Captain America

Watch the highlight then. He clearly pushes Butcher with his palm. It's soft but they are given all the time.

Rooney can't get involved with Butcher like that. Advantage was given to the defender and he made the most of it. Rooney pushed him in clear sight of the ref, soft but those are given every week.

Good game overall both with a clearance off the line.

Mince goalkeeping on both sides as well.

Donervon Daniels has played numerous times at an arguably higher level than Aberdeen play, so I think McInnes will play him from the start tomorrow, with Considine reverting to left-back. It's already established that Hayes is more effective further forward, and we'll need his energy across more offensive areas - with a more advanced starting point on transitions. I agree with Milner regarding Reynolds' unfamiliarity in the right centre-back position, and it's very apparent Ash Taylor and Shay Logan have built a good partnership on the right side of defence, so let's hope Daniels and Logan can work similarly well. Reynolds and Considine on the left of defence has looked brilliant for the most part this season, so that will be a consideration of McInnes' as well.

 

20,000 Aberdeen tickets sold; it'd be great if United take a huge contingent down too - do we have any reports on how many have been sold by United?

 

Read we sold 8-10k.  No official numbers released by the club.

It's not too bad to be honest would be nice to match Aberdeen's big sales but we just don't pull the same size of crowds.

I dunno if I'm being suckered in by a clever agent/marketing guy but the statement by Josh Gordon reads very well.

It does sound like he's made mistakes but sometimes has been a victim of circumstances and his own mistakes (as he admits).

Ignore that, I got trolled from twitter, its from last year.

The defender comment still stands, hope the new guy plays and isnt up to speed.  Otherwise your defence is way better than ours and that could be the difference.

Jack injured? since when? 

I just read it on BBC, could be wrong?

I'm excited for the game.  Not very confident though, big games like this our defensive deficiencies really should come back to haunt us.

Hoping with Jack injured and Taylor out you'll throw in your new defender and we can try and outscore you.

I'm tempted to try this, fifty sounds hard for me.  Maybe a 30 book challenge.

Just about finished my first I started last Friday.  It's Terry Pratchett though so I'm not exactly making it tough for myself.

Phil Neville said on MOTD he'd like to two foot Rosiky for his no look pass in the Brighton game...

Chiles and Townsend gone from ITV.

The footballing gods are generous.

um...

Did not think Burley would go through with that.  It looks pretty terrible as well...

It's weird for me, in the 2000s I liked the Seahawks, they were usually my Madden franchise.

However since they started getting a glimpse of success the johnny come lately fans are unbearable.  They're practically Man City.

Also the 12 man thing is wanky as fuck, the crowd was awful in the NFC championship game.

I hope the Pats bend every rule to beat the Seahawks in the Superbowl.

Kane has been pretty good points, he was only like 5.4 when I bought him.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who dun goofed and made Harry Kane their captain.

Can't bloody trust Spurs.

Kubiak off to the Broncos - baws...

Read it's between you and one other team for Adam Gase though.  Silver linings...

 

The Seahawks' 2 point conversion near the end was ridiculous.

 

That lost them the game more than the stupid onside kick fail in my opinion.  Haha Dix just stopped playing defence on his man and he caught that ridiculous looping pass from Wilson.

Mental, Packers deserved to lose for that second half display.

Jesus Christ the Packers should be embarrassed.  That second half game plan was a joke they didn't even give themselves a chance on most of their drives.  

They played don't lose offence and lost.

Yaaaaaaaaas!

I think he'll probably play pretty regularly. Tonev and Wakaso are on loan, and Forrest is injured half the time. Should he prefer to play in the middle, no-one's sure what's happening with Commons, so he may be a replacement. Could've used him now rather than summer to be honest.

Between GMS's injuries and Forrests you'll probably have a winger for half a season out of them.

Sad to see him go but knew it was coming, was just hopeful he wouldn't go to either of the old firm.

Wasn't Emmanuel Frimpong the new Patrick Viera? This guy can be the new Emmanuel Frimpong.

Frimpong was really talented.  Shame he seemed more interested in being DENCH than improving as a footballer.
