Id be surprised if Kamberi wanted to come back to Scotland long term so hopefully he is going to play out of his skin to make sure he keeps his place at St Gallen or gets a move to another swiss club. He also really screwed up with his comments after moving to Sevco on loan and seems the abusive social media posts have already started

Id have to spend time trawling through messageboards of all other SPFL teams to see what their injury complaints are to give an accurate answer. Personally last time I had any opinions on who a rival teams best player was, was back in the days of Henrik Larrson. Anyway 4-0 Dons today doing County a favour in the process (Not a fan of Kilmarnock) An annoying 4-0 too IE its 3-0 at half time and then they sit back for the 2nd half and get a late penalty rather than trying to run up a cricket score.

Same logic as to 'why are there always a breakdown where it causes the worst traffic jam?' Answer is these things happen all the time but you only notice when it affects you directly.

MBT becomes the first casualty. Sadly with 10 games I'm not sure if the dons will even reach my total Provided they make the top 6 that 10 games includes 4 against the OF and 1 against hibs. Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Only allowed to change prediction until closure of January transfer window as along as it is to an empty tally. 77 76 75 74 - MBT 73 72 71 70 69 68 - danthedon 67 - RicoS321 66 - Manc_don 65 64 - Wee Toon Red 63 62 - BigAl 61 60 - Jute 59 58 - Elgindon 57 56 55 54 - Tom_Widdows 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 - Top 6 Guaranteed.

Kyle Lafferty darkens another scottish club's door. This time its Killie

We needed a new sweeper

Bojack Horseman. The animation style put me off (quite similar to the bizarre 'Mr Pickles) but glad I decided to give it a go. Just finished the first season with 5 more to go and according to reviews it gets better from the 2nd series onwards

Is it not the case a football club's board backing a manager under pressure is like as a character in a war film talking about what they are going to do when they get home?

Are we taking bets on how long it is before one of he red tops picks up the Duncan Ferguson suggestion?

As in someone with a massive forehead?

MBT looking towards the horizon more than I'm looking over my shoulder. Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2.

Was that not what Hearts were doing a couple of seasons back?

I love it when lots of thought is put into things

Only seen a little bit but there seems to be a massive gap in terms in intensity from both teams. Hibs actually want the ball whereas with the Dons it seems to be 'oh hes got it, phew, right ill take a breather. It reminds me to a time when my regular 5s team lost most of our regular players due to work or family commitments etc and those of us who remained ended up playing with randoms picked up through hopeful facebook/ twitter posts, and/or picked for us by powerleague to ensure the game went ahead. It would take about 10mins before the randoms essentially gave up and by the second half the opposition had set up a shooting gallery infront my goal while their keeper checked his phone. Had the 'goalies can only throw the ball to their team mate' rule not existed he probably wouldnt have put his phone down. Still at least Basil Brush turned up at half time. Maybe the Dons can bring him on in the second half

So who is going to fill the online critiscism void left by Main, Ojo. Wright, Edmondson & Anderson?

Lung cancer. Diagnosed last month

Dustin Diamond AKA 'Screech' from 'Saved by the Bell' - 44

As in lack of? They are hovering above the relegation zone after all
-
Wonder what certain lawyers might say if one of the players was injured by sliding/ running onto the packed iced snow piled up in some places less than 1m from the touchline? Bad enough having to put up with that playing 5s at powerleague and frankly its pathetic no one at Livingston has cleared that.
-
Thats 2 gilt edge chances so far. If only Hayes had realised how much time and space he had. In other news the BBC 'live coverage' page is well behind.

Where's Goal-line technology when you need it?
-
Livingston's run has to come to an end soon and in the world of scottish football it often happens against a team thats playing turgid stuff and gets lucky 3-0 Dons The Kaiser x 2 Own goal

If it was Moult perhaps it would finally put to rest the debate....
