As Calderon said already, yes I would avoid them, especially the White Cockade, which is essentially a locals bar with very little, if any passing trade. It’s years since I’ve been in either but didn’t feel welcome and I would be surprised if they had changed any. The only decent pub in Torry, Campbells, shut down a few years ago. Loads of pubs, of all types, in the Guild street, Market Street area. From old school boozers - Old Kings Highway, Spirit Level, Snuggery, Market Bar, Aitchie’s etc to more upmarket e.g. Craftsman, CASC. You’re also a very short walk from one of Aberdeen’s best pubs - The Prince Of Wales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go with… Macdonald Tumilty Lang Berra Dick Matthews Stanton Ross Gullan Zanatta Varian I don’t think Gullan is the type of player to play up top on his own, sitting as a 10 is prob his best position. Although I don’t rate Varian, in the absence of another striker, he’s probably the best we have for that role. Isn't Tumilty suspended for this one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the second group to get their name into the Banks o' Dee draw didn't get tickets but every other group did. Hopefully it was just an oversight on the page and supply narrowly outstripped demand and everyone's getting in. Club saying everyone who entered got tickets with a small amount available for general sale later this week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakngravy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Sunk a few pints in the Prince of Wales a good few years ago now. Is Jimmy Wilson's pub still on Market Street? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'd give Arnott and Mitchel decent game time in this. RB is an issue but it'll be Musonda as there's little other choice to play there. Gullan behind a target man the rest will be the usual I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a bad thought to try Mitchell up top with Gullan behind and Ross and Connolly wide. Certainly he’s likely to be as effectual as Varian or Pops have been recently. That leaves Varian, Pops and Zanatta as punch from the bench. 2 hours ago, Scary Bear said: If you were ever appointed Rovers manager I feel your managerial reign would be brief. Ah, but as a gadfly pundit I can freely suggest batshit insane stuff…as a manager, you can’t be nearly so off the wall. Either way, I’m not even qualified to coach a kiddie team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I thought Poplatnik looked more dangerous in 10 minutes on Saturday than Gullan managed in 90. If we're playing one up top Gullan would be 3rd choice for that role for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're playing one up top Gullan would be 3rd choice for that role for me. Gullan is never a one up top striker…he’s better suited as one of a pairing or as the second striker behind someone. With Vaughan, he could play up top because Vaughan behind was literally the same as a pairing because of his movement and gay abandon in the attack. Of all our signed forwards, Mitchell is likely the closest to a true #9. Gullan and Vaughan are both classic false 9’s, and Varian (at this stage) and Pops are more true 9’s who can’t/won’t shoot enough to score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Players were locked in the dressing room for 45 minutes after Saturday's "performance". Zanatta was seemingly torn to shreds by the gaffer as well. Ooft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 This is typical of Zanattas career to date really starts on fire then fades away. He really needs to screw the nut here and get back on track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
