A majority that size and bae even two years down the road we're looking at this. That's political incompetence on a Liz Truss scale.

I think you're fully justified. The club talk about "loyal fans" a lot, but they have been at it for years in trying to skim as much cream off the top as they can. Not looked at Hearts' season ticket prices for next season yet, but they were on average £150 cheaper than us this season. In addition, previously when we've had European qualifiers, we've often been more expensive than other clubs.

I'm fully aware I'm getting more cranky with each birthday that passes by but surely my latest peave is justified. Went to get a ticket for the Livingston Friday night game. £3.50 to have it posted or £2.50 to collect it from Pittodrie. No thanks.

Queen - Seven Seas of Rhye

Not the most educated slice of the electorate I suppose.

Absolutely! My point is that there are good players in our league that can do a job for us. Those two will move on to bigger and better things, but I’d expect O’Hara and Martin to be an upgrade on palaversa and yengi for example, theyd improve our squad. i think it’s a fair comparison with those two and devlin. By no means glamor signings but could certainly do a job for us. We pretty much need an entire new team that adding some players who are SPL proven and have a history with our manager is worth something.

I'm nae wanting any more die hard Tims at the club.

fukin hell I hope that is just that rag of a paper spouting some pish. We would be better off going after and trying to sign Susan fkn Boyle ffs

Echo & The Bunnymen - Seven Seas

Reckon the ship sailed on both Watson & Graham a very long time ago. Would love to be proved wrong but think it is highly unlikely. On the subject of St Mirren players, I would take Phillips. Robinson seemed to get a tune out of him that we previously couldn't What about thon marauding loon on the right hand side, something Richardson thinks he is called Can't really speak for the Perth Saints boy you mentioned as not seen much of them on TV this season.

The Clash - The Magnificent Seven

Yes they are. I'm not sure either are in the same league as Devlin was when we signed him. Are they even St Mirren's best players? Or just the most available? I'm not saying we shouldn't sign them. It would be nice if our pragmatic signings were Graham and Watson, but I don't think either will end up here, and so I'm fine with the two Saints lads. On the subject of the other Saints (Johnstone) lads, I'd say that the big lad Diabate at the back fits the bill for a Robinson side. Aggressive and strong. Capable of a mistake, but decent enough.

Graham & Watson are a completely different proposition to O'Hara or Mandarin

I’ve always thought that too. Funnily enough, the one group of people who would be very well represented in an independent Scotland, would be the Huns. They just can’t see by the apron though

It’s incredible that they have gone from 35% in the polls for the national vote post UK election to now. They are being hampered by SKS performance and it’s interesting how they have tried to distance themselves from the UK party. In a way, independence would be the best thing to happen to the Labour Party in Scotland, or whatever iteration of centre left they devised. I suspect the majority of Scots want that and the SNP have been very effective at filling the gap but success in achieving independence could weaken their wider case for government once it happened.

I’m not convinced ‘Scottish’ Labour are even going to be a thing after the election. The unionist hun voters that held their nose, can now cheerily jump to Reform. That is incredibly bad news for them. ‘Only Labour can stop the SNP’ doesn’t have the same ring to it when you’re polling 5th

As said previously, SKS is the patsy in waiting for the bloodbath of the May elections. I’m not fully convinced by Burnham, great mayor doesn’t necessarily translate to PM but he’d certainly be able to tell a story and therefore sell an ideology in a way that SKS fails to do so he would engage people. When SKS goes, suspect we’ll see the usual Labour Party trick of eating itself up through its own arsehole. Will be interesting to see who capitalises best. In Scotland it’s going to be the nationalists, despite not being overly popular as a government. In Wales it’ll be the same. England I have no idea but I quite like Polanski so hope he makes some waves.

It will get forgotten about in all the fall out but at the very beginning of this story, there was a competent woman already in the job

If Burnham had stood in the Gorton by-election, the outcome would have been different. The Labour vote would have held up on the day and he would now be their MP. I understand why it didn't happen, but suspect Burnham will be Labour leader at some point soon, or at least be back as an MP.

Alarm bells should have been ringing all around Westminster if Farage agreed with the appointment of Mandelson. It was very poor judgement though, and Starmer shouldn't be in his job, as he was ball deep in an appointment that was only ever going to end one way.

With you on this Al. We know how this pans out if we sign them. It's the Aberdeen way.

Hard no from me. Name alone isn’t a footballer, sounds like the neighboring town of camberwick green.

I don’t see it that way. Last few windows we’ve gone for complete unknowns, including guys who haven’t played much mainly due to injury, youngsters with potential, or guys in their early 20s who were good in their late teens but haven’t kicked on. Very few have worked out. id compare O’Hara and mandron to signing the likes of Nicky Devlin, maybe a mark reynolds, willo flood, even Adam Rooney. Picking up the better players from within the league isn’t a bad thing. Look at graham or Watson, both on poor teams but will be good signings wherever they go. ohara and mandron would also bring some much needed experience. Throw in some foreign talent this summer too, but it has to be a balanced window, again where we’ve failed, can’t be a bunch of unknowns who have never been to Scotland, never mind Aberdeen.

Dunfermline have a few youngsters who have caught the eye in recent weeks.

Said this at the time when a friend asked me why they appointed him, my response was because he speaks fluent grift. Fighting fire with fire. Still a honking decision.
