Tommie Hoban

[PondHopper]

He clearly has the talent. I hope he can stay healthy. 

[fine-n-dandy]

He’s not made of glass, however much you all think he is. He’s just been massively unfortunate with bad injuries 

 

he didn’t exactly have to over exert himself yesterday either.

play him v Livi. Fk McKenna. Just incase the new Livi striker is decent & if they sign Stokes. 
 

Hoban has been training just like the rest. Play the cunt.

Stokes is pish, no worries about that cnut.

[fine-n-dandy]

What’s he had? An Achilles, a couple of cruciates coupled with a couple of recurring knee injuries from them & of course the recurrence of his ankle. A hip injury & a shoulder injury.

he’s basically got over it all lol

 

just play the fkr. Last chance saloon for the poor cunt. He wants te play. Play him

I totally agree.

As I said before regarding Devlin, no matter how good he is whats the point in signing a player who can only play half the games. At a club like Aberdeen we need you fit and ready for each and every game otherwise you are no use. Delvin has played a total of 36 league games during his time with Aberdeen - he's been injured far too often and when he has played he hasn't been consistent enough. 

Taking McInnes' negative (cautious) tactics aside, the number of crocked players we've signed has been to the detriment of our past two seasons. Thats the clubs fault for not anticipating the inevitable injury list we've endured. Same applies to Hearts under Levein which saw them relegated. 

Say what you like about Taylor but upon his return he's been one of our most consistent defenders and he's barely injured. Same goes for Considine. 

If Hoban can't prove he's capable of playing a continued run of games without being injured then unfortunately I'd say we shouldn't be signing him. And I'm a massive fan our Hoban. I'd like to see him start ahead of McKenna against Livingston.

Better we find out now if he’s got the longevity to stay fit sooner than later.

No point wrapping him in too much cotton wool then he gets crocked after we sign him on in January 

sounds harsh but that’s life in football.

obviously not going to risk him if he has any actual niggles that may flare up his knees, or ankle, or hip (lol quite a list) but harsh reality is that if he came through last game without niggles & is fit to game on then it’s game on. Otherwise we don’t learn anything about his true fitness.

[daytripping]

He's slow and has had something like 7 surgeries, good player but time will tell if he can stay fit.

McKenna should play the next two as he'll be suspended for a few after that

Would I fuk. He is hopeless and kicks a ball the same as Taylor! Shite.

[aberdeen1970]

If Hoban is feeling no after effects then he should play.  

Wonder if McInnes will stick with his three at the back?  Bringing McKenna back would allow McCrorie into the centre of midfield alongside Ferguson. 

                       Lewis 

        Taylor    McKenna  Hoban

Kennedy  McCrorie  Ferguson. Hayes 

          Wright    McLennan  McGinn

Think he’ll play 4 at back as that’s what he started second half with & we scored in the 4-2-3-1.

I also think play safe with Hoban, as he’ll be needed to play a chunk of games potentially if McKenna gets a sizeable ban.

I prefer 4 at the back but he's a stubborn bugger and might think a few tweaks will make the difference, especially against a team who have been struggling so far. 

If McKenna is suspended next weekend we'll have Considine back by then.

Considine will be shifted to LB I’d think bearing in mind Hayes will be banned too

[daytripping]

David Winnie getting skinned by a hun with a 10 yard start still hurts my mind, prove me wrong Tommy.

[Tord31]

Sign him up long term. We have capacity to make a long term signing at the back as Hoban, Logan, Considine, Taylor and Devlin are all out of contract in the next 9 months. I think we should go for it. Risk vs Reward.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Aye certainly worth a deal till the end of next season anyway

Saw he dislocated a finger during the game yesterday. Why does this man fall apart so regularly?

[NEM]

Read the goal on Thursday is the only one we’ve conceded this season when Hobans been on the park - almost 600 minutes.

Hes a class act - hopefully we can get him on a long contract

[Sheepo]

Vital he is signed up long term fantastic player

[CityCentre]

Any word on an extension until June at the least, or ideally an 18 month contract?

Yes ,but they ticked the box for no publicity

[CalgaryDon]

He said in his RedTV interview that he wants to sign on for a few years allowing him to repay Aberdeen while giving him time to prove he is injury free.

I suspect a 2 year deal will be on the cards before to long.

[Tord31]

2.5 year deal hopefully. 

His value this summer will still be very minimal regardless of how well he does.

So the gamble should be to have him under contract the following summer. 

It might all go wrong but he might be worth a transfer fee in summer 2022

Or..... he goes on to have a ten year career with us as the dons are announced as the team of the decade 2030

[Tord31]

I love Hoban and cant wait to sign him on a three year contract.

Silly at the pen today though.

Elyanoussi certainly made the most of it as he realised he wasn't getting the ball

To be honest thought all 3 were stone wall penalties.

I'm not disagreeing.

1st Pen - Ferguson was very intelligent. He knew Ntcham would come steaming in behind and he played for the pen by slowing down and accepting the inevitable knock from behind

2nd pen - Contact was made, agreed, but Elyanoussi I thought through himself into Hoban's outstretched leg when he realised his touch was heavy and going straight to Lewis. He played for it and got it because there was contact

3rd pen - Again, there was contact after the ball was away so was a pen.

 

Fergie played for it and took the hit, McLennan was just kicked.

Looking back, in the modern game, Elyanoussi should have been booked for going in studs up

 

[Ten Caat]

Celtic's penalty was clear cut. Hoban to blame and the picture shows you why. It's claimed he can play anywhere along the back 4 because he's two footed. The clearance he should have attempted (or made to be brutally honest) was using his left foot

You use winking smiley, but studs up, launching his leg at waist height... looks a pretty clear free kick to AFC.

Scrub "looks".

It 100% is.
