What pish before and after? I assume they are chartering a flight which will take them straight back to Aberdeen. That's about as low hassle as you can get. We really molly coddle footballers far too much these days. Link to comment

They'll get on a bus at the stadium and be chauffeured to the airport where they will show their passports and get on their charter flight. They'll get a bite to eat, watch something on the video screen and probably have a wee nap before arriving at an empty Aberdeen airport where they'll get straight through passport control. Then they'll go to bed and have a wee lie in til lunchtime on Friday. Then no game until Sunday. They'll be fine. 3 Link to comment

I assume they are chartering a flight which will take them straight back to Aberdeen. That's about as low hassle as you can get. We really molly coddle footballers far too much these days. Pish like rehydration and replenishing electrolytes lost after strenuous exercise. Physiological disturbances in achieving this occur at high altitudes (as a frequent flier you must be aware that dehydration is pretty much the commonest side effect of air travel). Also flushing out high serum lactate is inhibited. Pish like lower oxygen saturations (your average plane pressurizes to a level equivalent to breathing the oxygen at 2 miles above sea level). Any injuries ideally receive oxygen at sea level concentrations at worst to optimise recovery levels. Hyperbaric oxygen improves healing time even more) Pish like disturbing circadian rhythms. And having to recover for another match 2 and a half days later......involving a fairly lengthy bus journey, albeit at much higher comfort levels than in a chartered aircraft. Stuff that no one gave a shit about in the 80s is now standard practice. Resulting in players of a much higher standard of fitness Link to comment

It's 4 hours to fucking Mallorca from Aberdeen on your holidays. Nobody considers that a long haul flight. You're totally over egging the effects of this flight. Link to comment
shooftahmooftah Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 So the breidablik manager thinks brown is a bully, then he should have kept his big Icelandic moo shut when lambasting Aberdeen’s tactics in the first game. Keep on bullying broon and kicking ass as long as your playing for the dons. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 You must be flying Buddy Holly airlines I go from Glasgow or Edinburgh. 2 hrs 30 tops. 15 minutes more from Aberdeen. You and I aren't athletes. You aren't running 6 miles plus, some of at full pelt and them jumping on a flight 2 hours later with fresh bruising and muscles full of lactic acid The flight is only part of the overall effects. None of which are conducive to the players performing to their optimal levels 60 hours later Link to comment

The ones that didn't might be in on the afternoon for a bit of light training. Then a good night's sleep on the Friday night. And then there will still be the best part of 2 days before they play Hearts. Saturday will be pre match prep as usual. And they're playing against Andy Halliday, nae fucking Cristiano Ronaldo. I'm not saying that those who travel and play 90 minutes won't be completely unaffected but we're talking about young, fit guys. And I'm sure the manager will mix the starting line up for the Hearts a wee bit as well. We've got a squad of 23 players. Link to comment

Kittybrewster Loon Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 1 hour ago, Ten Caat said: Aye I forgot that travelling across 3 times zones twice in around 36 hours, with a 90 minute game in between where the players run in excess of 6 miles and then fly home with any injuries picked up in tourist class pitch seats and with disturbed sleep patterns causes absolutely no adverse physiological effects whatsoever.... Let's break down what you have said:- ▪︎ Travelling across time zones - they will be there and back the same night, so not long enough to get used to a new time zone. Makes no difference to Sunday. ▪︎Having to play 90 mins of football/run 6 miles - That's their job. ▪︎ Go home sitting on seats injured - is that not a risk with EVERY game we play? Players get injured sometimes. It happens. I think plane seats are more comfortable than you're average coach seat anyway. Stop writing Glasses excuse book for him ffs Link to comment

OnceFaeMintlaw Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Scott Brown: After leaving Celtic, the Aberdeen midfielder wants to 'prove you all wrong' again - BBC Sport Good article. I particularly liked the following quote: "I was never one to run and get a strip from other players. 'Please, sir, can we swap shirts?' I've never done it. I wouldn't speak to them in the tunnel, I wouldn't help them up off the floor if I fouled them, I wouldn't speak to them after the game. That was my way of getting through. No respect," I'm really, really glad we have him here. Link to comment

Hated him for it when he played for Celtic, but everything you need in a captain in your side. 100% focus on winning and his own side, none of the bullshit.

Scott Brown in a nutshell. I get hit and I get up and go again. Running across the pitch with three of four of them chasing after me. Meanwhile elsewhere on the pitch our unmarked centre half just passed to our unmarked winger who crosses for our unmarked left fucking back whos pissing ran from our own bastard half to smash it into the roof of their net. THATS why he was so effective. Link to comment
