Ronnie Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Don’t think it’s been mentioned but Goody’s decision to give Magennis the armband rather than Paul McGinn is a master stroke. McGinns a leader regardless but giving Magennis the captaincy means he knows himself that his standards can’t slip and he needs to maintain the level that we know he’s capable of. Right wing, left wing and central mid yesterday. Outstanding performance from him yesterday. Expecting a big season from him now. Except the pass when 3 on 1.

You see the flaw in that point you, and others make is that it undermines your position if you say "we could have scored three" because obviously we didnt! We missed the target! Durmus headed over ftom six yards, McCallister fired over and wide from Distance, Andreu took his eye off the ball and it bounced off his shoulder. Durmus had his overhead kick, but it didnt trouble the keeper. Just like the ones Aberdeem missed. what i find amusing is people desperately unhappy by in this case me, or A.N. Other pointing out what happened in the game. We won, well earned win, three points and a clean sheet. But we lost last week, and there is another thirty odd games to go. All i suggested was dont feel its a crisis if we lose, or suggest we are invincible if we win one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were suggesting Saints were lucky because Aberdeen didn't put chances away. You were suggesting we were lucky because they weren't awarded a penalty while forgetting the were lucky we weren't awarded one. I was simply balancing your negative slant.

Wendy Saintss Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 They had DOUBLE our possession. Leicester City won the Premiership with less than 50% possession in nearly every game. It’s not who has possession that matters, it’s where the ball is that matters. And we had the ball in their net while they didn’t in ours! Their tactic of passing the ball along their defence may have got their possession % up but it didn’t get them any goals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense to me? we scored early, missed a couple of sitters, half worked their keeper once. They missed a couple of sitters, and should have had a penalty. We were better, more organised, patient and productive. But if you insist.. well hell it was a ONE NIL battering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 You are absolutely seething that you have nothing to moan about this week. Are you so tactically clueless that you think Aberdeen having more possession matters in the slightest? Cheer up and enjoy the win ffs.Says the guy with a thread moaning about the DoF failing!

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. Let's ALL enjoy the win. Including the DoF.

We need to get tbrough the first quarter to get an accurate idea of where we are at! Hibs were well off the form they showed last season, hence the drubbing they took against Sevco yesterday, and equally Aberdeen didnt show up till the second half, dominated the game hitting the post and Hladky tipping one over. They had DOUBLE our possession. next two games will be testing our resilience and ability to win games we are fancied in. A good performance against Sevco and a win at Livi will be good progress, and something to build on. Lose both and we will be no better than this time last season. the opportunity this season is that a few teams don't look to have settled down, and suffer if one player is out. That will pass iam sure, we need to take full advantage in the meantime. Next time we play the Dons or Hibs it will be a whole different ball game! savour the results, but keep it real! Theres a long road ahead. FFS. Just try and enjoy the journey. You never know, you might find it quite good fun.

The tip over the bar was going a clear yard over & Aberdeen hitting the post... well was them hitting the post. Absolute brazen double standards regarding your need for the negative. How is the flaw in his logic any different to the flaw in “Aberdeen didnt show up till the second half, dominated the game hitting the post and Hladky tipping one over” they dominated the game without forcing any real effort from the keeper.
