A very mixed performance with the defence looking shaky yet again. Gallagher looks all at sea at present. That said considering only Lewis, McCrorie and Ferguson of today's starting XI were McInnes regulars last season and we are very much a team trying to gel and have already got 8 points from 4 games it's been an okay start in the League.

The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23

The problem we will always have is the bigger clubs start their seasons 2 to 3 weeks later than us and their surplus to requirement players don't become available until the last week of the window. I don't think it would have made much difference as Qarabag were a decent team as reflected by their constant qualifying for group stages season after season -

Rumour flying around that we have made an offer for Jamie Hamilton of Hamilton. -

Hibs are still in the League Cup with a winnable quarter final at Tannadice. I would much rather be still in the Cup personally. We won't be getting any further in Europe unless Qarabag are total shite. -

McGeouch I thought was unlucky to be subbed today. Plenty of others were worse than him. As for Gurr he's Highland League standard. Really don't get why we needed to make so many changes. We were at home on Thursday, Hibernian in Croatia yet they went with a strong team today. At least we've avoided the inevitable thrashing at Celtic Park in the next round. -

Clearly Derek McInnes wasted Ojo's talent putting him as a sitting midfielder. -
Livingston vs Aberdeen
highland_mechanic replied to betting competition's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
A long day with 4 buses to get to Livingston and back. Thought we stunk the place out 1st half but thankfully sneaked a win. Gurr really surprised me with his pace but still much prefer Ramsay at full back. Was not at all impressed by Jenks despite his fine finish. JET was utterly awful and McGinn looks finished. The fans shouldn't have run on the pitch but I understood it after nearly 18 months of no away days. They just went slightly OTT. As for Bruce Anderson when did he turn into a diving little fanny? Don't remember him hitting the deck so often when he played for us. Would not have won that if McInnes was still in charge. In Glass we trust -

Could Derek Ferguson be trying to stir up things to get his son a move to Glasgow? -

I got a ticket. Going to be a long day as I don't drive so will be taking public transport. Is it easy getting to and from Edinburgh to Livingston on Sundays as my connection home to Aberdeen is at 6.50pm -
Aberdeen v Dundee Utd
highland_mechanic replied to Frank Grimes's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
If Ferguson has any sense he will stay another 12 to 18 months as playing alongside Brown will improve him and then he can get a big money move to England -
Aberdeen v Dundee Utd
highland_mechanic replied to Frank Grimes's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
A very workmanlike performance and a comfortable win. Still think we badly need pace in the forward areas. Ramsay sending Reynolds into a different timezone with his spin and turn was sensational. Kennedy's time at AFC is clearly up if he isn't even on the bench when Hedges is out injured. Get him out and get a pacy winger in. United will be 9th or worse. They were honking. Mulgrew (arsehole) very lucky not to seriously injure Ojo. -

You can add me to that list. This week's tie with Hacken is tougher. -

Been a season ticket holder for over 30 years but working in the meat industry I have to be really careful who I am near so unfortunately I will have to give the first few games a miss as really can't risk having to self isolate or fail a lateral flow test. -

There were 2 matches going on at the same time. On one pitch we were playing Inverness and on the other pitch we were playing against our development side. We made 9 subs at half time (only McCrorie and Considine played whole 90 v Caley) with the 20 players who played 45 minutes v Caley also playing a half each v the Development side so all our 22 players got 90 minutes of football today. -

I think the new players that Wicks was talking about is Gurr and Ramirez who have agreed to join but we need to wait for quarantine for Gurr and a work permit and quarantine for Ramirez -

It's a really dangerous tie. We will be going on with a brand new team and ideally someone from Gibraltar or Andorra like Hibernian have drawn would be a nice gentle opener. Wouldn't be shocked if we lost. -

Allan Russell's contacts clearly have helped here. I wonder if any other young English talent will come north this summer -

Considering Chewing the Fat and Still Game are "all about the banter" it never ceases to amaze me how so many from that part of Scotland take everything so damn seriously and take total offence at any comment they don't agree with
