In this weeks RedMatchday Magazine there is an in depth interview with Dominic Ball:

“It was tough at Aberdeen at first, mainly because I had not played for four or five months. I came up here and was not match fit. You can only get match fit by playing games, which I was not getting enough of. I was then ill for a while, so I did not feel settled. But since I came back after the winter break, everything has been great, my football, my happiness, my life.

“I was very intense during that period. I have come off it a bit now and tried to relax and enjoy it a bit more. I was maybe putting too much pressure on myself. I sat back one day and realised that if you are playing for this club, you must be a decent footballer. Just go out and enjoy it, go out and win games and enjoy that feeling. That mentality has helped me a lot”.

“I appreciate the support the fans have given me. I had not shown what I could do or what I was about when I first arrived at the club. Sometimes it is hard to change people’s impression and perception of you, but I think I have done that. I always give my all for the team and hopefully I can impress them even more this season”.

Plus: we put Joe Lewis on the spot with our goalkeeping quiz. Niall McGinn picks his Northern Ireland Dream Team. There are columns from Derek McInnes, Graeme Shinnie, Stuart Duff and Chris Crighton. And in the extensive history section the Former Players interview is with Theo Ten Caat who gives a very open and honest assessment of his spell in Scotland.
