Guest Bob Mahelp Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 There's a danger that you'll end up with the Hampden problem, where some people insist on sitting because there are seats there, despite the fact that 95% of other fans are all standing up. It all leads to unnecessary argument. If they want to introduce a standing area, take the seats away. Or at least bring in this hybrid version that UEFA insist on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep62 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Mind reading that article when it first came out back in 2014. A wanna be hard man like Brown would literally shit his pants if he'd came face to face with The Brush on the park Edited December 22, 2019 by Sheep62 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Ffs, that was never a red. I’d be raging about that. The big man will be a miss against us. Also, I haven’t forgotten the foul on Jacobs outside the box for which he was awarded a penalty.

perthsaint1977 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Same tackle that Callum hendry put in on Logan a few weeks ago and every Aberdeen fan said it was a definite red. This is exactly the same kind of reckless challenge that will never be overturned -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Cosgrove’s was technically a red card, but shouldn’t have been in the spirit of the game. It was both a brilliant tackle and reckless and off the ground. I don’t like that being a red card (because you’re judging it on *if* it goes wrong) but unfortunately it probably is these days. Even 5/10 years back that is probably a yellow but there’s been a real zero-tolerance approach to jumping into tackles in the last few years from refs. That is, of course, unless your name is Scott Brown. c**t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Cosgrove got the ball and barely caught Ajer, but you have to question why he giving the ref a chance by launching into a tackle in that way, in that position of the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Definitely need some cover for midfield in January. Even the defenders McInnes plays in midfield are dropping out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constant defender of derek but Signing Bryson following on from gleeson and others is almost gross negligence from Him. How much of our budget has gone towards players we can’t even select? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Bryson has looked shite anytime I’ve seen him. No loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The Craig Bryson signing is becoming a bit of a farce. A selection box of injuries, and pretty ineffectual whenever he’s managed to prop himself up on the park. He’s really got to show something in the second half of the season once he’s back to prove that he’s got any future here. Let’s hope the January signings McInnes has in mind are longer term options like Rooney/Logan/McLean were and not the usual stop gaps (Greg Halford..!!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be expecting more of the stop-gap mould as Bryson will (likely) be one of our top earners so can’t see another expensive midfielder being brought in to cover. Hopefully proves me wrong though and gets a solid RB in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had a dream where we swapped Sam Cosgrove for Leigh Griffiths which would be funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
