Someone who doesn't want to be put in a home.

Out trains will probably pass so gies a wave. Off to London to meet up with my son and then off to Melbourne on Sunday to visit my daughter...missing 3 Dons home games...I know, what a martyr.

MacKenzie did OK today (he obviously wasn't very pleased when his number was shown as sub off, threw the ball down in a fuck-you gesture) but he's better than OK...since his injury he hasn't once really looked like he'd take on the opposing FB...today in the 2nd half he had an ideal opportunity to drive to the bye-line but hesitated and then turned back and played the easy option. Don't know whether it's the injury he's had or the muted transfer to englandshire but hopefully he gets back on to his natural game soon.

Always worried when it's played to him anywhere in our half...yes, he can take a touch, draw a couple of defenders and sprint past them, but he's also likely to take a touch which bounces off his knee and we're on the back foot.

At 1 point in the second half when we had a corner they cleared, he sprinted back and was able block their attempt to play it down the touchline.

Just like in Elgin when he chested the ball down in our box, lost it because it's not a 5-a-side game and it resulted in their 1 big chance. He's good 1-1 in their final third apart from that he's a liability.

My favourite player as a kid...first name George, aka Fuh

So the oldest team in Scotland beat the youngest

"He’s our top scorer" is a sad indictment of our current striker situation that someone who's missed a large part of the season is our best hope of getting a goal. Really hoping that his early season showing was what he is rather than the player we saw in Helsinki but a hae ma doots.

"Very lightweight"...he'd fit right into our midfield, then

When we first got Palaversa I thought he'd be our hard-man in MF, turns out he is as hard as a bowl full of rich-tea biscuits mixed with milk. As regards Nisbet I don't think it's anything to do with service - yesterday, he was played in down our left-hand channel, he was ahead of the chasing CB so he needs to get a good first touch, see who is bombing into the area and hit a decent cross, instead he goes for a half-volley which balloons over the bar...then he holds his hand up to say "Sorry that was meant for you" to anyone of our 20' strikers (obviously the last word should be in quotes). He's just a waste of a wage, giving Alfie Bavidge/Fletcher Boyd the same minutes would be much more worth while as they'd at least be trying and willing to learn and, maybe, even troubling the scorers.

Just like if Pape scores against the Hun.

Apart from Nisbet (who looked as though he still wanted to play for Hibs e.g. when it was played down the left-hand channel and he was ahead of their CB but then, instead of controlling the ball ballooned it over the bar (and graciously put his hand up in the air as if to say "sorry" that was meant to be a cross)) - none of our forwards were signed by JT : Gueye (who seems to be reverting to his pre 5/6 game peak earlier this season) and Ambrose who isn't anyone's idea of a footballer; then we've got Duk whose peak was under Robson's caretaker period (like Roos, Clarkson) and Morris who seems to have reverted to his indecisive nature. But, yes, we need a couple of grizzled old pros in the CB and CM area, short term.

Doesn't matter who you support or who you "hate"...dementia is a fucking horrible thing to happen to anyone and you wouldn't wish it on your worse enemy. RIP Jimmy.

There was a defender on the post so the lino shouldn't have moved. But he just guessed and fortunately for us, he gave the goal. As a former ref. - amatuer level, with no lino and sometime no lines - we were always told that if you weren't sure then you can't give it and he shouldn't have given it.

Which is the argument that that goal in '66 was over the line, with Hunt immediately acclaiming the "goal". If the linesman (I know) yesterday gave the goal then he was presumably looking along the bye-line and taking into account that the post would have been in his eyeline, saw the whole of the ball which would indicate that ball was over the line.

We didn't concede...that was a shock.

Nope, still haven't found his level.

Man city were obviously concerned and signed Harland up on a 9 yr contract at £500k p.w.

Haha, was living down south when we played Brighton in a pre-season friendly (how times have changed), watched on in amazement as he was playing RB and thinking this guy has absolutely no pace, no awareness of what's around him and not a clue how to play RB. Anyway, apologies for continuing the disruption to the thread entitled "Transfer Window". (also no idea what Vujadinovic means)

Every time I see there's been an update on the transfer window thread I'm thinking is it a rumour or is it a new signing...please be a striker, or another CB or a right- or left- back and then I find out that it's still another posting about previous CBs who were crap. Come on, mods. sort it out...I'm too old to be excited unnecessarily only to find out sombody arguing about who was worse Ifil or Bus.

It's not how high Devlin's hands are its their positioning...even in real time everyone except Beaton can see they are both placed across his chest, below his clavicles - he should not have given the penalty in the first place and allowed VAR to contradict him if necessary, instead he gave a penalty which was always going to be overturned. Nilsen shouldn't have been marking their big CH...Ruby should have been the one picking him up. Yes, Polvara tried to buy a free-kick just as the St Mirren player did last season when their forward was chasing the ball, stood his ground and Devlin ran into him, that was a penalty and today should have been a free-kick to us, doesn't matter if he dived like a fanny (whatever that means), the point is Polvara had his body between the defender and the ball and he was pushed over.

But it really shouldn't have been awarded in the first place...Beaton had a clear view as Devlin put his arms together across his body (big jessie should have controlled it with his chest and started a counter-attack (or transition as you youngsters would say).

2-2 now with 10mins added on time (or until the Hun score).

Maybe they'll be prepared to wait for payment until we've been paid by the Hun for Barron...so they'll get their £700k some time in 2026.
