre - Grafting
Post - straight to ma scratcher.

Prediction - It's a wee while since I had such a confident feeling heading into a match, going for a very comfortable 3 or 4 nil to the good guys, Ferguson and Brown both on the scoresheet with one each and with one or a double from Ramirez.

Prediction - aDons win

[Br0chred]

In / Oot - Oot as usual.
Furryboots - Hoose
Pre - Red TV but probably switching to BBC when I get fed up of Rob McLean
Post - Work night but might stretch to beer/red wine
Prediction - Bit worried about this as there has been too much positivity over the past week which usually ends up with a boot in the baas. The guy we aren't signing will probably stand out grrr

[Bisconti's balls]

This is a massive must win match! I feel we will need to score early!

Aye, like the thumb the other week, a McGrath goal is a near certainty tonight - so we need two.

Another game we should win, but will we, fuuck knows.

Play like the Sevco game should be fine tbf…

[57vintage]

“It should be an eventful game in Paisley with Jim Goodwin and Steve Clarke going head-to-head” says footballscotland. Cripes.

Campbell in for Hayes is only change I can see. Jack Milne gets a place on the bench alongside Connor Barron.

Only 8 on the bench. Hayes not featuring at all.

McGrath starts for St. Mirren

[Br0chred]

BitB is Grant Irvine. Never good when it's someone you don't know anything about, away from home, always the potential for a homer and particularly against us. After the hun complaint we'll get nothing

Funnily enough I always think the opposite about these rookie refs. I would far rather have someone looking to impress the ref supervisor by quietly going about his business than have a Collum or Madden who are only interested in being the centre of attention and end up giving stupid penalties or red cards that just smack of "look at me - I'm the boss"

[donsdaft]

I wouldn't have thought that anything that would impress the referee's supervisor would be any benefit to us.

Exactly the only way refs will impress the SFA is with shafting us

Really shyte start

Really shyte start

Indeed! ... like they're aa playin wi their boots on the wrang feet ... pish!

[57vintage]

It sounds pish, but I’ve just been cheered up immensely by a video of a Netherlands infant pledging allegiance to the Dons, and insulting a rival. The child has a duty to be a Red, due to sharing a name with a former club chairman, and being the offspring of a zoomer.

[Mason89]

Weird watching Aberdeen sober. Is it always this bad?

[Br0chred]

some of our passing has been completely rank

[Br0chred]

Ever since Saturday there's been lots of chat about we've got a run of games now where we can pick up points. I heard that earlier on this season and then we lost lots of games. I hope the team aren't going into this game with the view we'll win and not put in the required effort... because that is what it looks like. Started slow and then showed buggger all

[ByeByeScum2012]

some of our passing has been completely rank

Far too many poor first touches and giving the ball away far too easily. Very poor but we did start to get on top towards half time. Hopefully score first and sneak up the road with a win.

[macattack]

Well That Was a Garbage 1st half hopefully can only improve

[donsdaft]

Aye, we’ll win this nae bother.

First time I’ve heard Red TV commentary for a while.
I know we’ve been s’hite but they’ve been on the player’s backs since fhe first 5 minutes

Fkn Sheeeeiiite!

For ****’s sake.

FFS shyte defending again. Never mind goal machine Emmanuel Thomas is on to save the day

[irnbru1903]

Tedious, toothless inept sh1te. Keeps picking players that are simply not good enough. We are the baked potato of the football world ... boring and predictable.

[Jupiter]

That'll be the final score

[Br0chred]

That'll be the final score

I fear so. Little evidence to the contrary

[ByeByeScum2012]

Hesgoal working fine

[57vintage]

When Emmanuel-Thomas and McLennan are your first choice subs…

[Jormungand]

cheers min, forgot about that een

[Br0chred]

Jenks off McLennan on.
Emmanual Thomas really is gash. Absolutely no urgency here at all, pathetic
Ramsey off he's been rank as well

[57vintage]

When Emmanuel-Thomas and McLennan are your first choice subs…

And now Matty Kennedy. FFS.

[The_Moog]

We really are rather shyte aren’t we.

Not one of them has turned up tonight. Ramsey has had an absolute mare. Get yer head out yer arse son and concentrate on yer fitba.

JET, Kennedy, McLennan the subs - aye some squad like.

Can someone…. Anyone….. explain to me the thinking behind playing Ojo, a right footed player with no pace out wide left????

As shambolic a decision as the performance has been. Sooner this seasons done the better tbh…

[Br0chred]

And now Matty Kennedy. FFS.

