  1. The average weekly salary for Hull players in Nov 2016 was £23k. Somehow i don't think he'd come up here to play for 3 grand.
  2. Or 20p per Scott Brown "friendly warning".
  3. I'm disappointed with my choice now, as victory for me here would likely come at the price of Tic remaining unbeaten and another Sevco pitch invasion to celebrate a miraculous last-minute draw. So instead i'll throw caution to the wind and switch to a bravado-fueled 79 Or is that gloryhunting?
  4. Interesting to watch the reactions of the players in that - Logan in particular looks like he's fair enjoying himself here.
  5. Here's hoping today's result takes the pressure off the last 3 games and we revert back to the default attacking style that got us 2nd place for the 3rd time in the 1st place, so tae speak.
  6. 2nd place confirmed. That'll do pig, that'll do.
  7. supersub time. Stockley on for Rooney.
  8. Have an infinite number of Simmies.
  9. Tic complaining its not an equal 50/50 split and claiming that they are getting less tickets than us - now i've seen everything http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39829048
  10. Can't say i've often gone much further into Bicester than the Outlet Village bit, but i ken folk living there that'll be more clued up than me, i'll ask. Seem to mind it's a fair bit cheaper than Oxford too, even though it's only about 10 miles away up the A34. edit - although talking of the outlet village i would imagine anything around that immediate vicinity would be top of the list to avoid. It seems to have turned into some kind of weird and tacky tourist attraction and was absolutely rammed the last time i ventured there, traffic must be a nightmare for anyone living nearby.
  11. I've just seen the BBC story on that - 6 Tic players, 4 Dons and 1 Partick player, mintal. McInnes is in the shortlist for MotY as well, and Hayes is on the PotY one. I wonder how Sevco fans are adjusting to the concept of watching the same two teams ahead of them gather all the recognition while they get nothing? Think i might help myself to another cool refreshing glass of schadenfreude.
  12. Cheers GB for summarising all our thoughts so eloquently
  13. Sevco emphatically lost to Tic today, so a win for us today will effectively wrap up 2nd due to GD. Although even a loss has the silver lining of keeping alive St Johnstone and Hearts overtaking Sevco and taking their Euro spot away. In fact, maybe we should just let Saints win...
  14. 5-1 Tic, time for a new manager for the Zombies?
  15. [ "Swimming against the tide" is not the same as spouting sensationalist, alarmist, factually misrepresentative pish. McLean's personal support is irrelevant in a professional setting (sensationalist), he is unlikely to have upped his form in the last few months just impress Sevco (alarmist), and his contract is not up at the end of the season (factually misrepresentative). Incidentally, i suggest you check the political demographics in both Oxford and Edinburgh before you unwittingly fall into the same trap.
  16. Fit were you doing there?
  17. Shocking decision. However, what is funny is this: Zombies will burst with conspiracy theories now
  18. Save yer fishing for the stadium thread min.
  19. To be fair, it takes a particularly dodgy curry to need everything up to the back page, so you may as well laugh at whats left.
  20. Pretty much what i thought when i saw the "story". They've done Jack and McLean, we should hold a sweepstake for who's next - i reckon they'll keep working through our midfield and next puffpiece will pretend Shinnie gives two shites about them.
  21. Thank Christ for that, i read the title of this thread too fast and thought Willie Collum had taken a seat on ACC.
  22. Came on to say much the same. McLean and Shinnie were constantly in Hibs faces. I'd also disagree with the comment about Hayes not playing well, he certainly tried his usual pace but just kept getting battered by the Hibs defence whenever he was looking like getting past them - I was pretty relieved to see that he made it to the end in one piece. the O'Connor sub definitely not the best decision deek has ever made - i can see what his thinking was (to play out the game), but we lost that goal straight after because our defence then didn't have a clue where they were meant to be. Difficult to tell if they would have settled as he changed it straight back again not long after, but we certainly don't look comfortable with 3 (4? 5?) at the back. When McGinn came on, went back to our strongest team and shape, was just praying Hibs didn't get a last minute number as i reckon we would have come out on top in ET because of that. Bottom line, trying to play safe ironically nearly cost us the game. Had we simply stuck to our proven winning team with like-for-like swaps (McGinn>Christie, O'Connor>Taylor probably?) we would likely have been more comfortable. The team and management need to get their heads around treating cup-ties as just another game we need to win, and not start thinking they have to do something different.
  23. Hibs starting to come back into it by HT, but we were absolutely dominating them for the first half hour. Hopefully deek's HT chat gets a'body back in the mindset they were clearly in at the start. Back to lots of pressing please, Ambrose looks like he's about to shyte himself every time he's got the ball and there's a red shirt near him.
  24. I hear local residents are already organising a "No to AntiKingsford" protest group
