Partick Th And Aberdeen And News Catch Up

 
Aberdeen 1, Dundee 0, Pittodrie Stadium, Ladbrokes Premiership, 22-January-16

Dundee lost 1-0, l missed it due to work after the game got moved to the Friday Night for live TV. Adam Rooney scored after 13 minutes. Given the highlights I have seen Dundee were pretty poor and were lucky it was just 1-0. Scott Bain made some great saves which is the normal for our young keeper. Gary Harkins could have snatched a draw near the end, but his effort went over the bar.

Dundee: Bain, McGinn, O'Dea, Konrad, Holt (Kerr 51), Stewart, McGowan, Ross, Low (Loy 73)

Spanish striker Arturo impressed during a short trial period with the Club last week and following a return to Spain the clubs have agreed a deal which will see him at Dens Park until the summer.
26 year old Arturo had an impressive season with La Roda in the Spanish third division in 2013/14 an earned a move to Córdoba who currently are on course to promotion to La Liga in 2nd place of the Spanish second tier. Arturo flew into Scotland today to complete the deal.


Partick Thistle 2, Dundee 4, Firhill Stadium, Ladbrokes Premiership, 16-January-16

Dundee beat Partick Th 4-2 with a fine first half performance sealed the three points for the Dark Blues. They took the lead from the penalty spot after Gary Harkins was fouled in the box. Kane Hemmings stepped up to score with ease. It was 2 nil a couple of minutes later when a high ball was dropped by the Jags keeper and Gary Harkins knocked the ball into the empty net. Minutes later and it was 3-0 good play from Harkins played in Greg Stewart who curled the ball home with a trademark finish from the young striker. Thistle did pull a goal back to make it 3-1, but Gary Harkins scored likely the best goal of the day when he curled the ball home for a truly wonderful goal.

4-1 at half-time the game was over and second half Dundee were in total control Thistle did score in the last minute to make the final score 4-2 to the visitors.
