  1. I completely understand that and that is not my point, what I find unnecessary are the comments in the press today.
  2. I'm sure he can take jusified criticism given in the correct manner. Lets hope he can get over the unproffesional way in which the criticism has been given out in this instance and can be the bigger man. Lets also hope that his confidence hasn't taken a knock because of it. I wonder how Jimmy would react if Sone went out gave a spellbinding performance against Rangers on Saturday, as he comes off gives Jimmy the V's shouts "stick that up your arse, cuprinol" then goes to the press saying "That performance was inspite of my managers comments last week not because of them".
  3. So why not say "Thats is an internal club matter and I have no comment to make" Instead he repeats something that angered Aluko on Saturday and is going to alienate him further today.
  4. A "WITH" too many in that sentence.
  5. Despite Jimmy not being scared of these guys hiding behind their keyboards, I can't see him doing something like this. http://www.cheltenhamtownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10434~1446837,00.html Martin's also organising a match between the fans and the first team squad at Whaddon Road for £150 per person as another fund-raiser. (I'm not sure how long you get on the pitch for but suppose it depends on how many will fork out.) We've also had "be part of the match-day squad" where a couple of fans paid to travel with the first team squad London for the Millwall game, join in the warm-up, tactics talk, dressing room before kick off etc. He certainly knows how to go about making himself popular with the folk on the terraces. Surely making the club an extra few quid in the process. AFC could surely organise "a 10 minute session with Jimmy at Tan-orama" or "a night on the piss with the Aberdeen first team squad at Soul"
  6. Whats confusing about: 1-0-9
  7. Aren't they going to win the champions league this year?
  8. Didn't and doesn't Deano train every day? I know what your saying though. Just a naturally big guy. As for the intensive fitness thing why isn't Tommy doing this know as surely what the players do during the season is only maintaining their fitness.
  9. Is there nae a bit in the episode where Mr Burns is trying to catch the Loch Ness monster , where they drain the loch to reveal *somthing* that has "aberdeen sucks" graffiti on it and Homer says, on reading it: "No Way Aberdeen rules!"
  10. I've re-read my post a few times and still can't see where you get that I think thats what will happen. It was a response to your question "what does it actually mean?", in the form of a question. In the same way you have attempted to answer your question, with questions .
  11. Possibly if we lose both and, god forbid, end up six points adrift?
  12. 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 .
  13. 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?
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Exactly! Don't quite understand that thinking as by the same token we are two losses away from being six points off 11th
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I heard this is to be our new stadium... It appears the designers have even included Lee Miller already lying down in the box!
  20. Did we play well against the Huns? I didn't think so, only because they played worse than us, did we get a draw.
  21. Quality mullet! TBF the wee speccy kid in the first picture looks like he might be better than Bossu
  22. Surely better than Bossu?
  23. What was the inappropriate bit then?
