What a coup for Sky. Only another 3+ weeks of this standard in the spotlight to endure before Sky can show face again with the return of EPL,where the interest has fallen over the last few years for many viewers. They must be delighted whereas their rivals at BT are having to put up with covering the conclusion to Champions League & Europa League from QF stage in a festival of "real" football.

Selfish irresponsible wankers You would think, but if all tested negative then I won't get my knickers in a twist. 22 plus players just ran about, tackled and made contact with each other then all went in a changing room. If going on your theory that they can test negative but have it, then football shouldn't be allowed, no contact sports should be. If football is allowed due to the testing, then by default contact is. Still a bit daft from the manager- no awareness , but folk are learning, old habits die hard n' all.

Gorillajam Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Dire match and was not a good indication of Scottish football. I thought Ali McCann was poor along with Callum Hendry. I've watched St Johnstone a few times this season. They've drastically fallen in quality since the departure of Tommy Wright. Defensively they're abysmal. I predict Callum Davidson to get the sack soon. The young lad Campbell was hopeless. Can't believe he's a footballer. Ojo was a good laugh. Aberdeen looked unfit/lacking match sharpness. They were able to switch half the team with decent subs that made the difference. I actually think they'll come good as the season goes on. Considering they hadn't beaten St Johnstone last season not a bad result for them. Whenever I watch Aberdeen, Livingston, Hibs, Motherwell etc. on the tv, I just wish we could get our s**t together. The potential we have as a club would blow them all out the water if we could just fulfill it. I don't believe Aberdeen or Hibs are that far ahead. A couple of decent transfer windows and we could get ahead of them. I think Gogic, Wright and Nisbett are all massively overrated. Too much of a lovefest for Nisbett. Barring the Livingston match he looks lost in the SPL. Edited August 21, 2020 by Gorillajam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is that by and large top flight Scottish football is no better in quality or entertainment than league 1 or 2 in England, and that's being kind. Lots of it is more national league level. But it's to expected when the money being spent in those leagues is probably more than most teams manage up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the lack of money so teams are recruiting from English Leagues 1&2 or misfits from Europe. Money is thrown at the EPL and Championship for them to invest in players but we are told to somehow generate a decent product before the TV companies get interested. But we are poorly marketed, it has to be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Although our league is robust, the games in general aren't any worse than the championship ones I've seen Direct about covers it and it is largely about second balls. Always has been tho, that hasn't changed in my life time. Watched a few epl games as well for the first time - Leceister - Bournemouth stood out. 2 own goals. 1 pass pack leading to a goal And to top it off a goal kick that the gk smacked of his centre half's back that then led to a pk. Comical stuff. Pretty. Sure I watched a bit of a Brighton game as well- awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpship Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Didn't watch the game last night but heard it was atrocious. The damage top league us doing to its self is mind blowing. Total incompetence of those running the game. The quality of football on offer turning away investors, advertising. Clubs spending but no fans paying to get in. Be interesting to know what other clubs are doing about season tickets. Are they reimbursing fans for games they can't attend? So every game they play without fans, it will be costing them huge amounts of money. That is clearly not sustainable. I see that Lawwells pupet Doncaster had been out shouting the game is doomed if there's another lockdown. I expect celtic will soon ramp that up.. Does it all hang on fans retuning in September?

They've already moved the Rangers match as far back as they could, without much thought for the other Premiership teams or the "big" kick off of the lower leagues, which could be enough of a damp squib as it is.

Anderson5 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Had the misfortune of watching the game last night. However, I thought that the EPL and German leagues were also really poor for the first few weeks back until they got match fit. Aberdeen would have been lucky to score 0 after 75 mins. However, the sad truth is that with half their team missing and lack of match sharpness they managed to do in 90 minutes what we haven’t done in 18 months and win a league game outside of Edinburgh. It also surprised me that despite being at fault for their own Covid-19 outbreak and rightfully getting a kicking in the press, McInnes has managed to use it to create a siege mentality in his squad.

Mikey1874 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Others have rightly commented on how bad the game was. A couple of comments. The game was rubbish because McInnes' Aberdeen play a stodgy, stifling game. I bet their forums had a lot of familiar complaints at 0-0. Liam Gordon was released by Hearts. I was surprised Tommy Wright took him on. But he did a lot right. Tidy. But that must be the worst touch under pressure to give away the goal. It's a big concern if that is the level of footballer making up teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
