Good result, not so great performance, but points are what matters so I'll take it. We could have had the game wrapped up in the first 15 minutes if we'd been a bit more clinical, as they looked rattled by how we started, however we let them back into the game too easily, and they were the better team for most of the game. They didn't carve out too many chances, but I felt like us keeping it to just one conceded was more down to County than us. Even their goal was an accident. Grimshaw can run all day, but he seems genuinely surprised any time he ends up with the ball, and doesn't know what to do with it. There was also too many occasions today where he was beaten to second balls. Donnelly showed more composure when he came on, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him start next week I felt that Woolery was too negative, and avoided taking on his man any time he had the chance. Watt was excellent and would have been man of the match even if he hadn't scored. VV was kicked/marked out of the game and barely got involved. Slattery is a quality player. He breaks up play well, knows how to take the pressure off by winning fouls and slowing the game down, and rarely wastes possession. He needs some solid support in there so that he can get the time and space to be more creative. Our full backs were exposed for most of the game, and we are going to be in serious trouble against decent wingers who are more accomplished with their final ball and decision making. I'm happy that we are accumulating points while we are changing the back 4 every week and still gelling. The day that front 3 clicks is going to be fun.

We cheated. Wasted time, we were unprofessional and and us well fans should be embarrassed. He also didn't see the offside goal.

You can listen to the bold Charlie the h*n make an absolute tit of himself on the podcast of today's clyde SSB show. It is at the 94th min of part 2. https://planetradio.co.uk/podcasts/superscoreboard/

If hibs are challenging in January the arse cheeks will unsettle Boyle and Porteous, and the papers will do their best to help them. If we're up there I'm sure we will see the same about VV, Kelly, etc. Neither OF team looks anything special, and each of the bottom 10 has it in them to get results against them.

Slattery was brilliant and took the pressure off of us on multiple occasions. Everyone played well, and Woolery had his best game. Fair play to McGinley for another solid game when he looked like toast after the Airdrie game.

Goal looked offside, and we maybe should have had a pen. We were lucky not to concede one from mugabis handball too. The ball never sat for watt on that chance, he was in trouble as soon as he played it to his left. We need to change our plan of falling over at slight contact, the ref isn't having it from either side so far. Grimmy is playing himself out of the starting lineup. Watching him with the ball gives me that feeling of trying to run away in a nightmare.

Calling an injured player a wage theif implies we should just punt everyone who gets injured, or at least not pay them. Unless you're saying he wasn't really injured. Poor take either way. Dunne was a decent player, and was part of a fun era for the club. We let him go at the right time, and good for him that he got another top flight gig.

It's an annual thing, so for these to be interesting there needs to be a marquee inductee each year, then a mix of legends from different eras. As said above, you also need people that can turn up and accept the award. As such, these inductions aren't in any kind of order, and it gets discussion going. Hammell is more than worthy of a spot, and I'm sure everyone that's deserving will find their way in there.

I wasn't going to go anyway.

The brown challenge that everyone got riled up about was nothing, and Van Veen had two or three worse than that. Brown is still a dick though. I thought woolery was unlucky with his yellow card, as they were just niggly fouls and nothing cynical. It's not his fault that he's a unit. Van Veen and O'Hara deserved theirs, with the latter coming from a pretty reckless aerial challenge. Grimmy had to work hard for his, with JET dragging him along for a bit after his attempted rugby tackle. The best bit was Slattery being a wide-o (is that how you write it?) all game and coming out clean. He's a sneaky wee shite. We know that GA will stick with a winning side, and that's fair enough. I think we will see SOD and Donnelly in as soon as we lose a game. Having both Donnelly and Slattery on the pitch with Van Veen will be some level of wideness, and I'd love to see it at Glasgow away game to generate some hate from those mobs. Liam should have went for the drop kick when that chance bounced off his chest. The 2nd was definitely Ojala's, it bounced behind the line after coming down off the bar.

One of the Aberdeen coaching staff got a red according to twitter.

We showed again that pretty possession between the boxes is meaningless if you don't do anything with it. I can't fault a single player on our team, everyone put in a good shift and did exactly what needed to be done. Three wins on the trot with Mugabi at right back and Grimshaw in midfield. Alexander murderball works. How can you not love Van Veen? What's the chances of Aberdeen bidding for him in January?

I don't see us finishing with 11 men, or a clean sheet, but we handled Aberdeen quite well and should have scored just before we did. Excellent cross from woolery for the goal. Slattery needs to give some lessons on shithousery to the rest of the team. He's a joy to watch.

Rangers don't have anyone in the team, so Patterson is getting a lot of hype despite not playing for his club. He was at best average the other night, which is fine, but SOD has pretty much done the same. We don't get hurt down that side any more than the side with our two big premiership players on it, but no other player/position gets the same scrutiny. A lot of people are spending way too much time analyzing O'donnell, and fair play to him for ignoring it and getting on with his career. No one can take those 20+ caps away from him.

Sondre is a right footer but seems to have played predominantly at LCB. I'd expect that the aim is for him to take over from lamie, unless the latter plays out of his skin and becomes undroppable. I'd also expect Watt and Van Veen to make up 2 of the front 3 most weeks, with some half decent competition behind them.

McGowan is fucking rubbish. Woolery doesn't know how to get himself into a game, and is way too indecisive. He has shown pace, strength and skill in flashes, but isn't getting into dangerous positions. We've got 3 years for him to figure it out. I don't think he's a winger either. Ojala looked better, albeit still rusty, and lamie was solid again. Slattery imposed himself on the game more, he's going to be important for us this season. Watt is just brilliant.

Looked a pretty safe red card there, dumb challenge. Also looked like Kelly made a save from cummings at the end there, we got a wee bit of luck.

Checked youtube, mcskimming was better than I remember Challenging for honors

I'd rather see us improve our game management, something we have been poor at for a while. GAs tactic of defending the box has worked the majority of times, and I guess we will need to get used to it, but I don't think it will ever fill me with confidence. Grimshaw has always been effective at pushing us up the park, and has the work rate that will endear a player to our fans. I agree with the need for a left sided midfielder, which would give us some decent flexibility and balance. Woolery looks like he has the pace to breeze past defenders at will, and uses his strength well, but for some reason he is really negative. Maybe he needs a goal or two, but that effort after being put through by grimshaw was poor. Amaluzor caused their defence some trouble, and it will be interesting to see how he progresses.

Watt was good when we got him into the game, but we didn't do that often enough. Finding a forward line that clicks with him is going to be key to our season. Lamie was solid again. When he stays on his feet and cuts out the nonsense, I almost like him. Went with Grimshaw mainly because he scored, that last ditch block near the end, and the story.

Better performance, great comeback, nice gesture at 34 mins, and Liam Fucking Grimshaw. Have a nice weekend.

Look, Donnelly and Maguire are defenders who play in midfield and aren't available for some reason. Therefore, one of those CBs is a midfielder today.

We are investing all over the place right now, so the community work isn't taking away from our squad improvements, academy, pitch improvements, stadium improvements, and everything else. I'm going to have a guess here, but I'm pretty sure the money we spend on players eclipses that which goes towards community stuff. We also receive funding for those programs from elsewhere. I don't get where the apathy thing comes from, are there any actual examples of apathy from the club towards football operations? We don't know what goes on inside the club all day long, so how do we know that they aren't working every hour trying to improve the squad? The struggles in the transfer market are well documented, we could funnel every last penny we have into player salaries and it still won't move the needle, players don't come to us for the money, so we have to be creative.

Can he take corners?

SOD Playing hardball. Which is fair enough, he can always fall back on the security of a 2 year deal with us.
