Possibly if we lose both and, god forbid, end up six points adrift?

Stu Smith?

Is she nae the wifie that dodged out of the way of Milne in the dressing room after the Copenhagen game, when he was going round congratulating/hugging everyone. He went towards her and she turned and ran .

I think it was more the balck and white nature oft he comment that I was thinking about rather than the comment itself. Obree's narrative, to me, seemed to suggest he felt that the focus of going for the records and gold medals kept his demons at bay. It didn't seem to me like he acknowledged that those same demons gave him the ability to push himself further that most other human beings would have been capable of. A "I don't care if I live or die attitude" that he seems to acknowledge at various other points in the story of his life. I wonder if its the solitudinal aspect of the sport that seems to predispose participants to psychological problems or if thats what attracts those who are predisposed to psychological problems to the sport?

Steve Cotterill he could have someone with knowledge of the Scottish game as his assistant. He'd have our underachievers sorted out within the week.

I finished Ghost after being inspired here, flew through it, another good Harris book easy to see who some of the characters are loosely based on. Didn't fly through it quite as quick as I did The Road when I gave that another go, difficult to understand how the boy could be compassionate about other human beings when all he has ever experienced was kill or be killed, but I suppose that was the point of the story. I didn't quite get the bit about the fish at the end, was it trying to say that there were places where the world was habitable and food was plentiful, or is it referring back to a time in the past? Or am I taking it a bit to literally. Also read Graeme Obree's autobiography, I never realised how fucked up an individual he is, not surprising given his childhood and that so many people close to him lost their lives. Towards the end I kept thinking of Rocket Scientists rant about how people were either mentally strong and winners or mentally weak and losers. Obree in no way could be classed as a loser; two time world hour record holder, and two time world pursuit champion. I suppose you could argue that he could have achieved more if it hadn't been for psychological troubles but at the same time I think if it wasn't for his "demons" he would never have pushed himself as far or as hard as he did. Well worth a read anyway if only to discover a true Scottish sporting hero.

Exactly! Don't quite understand that thinking as by the same token we are two losses away from being six points off 11th

I didn't want to be like Robbo and cut and paste posts onto both . Seriously though as a striker, there are two ways to look at it. If you look at it from a Jimmy point of view; Is he any worse than what we have? I doubt it, sign him up! from a sensible point of view; Will he significantly improve the team? I doubt it, don't bother with him. Would he not have to sign on as an amateur outwith the window anyway? If that's the case why not offer him a deal till xmas.

Everyone is missing something though, as I posted over on the Hat, he would surely be a better backup option than Bossu. I doubt Bossu has or ever will play in goals in a cup final.

I heard this is to be our new stadium... It appears the designers have even included Lee Miller already lying down in the box!

Did we play well against the Huns? I didn't think so, only because they played worse than us, did we get a draw.

Quality mullet! TBF the wee speccy kid in the first picture looks like he might be better than Bossu

Surely better than Bossu?

What was the inappropriate bit then?

I think most can see and understand all points of view, I know we have gone on bad runs in the past under Jimmy and he has turned it around. He has stabilised the club and I think he can keep us stable, I hope we go on a run of wins now. I agree that sacking him now is probably not in the best interests of the business given the 2 3/4 season he has left to run on his contract. There has to be a point where someone (whether that be Jimmy himself or Milne) has to act. Then again it would be entirely symptomatic of the entire club for us to continue to produce bad results and for no changes to happen. Jimmy thinks its acceptable for the playing staff, so presumably it's acceptable for the management, and it has been evident in the boardroom for the last 15 years or so.

Potentially 8 points off third place... or Potentially dead last after 8 games and out of the the CIS cup, after spending £200K in the summer...

I put depends how badly we loose because if we get humped surely his position becomes untenable. Lets face it, if Jimmy had got the team playing to their potential in every game we should be top having only dropped points to Celtic, ironically the only team Jimmy got a performance out of his players against this season.

HA HA!

Says something when a hairdresser can come in and put two goals away, but Tommy and Maguire only get one each.

Agree that they need confidence but on the flip side is being left out for two striker that couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo doing the other two lads confidence any good? How many games do they get (when they come in) to get their confidence levels up?

What the fuck was the point in spending £100000 on Tommy Wright if he's not going to get played, even if the the strikers who are playing are playing shit. Christ that's money that could have gone towards the feasibility study for the new ground .

I was having a look on the Aberdeen mad forum this morning and there was a gadgie on there suggesting that it wasn't a three year contract that was signed? Likely bullshit from someone who desperately wants people to think he is in the know (and I'm worse for repeating it), but...?

I agree, but is it any worse than having 12 years of management experience and still not have a clue what your doing?

Noticed on the BBC rumours bit that Windass has been approached for a player/manager role at Grimsby. *Edit* Just been on the hat and according to Stoney he has been approached by us. Bamba and Windass a winning combination .
