  1. been stuck on the islands this week, but please tell me someone else seen the killie fan's post on the hotline ( daily record) I'm sure it was Tuesday if not monday. Basically read, fed up with JC, plays our players out of position, benches our best defenders to play others there and if he's there next season I won't be! Wish I'd remembered it on tuesday before I left. Straight run of defeats for killie now. This could have been written by any dons fan a year ago. Funny how absence makes the heart grow fonder. Yes we are pish just now, but try to remember that we were also pish then. lets give the boss a chance and then moan at christmas if he doesn't take it.
  2. Jesus wept, 4 games since he left and we'd consider a return
  3. I liked the bit where if they were all on new 3yr deals they'd be ripping into everything. OR as is more likely they'd do bugger all as their cushy numbers were even easier. If they don't try when due for renewal, why would they try when their pay is guaranteed for 3 yrs? Wasn't sure if he was having a dig at the club for not resigning the shite we currently tolerate. Hopefully just giving those that think they'll get better offers a kick on the ass. Also I'd love to know who these diddy's think will be queuing up to offer them deals.
  4. I reckon he'll step into the job just after Aluko lights up the world cup for nigeria and man city beg us to give them Marshall back
  5. is it the number of shots Dazza mack requires to hit the net
  6. after tonights comments I think a clearout is on the cards, if anyone will take them. Willie seems to harbour high hopes for the academy kids and seems willing to suffer for a year or two of misery to let them establish themselves. Wouldn't mind if it wasn't quite so painful though. MMG still full of confidence that his record stands up and those who appointed him don't believe him to be the problem.
  7. put a donations bin in each stand weekly, job done
  8. TSR, you obviously missed Ifill's virtuoso performance against raith. NO ONE on the bleedin planet could possibly be worse. MMG has to take full credit for this guy sadly
  9. I'm with you Bobby, totally behind JC going, but also thought MM was a hasty decision and we should have spoken to all interested parties. That said he's here now and despite some disasters, the things he is saying are pretty much what the support are thinking.( or me anyway ) It's hard to hound a guy who is pointing out the problems that we've seen for the past 5-10 yrs and no one has challenged so far.
  10. For me Jamie's the king of the bottlers. remember tynecastle semi with UTD, someone throws a pie and he cocks up the rest of the game? Incredible shot stopping at times, but when you need him to do the bread and butter under pressure he more often than not does the unexpected and costs us dearly.
  11. read this yesterday and thought it was pretty much bang on. should be a huge newcastle like club. unfortunately he forgets that a lot of the "good people" of the city are there for the oil and have their own teams from their home towns before they moved north. It'll take more than signing Jim Paterson to convert these people into regular attendees at Pittodrie
  12. like many others I feel they let us all down last night. However, surprised I was not. The players simply for a lack of pride and will to win must shoulder the majority of the blame. MMG though can't deflect all the blame. Who's idea was it to put aluko up front and pump high balls to him for the last 15 mins. ( p.s did you see aluko in the record talking about his hopes for the world cup, after last night he'll have to take up another sport to reach a world cup. His sister has more presence on a pitch ). He also watched Ifill plumb new depths without making further changes and stripped fyvie only to change his mind.( probably felt for the boy going onto that mess, but surely we had nothing to lose by that point as we'd created piss all ) I like MMG and what he has to say, but I find it too hard to believe that a hairdryer wasn't used at half time. If it wasn't it should've been. If it was where was the reaction from the players. I just feel that our lightweight heartless team don't have the desire to chase trophies any more and without the desire to be winners we'll continue to languish just below mediocrity.
  13. gillhaus and shearer for me, not even a decision to make
  14. work before, stay up for game, long drive home afterwards, fancy 4-2 dons, in sth stand or RDS
  15. best I've ever seen Mackie play, didn't think he had it in him. If he keeps up this form he may even become popular
  16. not as terrible as yesterday as suggested but just lacks a presence. we need a grown man in the middle of that team and it's been bloody obvious for a long time. No one fears or respects him. I called for macdonald at start of season, I'll apologise now. PLease give it to big Zander, the only boy with a spine in the team lately.
  17. bisconti, jess, bet and mason. Can't believe someone put dow on the list. I'm still coming to terms with an average joe like heikennen being on that list, and people voting for him. A grafter but no maestro, was he?
  18. I find there to be 2 types of "grown up" in our support. Those who go for the football and the piss artists. The latter I heard calling for McGhee's head, abusing MacDonald and breaking a chair or 2 at starks park. I think the majority are still unsure about McGhee's tenure but understand that it may take some time to change a team fed on high balls for god knows how long. As stated earlier I thought we weren't awful today, just toothless again. Unfortunately the pissed halfwits shout the loudest and get publicity for it. I don't feel MM has done a wonderful job but our youth are getting their chance and if we are ever to make money again we have to let them develop at their own pace.
  19. we had plenty of the ball and never really looked troubled except for the goal. All our woes come from our inability to attack directly. Countless times Kerr and McDonald collected the ball 30 yds out with 10 yds to run into and every time they stopped still and looked to play wide. No one has the balls to run into the box or have a go from distance. Seriously lacking an on field leader going forward. p.s loved big zander flattening the goalie, 1st time in the game we weren't outmuscled.
  20. got 3 tickets after lunchtime, nae bother. Maybe not selling as quick as anticipated. Too many fellas letting a couple of cup blips recently keep them away. I'm hopeful of a few goals on saturday
  21. on sky news too him and McDonald. Suppose if you take the lazy sod you'd need someone to do the running
  22. Powder puff display Felt Fyvie and Marshall both looked to be struggling and as a result there was no support to Mackie ( not that he held anything up )
  23. was on fire after his move, not too popular with his gaffer down there but if he's half the player he was when he was getting a game he's better than what we've got
  24. gutted
  25. nice to see the club using some business sense and ensuring they get something for the boy should he prove to be the genuine article. Which I think he may well be.