Another one that we have zero confidence in that will deliver

[pieandbovrilman]

What a disgrace , St Mirren have only won once at home this season before tonight and that was against us! That is absolutely shocking to be the only team to have been beaten there is bad enough but twice is an absolutely shocking statistic.

[Br0chred]

Complete and utter pish

[NaeMairNeeps]

Booooooooooooooooo! .... That was fkn painful!

[ByeByeScum2012]

Could someone please run Jet, Kennedy, McLennan and Ojo down to Dens and bundle McGinn into the boot on the way home. Shambles

[nice1simmy]

F@ck me that was one of the worst performances i've seen from an Aberdeen team

[donsdaft]

Utter utter s'hite.

Half of them have one eye on their transfers.

Three substitutes, none of them having the remotest possibly of improving anything.

[The_Moog]

Absolute horseshyte.

Zero positives from that - not one.

Just fuuck off Glass you clueless cuunt.

[ByeByeScum2012]

Absolute zero positives to take from that.

[irnbru1903]

At least Glass will be chuffed with all that boring pointless possession. Strangely it has left us pointless. Well done.
No passmarks today. All equally poor.

[donsdaft]

Absolute zero positives to take from that.



Not quite true.

1/ It didn't cost me anything to watch that p'ish
2/ I'm warm in bed already instead of being freezing and getting on the bus heading to Aberdeen.

[feel]

Passing without purpose is a disease. Nobody wants to be the one who loses possession so the passes become less and less impactful and more and more backwards and safe. Utter garbage. Subs awful. Cannot play with Brown, Ojo, Ferguson, Jenks all in the middle and all offering zero drive or impetus. Hedges is poor and anyone wanting to pay good money for him should be welcomed. Ferguson has contributed very very little for a long time. Ramirez completely wasted up there by himself with no service. Glass is a major worry. Next three games could be similar.

[Red Zone]

That's us lost 10 out of 22 league games including 5 defeats to teams in the bottom 6, just completely and utterly unacceptable

[macattack]

absoulte garbage be lucky to stay in in top 6 after that performance :mad:

[Shetland Don]

That was an absolutely atrocious performance. Two shots on goal the whole game?! This is, frankly, a mid-table team aside from the occasional “blip” in performances. The subs showed why they have not been in the first team all season … Jet’s clearly still on the Xmas leftovers; Kennedy is shiiite and McLennan isn’t a footballer. Why do we bother!?

[irnbru1903]

The lack of urgency in the transfer market when we have so many areas needing improved is infuriating. Bringing in guys that we can't play while fobbing us off with Devlin, Kennedy, McLennan, Ojo, McGeouch, JET, Gallacher, Jenks. Next we will go in for St Johstones third choice striker on loan for the rest of the season to really compound the pisstake.

[pieandbovrilman]

Well I must admit that after having analyzed the data I have come to the conclusion that we are sh’itey sh’itey poop poop poopy pants.

[ByeByeScum2012]

If someone turned down £3.3m for Ramsay they’d better get back on the phone pronto based on that performance

[Hairdrier]

Mid table mediocrity awaits this team and manager. :zzz:

[NaeMairNeeps]

Nae once in that game did a wide player use an overlappin team-mate .... Kennedy the worst offender (Newsflash - he's still sh!te! ), instead, cuttin inside every time an' passin backwards ... nae always tae a red shirt! ... shockin'!
Once again, the only guy fa looked onythin like a winger was Ramsay .... and even he was poor.
McLennan was actually better than the vast majority on the field ... but the bar wisna set particularly high .... even Broon was disappointin. Jist pish! ... and 'at's comin fae me, fa yiz ken, tends tae clap rether than flap.... grrrrrrr!

[The_Moog]

Mid table mediocrity awaits this team and manager. :zzz:

Awaits?

It arrived quite some time ago - and its nae leaving anytime soon either wi that charlatan in charge…

[ToonsClock4am]

Aye, we’ll win this nae bother.

First time I’ve heard Red TV commentary for a while.
I know we’ve been s’hite but they’ve been on the player’s backs since fhe first 5 minutes

That's because the team were utter shyte from the 1st minute. Steve Cowan my clear motm for stating the truth throughout. Doubt he'll get asked back any time soon mind. But he should be.

[blowupsheep]

Hopefully Neil Lennon will be aff the dole and heading to Pittodrie pretty soon on a short term gig to the end of the season to sort this sh1te out.
Glass well and truly out of his depth and it’s time he was sent packing
Bigger question is will fcukin Cormack do it and admit he got the appointment wrong.

