The away goals rule is often counter productive. Jonathan Wilson explains the logic of getting rid of it here https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/mar/13/the-question-football-away-goals The article is 8 years old now but the logic still stands. I'd be happy to see the back of the away goals rule, all it does is make the home team wary of conceding. I would be willing to wager that average goals per game in euro competition will go up if the away goals rule is scrapped. If so, surely that's a good thing.

That's about 12k ish a week so aye, where the fuck are we getting that from.

Roy Macgregor has this cuddly persona but in actual fact he's quite a nasty bastard.

Can see Hughes pitching up at tannadice. Dm's next job will be in englandshire

Not only that at the start of the season no-one gave them anything more than a slim chance such was celtic perceived dominance. I think the empty stadiums played a big part, wasn't that long ago tavernier got a booting for saying they struggled with pressure in the programme notes. Celtic on the other hand seemed to thrive on it and perhaps without it they just couldn't get into top gear as easily. Obviously this is just conjecture but if so there's an irony that the fans who wouldn't walk away (though they fucking did, remember seeing mordor with under 20k crowds plenty of times) were such a hindrance.

I always remembered robertson as a lb but apparently he's a cb now

It was 3 years ago, I don't disagree with that but there is more context. He never had much of a chance under Mcinnes, basically I'm saying I don't think it's a bad thing he's being looked at with a fresh pair of eyes.

When Devlin first came he looked great 2bf. There's a player in there I would say

The Aberdeen fan in me finds it highly amusing. The Scotland fan not so much especially with Macgregors form going off a cliff.

Taylor is fine as long as all his primary responsibility is dealing with high balls into the box.

That's a shame but you would think he would at least consider an offer from us

Defo want us to sign emanuel Thomas, his goal today was van Basten esque. On his weaker foot.

Jess free kick game? I was at that though I don't remember too much about it.

I would take emanuel Thomas off livi if we are signing players who played well against us. He's a handful, no question and he's ooc too. We could get him for nothing and he's likely to be easy to deal with.

Well I really hope the management and players have a better attitude towards the game than you do. They've been shite, we've been shite but having something to play for makes all the difference. Their entire team is looking over their shoulder at the moment. Their best want to leave, the rest suspect they be forced out and their manager is just wanting to go back to being a coach. This is the type of game where simply wanting it more will get you a result more often than not.

No worries. I think there's plenty to be optimistic about 2bh. Motivation makes such a difference and we go into this on the high of getting through in the cup and a europa league group stage position to play for whilst every single one of those celtic players just want it to be over now. I don't care enough to look it up but this has been arguably their worst ever season so great is their capitulation. They will be half a yard off the pace I reckon, we just need to get in their faces and they will struggle. From that point of view it will be interesting to see if brown plays. 3-1 dons Kennedy, hendry and kamberi

Huge win for us at the weekend and the tims come in on a huge downer after losing to the huns. Their season is over, a lot of them know they are leaving too so they really are there for the taking. We still have all to play for and we defo got better as the game went on against livi. A win on Wednesday would send us into the utd qf nicely and it puts pressure on hibs too. Coyr

Mcburnie ruled out of the euros they injury. I'm sure we are all devastated at this news ??

Really interested to see how Glass approaches this. Livi are no mugs and I would snap your hand off for any kind of victory regardless of how we play

Jesus, talk about biting the hand that saved you. Budge doesn't deserve that however pish they have been. Great to see this thread back as it always make me smile. And keep it here for that matter, it's one of the quirks of the site and it has been for long enough to garner respect.

Logan is ooc at the end of the season. Given how little he's played he won't be getting renewed you would think

Regardless of what you think of brown he's force of nature and would raise the profile of the club a fair bit. There will be plenty of players out there that would be more interested in signing for us to work with him. I can understand why many are far from happy at the prospect of Scott brown at the club but objectively speaking can any of you honestly say you don't think he's a really good leader? Re glass, If you listen to the here we go podcast where they get atlantas club commentator on he goes really in depth into what glass has been up to. This guy came across as very switched on and not only did he speak highly of glass he said that was the feeling about him in the upper echelons of the club. When de boer was binned and glass stepped in as caretaker until the end of the season he was seen as a solid pair of hands by all concerned and not as a risky decision. He was also very clear that glass's remit with atlanta 2 was to develop players for the first team and results were basically irrelevant. In short if this does happen, whilst I'm yet to be convinced by the move, the half full side of me can see potential. It's certainly something different. No doubt this move has plenty of risk attached but.... my biggest criticism of Mcinnes was he was way too conservative. As such there's a big part of me that admires cormack for at least being prepared to roll the dice. The only other thought I have is that cormack did not get to where he has in life by hiring yes men. He'll have done his due diligence.

I can assure you I'm far from convinced by this move should it happen but I wouldn't describe it as even remotely mediocre. Mediocre is bringing the likes of Alex fucking Miller in (I really don't like violence but if I ever met him I would have to fight the urge not to deck him in sight).

Oh absolutely mate and I would pleased with his appointment. Can see Robson fitting very well into his management team too

I could be totally wrong on this but I'm pretty sure Neil said a few years back he wasn't planning managing in Scotland again. I suspect he'll take a time out until the merry go round starts up again down south next season. There's a lot of clubs in the NE of England too so unless he's actively wanting to leave the area the smart move for him would be to sit tight.
