Read my comment again... There's a key word in there at the end of the sentence.

There's some shaky-cam footage of the game and goals on this lad's YouTube channel http://youtu.be/eqz3n9GI-Lo

Nursing a groin injury from what I've heard

Really strong performance last night. One of the things I noticed was how many of our goals came from drilled crosses into the box, after the winger went beyond the last man. With a left footer (Williams) on the left and a right footer on the right (Doran/Ross), it suited our play better than the swapped wing alternative we've gone with in previous seasons. Still not sure if Vincent is the man to link midfield and strikers, but he offered a strong tackle and simple pass, in addition to a good shot when given the chance. The defence were rock solid, with lots of communication. I'd hate to play against Meekings and Warren, it'd be like going up against a brick wall! Brill didn't have much to do, but was very vocal and looking to get play started quickly. As many have said, this looks like our first 11 for the opening game; minus Polworth for Draper or perhaps Williams for Ross/Greenhalgh. Both players did really well tonight though, so would be unlucky to drop out in my opinion. I also have big concerns about how often Esson has been injured in the last 6months, so Brill better be ready to step into the No1 role if needed!

Boost, should manage the Dons v ICT game on the 6th (assuming it'll be somewhere in Abdn)

What time is ko?

Train; 3.33pm down and 10.27pm back

I'll be there and will aim to do Twitter updates

7-2 Dons full time. Check my twitter feed if you want a bit more detail on the game www.twitter.com/RossP_ict

2-1 Dons HT

7pm

I'll try and make the 12pm one tomorrow... if I've recovered from jet lag by then (and the weather's nice)

I'm reading 'The numbers game, why everything you know about football is wrong'... and it outlines the stats from scoring after crossing a corner into the box and they are pretty minuscule! It suggests that there is a much greater opportunity to score by playing it short and attacking the goal by passing.

If you get the chance, go give me a text with the FT score and scorers. I'll likely struggle to get access to the Internet whilst away this weekend.

Or G.Shinnie?

I quite liked Kevin McCann; scored a peach of a goal v Dundee United if I recall correctly. I've somehow eliminated Steve Williams from my memory! Even looking at his player image on google doesn't ring any bells! Who did he score his 2 goals for us against?

Cant find any confirmation that his contract has expired or has been released. Would love to see him at the club and there have been rumours for a while that we have spoken to him. Always a possibility that his contract will expire at the end of June and will then speak to clubs. Going by what the press is saying today then Terry has identified and spoken a target and is awaiting word back however a signing is unlikely to be made prior to pre-season training starting on Thursday. He has been released And signed for Stenny again according to his Twitter

Well... that's me just bought flights. I just need to work out how to tell the girlfriend I'm going now...

SPL? That's so last season... we're now talking about the SPFL* *or something like that.

For a minute I thought you were meaning Shinnie and Reguero there! Didn't think he impressed enough to displace Reina, Cassilas, de Gea, Valdes et al. I forgot about the potentially departing OTJ...

He's a better keeper than Fraser in my opinion. At least Gallagher wont be as match sharp perhaps...

Shane with the 2nd and an O.G for our first (according to Dons twitter). Looks a very young and inexperienced Dons team from the lineup posted. No idea what our team is...

Give me a shout if you need an extra player. I'm itching to add a goal to the 2 assists in the Fans v Legends match the other month!

Any sign of the DVD/highlights?

More column inches about Doran and Raven hopefully signing up: http://m.scotsman.com/sport/football/spl/caley-pair-set-to-sign-1-2876144
