    Robinson gave Grieve a new contract and has spoken highly of both Main and Brophy since he came, and has played them both regularly. 

    What do you expect him to say of Main and Brophy. With the contracts they have it would be difficult to offload them atm. Given the squad he inherited and bringing in Ayunga, not much scope left for another striker.

    Grieve has potential.

    Ayunga is better than all 3 of them IMO.

    I know its really difficult to find these type of players at our level but Robinson's contacts and knowledge of lower league England are good and I think he'll be on the lookout for another striker come the next 2 windows. Given the contract side of things its probably likely that Main will leave first.

    When Main and Brophy played against us I was never bothered as they showed nothing each time. Not seen a great deal to change my mind in the time they have been with us ?

    Well , apart from when they damn near bumped into each other in the build up to the goal 😉

    I must say, I am still not a fan of Main , despite his improvement under Robinson and I don’t think he and Ayunga will be that elusive pairing . 

    The only one of them I rate is Ayunga. Robinson's recruit. For me Brophy, Main and Grieve will not provide the goals we need. They are Goodwin's recruits and I think in time Robinson will offload them. Prepared to give Brophy a bit of time now he is fit to see if he cuts it with Ayunga but for me up till now he has been nowhere near good enough for the wage we are paying him. Lets see how many actual goals Brophy contributes and forget any pens he may take.

    January could be interesting on that front.

    One thing that never seems to be mentioned is that there are simply too many people living in the UK, now! As the population continues to increase, so will the demand for electricity, gas and housing. There will be greater strain on the NHS and schools, and more congested roads and parks.

     

    You could leave and help the situation 😉

    Sadly when i go back 30/40 years ago, i can only remember refs shafting us in cup games when playing the bigots   :rolleyes:

    True but we didn't have yellow cards for a ball blasted at your hand from a foot away or players have challenge with their hands behind their back.

    The pen awarded against Rangers in CL during the week summed it all up for me

    That Rangers semi decision will never be forgotten 😁

    What pisses me off is players being booked for accidentally hand ball in the box, where if it was outside only a foul would be given. 

    If it was deliberately then yes a booking.

    Wish we could go back 30/40 years where referees were allowed to use their own commonsense.

    Fans and media have caused the mess we have now

    A wee bit of perspective here. Aberdeen have pulled in £11m according to the Press and Journal and have spent over £2m in players. We have spent a token amount on Olusanya and the rest are free transfers. Yes, I am disappointed in the result but the early penalty and sending off changed the game. We played well last week against Motherwell and held our own second half today with 10 men. We still need another defensive midfielder in my opinion but it was always going to be difficult today. At least Killie, RC and Well all got beat. Those are the teams we need to beat.

    Perspective !! Why would you want to do that. Easier to sound off a pile of p1sh

    I struggle to see why Robinson is being shafted for Gallagher getting himself stupidly red carded and conceding a spot kick after only 23 minutes. Pittodrie is a hard ace to get a result at the  best of times. 

    Merlin the F**king Magician couldn't have turned the game in our favour after that happened , so why is Robinson getting such a doing on here ?

     

     

     

    Because thats what football fans do. Next week more of a marker for Robinson. 

    With the money Aberdeen have banked and the level of recruitment they have been able to make today was hardly a surprise when down to 10.

    We are not getting many breaks either.

    Thrilled for United?

    I hope they get absolutely scudded in the away leg and AZ take 4 or 5 of them.

    Pathetic, mind numbing crap !

    We need all teams in Scotland to be doing well in Europe and increasing the overall standard and view of Scottish football.

    The challenge for St Mirren is to get there too, not carp on the sidelines with nonsense like this.

    From what I have seen so far his distribution could improve - you are right there but little else to judge him on. Kelly on the other hand was severely tested and was certainly outstanding. I have a feeling that Carson will do well once he settles in.

    Carson is fine as a keeper, he was decent at Motherwell but he is not as good as Alnwick or Hladkey, so its the only position I don't feel we are as strong in this season.

    Annoying to lose that match, but we dominated it and have to put it down to poor finishing and brilliant goalkeeping. If we play every match like that we will be fine. Baccus is some find by the way.

    Baccus reminds me of how Dorman was when he first arrived. 

    All the new signings have added to the squad apart from Carson. 

    Think we might do ok under Robinson after all ??

    Do we know that Motherwell have approached the club? Do we know if Robinson would want to leave? Do we know whether or not our board, if they have been approached have agreed to allow talks to take place? My guess is that we don’t. It makes a good news story though and a good way to distract your upcoming opponents after going out in the first round in Europe.

    I did say "if its all true" ?

    I don’t think the cash is relevant, it would be the perception created by offloading a Manager prior to having given him a reasonable amount of League games.

    We wouldn't be offloading him. If its all true then Motherwell have approached the club about Robinson and he is willing to talk to them. So if Robinson is wanting to go back I would let him go and get in someone willing to take the club forward in a way that currently Robinson has patently failed to do up to now ?

    Also if this is true then I hope him and O'Carroll are on sick leave today !

    Not according to my Hibs supporting work colleague.
    He was absolutely rotten against us when Hibs beat us 1-0 at the end of April.
     
    Also, Hibs fans on P&B seem to be pretty unanimous regarding his level of performance overall.


     

    Wouldn't disagree on his performance at Hibs overall. I thought he started to pick up towards the last few games of the season and show what his potential is.

    Won't reach it though because in the end IMO he's not prepared to do the hard graft required to get to the top.

    I don't think he'd be a good signing for us though Robinson was getting the best out of Main

    He was shite at Hibs.

    Not once he got himself fit and got his head right !

    Ross binned him due to his lack of fitness and approach.

    Either a lesson learned or he'll keep on drifting downwards.

    So far for me a bit of a wasted talent although bad injury at Hull didn't help him

    Any ideas on the rumoured forward ? 

    James Scott. 

    We have already asked him a few months back and he didn't at that time want to join but that could change.

    Brophy has 2 left I’m sure, I’m hoping for big things from him this season, Robinson rates him, I think he’s going to be a lot fitter this season.

    Well given what we are paying him we need him to produce because up to now its not been value for money. 

    The form that Main showed at the end of last season and Grieve in general means that Brophy will need to show a lot more than he has up till now.

    Again Goodwin's approach may have been an issue.

    Here's hoping we see a lot more from Brophy this sesason.

    I’ll take those odds!

    Robbo seems to be able to get more effort from Main, in fact his performance against St.Johnstone at the end of the season was one of his best in a Saints top.

    I don't agree on the effort, although many make that comment.

    For Main has plenty of desire, its just that Goodwin's approach to using him finished him.

    Robinson know how to play him to his strengths.

    Be interesting to see how the sterile tactics Goodwin used at SMFC endear him to Dons fans, having said that I think he'll be more expansive at Aberdeen.
