MOTM Poll Aberdeen v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - Sky Sports

[CooperSF]

Great pre-match panel!

 

[Sir Walter’s Warriors]

McCoist and Boyd, with Darren Fletcher as the non-Ranger, better from Sky Sports.

 

[Hank_Marvin]

Call me skeptical but didn't Balogun just play in a Wigan side who got relegated? Hardly fills you with confidence.

Davis injured I take it?

You're skeptical.

They only got relegated due to a points deduction. Balogun went there in January and turned their season around.

 

[Boabski Bluenose]

Happy with that lineup

 

[MurtyMania]

Thought Edmundson’s pace would be handy today against Anderson tbh

 

[Steeps the Teddy Bear]

C'mon the Rangers , a victory is all the "people" require

 

[Hehaw]

4-1 to Rangers, Hagi x2, Kent x1, Borna x1. The sheep will score first.

 

[HandsomeHead]

Some laughed at me when I suggested Balogun would start.

He brings a wealth of experience if his CV is anything to go by

I think more than that he’s simply fresher.

He’s been playing competitive football for weeks now so should be up to speed in that regard.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Aberdeen actually have a decent squad.

 

[Draper1872]

I’m normally prudent but I do think it’s 4/5 - 0 today.

Still not convinced about the league but I’m watching today to be convinced.

The crowd effects the game and it doesn’t matter how many we outnumber them by home or away. When it’s 2 teams playing football with no distraction I think many will be surprised at the vast difference in quality.

These SPL teams are garage. Their players booze and take the easy route out. Play golf after training instead of further development.

 

[Broxi1985]

Did Goldson and Balogun play with each other at Brighton?

 

[The Gon]

Call me skeptical but didn't Balogun just play in a Wigan side who got relegated? Hardly fills you with confidence.

Davis injured I take it?

Balogun had the 2nd fewest goals conceded per minute for a centre back in the Championship last season.

 

[Main Stand]

I had a feeling Balogun would start but thought i was being mental.

 

[Realger34]

Like that team, cmon Rangers let’s pump f.uck out these cunts!

 

[CR5]

I think more than that he’s simply fresher.

He’s been playing competitive football for weeks now so should be up to speed in that regard.

Balogun will go on to be arguably the best CB at the club

 

[CooperSF]

That bench basically has a second back line.

 

[eastenclosurebear]

No concerns about Balogun, he should be 100% match fit with the season just finishing down south.

 

[Laird of lerwick]

We will coast to a 2+ goals win.

 

[Sir Walter’s Warriors]

Why the %^*& is Sutton on the build up to a Rangers game?

Edit ; I’m on BT Sports

Sky has Boyd and McCoist, with Darren Fletcher as the non-Ger, so looks a bit better.

 

[sh3lldon]

Im on Us to score 3 or more 7/4

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Very surprised to see Balogun start, though I did expect him to force his way into the team in a couple of weeks and prove difficult to shift. Other than that, exactly the team most of us expected and would have picked ourselves.

A win, any win, without injuries or cards will do very nicely.

Keep calm and slay the Sheep.

 

[GodStruth]

Any win is acceptable

 

[Main Stand]

I bought an ST on Thursday, how do i go about getting the pass. I know its been done to death here so apologies.

Only applies to home games if it's the rangers tv ST holder pass you mean.

 

[bluetonic]

Balogun and Morelos start.

Good line up

 

[bluetonic]

McCoist and Boyd, with Darren Fletcher as the non-Ranger, better from Sky Sports.

W@anker and Cocker commentary though?

 

[KGR98]

Not being funny but what are his weaknesses?

He's weak in the air doesn't have a great leap he could struggle against Aberdeens physical centre backs

 

[Kingdom Bear]

Sky has Boyd and McCoist, with Darren Fletcher as the non-Ger, so looks a bit better.

Fletcher is talking sense so far ... good addition

 

[SDF]

A 9 man bench and Jones is nowhere near it.

Tells us everything.

 

[AdiCR2]

9 on the bench and no real game changers, shows were maybe 3 or 4 light for the season.

 

[CR5]

He's weak in the air doesn't have a great leap he could struggle against Aberdeens physical centre backs

Have to caveat this by pointing out that Edmundson is significantly weaker in this area

 

[DoubleWhopper]

I find it astonishing when people say “Edmundson hasn’t put a foot wrong in pre season”.

Thats patently untrue. He casually passed the ball to the Nice players 4 or 5 times in dangerous positions. It seems to be his most glaring weakness.

 

[sw26]

Surprised at Balogun starting, although fitness shouldn’t be an issue as he was playing competitive football recently.

Good eleven, excited to get going again.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

Won't bother switching Sky on until kick off. Can't be arsed listening to them slavering on about the so-called ten.

 

[Nopapacnoparty]

Strong team. Looking forward to see Balogun.

 

[student_loyal]

Won't bother switching Sky on until kick off. Can't be arsed listening to them slavering on about the so-called ten.

My thoughts exactly!

 

[spaceman2]

The fact Jones can't even get on the bench and we've got 4 defenders there probably tells it's own story

 

[ricksen24]

Do we get UHD on sky sports

 

[Alvor]

Full crowd noises and singing, with addons where the volume is turned on the naughty words.
Then we'll be fined for said songs.

Nothing would surprise me less

 

[Mols 9]

Balogun had the 2nd fewest goals conceded per minute for a centre back in the Championship last season.

Probably because he hardly played.

 

[Main Stand]

Only applies to home games if it's the Rangers tv ST holder pass you mean.

So it does, sorry mate. Head is currently all over the place.

 

[student_loyal]

Probably because he hardly played.

Does. Not. Compute.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Jesus what an ugly mutant Hayes really is

 

[CR5]

I find it astonishing when people say “Edmundson hasn’t put a foot wrong in pre season”.

Thats patently untrue. He casually passed the ball to the Nice players 4 or 5 times in dangerous positions. It seems to be his most glaring weakness.

Edmundson needs a loan spell imo.

He is very clearly lacking experience and concentration

 

[student_loyal]

So it does, sorry mate. Head is currently all over the place.

NowTV pass or £9.99 on RTV if you take a brief holiday.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

9 on the bench and no real game changers, shows were maybe 3 or 4 light for the season.

Nonsense - there's four forward-thinking players capable of changing a game.

 

[Yer da]

Jonny Hayes in HD.

 

[davstr]

Jobby Hayes is one ugly bastard

 

[Chris the Bandito]

5 minutes in and Fletcher's voice is grating on me

Whole season of that

I actually think the 3 pundits have got a pretty good chemistry. I think Fletcher makes some good points and he comes across as quite a clever guy. McCoist has the personality and Boyd is a good foil for both, plus we know he's likely to tell t as he sees it whether folk on here agree with him or not - he's better on TV than as a columnist when his words aree edited.

 

[SDF]

Probably because he hardly played.

7 clean sheets in his 10 games for Wigan.
