By the way, we have far too many players who look like each other when watching on the telly. Lazetic-Bilalovic. Jensen-Karlsson Milne-Polvara Too many times today I praised/criticised the wrong player. It's another issue Pfannenstiel needs to sort out.

To all those moaning Aberdonian bastards that think he is finished, I have just two words GRAEME SHINNIE

Aye, welcome St Mirren to the Beating Celtic in a Cup Final in 2025 club. It's very exclusive.

Not for the first time, Thelin names the wrong line up, but makes the changes which turn the game. Nisbet did nothing until Lazetic came on, and then he was everywhere for the last 20 minutes. Shinnie brilliant. Bilalovic is raw, but very good. Aouchiche - get that £1.5m paid. Lovely player.

More Percy from the Green Mile vibes for me.

Just back. Stank out Pittodrie first half. Really, really poor. Played like we had lego bricks on their feet, filled with concrete. All players deserved subbed, but I did think Jensen was the worst of a bad job lot. Cometh the second half, cometh our Captain. Too slow, legs have gone, heard it all a million times now, but no other first team players offers what he does. The difference with that team in the second half was pleasing. The ponderous display of the first half gone and the real Aberdeen stepped up and won the points. I can't comment on the penalty call, as it was a busy box, but some you win. Should have been level before our equaliser and really though it wasn't to be our day. Lovely goal from Bilalovic, after great work by the lazy, useless Nisbet. He was getting some amount of abuse from guys beside me. Hope we see more of Bilalovic. Looks far more comfortable on the ball that Milanovic has done to date. 10 points from 12, not bad going. Just hope to fuck Jimmy plays a reserve team on Thursday and has us far better prepared for Parkhead next weekend and carry on our good league form.

Oooh, an afternoon tea! Hark at you being all posh, with your afternoon tea... Enjoy! I have one next Sunday and love an afternoon tea.

I haven't been since January 2019 and I'm in East Lothian I do keep meaning to come up and make a weekend of it then life and fixture changes get in the way. I have a Christmas afternoon tea today so oot as usual but hoping for a good solid win to keep us closing gap on 5th. 3 nil Nisbet, Clarkson & Karlsson

Outrageous placing of a comment in the wrong thread Youth players thread for this Will need to monitor your placement of posts

This I left three months before Gothenburg, have returned at least five or six times every season, have brought up two boys in the west of Scotland to follow The Dandies all over Scotland & Europe. I feel blessed to have brought my boys up correctly and have memories of following Aberdeen with them I will take to my grave Stand Free lads Feeling a bit teary typing that

Fair few holograms in the back line over the last 30 years.

Did you deep fry them mate

Looking at who is in our European squad, happy for this to be the team. If Gyamfi isn't fit, then play Clarkson or Palaversa at LWB for shits and giggles, and play Nilsen in the middle. Or play Jensen and play Shinnie at LWB v Celtic. A shame Bilalovic isn't in the Euro squad because would have been a nice run out for him. Go enjoy yourself lads, Prague should be nice this time of year. But it's all about another Glasgow win over Celtic on Sunday.

Genuinely still don't recollect ever seeing them. Maybe they were a Granite City delicacy and didn't make there way to the west of Scotland, a bit like decent butteries

It's on tomorrow night chief. The license fee doesn't cover four Sportscenes in a row.

Donstalk has some excellent legal representation so they'll be able to fight any lawsuit.

I think Polvara was upset with himself. He just fumed on the bench and you could see that when he came on after the end and was being ribbed about his miss in front of goal - Shinnie managed to cheer him up a bit. With Jensen, he works hard, does lots of things right, but he clearly lacks the confidence to take a man on, so if there's not an obvious forward pass he just turns back. I can see why that's frustrating for the fans, but there's no excuse for the way he's being treated. When Bilalovic came on, I had no idea who it was. I knew it wasn't Lazetic as he was already on, but that was the only reason. Shameful to not know who a player is. Naughty step for me. Thought he made quite an impact. Just need to give Kjartanson a go now too. Shitey first half, and I was nervous when those gilt-edged chances didn't go in in our strong spell second half, but we totally deserved to win in the end. Nice to see us continuing to climb the table.

Onybody else reminded o Hannibal Lecter by thon Karlsson?

The crowd were in a gurny mood from the start.I cringe seeing our own playes getting booed/jeered off,even if deservedly hooked.Total twattery

Dante wasn't a happy bunny when he was subbed. Didn't acknowledge any team mates on his way to the dugout. On Jensen, he looked a great prospect when he first arrived, but for the money we paid, we really should expect better. Hard working lad, but either just not happening for him or we aren't using him correctly. Didn't deserved to be cheered when it was announced Shinnie replaced him. Shitbag behaviour.

Maybe you just need an appointment with Specsavers.

Well,we did it again,started lethargically,faffing about at the back.Think their goal came about from us dithering did it not? Atmosphere in the ground was flat the start,but very angry by the end of the first half. Very few players trying to find space,hence giving the likes of Jensen few passing options,and a general lack of hunger all round. Just as well weve still got Grandad Shinnie to pull some strings as a second half option,and Lazetic changes the dynamic when he plays.We should have been ahead before we scored but for some horrific misses,then the mysterious Bilalovic comes on and shows us how its done.Showed a hunger to get involved,hopefully the goal helps him kick on and gets more game time. Got a bit fortunate with the penalty,but probably deserved the win on the second half performance. Agree with the Polvara comments,getting a bit tired waiting for him to kick on,just doesnt seem like he suits our game,with the exception of the odd Tim/Hun appearance.And Jensen,feel a bit sorry for him,not a bad footballer,some games he's just not what we're looking for. The win takes us level with Hibs,with the Huns and 'Well very catchable,despite patchy performances.Get these Euro games out the way,and lets step it up a bit after New Year

He is showing he is a right dirty little bastard when he wants to be. Very pleasing. I though he was more of a 'baller' to use the modern parlance, but fairly gets stuck in and is adapting to the darker side of the Scottish game.

