we're all ok with the maradona hand of god so can't be too upset with this. it's liverpool fans that should be upset they had to cheat to win against bloody mansfield

If we can get broon out, worth a look for a freebie in 3 months? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20925281

Not sure we should listen to someone who can't count. both their top-flights are 10 teams. I would love to see us have a regional system in place below two divisions plus a sort of conference premier though. Think it could give local football a real boost all over the country.

I'd take McCourt if it didn't mean losing anyone other than fraser. Similar position to McGinn with the tims and possibly McGinn's season is showing these fringe players that there's more to life than bench warming.

i'd tentatively suggest less. The new boss will hopefully look at his good scoring record thus far and think he needs to keep a guy like that around for a bit to get a proper look at him. then if he wants to get him out the door from feb onwards he can loan him in england (i think?).

mon the Elgin! 1-1 after 87th min Alexander og

when did the london huns start singing 10 men went to mow?? they started it up there, but only got as far as 10. Counting backwards must be tough when you've got 11 fingers.

Wouldn't touch Riorden under any circumstances. O'Connor almost certainly not either, but in an ideal world where he cleaned up his act immediately he might have one or two more years in him. Can't see Brown signing people like that anyway. This would be a decent shout. When you look at how unfairly Dundee were fucked around til the last minute by the SPL and oldco, it emphasises how stupid the transfer windows are. They really deserve a chance to build a team for the top-flight.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20898940 The really important question is, will he be wanking left handed?

until it (plus sectarianism, homophobia, sexism and whatever else) get punished the same as crowd violence there's no end to it. why can't people just be satisfied with calling everybody fucking cunts and leave it at that?

He's definitely been good enough in general imo, but badly exposed by lack of full-backs or midfield in the last month or so, and shouldn't be having to play quite as many games as he has. it's so important that we bring in at least one defender this month.

Minks (even though our lot did one in fir park) Police are appealing for information after 18 seats in the away end of Pittodrie were damaged during the New Year fixture against Dundee United. http://m.local.stv.tv/aberdeen/news/208315-police-appeal-after-seats-vandalised-at-aberdeen-v-dundee-utd-game/

Maybe whoever did this is a sheer khant but it sounds like a hulla Baloo about nothing

i was genuinely surprised they went with this as the live game when us v tsmstid was an option. the people who run football and tv companies are so fucking moronic. they can only see football/rivalry in the most simplistic terms. 'oh they're from the same city, what a game that'll be!' never mind the fact that no one alive remembers a time when hearts and hibs were genuinely vying against each other for league titles. total bullshit rivalry for a city full of poncy dickheads.

LA ROSCA PERFECTA!!!!! http://www.marca.com/ direct link - http://www.marca.com/2013/01/03/futbol/futbol_internacional/1357215550.html Thought McGinniesta deserved a wee thread to himself. Nice to see they're following our games in Madrid

I was always surprised Murphy stayed so long, and the gratitude he's shown in terms of the fee is bloody heartwarming too. cunt. Joe Cole away to West Ham and pool are paying 50k of his wages or summingk like that. who makes the decisions at anfield? this and andy carrol make em seem totally brain-dead sometimes. quite like sturridge tho tbf.

Blades now got Murphy. Ridiculous decision from the player to go to league 1 imo. People need to learn from Kiegan Parker. Good players mostly achieve fuck all chasing the buck all the way to obscurity!

I'm not bothered about Butcher's connections too much, and he and Malpas seem to have a good thing going, though given the abuse Calderwood got for having any blue nose past, I can't really see him getting a fair crack of the whip.

I haven't seen yesterday's game, but assuming clangers did fuck up for the 2nd then that makes 3 obvious points he's cost us directly this season. Over all we've dropped well into double-figures of points that our play supposedly merited. I agree we need to look for a long-term replacement for langfield, but mainly because of his age. I completely disagree with anyone who says he doesn't make saves that any other keeper can't - on boxing day he made one of the saves of the season (as well as saving a pen), but the midfield and defence let well walk all the way through FOUR TIMES, leaving langfield totally exposed. mcginn missed an open goal at 0-0, which surely has to be the outfield equivalent to throwing it in your own net. Quite rightly he didn't get slated for that because we let him get on with his job and score next time out. Clangers doesn't get that same respect, which is really sad to see considering how much he's given to the cause. At St Johnstone, sections of the crowd were screaming abuse at J Brown straight from the warm up, and at well the same was happening to Langfield. Screaming at him that he's a cunt while he comes over to sign autographs for a young girl is pretty depressing. What is it with our fans that we constantly look to undermine the confidence of our keepers?! In an ideal world I'd love to see us find a better replacement, but at the end of the day, as TF says, there is very likely NO chance of a quality goalkeeper coming in Jan, and every keeper we've brought in to challenge clangers has failed. If we can get a long-term first choice in the summer than great, but the priority has to be addressing the areas of the pitch in order of the number of points they are costing us. Unquestionably that for us means at least one full-back, probably a centre half. And in terms of replacing positions, it's up front we need to get players replaced more desperately than in goals.

you can tell your hun mate to try and get himself signed up elsewhere. the cunt.

is it this summer he's signed up til?