[man-erg]

We are a man down when JET is playing. He was all over place last night and almost every touch of the ball he had was a mistake. He must be doing something special in training. McLennan is not much better. It has been evident for a long time that both players are just not good enough. Still think there is potentially a decent player in Kennedy but his decision making is a problem.

[Mason89]

I’ve watched a fair amount of Dumbarton this season. Kennedy, Campbell, JET & McLennan would struggle to hold down a place in that team.

[donsdaft]

Perhaps he should decide that he's nae a fitba player.

[Mason89]

Joshua Oyinsan who plays for the Sons, does everything JET does but better. He’s probably on about £300 a week. Not for a moment suggesting we sign him, just pointing out how pish a signing JET actually is

[Bisconti's balls]

No he will not! His ego is far to big to admit he got anything wrong. Anyway he is a dodgy shyster fk him!

[PittodriePile]

Hedges is poor and anyone wanting to pay good money for him should be welcomed.

I'd welcome bad money at this point.

[Red Zone]

I'd welcome bad money at this point.

I can understand why Blackburn would want to sign him now to help get promotion to the Premier League as I see him as a decent Championship level player. But what do they do with him if they get promoted (they are currently second and on a good run so a real possibility) as he is miles away from being a Premier League level player? Likely away on loan somewhere? Likewise if they only sign him on a pre-contract and they get promoted. No big deal for Blackburn to write-off any small amount of money spent on Hedges if they are promoted but Hedges might end up in a bit like no-mans land albeit on wages that he may be happy enough to pick up and play very little football.

[donsdaft]

I didn't see a hell of a lot of football being played last night.

[57vintage]

I'd welcome bad money at this point.

Several of the local news sources in that area of Lancashire are saying that a verbal pre-contract agreement exists, but that Hedges will see out the season with the Dons.

A good player on his day, but hoorin inconsistent. We’ll cope, but I have an affa feeling that Glass sees ability in McLennan and Kennedy that has by-passed me.

[InversneckieDob]

I only found out recently Kennedy is 27.
I assumed he was about 20-21 when we signed him.
27, I'd say he's close to all the player he's ever going to be.
Kennedy was another of those "good game against us, let's sign him" lazy purchases.

He's nae good enough, a lot of our squad are nae good enough.

[donsdaft]

Get rid of Kennedy now, possibly as a part exchange for a Scottish player that we're going to need at the last minute after selling someone at the last minute.

Can't say I was very impressed with the St.Mirren boy McGrath we had been after, we're going to have to try harder than that.

[nice1simmy]

I guess we will know which one of us is right by 9.30 tonight!!

McInnes remembered him as a Killie youngster scoring an extraordinary goal in a friendly v Bristol City when he managed them.

[Shetland Don]

The St Mirren match on Tuesday, followed by the next three games, were apparently going to be games where we should be able to pick up close to maximum points from. The absolute maximum we can get now is 75% but in all honesty I think that we might be lucky to get five points from the next three games. We’ll see how things pan out but just as we are close enough to 4th place, the three or four teams below us are breathing down our necks too! Can’t see us catching Hearts either.

[Bisconti's balls]

It's all a massive waste of emotion and money. I woudnt be surprised if it takes us 10+ years to win our next cup. As I said its a massive massive con job!!

[donsdaft]

Well, whatever it is, it certainly isn't that.

The club has to stay within it's means, we're trying something different, it's worth sticking to.
The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.

Agree with that summary Sneckie. He's not been good enough and is unlikely to get much better.
We have had a number of these good game signings recently Kennedy, ST J away he scored 1-0 or 1-1? Main the semi, Emmanual Thomas (well 2 good games last season) and it doesn't seem to work. I am more encouraged by this windows signings (looks like 2 good ones) and to be fair to Glass , he was left with an awful lot of dead wood to get shot of from one of the most unbalanced squads ever. There's been a lot of very bad performances this season but we seem to have lost the majority of these games having dominated possession/the game and then let in almost 100% of the shots on goal (not always Joe's fault but a fair few were)
I've been encouraged by Glass despite some god awful results, and the fact that every manager signs folk that don't work out -Gurr -
Keep the faith. Mind you if Besuijen or however you spell it. is a dud no doubt I'll come back on and moan about it as moaning appears to be what we do best on here, that or slagging off the huns and pjms.

[57vintage]

slagging off the huns and pjms.

A man needs a hobby.

If it ever achieves Olympic status (shooty-gun stuff, dancing ****ing cuddies, and sledging are the thin end of the wedge), I’ll up my PB sufficiently to ensure a squad place.

[InversneckieDob]

Game at Perth, they finished with 9 men but got a draw, 1-1 I think.
He tore us a new one.
