He's our diving bastard, thanks.

John Crace on good form today with his opening paragraph, in response to Liz Truss revealing Labours "secret plan" - get Burnham back to Westminster to challenge Starmer. "It’s one of the great philosophical questions of our age. Or any age, for that matter. If Liz Truss didn’t exist, would it be possible to imagine her? Could anyone conceive that someone so brain-meltingly dim could have once been our prime minister"

Get yourself to Haymarket tomorrow at 10am. See you there 💪

They're going to have to extend the pitch when we play the Huns in order to fit him and Shankland on it.

Yep, he looked decent anytime I saw him with Livi. Another who knows the league and won’t get bullied easy. Quite happy with this one. Clear upgrade on Milanovic (not hard) & if we compare to Keskinen, £300k to replace a guy we got £1million plus for - and who I honestly think is actually an upgrade on him too - is pretty decent business…

I sent away my first scoop after turning 50 this year. No bother at all with a quick turnaround for the result. Just seeing that there’s many folk across the uk not bothering. If you are dithering, do a big toalie and send the surplus to Derek McInnes Ibrox Stadium 150 Edmiston Drive, Glasgow, GB G51 2XD

We seem to be nailing the buy in and sell on for a profit model. If we can just figure out how to get them to actually play football while they are here, we'll be unstoppable.

Good luck with Nesta. One of the better players in a dreadful Cobblers side last season (Fitzsimons was our real player of the season but he was associated with Nolan, his drinking partner). He's decent going forward but a little suspect defensively. Has pace.

English is right. This is our level. We’ve no keeper, no centre backs and no strikers. We’re decent at full back with Robertson and when Hickey is fit (ha!). We’ve got what should be a capable midfield but that’s it, and none of our players bar 20yo prospect - prospect - Doak are remotely creative. It’s a tale as old as time but Scottish football gets what it deserves. The SFA, the SPFL and our top clubs are all absolutely complicit in not doing enough to improve our standards over 40+ years. Ian Wright was bang on on ITV last night even before our game had started. We’ve got phenomenal supporters from the national team through the clubs down to the grass roots. We’re a football daft nation and those who run our game are letting us all down badly.

Shinnie regretting his life choices after seeing ICT’s new sponsor:

Here's hoping one never fouls the other, the combined event horizon would drag any VAR delay out to infinity.

Did their solution involve pointing and laughing as I have found that a great way to deal with their defeat. I had a zoom call with my colleagues in London yesterday and the start was delayed 15 minutes by the host. He then emailed me to say the delay was to give me time to get the flag down and the grin off my face.

I really need to learn. Every two years I get the fear, every two years wendys lose to the first good team they play.

“Tadgers”, I think.

Yep, I'm beginning to think we'll make it out of the group stages.

Milne will be a good player. It's not unusual for a defender of his age to go through a rough spell. He reminds me of Jack Hendry when he was at the Tims. Once he uses the physical attributes he was blessed with, he'll be fine. He's a good footballer who allowed his poor form to turn him into a jittery footballer (as Hendry did at that age). A move to the MLS will be good for him if it happens. I really hope he's not sitting on our bench next season anyway, he deserves better. There really is very little room for a young player to come through the youth setup and make mistakes while developing in our first team, which is a shame.

Not much of the cup winning squad left. Don't think we ever really saw the best of Topi. Have a feeling he will kick on away from us. Not saying he'll be winning Champions Leagues or anything, but do think he'll have a decent career.

I'd like to thank Topi for his efforts during his time with us. I suspect he has a little bit more in the tank as he is still a youngster Wishing you a hugely successful career Once a Don, always a Don and always a Scottish Cup winning Don

He better give a quote to the press prior to our first visit to the huns along the lines of "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious."

Made it there and back. Canna mind much on the way back.

Honestly can’t think of a less appealing fixture

The new Moroccan revolution. Just need a young midfielder that can perform bicycle kicks in all situations and we're sorted.

He should just drive them out into the countryside somewhere and leave them there.

In Robinson’s pre-match presser on Red TV, he said that Muller’s been recruited because there have been some light rumblings about Mitov being targeted by other clubs. Nothing definite, but he’s made a pre-emptive move in recruiting the Masked Man (worn because he’s had concussion issues in the past). Muller seems to be a good guy from his responses to Mal’s forensic probing questions. I was particularly pleased to hear that although he hardly kens the area yet, he’s adopted a bit of the culture, “After tomorrow’s match, it is my intention to seek out Davy’s chipper in Boxy. I have heard that their Blutwurst er….blood sausage - I think you say “black pudden”? - is particularly renowned. I am excited at the thought of hamming into one of them”.

