https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/woogdate-hayden-coulson-middlesbrough-future-26000863 Interesting read on Coulson. My feeling is he will sign a new deal with them if they don't get promoted, if they do he/boro will probably part ways. Even in this scenario I don't see him being with us next season. Most likely he will go to the Championship but I wouldn't be that surprised if the huns or the tims went for him cos they are both lacking at LB and they must have noticed him by now.

It seems to me that it has got a lot worse post the break with stuff being ignored to the benefit of those two.

Sore ones but there's ways to lose a game, can't fault the attitude after the red 2bf.

Jesus wept, Stewart had had a decent game up to that too. That would have been a straight red twenty years ago ffs

Done deal it would seem, modest fee involved apparently

Resign Taylor maybe?

Agreed, and I think it has to be a target man. It's the most bang for buck choice to my eye giving at least 2 new tactical options we don't currently have.

The kid would be far better going to a more technical league. Spain or Portugal would be where I would be advising him if I was his agent.

Oh for sure, I'm not saying I think he's a good ref but I don't think he's corrupt. Just incompetent. If he was, he would have given that.

This

You say that Al but the last time we played them in a cup semi (fergie header game) Beaton was ref. Not only that, after we had gone 1 up I remember morelos going down in the box. From the other end of the park it didn't look the worst claim in the world either and Beaton waved play on. I would have Beaton over Walsh any day of the week 2bh

Certainly not heard of us offering him a deal and he's defo put himself in the shop window down there now.

This. Diving cunt

He's OOC at the end of the season is he not?

Miovski will be fine, he's getting into the right positions and just needs a goal. It will come. I was only able to watch the extended highlights on rtv so I can't comment greatly on overall game but on chances created looked well worth the win. I wasn't looking forward to this one either as it's not like St J haven't been a bogey team in the past. Defo would have taken uninspiring 1-0 win with a late sclaffed goal off Consi's shin wrongfoots the keeper. Onto der hun...

Bloody Hell! That's a lovely thing you did Lee, all the power to you . I'm glad you have found something to inspire you, and thus inspire others too, I mind you posting recently at feeling a bit detached from the dons these days.

Surely someone is going, either barron or Clarkson. Defo pleased to get shinnie in, suspect Mcrorie is now our default rb (we seriously just need to pick a position and stick with it with him). It will be interesting to see if there have been any technical improvements to his game but there's no doubt in my mind we are going to start winning more midfield battles with shinnie in the team. Prior to his leaving it was really only brown that could put him in his place. Not seeing a standout candidate in the league to do so now. I think Stewart could benefit from this as well, takes a bit of the leadership pressure off him. That's no bad thing either, you want leaders all over the park. Still want a cb but other than that I think we are reasonable shape for the 2nd half of the season. What a difference a day makes....

How the fuck did we lose that

I wouldn't drop McKenzie myself, I thought he did really well on Saturday. I would bring scales in for either Clarkson or Barron, play him with Stewart and McKenzie and get Mcrorie into midfield.

Death by a thousand cuts. Only positives I'll take from that are we looked really solid at the back for the first time this season and JM played very well at cb.

Foster-you cunt

Looks line they might be taking Porteus off Hibs on January. He'll probably be quite a good fit there 2bh but the seethe from hibees should be quite amusing at least

His sacked in the morning episode is worth a listen. Basically says he said to Aberdeen I'll stay if I get a car like snelders has and was ignored. His take was the board wanted the sale to happen and he was shown the door

One of my best pals is a Hibby, I would have a field day with him. Never going to happen though obviously, he'll end up in the championship or perhaps Italy as they seem to be seeing Scotland as a viable marketplace now (apparently josh doig is of serious interest to Napoli, Lazio and Bologna this window). That said he would probably do quite well as rcb next to Stewart in a 3
