Aberdeen v St Johnstone

Did Mr Considine get a good reception?

I didn't see how he did when he came out for the warm up, but got a few cheers and claps when announced on the tannoy.

How did Stewart play today? Any better with a bit of stability in the team with the arrival of Shinnie?

He was solid. Generally got rid of the ball upfield asap. Only a couple of times did he have his Beckenbauer-delusion but got away with it comfortably. Often provided a useful link at the back receiving the ball and funnelling it out right to McRorie or Kennedy. Always a terrific clearing header.

Credit to Goodwin too, not waiting too long for substitutions. Duk was not having his best game. Obvious substitution was take Duk off and play Ramirez through the middle with Miovski off him. Instead Duk through the middle and two goals.

Shinnie was brilliant today,started off a bit slow but he is exactly what we have been missing in midfield all season. We will be a far better side with him in the team.

Surprised no one has mentioned how bad the referee was today,it was almost like he was trying to make sure we didn’t win today.

I've still got huge doubts about Stewart, but possibly Shinnie and Ramadani in front of the defence will have a better impact on his game and our defence in general.
I still scratch by heid trying to figure JG wanting players to play out from defence and then signs Stewart, a strange one.
Not doubting he likes a battle and can cope with the physical side, but his distribution is still a worry.

Scales looked decent coming forward yesterday. Considering McCrorie & Coulsen are also handy enough carrying the ba forward, I see no reason why we can't just keep Stewart back to win a'thing in the air and get rid o the ba ASAP

Ref was atrocious. Worst moment of all when he didna play advantage after that foul on Besuijen, even though he stayed on his feet for a change and passed forward.

Playing out from the back like that is insane

It’s become a stupid fad since the suits fücked about with the rule that quite correctly insisted that a dead ball had to leave the penalty area before another player got a shottie. On Saturday, we had the stupidity of Scales taking the goal kick to allow Roos to leather it up the park, the point of which escapes me completely.
