Six months since that wonderful day

I think I read Mowbray has been with us since April on a consultancy basis, would be interesting to know how much input he had to our summer signings. I think I also remember reading that the current Head of Recruitment is based in Portugal full time which doesn't seem to be ideal if the only time he spends with JT is on scheduled Teams calls.

For all the tedious shite we hear about JT "being backed", and big player budgets/spending a lot of money, we only had three signings on the pitch yesterday, and one of those is a loanee. The return has been exceptionally poor this summer, as expected. The sporting director and Mowbray only now joining has set us back a huge amount, and that has to be shouldered by Cormack. A total false economy spending a load of cash when you don't have the system in place.

3-5-2, 3-3-2-2, or 3-4-1-2. We played a 3-5-2 against Motherwell, with Karlsson and Lazetic central, but we quickly shifted back to the 3-4-3 because the midfield struggled (that was the game that Armstrong looked knackered anyway). In my opinion, the 3-1-4-2, with Clarkson (or Polvara if we must) sitting in front of the defence, with two in front would work nicely. Similarly, two sitting, with Armstrong ahead would work fine too. I'd argue that none of these work particularly well with Karlsson in the side, but I find it bizarre that we haven't tried any of these options when looking for something to change a game, instead insisting that Nisbet comes on as a lone striker in abject failure, every single time.

Tattie Cooper's birthday today. Would have been 62 Gone but certainly not forgotten Neale RIP

I can't agree with you on that BUS. He has to sit very deep, due to us playing not to get beat, but he still puts in a shift and does a lot of donkey work. Like you, I'd like to see two up front, but just don't see us having to personnel to change too much formation wise at the moment. If we could get out of our own half a bit more and better decision making in the final third, we may well see Lazetic and Nisbet score again. I fell sorry for Nisbet mostly. Gets chucked on for the final few minutes to chase shadows and that isn't what he is about. The guy who sits next to me in the South Stand goes way OTT in his abuse of Nisbet when he comes in. Just some folk you can't reason with.

Self Esteem - I Do This All The Time

Thelwell and Stewart punted at Mordor Hilariously Thelwell’s son who he appointed as Head of Recruitment appears to still be in situ.

No quotes but the bbc saying killie are ready to listen to offers for Watson. Would be a really nice pick up. We can compare how we developed Ferguson vs the diminished roles of Barron, Lyall Cameron, and Luke McGowan, but certainly tough to compete with the Glasgow two, plus I think he’s a rangers fan??

No. But you can say "it's" without it turning into "it?£!#s".

Brilliant news. Can you say bastard?

HI everyone At Donstalk, I found out I was a member here too, who knew, not me!?

Meant to add had forgotten what bigoted bastards there are in Hearts support. As vile as their Ibrox based cousins. Definitely not diets as folk call them.

Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time

Neil Young - After the goldrush

Show us your formation then if going 2 up top.

fk knows what happened with the size there (shrunk jist like ma willy with old age) Any way for fk sake Jimmy just start playing Lazetic and Nisbet up front ffs min jist fkn dee it

Was at both. Always felt that players were pissed off about way Thistle pissed about pretending to try and clear the pitch and took the frustrations out on them in replay. Was at 7-0 over Dundee as well.

Indeed it was . I was at the abandoned game but couldn't make the rearranged one.

The Clash - I'm Lost In The Supermarket

On this day in 1992, Aberdeen recorded their biggest-ever away win when they thrashed Partick Thistle 7-0 at Firhill. The scoreline was equalled on 31st March 2017 at Dens Park. The game had been rescheduled after the original was abandoned. I believe it was the famous incident when a member of the Firhill ground staff tried to clear snow off the pitch with a broken broom.

These lads are no mugs, but do seem to be toiling a little bit in their league with only one win in their last 5 matches We will need to play better than we did yesterday that's for sure which I am sure we are capable of. Going for 2-0 the good guys (Nisbet x2)

Helen Terry - Love Lies Lost

He'd have been a slightly better match winner if he hadn't missed the original header! As he did in the first half too. In fact, if you go through their chances, there was probably only one created from a good move (the lad on the left getting deep into our box before being crowded out). Milne got caught under the long ball in either half, Knoester did similar in the second, losing a ball he seemed to have under control, and then Devlin tried a difficult pass back instead of just clearing it for a throw. The rest of their opportunities came from set pieces (albeit there were maybe a couple of good moves to win corners).

Maybe if you would write bigger, then Thelin might hear you.
