  2. About as good as it could have been I guess. Surely even we can't cock that one up
  3. Dave
  4. I am The part about playing for nothing will be appealing to Wiggy
  5. That'll be another ten bob onto the fee we'll accept from the Huns for him then
  6. Money wouldn't be a problem as he's gone on record as saying that he'll play for nothing just to get a club in the SPL.
  7. Know it wasn't the best of games yesterday but FFS BBC, think it was worth more than about 90 seconds worth of highlights. Wanted to see the Mackie miss again to confirm my suspicion he was almost on the goal line when he hit it. Far too much time spent debating the Falkirk v QoTS game for my liking
  8. Just home, one word sums up today PISH Away to heat up and dry out, back later
  9. Clarke's first senior club was Dunfermline Athletic. He made his senior debut on 17 April 2004, in a 1-1 draw with Dundee United. His next appearance was a month later, when he came on as a substitute against Rangers. He joined Berwick Rangers on loan from October 2004 to January 2005. He was released by Dunfermline when he returned from his loan. Clarke then joined Fife rivals Raith Rovers. He made his debut against Clyde on 12 February 2005, and scored two goals. Clarke joined Arbroath on a six month loan in August 2005, and got his first senior hat-trick when Arbroath beat East Stirling 7-2 in November 2005. Clarke returned to Rovers in January, and remained there until the end of the season. Clarke joined another Fife club, Cowdenbeath in July 2006. He made a great start to his career at Central Park, scoring 4 goals in his first four games. His rich vein of form continued throughout the season, and he scored 5 goals in one match versus Stranraer in March 2007. He ended the season with 17 goals. Clarke got his third career hat-trick against former club Berwick Rangers in October 2007. On 15 January 2008, it was announced Clarke had signed a pre-contract agreement with Scottish First Division side Clyde.[1] However, both clubs agreed a fee which allowed Clarke to move to Broadwood Stadium on 29 January 2008.[2] He made his debut in a 3-1 defeat by Stirling Albion on 2 February 2008. He scored his first goal three weeks later, netting Clyde's only goal in a defeat to Dunfermline Athletic, from the penalty spot.[3] Despite scoring a double on the final day of the season in a 3-0 win over Stirling Albion, Clyde still finished in the playoff position due to Greenock Morton winning.[4] However, he netted once in a 6-5 aggregate win over Alloa in the semi-finals of the playoffs[5], and scored a goal in both legs of the 3-0 aggregate final win over Airdrie United[6].
  10. Would have staked good money upon it
  11. Thats the one
  12. It is a P
  13. Nae like the tabloids to resort to cheap journalism
  14. Pass.......
  15. Express reporting that AFC are on the trail of Clyde player Pat Clarke. Can't confess to knowing a lot about him, but has scored fourteen goals in twenty three games this season, and JC had him at Dunfremline when he was manager. Fee of circa £50k would be required
  16. Aberdeen must show Alloa Athletic they are no soft touches if they are to defeat the Second Division side and earn safe passage to the last 16 of the Scottish Cup. That was the stark warning from assistant manager Jimmy Nicholl ahead of tomorrow’s tie at Recreation Park. Nicholl believes Alloa manager Alan Maitland will have been fully briefed by close friend Billy Reid, whose Hamilton side out-muscled a flu-hit Dons side last weekend. The Dons number two is convinced the Pittodrie players will not shirk any challenge on the Wasps’ artificial pitch. Nicholl will take training today without manager Jimmy Calderwood, who is still struggling to shake off the effects of the virus which hit the club last week, but will meet up with the squad before their journey this afternoon. Nicholl said: “We know what Alloa will be like. “They will look at what Hamilton did to us last weekend and look to press us just as hard. “Hamilton changed their game and we did not adapt. Alan Maitland will have looked at last week’s game and will think Aberdeen were not up for the fight. “He will be thinking Hamilton were in our faces and we did not like it. That will be their team talk – but we know we can battle when we have to. We showed it earlier in the season when we were hauling ourselves off the foot of the league.†Nicholl believes Alloa’s synthetic surface will be as big an obstacle as the home players, despite a productive training session on the pitch on Tuesday. He said: “The surface will be a bigger danger than the opposition. “I enjoyed training on it on Tuesday, it was a good session, but you often find these surfaces are good for training on. “You never play at 100% on plastic pitches because you can never run flat out as it is too difficult to turn. I remember a Dunfermline game against Partick Thistle and Lee Bullen and Derek White were running and Lee tried to turn inside but the both of them ended up over the advertising boards. “I am not a great lover of synthetic pitches, I had three years on the plastic in America and I hated it because I had bad shin splints. “It definitely makes it a different game because if you are playing someone through the ball has got to be perfect because it will run through. “If it means we have to pass to feet then so be it.†Attacker Tommy Wright has moved a step closer to a return after coming through his first full training session in three months yesterday. The summer signing was joined by fellow long-term absentee Stuart Duff but neither player will be considered for tomorrow’s match. Wright has endured a miserable time since joining the Dons from Darlington, making just four substitute appearances and being sent off after conceding a penalty on his debut against Dundee United. Nicholl added: “It was great to see them kicking a ball again but they are not ready to be involved just yet.†Andrew Considine could be available for tomorrow’s match but Jamie Smith, Jared Hodgkiss and Bertrand Bossu will all be left behind. Not all bad news then
