Wearing a black armband today….

@OrlandoDon Allan Campbell has signed for St Mirren until the end of the season

East 17 - Deep

God has proclaimed that he doesn't want any more "three year projects" at Aberdeen. Hopefully Cormack listens to Him.

Ike &Tina Turner - River Deep, Mountain (Mountain) High

Patti Griffin - Up to the monutain

^^^^^^This, absolutely. Dealing with corner kicks is primary school stuff. Again, all the new age laptop boffins will try to convince you that you need some set piece coach with a PhD in fitba tactics. Jist heed the ba awa. Nay difficult.

Whilst not necessarily disagreeing with your last sentence, the issue in my eyes is that we have a back up keeper that has come from playing with Cove Rangers (no disrespect intended) and we literally have no idea as to the extent of his capabilities. Oh for a Peter Kjaer type signing. Alternatively where's John Burridge these days

Back on track David Bowie - Station To Station

Objection upheld, have no fucking idea what I was thinking about there A real senile moment

Completely agree re setup etc. That said even with McInnes in charge of player recruitment I suspect he would have done better with the extra funds available than we have seen since he left. You could argue that some of the dross DM took in was because his hands were tied financially and say what you like about him but Derek was very good at moving players he's taken a chance on quickly when it clearly wasn't working.

He didn't have as many howlers for sure but he's always had a wee mistake him and I've not been 100% convinced of him for at least a year now. The problem he has right now more than anything else though is his confidence is clearly shot which is leading to even more erratic decisions. At the very least there is solid grounds to be taking him out of the firing line for a few games.

System football has been on the rise for a while now and you're spot on that it takes away creativity and individuality, the latter by it's very nature and the former as consequence of that. It doesn't help that kids don't play football independently like they once used to. I wasn't a great player by any stretch growing up but I played virtually every day for years up to my mid teens and none of it was coached. That was the culture, you played football at lunchtime and then at the park once school was over. It's in circumstances like that that the players we have all admired over the years for being able to take the piss out of the opposition have honed those skills, not at a training facility where coaches are constantly drilling into you to move the ball on quickly cos system. Unfortunately kids mostly play football as a focused hobby now in coached environments which obviously isn't all bad but most of the really skillful players we have loved over the years learned those skills in the first place to take the piss out of their mates down the park. Who doesn't love shouting 'Meg' as you go past your opponent after all. It does make me wonder how players from previous era's would get on in the modern game. E.g would Ronaldinho if he was starting out now still get to a club like Barca or would he have to adapt his game, play to the system and learn to track back? Would a player like Matt Le Tissier even be able to work his way into the Southampton first team? I suspect he would be deemed too slow and lazy.

Very normal with any team, shit defense is more pressure on the keeper, and he comes off his line more since he knows defenders won’t win headers. As a result he makes poor choices. You’ll see him in no man’s land and not get to crosses. Was the case with Lewis, when we had a shit defense he got worse.

I assume when you say "before congress" you mean some gawdy function room at Mar-A-Lago?

Re Mitov - Think he's still a good keeper,the leaky defence may be giving him the jitters.Cant remember him flapping as much last season as he is this

If your legal framework makes it possible to overthrow a government or effectively steal land and resources, then it makes you no different to the person who does it out with that framework.

We will - to an extent. Fundamentally, we are badly coached at set pieces across the board. The amount of goals we concede demonstrates that. But, we are also incapable of dealing with any type of ball into the box, corners, crosses, free kicks, long throws. We are also incapable of dealing with long balls over the top, and our CH’s lose way too many one on one headers versus attacking players. It’s because they are either physically weak, not big or tall enough, just not good in the air, lack the required aggression for the position or a combination of all of the above. Every single one of them. Ergo, we desperately need a Pollock / Hughes type, or that issue ain’t going anywhere no matter who we put in charge…

I don't think that's the case at all. The current Labour party built their entire case on not being the Tory party, and many, many people would have voted for them to keep the Tories out. I don't generally vote, but have in the past for the SNP to keep Andrew Bowie out (it failed). I didn't believe that they would do good, just that they were less shite than the alternative.

The Strawbs - Lay Down

Status Quo - Roll over lay down

Mitov's fine save later didn't make up for him losing us the game earlier He should be replaced this match IMO
