Three P's on the bounce will without a doubt be our best run of results this season, oh happy days

Nae looking to argue here. It's a bit harsh suggesting to anyone that they need to "calm doon" for basically jist being realistic. We are a shambles at the moment and have been for a long long time. Fluked the scottish cup win back in May 2025 and we all fkn loved that. But we know that was a fluke and we were jist papering over the cracks that are getting bigger and growing year after year. Nae sure what the advice to realists should be, but it shoodna be calm doon

Sums it up well. And no, as a fanbase we'd give McGlynn even less time to build a squad than we have given any other manager recently. I don't imagine that collectively we're much different to most other groups of fans - a winning team on the pitch is really the only thing that keeps us happy. Otherwise no-one's getting any time to do anything before the support turns on them.

Just saw Wes Streeting described as ‘The offspring of Ruth Davidson fucking Thomas the Tank Engine’ Anyway, it looks like it was him that encouraged Sarwar to commit political seppuku.

Think we need to keep some perspective on what we can reach for in terms of manager. We are unlikely to be buying in a market for experienced European managers who have a successful track record at a number of clubs. Very much like the players we are shopping for, we are taking a degree of risk with those who have shown performance at some point on their career but may have drifted off that trajectory. If they had continued to grow (Palaversa, Aouchiche etc and Horneland) we wouldn’t be close to getting them. It’s a calculated risk that hasn’t really paid off so it’s reasonable to question the strategy but if we bin that idea then we go down the McGlynn route. No guarantees that doesn’t fall flat on its face either. Knowing the Scottish game isn’t a recipe for success. Someone like McGlynn has spent a long time crafting Falkirk, would we give him that time?

Correct it is not about the money at all. It is more like he is not really all that sure if he wants the job or not. And if that is the case with anyone on the penguins make believe "short list" then they should be crossed off straight away.

He was feeling peckish and asked where the best chippy was in Aberdeen. He was still starving after listening to someone blethering pish about raans, fash & chippers

He has a problem with the folk who think the top of Union street is the castlegate

What is it then?

^^^^^^ This with bells on. Sensible words Slim As I said on Saturday or Sunday on this thread, it's not about the money as to why he hasn't taken it yet

It's amazing how much people are winding themselves up over their own interpretations of guesswork being published by sports reporters who themselves have no real idea of what is going on other than this Norwegian chap had been openly sightseeing around the city for 2 whole business days before they were remotely aware that he was under consideration. If we can save a few £000k's in compensation by waiting a wee bit while we're not actually playing any games and have someone semi-competent keeping training ticking over, then it makes sense to do so. And taking a job in another country away from where your family are, it's a big impact on your personal life and not something you can expect someone to take lightly. Allowing someone in that position to take some time to do some research, discuss with family, etc, is not a sign of weakness or a slight on our stature as a football club. Basically, calm doon.

Sarwar is looking at taking a hiding in May and is trying to shift the blame. Yesterday was purely an act of attempted self preservation and a very poorly executed one. I suspect the reason that nobody else put their head above the parapet is that they also know that Labour are likely to lose in the upcoming coming by election and have a terrible result in May elections so they are as well leaving Starmer in place to take the blame and punt him afterwards.

Is Henning Boel still with us? I'll awa for a Google......

He wants to see us in action first before telling us “thanks, but no thanks”, as McGlinn, Robinson and others will likely do too when the shortlist is exhausted and they realise that they are at the bottom of the list - the long one I mean. It’s a complete shambles to be frank, and beyond embarrassing.

Oh and just for the record, this horny Norwegian dude can GTF already as it is clear he disna really want the job

As said, pal over the years / decades I have learnt that the best way to be as a dons fan is to lower your expectations. but you ask what are m expectations so ok I will answer that mate. A team on the park that tries their best every fukin week, game after game irrespective who the opposition is. A team on the park that when the final whistle goes after every single fkn game we as fans can be proud of them and say at least they had a fukin go and gave it their all. Sadly over the last umpteen fkn years we can count on one hand the amount of times the above has happened, and I have no idea why that is. But fk me it's not a lost to ask (is it)

Welcome to the board. It's pretty chilled to be honest, even disagreement usually stays civil.

I'll jump in the freezing pool with you Anas, don't worry. After three, okay?

He clearly had support from somewhere and agreed to break rank first to have a pop at Starmer and then it all backfired on him. Did the same thing not happen with Douglas Ross, when Johnson was PM. I am sure someone else will break rank, as I think this whole Mandleson story still has more to come in the coming days, I think that's why they holding off. Starmer is a sitting duck and someone is waiting for the right moment to finish him off. Only a matter of when.

There’s only really one man Starmer can turn to for his new director of communications.

Probably have been but because they have been good at their job we never hear about them.

And for the record, I have no problem with Starmer being told to quit, he just has weakened his own hand or he is looking for apportioning the blame early when labour fck up the Holyrood election

Anyone else find it funny that Sarwar decides to break cover and denounce Starmer but appears to have chosen the wrong day? modern politics really has a dearth of intelligent folk maybe his advisors told him today was the day

My knees hurt just watching the Big Air event.

Met office have issued a yellow warning for heavy and persistent rain for Tayside for next 39 hours so going to take a wild guess game might be in doubt.
