Hopefully a massive COVID peak the night.  League over.  HEAR WE GO FOR ONE IN A ROW.............

Next hour or so, dont want to share a tainted title with anycunt that wins a 3pm kick off the day

[dougb 53]

Strong first half. Second 45 not great, but we won a difficult opening day fixture away to the  sheep. Something to build on,  I'd have taken one nil before kick off.

[CR3 12,722]

don't want to look into something daft here but anyone notice that handshake/exchange between Gerrard and Alfredo at full-time was a bit weird as fuck

Win is a win, take every game 1-0 from now on👍 but will most certainly have plenty of anxious periods to come as no able to kill teams off

I'd take it but we know it won't happen that way 

[JM1872 3,735]

Positives: Solid defensively, never gave much away, 3 points on the board, can see potential in the XI, Balogun probably as composed as he could be on his debut, Hagi & Kent could really push on this season

Negatives: we created pretty much nothing in the first 75 minutes, reverted to type v the low block & passing became sloppy in the 2nd 45

Delighted to be down the road with 3 points mind you.

One more fucking goal there and 4000 grand .This lot would make you weep 

Was there a cash out option?

[Supersonic 4,658]

Happy we won. Also happy to Kent on the score sheet!

I would've liked another goal to make it a bit more comfortable but all in all I thought it a lot more professional than the last few results up there. Seemed a lot less stressful and panicky at the back to me but maybe I've just had too many already 

All in all 3 points is the be all end all here for me.

We move on. Bring on the Zungu. 

Also, Considine is a filthy bastard.

[BlueKnight87 17,337]

How I felt times in that 2nd half. 

Good 3 points to start. Really impressed by Balogun. Looks like a good signing already. Him and Kent our best players today.

Wins a win but improvement still needed, Need to be consistent for the whole game, Far too much safe passing  and creating few  chances,  Play like that all the time and we will have inconsistent results guaranteed.

Still lacking fire power going forward.  

[BlueAvenger 10,331]

Fuckin terrible second half but I'll take a 1-0 win. Balogun played well.  We need more quality in the team and improve. Anyway well done Gers 

[shotstopper 765]

Aberdeen down to 10 men, no difference in the play. What a load of shite. A neutral would have switched off shortly after the goal. 

[bluenoz 31,049]

Not the best second half I must say.

Too many mediocre performances from Hagi, Borna, Tav & Jack.

As for Kamara, he does the job he is asked to do. Nothing more, nothing less.

Kent was my MOTM. Balogun looked great and Goldson has been excellent in all games so far.

[Laudrup1984 25,100]

Good result. Good win. Putting to bed our last few failures up there.

Good first half. Poor second half.

Kent carrying on his pre season form, scoring goals, creating chances, looking bright.

Balogun looks assured, composed and also has a turn of pace. Goldson solid too. Sheep offered nothing though so hard to judge.

Kent, Aribo, Morelos, and Hagi all showed flashes. A lot didn't come off, sometimes they tried to be too cute but I don't mind that, I like they are trying to make things happen. Just a bit more care at times needed. Certainly signs that this will get better in time. When they click they will be devastating (with or without Alfie IMO).

All in all, massive 3 points. We move on.

Lewis Ferguson will not improve our midfield.

Lewis Ferguson gets sent off in a Rangers jersey if he challenges like he challenged Goldson 

[B1872 20,856]

Think I need to hold my hands up when I slaughtered the signing of big Balogun - cunt was solid!

[ForeverAndEver 71,718]

Win’s a win. Balogun was brilliant. Need to replace Kamara

[Lord Lockin 3,913]

HORRENDOUS to  watch

Thats honky tonk. 

Especially with Aribo's chance at the end.

He looked the part for sure. Gerrard's selection justified.

Early days but nothing rushed about him. Quick, tall and good physique- plays with his head up too.

Balogun strolled that. Very composed 

And looked like he had a bit of pace that’s always welcome

[BlueAvenger 10,331]

Top of  the league during a pandemic so we should be handed the title now....

[MarcusDa Beasley 1,043]

No mention of Hayes booting Morelos other than McCoist mentioning how much he admires the wee wank a minute later. 

[STEPPS BOY 74,314]

Thought Kent and Balogun were excellent.

Got bullied in second half in midfield which is the same as last few years.

we need 4/5 signings if we want to win league.
