Aye, ma three legged dog would hae done better .... an' Ah've never had a dog - of any leg appropriation

fify

Aye, fair enough, the disease we see as Hunnishosis is nae easily cleansed .... might need a period o' quarantine ... as was the case wi' Sir Alex ... but it can be achieved. It's a bastard o' a disease tho ... takes hold very rapidly ... as could be witnessed merely in the faces o' Ryhun, Barrhun, etc within a very short time o' bein' smitten wi the blue pox. Ah'm holdin' oot hope Cameron hisna been close enough tae the 'superspreaders' tae be incurable .. but hey, time will tell, and he's only one player - albeit performin' a fraction o' a level above the rest o' the shite

As someone who grew up detesting the huns, Derek Johnstone, in particular, although he had a fair amount of competition, if one comes to us then, if they then see the light, then that's OK. See Ferguson, Miller, Bett, young Ferguson there are countless others as well. So Ideally we'd have team full of Simpsons Hewitts, Scott Booths and Andy Considines but I'm not against giving them an opportunity to turn from the dark side.

At this rate probably the only positive Dons-related upgrade we can look forward to in the summer. Can someone try turning Dave Cormack off and back on again please.

Hmm ... o' aa the speculative guesses so far, this one actually maks perfect sense

Oh shit! ... we're missing out on the Scottish Cup Final??? ... That's fucking ... err ... Oh ... OK, no probs

Yeah ... same here .... except there was no penguin .... ... .... and no Lutz

The word underwhelming doesnt even begin to describe this potential appointment (much better ones are all four letters long).

A cup double? We have 9 league games, playing them twice too. That’s not much. Interesting if he stays then plays to beat us, and vice versa! Would be slightly odd to see him hired and move in summer, he’ll potentially help get us relegated then take over!

I would expect he'll be announced in the morning (presuming everything has gone smoothly, which with us recently is no guarantee). Absolutely no reason for him to have to wait until summer. McInnes left Kilmarnock for Hearts last season. Be interesting to see his managerial team. Would Docherty stay as assistant having been a manager against Robinson previously?

So we go for Pressley when Robinson knocks us back!! Pretty sure yogi is waiting by the phone too!

Which remains a possibility given St Mirren are in the semi but if he did it would be even further humiliation and the club being thrown into full on crisis. The die is cast, Robinson seems the much lesser of those two evils and his record isn't exactly awful as others have mentioned. Who knows, maybe it will work out. Stranger things have happened, look at how much Dundee have progressed under Pressley.

Good post, Panda! You made my post so much easier and shorter, was going to post something similar. He’s an experienced coach, Goodwin glass and Robson were not. Thelin had minimal knowledge/experience of our league, opponents, and players. Robinson will also have more of an idea than most of the type of player that’s needed for the SPL. We also have lutz (assuming rumors are false) and the return of Mowbray to find players. i suggested here early season that Robinson could be an option and got blasted for it, so no surprise that there’s so much negativity. But he has done well as a coach in the league. And won a cup. And not just with one SPL team. the big however is that he doesn’t seem to match the whole long term approach, philosophy of the club, and the glamor of a new coach. I’m certainly disappointed in this announcement, surely we could have done better. Seems like desperation/panic to me, and id be surprised if he came before summer. When i suggested him before one major negative voiced was the quality of their play. Haven’t seen enough of his teams to comment, although I have certainly been wooed more by the play of falkirk and Motherwell. Don’t remember the chat when Alex miller was hired, or Roy Aiken, and in more recent times when goodwillie came. Certainly my most deflating hire for us to date and I’ve been a fan approx 45 years, even though there are signs he could be a good fit/hire.

Chelsea, City and Spurs all tanned in the Champions League this week. Pub teams in a pub league. My auld ma would be a star player down there.

They did say when it launched that the money would be going to youth development. So I've been subsidising the huns who took Barron (did they even pay for him in the end?) and Wright. I think I will bin it off as well.

Highlights of all the games on BBC shortly for anybody that’s not seen them. Worth watching for skill in Atletico’s 4th last night and Madrids 3rd tonight alone. Alternatively for those with Premier Sport Boca v San Lorenzo is on at 2240 or Nashville SC v Inter Miami CF at 2330 on YouTube.

it hasn't been announced yet, maybe he will say no. Hopefully.

You would have got decent odds on none of the English sides winning over last two nights.

Is he though? Under Goodwin, St Mirren finish 9th and 7th, and although he left them in sixth he never completed the season (they finished 9th). Best they did in either cup was a semi-final. Robinson was his direct replacement, and in each of his full seasons they have finished 6th, 5th, 6th (their first top six finishes since 1985), won the League Cup and will be leaving them in the Scottish Cup semis. They qualified for Europe for the first time in 37 years. This is his first poor season in the league as manager, and can be attributed to injuries and yeah, poor signings. But they've still won a cup and did it by beating four Premiership teams on the way, including Hearts, and thumping Motherwell and Celtic. And that doesn't mention his record at Motherwell too, which ranks above Goodwin at both Dundee United and Aberdeen. I totally accept the negativity towards his appointment and that many of us expected something else, but he is a significantly better manager than Jim Goodwin.

5-2 psg now. Bad night for the English clubs. Shame.

PSG just scored a cracker to go 3-2 up against chelsea.

Three nil Bodo now. What a great story that is.