It's the smarmy knowing smirks of the newsreader and tv presenters when they mention enger lund that particularly bug me every tournament. Pleasing to note it's absence today :-) Particularly after a 39 year Messi schooled them

Thought Argentina were better team and England scored against run of play. Argentina subs worked and Cunts didn’t. Turning on Tuchel and blaming him for sitting in and ignoring fact Argentina were forcing them back before subs. Spain v Argentina could be a great final

A small, minor thing. Austria Vienna are also with Macron and revealed both their home and away shirts yesterday. Their badge is sewn on, but ours is stuck on which makes it look a little cheap (and, likely to peel off). Just wonder what the decision making behind that would be. Cheaper? (if is is the club are certainly not passing on those savings to the supporters going by the advertised prices).

It wisna a great game, the condition o' the pitch had a part in that, but there were some mildly encouragin' signs. For starters, less playin' oot fae the back. Generally, oor play was mair direct than usual. Some decent balls intae the opposition box by a handful o' oor players ... a couple o' bonny incisive passes through their defence which on anither day would hae borne fruit, and some decent crosses by Yogane and Smith. Smith in particular put in a couple o' crackin corners. Yogane, when he gets beyond his defender has a damn good left foot for delivering crosses ... never swipes or panics ... very controlled. Would have liked tae hae seen him cut doon the wing tae the bye-line mair often earlier in the game, but very effective overall. Centre backs looked solid ... Happe's height looks like an asset at set pieces. Wing backs? .. well Lobban was a bit quiet, but Guiness-Walker was pretty handy at times..... improve his understandin'/link up wi' Yogane, and a lot mair will happen! Nisbet did what was asked o' him ... canna say fairer than that. Aremu lived up tae his initial hype in that he can put in a robust physical challenge without concedin' fouls. and did his share o' moppin' up stray balls. Brad Lyons impressed, particularly wi' his uncanny knack o' findin' himsel in good positions tae have a shot at goal - unlucky today, but he'll def score goals for us. Ronan looked pretty useful also - some good link up play. Mitov? ... he could hae turned up wi his sleepin bag and his favourite teddy .... which says somethin' aboot the effectiveness o' oor defence. So, nithin earth-shatterin' .... considerin' the level o' opposition, but a good base line tae work on.

I would expect as close to our strongest team as possible, very little experimenting. Think Robinson knows he still has many Dons fans to win over and nothing less than a win by a few goals will do. Possibly the same starting XI as against Linfield, with maybe a change at LB and possibly Briedl (if fit) coming in. As for TV choices, give me Happe over Mbappe and Yogane over Yamal any day.

It's 2026 though. No longer being alive isn't the bar to serving on the US Senate it once was.

Keskinen could be upgraded with a sheep dog.

Just looked up his family tree. I suspect the force will be strong with this one…

So it’s Farage vs Count Binface. What would be probably the funniest thing ever in the history of British politics is in the hands of the residents of Clacton.

It's fine, the new website can cope with long lists.

Like all things that change, it will take some getting used to, but it looks good so far.

When Blatter is calling you corrupt you know you fucked up

That’ll be England in the final then. Only France can save us. But given what’s happened with the USA red card it’s turned into a corrupt Mickey Mouse tournament.

I mean. Just how?

VAR was introduced so that no team would ever get knocked out of a tournament (or prevented from going to one) by terrible refereeing decisions. It's good that it's gone full circle and is now in charge of all terrible decisions. Agree about the pen, although they've correctly been ignoring those all tournament, which has been refreshing to watch. It wasn't clear and obvious either, but subjective.

Hopefully the good Dr. Congo can prescribe a win over England later.

It's a good job this is being shown after the watershed, because that second goal was XXX-rated pure filth.

Norwegian club Brann lining up a move to sign Kjartansson on a permanent deal. Unless they are offering crazy money, which would seem highly unlikely, I'd personally keep him. Not sure how we would pay decent money for the potential he apparently has and then do nothing to develop that potential. If he isn't ready for our first team, then get him out on loan somewhere where he will get decent game time surely 🤔 Source is P&J but can't access to read full article.

Get McInnes in. I'd take McGlynn. A manager I'd have been happy to see at the Dons. Right call from Clarke and he goes with a lot of goodwill, he's been excellent when he's been excellent.

A knee infection? 4 tae 6 weeks? Weak kneed if ye ask me .... followin' my vasectomy reversal, I got an infection in ma fuckin balls ... but Ah was back shaggin' within days even while the pus was soakin ma punts twice a day! ... Gie the boy slap an' tell him tae harden the fuck up

You’ll be able to tell straight away what path he’ll take. Given who the cunt was that stepped aside for him, I’m pretty sure I know. More of the same but better packaged. I’m not one of those edgy fast moving horse whispering spin doctors who have their finger on the pulse of every focus group going but if I was him, I’d do the following and id do it quickly 1. Sanction Isreal 2. Replace the Home Secretary 3. Start chatting up the EU 4. Remove the whip from Glasman 5. Stop treating protesting grannies as terrorists 6. Stop listening to JK Rowling. She’s mental 7. Tax billionaires inside out 8. Start Levenson 2 9. Start hounding the PPE profiteers 10. Fold Dundee Utd

Hope he is a better coach than pundit
