*Beyond him. I should get a proofreader. I mean, I wasn't literally claiming Andreas Hinkel was the German Stephen Glass. Point of order: Glass also played for Newcastle, and he was at Shamrock for two years, not nine. Also, Glass reached the heights by playing for the Dons, min. All irrelevant but I had to scratch that itch. Yes, and as someone in my 40s I'd strongly argue that is still very young. His best years (and mine) are still ahead of him. That makes them best pals in my book. And if it falls through, Robbie Neilson is still available.

I think that’s not quite accurate, as much as it’s prob tongue in cheek, 9 years as asst at shamrock rovers and Atlanta utd vs 13 yrs as asst at stuttgart, leipzig, spartak, and currently asst with the Belgium national team since 2023. 1 cap for Scotland vs 21 for Germany, watford dunfermline and hibs vs Celtic stuttgart and Sevilla. Played champions league, won the eufa cup and super cup. Obviously guarantees nothing, doesn’t mean this makes a good coach/manager. he’s 43, good age, coaching experience, obviously German like lutz, possibly knows lutz, and knows Scottish football to an extent. not ideal but enough intrigue from me. Much more appealing than a lambert, Lennon, or Billy Davies! plus his last name isn’t Robinson so that’s a plus. Definitely a lot of uncertainty around the club at present, but like you said, def learned from the glass experience, and we do have the structures in place to provide greater support.

The German Stephen Glass? Except perhaps this time we'd have the set up at the club that Glass should have had. You know what, it'd be interesting, I wouldn't be against it. Obviously has no managerial record to speak of, but 12 years coaching and being in the dugout isn't a lack of experience really. And if he's head coach rather than overall manager, then it's not really a step up that should be behind him. Didn't realise he had retired so young (29/30). I do remember him being a very capable right back for Celtic. Won 21 caps for Germany too which ain't bad going.

Santos with a goal just before half time. Don’t think I will be awake for 2nd half.

With VAR checks and cooling breaks this first half is almost a cure for insomnia.

Ooh I cannot wait for the wine and now got tickets for the figure skating too so absolutely buzzing

Santos v São Paulo on Premier Sports at 11pm for any insomniacs

Saw one guy on twitter claiming sky sports were showing an ai edited video of the ball not bouncing. Can you imagine the seethe if we win it when it's finally played?

Looks like he was manager of Stuttgart B in German 3 division a few years ago but an assistant rest of the time. Be an odd one if it is him as hardly screams experienced.

Guess falls into interesting but high risk category- could be a breath of fresh air and between him and Lutz overhaul the club structure- or will be a spectacular failure and both will get their jotters Strap in folks

From 0-1 down, to 2-1 ahead going into stoppage time. 2-3. Goodwin’s fraudulent fucker act continues. Stick at it, Jim.

A little birdie tells me its gonna be Andreas Hinkel. Ex Tim striker, been involved in coaching & assistant management at Stuttgart for years, Spartak Moscow & Leipzig. Never managed outright himself though as far as I can see. Defo Lutz’s man, but his track record won’t bowl anyone over as far as I can see. Just gotta hope he’s the guy this time. Should be announced next couple of days apparently, so we’ll soon see if its correct or not…

They're certainly not experts in giving away fans a value match day experience with a decent view. There is some twenty carot gold rage out there to be found. Certainly lifted the mood

If the game had gone ahead on a sodden pitch, they would have been raging. It's not like Aberdeen FC controls the weather. I suppose they're all experts on sports pitch maintenance as well.

It's the second midweek for postponed games, so it'd be Wednesday 18th, three days after we play them at Fir Park.

Tims are absolutely raging. Can we get more of their games postponed against other teams? This postponement is worth it just to read their reactions. Once a VicTim, always a VicTim

Ah see the rat munchers' game also called aff .... fuck! So they'll be equally refreshed ahead o' Saturday .... if it happens.

If it is called off will it be re-arranged for the Wednesday meaning the game at United will need to be re-arranged?

Weather boy just said it was going to stop on Monday and start again on Tuesday Saturday night in front of the telly then

It will probably be off too because it's never going to stop raining

Hibs had a Willie Miller. Clearly a fake copy of the real thing.

The one which brings a smile tae ma face is at our first game re. Sevco We hate Glasgow Celtic, we hate Motherwell too. We hate Dundee Uniiiited .... but who the fuck are you? Also, wasn't there an occasion where our opponents fielded a 'Willie Miller', prompting the song "Two Willie Millers, there's fuckin two Willie Millers? .... or Am Ah gettin' confused wi Andy Goram? (forgive me )

Wi the game called aff v the Vic-Tims We've time tae work on a system. New players tae gel, Our approach v The Well, should be "heid first an fuckin' get intae 'em'

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgqewqllw8vo No McInnes, staying with your hammer throwers and not kicking a ball all season would’ve been a “bad decision.”

That's a point apiece shirley? Nice work Dave
