Two older adults and two younger. I’d be surprised if they were from the same household group but what do I know from the sounds of it, the club were collating against their own database. Im pretty sure Im still registered at my home in Aberdeen rather than in glasgow, so there may have been ways around it. Ive still never changed my bank either so even if they were looking for proof of address, folk could probably provide docs. If they were comfortable sat next to each other, then chances are theyll have been socialising anyway, so no additional contact because of the match. As youve said (emojid..?): Thats my reaction to most of the rules on covid these days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG_03 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Just watched the highlights, I'm loving the back 3 with Tommie hoban organising everything and I'm loving Ferguson and McRorie in the middle, is there a better centre midfield pairing in Scotland? Both young and on long contracts too. Wright and Hedges are finally realising their potential and are working well with Watkins up top. Hayes and Kennedy providing width and pace, there's a lot to be excited about for the Dons right now. Get Hoban signed up pronto! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is inevitable. Apologies, all the positivity is making me uneasy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only here until January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 We do seem to be onto something this season, without getting carried away. Derek's demeanour is different this season, he himself looks like he has a lot more belief in this team. I've always had a theory that the style of play in the last couple of years was because he privately didn't believe in the team so he felt we'd accumulate the most points by shelling as much balls forward as we could and hoping something stuck. Our ability to flex between a pretty slick attacking outfit and a solid defensive unit, depending on circumstances, is very encouraging and fits Mcinnes' ethos perfectly. It will hopefully allow us to get back to his earlier days of winning the majority of games against the bottom 6-8 sides. Watkins could not score until Xmas and I'd probably still want him in the team ahead of Cosgrove. The way he brings others into play is helping us hugely and we are just a more attractive side to watch in general. A real chance to accumulate some more points ahead of a home tie with Celtic too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real chance to accumulate some more points ahead of a home tie with Celtic too.I personally think that's a mental take. Watkins seems like a very useful player and, we're lucky we were able to get him in on such short notice, but I would take Cosgrove over him in a flash. The Idea that Cosgrove is just a striker who wins headers and bullies defenders is just wrong. When we played the long balls up to him last season it was his ability to hold up, bring "others into play" and score a bucket load of goals that almost single handedly won us games.The reason why we're playing so well is because we finally have a player in Wright that can play behind the striker (and we're not relying on players like Gallagher and Wilson) so the ball can go through him instead and our midfielders have options out wide in the wing backs that aren't being completely isolated further up the pitch.Again Watkins is a very useful player but he's also missed a lot of chances I think Cosgrove would have buried.We were awful at creating chances last season and yet Cosgrove scored 20+ goals... imagine what he could do with Wright and Hedges playing the way they are at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 With Watkins, Wright and Hedges up there we have three talented players who are happy to get on the ball and drive at the defence. Force them in to a decision. For too long it's been slow, ponderous and with the telegraphed run inside to a crowded central area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still early and I just get touchy when people suggest Big Beautiful Sam isn't actually Balon d'Or Worthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Things are going brilliantly. We have a fantastic squad this season. We now have different options for different situations. There is still space in the team for a finisher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look in the match thread from the Celtic game you'll likely find comments where people claim we look much more of a threat with Cosgrove in the box though. The Killie game was brilliant. Both sides playing some good stuff and we managed to get a very good win. Please don't remind me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't remind me I just wanted to address the point that I was revising history if I suddenly thought Watkins was important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
