First of third round ties on BBC Scotland tonight. Weather a bit shite so decided just to stick with TV.

Hope you didn’t think my post was aimed at you DJ? My let’s not was aimed at the new poster bringing up AFC Chat. No idea what that post was about but don’t think it was aimed at you good Sir.

No chance! There is only one football. My boys were born in LA and I lived there 17 years, the only American sport I’m really into is the NBA and the lakers, but my older son has one laker top and three Aberdeen tops.

should be looking at the Motherwell manager

Not sure who else heard the craic on Radio Scotland about 10.50 last night when they started talking about the upcoming transfer window and what we would be needing to recruit then. Tom English said he knew that we were looking at a box to box midfielder, a central defender and a striker. Hardly things that any of us wouldn't have come up with, but he was suggesting we should be looking at Masawanhise from Motherwell. Ever fearful of the last striker we got from them, what are folks thoughts on this one

When he asked for a football top,he probably meant more Miami Dolphins,Dallas Cowboys ish.Nicely guided back from obscurity

The Kinks - You Really Got Me

Three signings are essential. Left mid, right mid, two legit wide players, and a Rama center mid. Add the legit center mid and we might get the most out of Clarkson. The more I think about it, he’s not too different from Kenny McLean, and is he can thrive in the SPL, do not see why Clarkson can’t. Play karlsson at 10 in a free role rather than out wide.

Just catching up on this one. Agree with E.D you have nothing to apologise for Don Julio

What are you apologising about?

True,Robson and Flood for eg lifted a pretty dull side at that time.Now that we appear to have a proper recruitment man in place, lets see what he can muster in Jan before we right abdy off

John Otway and Wild willy Barratt - Really free

Absolutely impossible to predict. While we aren’t crap for an entire game, I can only think of one game, Dundee at home, where we played reasonably well for most/all game. i think this is a biggie, although they all seem to be these days. Dundee livi killie st Mirren below us, killie can beat utd, livi beat us, and Dundee play st mirren. Bottom 4-5 could get more compact. above us, I predict wins for Celtic rangers and hearts, so a win for us brings us closer to the immediate teams in the top half of the league. win lose, it’s 50/50, heart says 2-1 us, nisbet and karlsson.

Apologies - thought that was common parlance. I stand corrected. And slightly less free.

The Smiths - William, It Was Really Nothing

The problem is we have a number of players like he go that need moved on. We have very few must keep players. The squad overhaul we just did needs an overhaul! Any money offered for yengi milanovic Ambrose Nilsen gyamfi palaversa , even Jensen, should be jumped at.

Jimmy's team travel to the Home of the Set Fare Arena in Livingston for a Sunday game at 3 pm. Livi are bottom of the league and desperate for a win. I don't think they'll get one, but neither will we. I fancy a boring 0-0 draw.

He’d probably be a decent battering ram in lower league Englandshire. Was never going to turn out to be Ronaldo or even Tommy Wright but wonder how different it might have been if we’d had a proper summer recruitment window. Didn’t have to throw him in from the start every week cos we’d no bugger else. He could have been dropped and eased in rather than become the focus because he was all there was. Treatment of him by many was OTT. Summer window (including mysterious lack of warm up matches) really was a shit show. Hope to hell new regime is better.

This thread was started in 2010. We’re all here as opposed to that other place for a reason. Let’s not eh?

manager is totally useless we win the odd game by a mixture of good fortune & the law of averages how much are we wastin on Yengi wages & the variety of other duds at the club

Is this thread an AFC Chat tribute act

Jason Donovan - Nothing Can Divide Us

Would love to know who's interested, and why. He's not as shite as Calvin Zola. That's how I'd advertise him. He actually just looks a bag of nerves, rather than a horrendous footballer. Good to get him out the door though, and hopefully it'll be the first of many, as that needs to be a priority. Yengi, Ambrose, Besuijen, Clarkson, Palaversa, Nilsen all need to be moved on, with a view to loaning out Milanovic and one of Gyamfi or Molloy. If they can save money by sending Karlsson back, then they should too.

JT is responsible for the signings. However, whoever gave him responsibility for the signings is the one at fault! McInnes would get bogged down in transfers too, and insist on pish like Tansey because of a couple of good games against us. It's completely understandable, because when you have so many responsibilities, you either have too much focus on one area, or not enough. A sporting director should be there to ask the guys in recruitment and management the sort of question a child might, because often people will struggle to explain their workings. They can force a manager or scout to pull back from looking at the individual player, and address how they fit the wider whole. That clearly wasn't done in any of the windows since McInnes left (and definitely wasn't whilst he was here), and I think it has cost managers their jobs, and will probably cost JT his. If Thelin fails, it's because we've created the conditions for him to do so, just as we did with Glass, Goodwin and Robson. They all might have failed anyway but they've been setup to increase the chances. Hopefully the penguin fucker is sitting down with Thelin and asking him what he's actually trying to do. Managers seem to get lost at times, and running back through what they're trying to achieve and how might just help them think their way out of the slump.

Fuck knows Jute but this is the fate that should await them if we are having to pay off the useless lump.
