Aint gonna happen. This season.

How exactly can this ten team set up do anything other than reduce revenues for non-OF clubs given the 'properly funded' SPL 2? I haven't seen that explained anywhere. I cannot see the OF taking any financial hit in order to provide more cash to SPL 2 clubs. Therefore how is the guaranteed 2nd home game against OF clubs enough to cancel out the loss for clubs like ours? We're structuring an entire country's league system around 2 teams and the issue seems to be less about the good of the league, more about massaging the OF ego as they're embarrassed among their european pals to be playing in such a poorly structured league. 'Financial sense' and 'improved performance' are smokescreens. We'll still be given the same, or worse rations and the standard will be still be as dire because we play each other too often. The fans get bored, the players get bored. Until the tail stops wagging the dog, no benefit will come our way.

short term fixes are a pile of shit. But I suppose from jan to end of the season would be better than nothing. Would have been a great signing 5 years ago but I really hope plans are afoot for someone better to bring in for next season.

This theme and the fact that minijc's demon seed had been spunked over every thread made me think I'd stumbled into the hat by mistake. Tyrant's alternating colours would be a good idea.

I said aitken but that was only based on the fact that his time at the club seemed to me like the begining of our transition from contenders to what we are now. from top down the club's mentality seemed to change then. Although I was young and until recently thought it had been Aitken who bought Winters. So I'm not entirely convinced my mind hasn't just chosen to erase all memory of alex miller completely....

radio's been raving about a craig gordon save all day. Rate him very highly and how anyone thinks mcgregor should be number 1 for scotland baffles me. Bruce seems to be doing an immense job all things considered and comes across as a very decent guy too.

Ok, in future I'll change my opinions about what's logical so as to suit your paranoia.

After playing at teh top end of the league and in CL, he's not exactly going to be content to play for aberdeen for any length of time anyway so personal grudges against him for turning blue-nose are completely irrelevent. We need to be looking for a replacement either way, so cashing in on him in summer is probably best for all concerned.

Because they're greeting faced cunts. Should this not be a 'let's all laugh at motherwell' thread now anyway?

The man they never had under contract who has officially resigned? hahahahahahahahahah YASS we're no longer the SPL's biggest joke club!!

If and when he's confirmed as boss I'll stop going on about why the whole idea of this feels to me like the next in a long line of disasters at afc. But the point about seeing what these lot are made of - I think I mentioned the other day. Players out of contract have no reason to sign on again on the basis of the club putting a temporary plaster over a gaping wound. How is this appointment going to allow us to build a foundation for Brown's successor? Just seems like blind faith to me. The rebuilding job required is so monumental that Brown won't have time to do half of it at his age. It's an appointment I could have welcomed in say Feb/March when, in our league position, relegation would be a very present danger. But it's not at all with 24 games left to play of the season. We'd be better with someone that players look at and think they could be my boss for 3 or 4 years. This is all just pathetically desperate. We're the footballing equivalent of some guy at a party who is so desperate to get his hole that instead of at least trying it on with any of the young, semi-attractive women up until the end of the night, he goes straight for the haggered old piss-stinking wifey who happened to be close by. Still though. Any hole's a goal I suppose. Welcome aboard.

nae all of us are. Short-term bullshit.

Or that when intricate business dealings are taking place, the players (canteen staff, car park attendants) are probably not going to be kept in the loop minute by minute.

Just heard Brown has resigned from well

How does any of that make it seem like he's changed his mind? The only thing that suggets Brown is on the verge of taking over is the journo's intro saying Brown is on the verge of taking over. No substantiation and basically just a load of assumptions.

In/oot: In Prematcher: Train (hopefully) then Roseburn During the game: Where ever I'm put, if the tickets arrive in time Postmatcher: the weeg Prediction: sickening

Acht shittybumflaps! Just realised Milan at home fucked my £6 into £40+ four teamer. I hate that Berlusconi cunt even more now.

That would mean us going managerless for roughly another month. What do you take our board for? A feckless bunch of pussies who'd hang on, hang on and hang on a wee bit longer while their choice of manager dicks us around and alienates us before even starting work?? Oh. wait. ah. yes. yes you may be on to something there actually.

I hope it's off.

Thank fuck. Can't say I expect anyone much better, but still, thank fuck.

Any Human Heart. Aquired taste probably but I've been liking it. Been 3 of 4 eps so far. Probably all on 4oD.
