R.B.B:- Adz Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 McInnes must have been watching wee Midge today thinking we were back in 2008 when he waxed lyrical about the wee man. If Midge had played like that every week since he came here he would be down south on mega bucks. One of those players that Del and Wright have said they can believe nobody has ever come in to snap him up. A full season of those performances please Midge. auld reekie saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelosi Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Sky Sports have just shown that Saints have signed Steven Naismith...with a commentary of todays game against Aberdeen they somehow managed to show Naismith's goal against Arsenal...unfortunately for Everton Naismith could'nt lace MacLean's boots! Hopefully we'll get to see the correct highlights later..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjo Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I would love the club to offer Chris Miller a new contract now as a reward for some inspired performance. Would surely motivate others to try and up their game as well. auld reekie saint and Dave Ferg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auld reekie saint Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Excellent performance today. Only criticism (and I mean only!) was that Macca looked isolated at times. He needs help but in Tommy we trust. As for Aberdeen McInnes has done an excellent job in coaching them in the art of tackling at head height.

Pelosi Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I wonder what Midge has for breakfast....today it was the Aberdeen Team!! ha ha. I think the drug testers will be waiting to do their tests on him when he leaves the pitch next match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Millar certainly seems to have grown a pair this season. Well done today especially as we were apparently pretty dire last time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchcolm Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thought Croft had a good 1st half . I think Tommy wants his wide men to protect his full backs & that is what Croft does. Final ball could be better & the players did have a go for not covering Consadine.O`Halloran does trouble defences when he runs at them but the head is down & doesn`t see a pass. He was also the freshest man on the park but he didn`t close down or track back. Croft before him anytime. Mikey is this seasons Nige, can help turn a game but not a team player. Again a game of opinions. I thought Croft was our best midfield player in the first half. However I disagree with your statements about O'Hallorans lack of tracking back when he palys wide; numerous times this season he has chased and made good tackles and also shut down fullbacks.Last season Logan did not make runs forward because he was fearful of O'Hallorans pace. He only played 10 mis wide before we went 4411 with him playeing behind McLean and TW shouting for him to stay forward. His head was up for his assist toady. TW has a problem wide right Croft or O'Halloran as I see this as O'Hallorans best position and it is the only position Croft can play.

lethamsaintee Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Great performance from the whole team. Thoroughly deserved to win that game. Definitely we did. Had Aberdeen sussed out immediately. They've got an alright middle of the park but little else and as long as you match them up numbers wise it shouldn't be a problem against them as we all know McInnes isn't great to changing the flow of the game once it's started. I don't honestly see the fuss with Aberdeen. An average keeper, a back four of complete cloggers. As said they are ok in the middle but nothing special, as long as you don't give them room to work. We got it spot on, played well as a team and had some excellent individual performances. With better finishing and decision making we might have won that by three or four.

Ali91 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Reading the Dandies boards and some are calling for McInnes head. My favourite comment was "typical Aberdeen losing when we could have gone level with Celtic." Fantastic levels of delusion there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Drummonds Perm Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Funny when Mannus was diving down for the ball on the edge of the box and he let go before leaving his area, and the whole Aberdeen end were up shouting for..........feck knows!!!!!!!!!! girfuy HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Having seen the penalty shout against Considine (the second one, and better shout), it would've been harsh. His back is too the ball and he's no idea where the ball is, hands in a funny position but he's jumping so your hands spread anyway Edited August 24, 2014 by RandomGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Good 3 points. Deserved it with the performance. Really enjoyed the game. 10 out of 10 for the pitch, looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthSeany Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 According to the BBC tv match report it was a stone wall penalty on Mackay when spoony vollyed across the 6 yard box and Dave was stretching to knock it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look like much to me, tbh. Highlights aren't the greatest but looks like Mackay traps his own foot, would be furious if it was given against us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenrothes saintee Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I had a very enjoyable evening last night in Glenrothes in the company of several Aberdeen fans. I seemed to be the only one with a smile on my face. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Just as a wee aside, I read the match report on the official website for the first time in a long time today, and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Last time I read one it was vague and pretty pointless tbh, kudos to whoever writes them up these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