I think that's harsh on Polvara. First half we were terrible and a reason for that was our front 3 weren't giving the midfield any options , not running in behind or providing an out ball. I want us to get him on a longer contract as he does contribute goals, energy and can play all along the midfield

YASS! .... 3-1 St Midden

Excellent second half, as has been said, look forward to the day we play for 90 mins. lazetic offers so much more than nisbet. It’s not working for Kev, but at the same time, he was much better when playing with lazetic. Maybe we sign a legit CM or two that allows us to see two forwards more regularly. Shinnie cannot play for 90 mins like that but perhaps he’s our super sub for the next year or two. Def man of the match. penalty was harsh, theirs cleanly not a pen, and I suppose you can say lazetic header was on target and hit a raised arm. very cool penalty from karlsson. Don’t think any of us have really taken to him but there’s talent there, nicely finished. topi offered so little, milanovic has done nothing. Surely, like lobban to a lesser extent, bilalovic plays some part weekly now. Has pace and aggression, and the goal showed real desire. Curious to see him on the left, fuck the inverted crap.

Top team in the league over the last ten games. Still don't look to have clicked yet but encouraging upturn in results for sure.

Wilfried Nancy is well on his way to that fabled Ten in a Row. Defeats, that is.

More like it! How we didn't score in that early part of the half I don't know. Despite missing that sitter, Shinnie the clear MOTM. Props to JT for switching it up, something he's not always done in the past. Didna look like a pen but considering that one St Mirren got against us it was definitely our turn to be lucky!

I think I might lay off starting the match threads for a week or two to protect my excellent record.

Love having a player up top like lazetic. Don’t like his diving but he’s a hard fucker who mixes it and gets stuck in. Real presence. Good win. Shit first half, excellent second. Shinnie a huge impact. Hopefully we see more of bilalovic. Wasn’t great but isn’t out of place. Great desire to get on the end of the cross.

Stonewall penalty if you ask me. In my unbiased opinion.

penalty!

And what a way to prove it.

Definitely got the line up wrong today. Jensen on the right won’t give us attacking width, topi is not a wing back. Armstrong and adil should have been dropped for shinnie and possibly Clarkson. Nisbet is not a line leading 9. We needed to be fresh in midfield and take the game to them from the start. We have been the opposite. While polvara didn’t play Thursday he’s not an aggressive player and won’t dictate play or dominate.

Brutal - no other word for it. At least VAR did the job its supposed to do for once - about the only positive. Massive squad so lets just pretty much go with the same team as Thursday. Though tbh if you can’t handle two games a week then you shouldn’t be at AFC. He’d better just play all the reserves and Ambrose types in Prague is all I can say. YET ANOTHER absolutely shambolic goal given away, its becoming beyond tiresome. Polvara and Nisbet have been a waste of a shirt, Topi is just not a wing back, changes needed at HT. Poor, poor stuff so far…

Jensen is the usual easy target for an element of our support. There are others who have offered even less so far today

Report card will read as -D

Said “should” not will.

Ed Sheeran is someone who I would gladly batter until I collapsed with exhaustion. Shite singer who rips off other people's songs to make his own shite songs.

Match day and thankfully the wind has calmed down. I went out for my walk yesterday afternoon and was nearly blown over twice. Confident for the points this afternoon, but not overly so. I've been scarred enough over the years, never to be overly confident. The lad Watson being out for them, will hopefully help us, but with dracula not in their dugout, they might fancy it more. After yesterdays results, a win would help consolidate our top six position nicely and also would see us with 10 points, from our previous four games, which I would have snatched your hand off for before hand. COYR

Appreciate the N/E the older I get.As for Pittodrie,still get a buzz going into the ground(often changes quickly like). Looking forward to the game tomorrow,feels like were getting close to giving someone a jolly good thrashing.....then the game starts

22 years ago, Pele Paterson was in the hot seat. Did it scar you that much? You never get the urge to make the pilgrimage up to our Mecca of the north? (Nae bingo jokes please). I'm assuming you are still in Englandshire and not further afield. The reason I have never left Aberdeen, to live further afield, is our bloody club. I was asked once to move abroad and that was my reason for not going. A 100% genuine answer. I wouldn't even class myself as that big a dandy and much more committed supporters than me, but I couldn't live without my regular fix. Would be easier coming off crack. As long as the heart is in the right place, then that is what counts.

Fucking part timer Living in Kiwi land is no excuse

I'll take any kind of win 2bh but it would be nice to get a convincing one and up the momentum a wee bit. The red tinted specs podcast had a Killie fan on and he sounded thoroughly depressed with all things KFC which bodes well. In Main 3-0 Polvara, Lazetic and Nisbet

Ross County WTF Where did it all go wrong Given my father was from just outside Dingwall, I have always had a bit of a soft spot for them. To add further interest to it, I have a lot of time for Tony Doc

I hinna been to Pittodrie in 22 years, so I'm not even part time. Scott Booth scored for us last time I was there. That's how long ago it was.

My very favourite player of all time. When he played the masters last year I genuinely welled up a bit seeing him score for the dons one last time.

Born on this day 55 years ago, Eoin Jess. Happy Birthday loon. One of the very, very best in my opinion and was a privilege to watch him break through.

I've said it before so I'll say it again: Miovski was good for us, not great, and any love for him can only have been because of how shite the majority of the rest of our squad was rather than him being any kind of special. Compared to proper heroes he was and remains a nobody. Shinnie deserves 100 times the love and respect that Miovski got but somehow he doesn't seem to get it.
