Anderson developed into a good leader but it took him a few seasons

Don’t agree. Neither were ever big girls blouses. Russell was never a traditional hard man, but he developed as a footballer as he had the technical aspects to his game - timing headers / tackles / read the game well etc. Led by example rather than aggression. Wasn’t scared to stick his head in where it hurts though. Considine wasn’t as good a player as Russell, but was still good in the air and also not scared to get stuck in...

Hibs make it three defeats from three for the new boss. Luckily for him, they've got us soon.

Russell Anderson and Andy Considine fit the bill I’d say.

I have to ask, how pray tell do you “develop aggression”? Its an innate individual characteristic, you’ve either got it or you don’t - and Milne don’t got it, along with myriad other flaws that mean he’s miles off the level for this league. I can’t think of a single case of a player who started out as a big girls blouse who turned into a hard man. Happy to be corrected of course…

He's 23 might want to get on with that. But yes Gocic is horse wasn't suggesting him just think Scottish centre halves should look like they belong in the "in court today" section of the paper Rather than deliver them.

So Mayo is out for 2 months Happe is suspended Knoester away for a scan on Monday so we can pretty much forget him for this. Tobers - aye, well its Tobers. So Milne & Molloy at CH it is. No choice in the matter. Guaranteed Muller & Cadden will be back there too. Games a bogey lads. No danger we’re beating the hun down there with that at the back. Would make the Scottish cup miracle look like nothing special at all…

There's been a few fluff pieces about Tobers recently so hopefully he will be back soon and we can hopefully see how good a CB he actually is.

Sore one to lose that. There was plenty to like about the performance basically up until we equalised, after that we just seemed to stop doing everything we had been good at doing and handed utd the points. Had the fear the moment I saw Knoester was out and whilst his replacement did ok I don't think we lose that if he played. 1st goal is a 2 deflection freak that is just bad luck, these things happen and I thought we responded really well to that 2bf, but goals two and 3 are very avoidable. Caddens focus is too much on being physical and not enough on the actual flight of the ball and the third we are just wide open. There were some positives. Ronan actually imposed himself on the game at times, Nisbet and Mouloua showed a few wee signs of developing a partnership and overall the times we took the game to Utd we were causing them problems. I'm more frustrated than deflated at this moment in time 2bh

Gogic is horse though, and has probably been as responsible for his team's goals conceded as Milne this season. Milne just needs to develop his aggression, it'll probably come, he's still young. I would say the allowed goal yesterday was very good striker play, but the disallowed goal was classic Milne. He shouldn't be playing as part of a four unless at fullback, and in fairness to Robinson, he seems to know this. I guess we just have to cope with it whilst injuries dictate.

Watching Milne I can understand the requests for Gocic. Milne is not suited to SPL football. Devlin might be short but he would put anything in the way of a strike at goal. Milne looks like he shuts his eyes and at the St.Johnstone penalty he looked like Daphne Broon seeing a moose. Sorely missed Donsdaft formerly of this parish would have had suitable hyperbole.

At the moment I really can't be bothered travelling up. No enthusiasm.

Still drying out from yesterday. Disappointed. Thought we did quite well at times. Need to be much better and for me Wednesday is a must win if only to instil a bit of confidence for the semi. I really fear the worst at that especially if that defence isn't sorted out.

Andy Williams - Moon River

Just watched it “as live”. Frustrating game. Armstrong really didn’t look himself - lots of wayward passes to my eye. Maybe he’s now coming down with it!

Armstrong did the pre-match presser on Friday and said he wasn't one of the players who had been ill.

I don’t like Robinson with his constant excuses, but given how poorly Nisbet & Armstrong played today, I’m gonna guess they were two of the players Robinson referred to as ones who shouldn’t really have been on the pitch today. Aremu going off at HT given he was holding the midfield together first half may well be a third who was struggling and couldn’t continue. If that’s not the reason, Robinson hugely contributed to us losing that game with that decision. Only 3 subs used indicates as he also said that some of those on the bench shouldn’t really have been there either. That said, the injuries at CH were nothing to do with the bug, so we’re in big trouble potentially there, and there is zero excuse for completely bombing out Devlin and Frame for those two at FB, though Obi 2 is the significantly better of the 2. Muller is now concerning me greatly too - moves along his line and goes down slower than a weekend in the jail, and his kicking is worse than Mitov’s. Another downgrade, and Mitov was nothing special either. Troubling times - again…

Mouloua is guaranteed to be on the bench for the next match.

Another fantastic performance and result for my adopted home town in their first ever season in the Scottish Cup. A real achievement to come back from 3-1 down to win 4-3 after extra time and make it into the third round. C'mon the Seasiders 👍

First I knew of this game. Oot - Working in Weegieland. Honestly couldn't care less at the moment.

Wonder how they’ll set up. Falkirk are a really well coached team and are finding their stride a bit after a wobbly start. Hopefully they don’t come up to sit in and stifle the game, we are hopeless at playing that kind of opposition. It’s like watching one of those big bullies with their hand on the forehead of a wee guy who is wildly swinging but not getting near him.

I've buried the trauma of Mcghee so deep that any attempt at recollection just draws a merciful blank. I'll need to look him up on Wikipedia.

Just when you thought things couldn't get much worse, there's another Dons match coming up. It's on Wednesday 28th with a 7:45 pm GMT kick-off. Aberdeen are pish and Falkirk are not, so I fancy a 0-2 home defeat for the Dismal Dons.

Deportivo miss a sitter right at the end for Atletico to win 1-0. Enjoyable game with Deportivo contributing to the game. Play like this for most of the season and they will stay up.

Alverez with his first goal in 8 months to put Atletico 1-0 up on Deportivo La Coruna. Atletico will be 2 points behind Barcelona if they win tonight with the Classico tomorrow night.
