I’d agree with you re Vinny and the cammy smith comparison, but he had a successful loan last year, first game I thought he’d at least get a run at some point. I think it’s an attitude issue too, I don’t think he’s a high work rate/high press type of guy. Wonder if JT already sees that. I think McGrath is a proven quality for us, second half would have given him a good look at Vinny, if JT needed it.

Aye deleted it when I noticed but you were obviously too sharp for me. Rules were changed at the start of last season - yellow cards in cup competitions no longer carry over.

Definite promising signs. Sokler looks good. Nilsen looks like he will be fine when he gets used to speed of the game. Will caveat all of this with Queens look shite.

That list is dated July 2023. Very odd. Shinnie was definitely booked in semi final and final so that used to be a suspension for next seasons cup.

I fully expect width to come from Morris and Vinny, think Morris got an assist on at least one of the goals against peterhead? im saying 3-1 us, sokler clarkson McGrath. while quiet here of late, very excited to see how we perform under JT and looking forward to the new season. No pressure of immediate European games helps the manager get settled IMHO, and while it’s not friendlies, the league cup is good prep for a new manager as he brings in players to build a team for the league. Really like his interviews, comes across as experienced and intelligent, and not the typical comments of a Scottish manager. Haven’t heard him say are you with me yet, but I’ll give him time.

This. How are we meant to know there's a game on? Next we'll be getting told there's a delay in pie shipments and we'll have to play our remaining games at Hampden.

Absolute delusional pish. You seriously think the Huns will get to the final?

Nah, let him rot. Fine him every week until he can't afford the flight back to Aberdeen to grovel. Make his life a misery until, finally, he apologises, trains hard, goes to lots of supporter functions and community outreach programmes and begins to win the hearts and minds of the city, then bangs them in for Cape Verde with his value going through the roof - yet still he waits for Jimmy Thelin to give him a chance. It's a wait that goes on until the Scottish Cup final when the bench signal for Duk, he comes on at a packed Hampden, flattens Scott Wright with his first touch, nutmegs Todd Cantwell with his second, collects a pass from Nilsen, rounds Jack Butland, and just as he's about to complete a wonderful redemption arc and send the red army wild - Shinnie snaps him in two and screams in his face "that's what you get for fucking with the Dons". Connor Barron goes on to miss the crucial spot kick in the penalty shoot-out.
