  1. Thats what I suspected. Maddo wifie next to us at the Murrawell 1-1 game was screaming at JC "Its the fucking sack you need" at FT. No, she was shrieking it out, not screaming, but he heard it all right. Only time I felt genuine symathy for him. I thought we'd played well and were unlucky not to win, and I don't think we were expecting too much that night, as there had been some poor stuff in the previous games.
  2. He's so salt of the earth himself. Thats what I like about him. Wonder what he means by "at least they tell you to your face"?
  3. Money is the main reason people move, in any walk of life. Football is no different, and although you do get the rare examples like Le Tissier, you get the same loyalty (or perhaps lack of adventurism) again in business. Public sector workers don't do it for the dough. Why is AFC having an ambition to be the "third force" pretty laughable, though? Not saying they even have this ambition, which in itself is limiting, just wondered what you meant?
  4. As I am, right now. One of my only sustainables from Sandinista, but one of my all time favourites. Ring ring 7 am, went on to win 50 nil, italian mobster shoots a lobster, seafood restaurant gets out of hand, vacuum cleaner sucks up budgie... Pretty fuckin long innit...
  5. See the picture - SMILE ffs. Looks like the photographer has pissed them off big time. Although I notice its Paul Third doing the article. Is jmo naked cowboy Paul Third, or close relative thereof?
  6. Amy Winehoose on radio just now Back to Black. This woman is pure and utter genius. Through no control of her own, she is living the highs and lows that beset genius. I LOVE her voice.
  7. Unless... we play dutch fitba? Last Scotland game I went to, we got beat 6-0. This dirge week in, week out, excepting a handful of "where the fuck did that come from" performances this season, can only be bettered. Yes I know, pedanticists, pedantictiles, pedanticalicists, pedants, pedanticalicismics, top dutch v average dutch.
  8. Questions are easier than answers. Employ the right people in the right places. From deputy left back to youth team goal-scorer to regular midfielder to scout to coach to manager to Director of Football to Board all the way up to Chairman, right the way through the organisation, if you have a weak link, or any parts of the whole that don't stack up, the organisation falls down. Responsibilties are usually clear cut. In the business of football, failing on the pitch is as a result of failure in recruitment and/or failure to prepare and/or failure to motivate and/or failure to organise properly. The manager is ultimately responsible for what goes on on the pitch, but the role of his two "superiors" have to be considered before he can take all of the blame.

  10. Check carefully the contents of the "girls" pants. We don't need an international incident. We're AFC not AC.
  11. Do they still sell space beer in Den Haag? Pretty trippy.
  12. I trust the management team at AFC to do the right thing. It's about time they got something right... eventually. Law of averages.
  13. Well that sticky worked...
  14. No. But good luck. And are you female? Emma's quite a rare name for a bloke. Ever been on AFC chat? Did they try and chat you up? Pray tell the killer lines they used? Oh, you married one! God they must be better than I thought. Either that or you were very lonely at the time. Stand free yersel. EDIT: Not quite. I usually ask "wanna fuck" or if they look proper "fancy coming back to mine, like right now. I'm gagging for you". Never fails.
  15. But you have that track on your ipod. Therein lies the question. It would be lazy to cal the Dire Straits dire. I prefer to call them shite.
  16. Oh well, if you read here Sone, see ya and good luck. Best feet I've seen at Pittodrie for years. Beef up ye cunt.
  17. That would be a criticism of JC then. This is the subject above all others on these forums that normally brings out the most vitriol. As these pages contain written opinions, I fail to understand how some people object to the expression of a contrary view to the one they hold themselves? The JC is good v. JC is bad does degenerate into a pathetic standard of stupid insults and a complete absence of debate on the other AFC forums, but I heven't seen too many direct criticisms of the manager on DT. I have no faith that Calderwood is capable of taking the "football affairs" of AFC plc any further forward than we are now, and even if he did get an ambitious budget, have no faith in his ability to recruit right. As expressed above, I think the reasons for our continued mediocrity (at best) for over a decade now, are above JC.
  18. Way he tells it, he didn't have the heart to tell you.
  19. Cool. I will stand with you in any battle to break Glaswegian bones.
  20. It's a measure of how low expectations are for AFC that you could describe a 3-3 as a fantastic result.
  21. Also agreed with your assessments. Interesting that there is only one really impressive performance in 2008, v. Falkirk. The Celtic QF games were excellent, and we deserved to win the first one, but because they hit the woodwork alot, we didn't really dominate.
  22. Parker was a brialliant prospect. If it's drink he's partial to that has limited his potential, can't see this being the right move for him, or us.
  23. A season that promised nothing, and delivered nothing. Pretty satisfactory then.
  24. Surely not. Vlad is the classic example of cutting off one's neb despite ones visage. Fud.
  25. Whats the point of a duplicate thread?
