First of the bottom six games. Need a win or two to make sure we don't get drawn into the shitfest that will likely be against DM. Don't think I'd trust the team not to fuck that up, so a win here please. Out Bed Bed Probably at home 1-0 Dons, Ferguson

Really enjoy what they have to offer. Need to the latest ones yet though.

They don't even hide it these days. Do they still have that god awful bagpiped intro?

Personally, I don't rate McKenzie, but given his age i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. As Rico says, I think he was a breath of fresh air post McInnes, but every time I saw him, I couldn't understand the hype. I mean, he probably wasn't helped by the CB's who were atrocious for most of the season, but I don't see it in him. Hopefully the research and funds are available this summer as we've helluva lot to do, again. Crucial to get it right this season as the club cannot afford to be bottom six fodder again.

Been watching the following of late: - Louis Theroux - Forbidden America - Doesn't do much to make me think there is much intelligent life (US based dandies aside of course) in the US. Good TV regardless - Umbrella Academy - Enjoyable - Super Pumped - much like any megalomaniac in the end. I wanted to like him, but was a complete tosser.

Sorry for the down time over the weekend. Timed itself well with the clusterfuck served to us on Saturday. Anyway, thanks for your patience.

And we're back! Guess we might see a few more sedate replies compared to the weekend...

Why, something happen this week?

I don't mind the length, but mainly because it gives me time to listen to a full episode near enough on my commute (bus / train / walk and vice versa). Interviews they have are always good value and generally not your typical stuff. It does however mean, I don't have too much time for other pods, but I am trying to listen to the variety to keep the opinions fresh.

That’s true, I’m just embarrassed for all parties. It’s shite and not the way a person of his calibre deserves his career to end (with the club). Club doing a good job of alienating some fans this season. Regardless, yet another huge transfer window coming up. Please don’t fuck it up for once.

Absolutely, allowing a statement like that to come from the club is tin pot. An absolute embarrassment from the club. I don't disagree with the decision, unfortunately it sounds like the agent was a cunt, but no party looks good now. Truly shite state of affairs. The way our club is lead from the top really doesn't bring me with pride.

Head, possibly the right move re: Consi, but heart definitely thinks he deserved to stay and finish his career at his boyhood club. I don't doubt he'd have hung up his boots if he didn't think he was able to contribute. Huge risk losing his experience, certainly don't trust what is left behind anyway. Ramirez going would be frustrating. He's clearly a poacher but has had fuck all service for months. Probably was very close to Glass, but not much we can do about that. McGeouch is a frustrating one. Clearly a player there, we just don't see it often enough because he get's a knock. I'd still be tempted to keep him, unless they've got big plans that they're confident on. Certainly can't be having another transfer window like the last (even ignoring the shite three or four we've had prior to that).

Couldn't mind if it was sleeves or shorts. That actually sounds even worse.

I see some are claiming we've failed to get a blue chip main sponsor so having shit loads of adverts (3) on shirt, shorts.

Really is make or break. Whilst I share some peoples confidence that hearts will get at least a point of not all three against hibs, I do not share this optimism that we can beat county. Their results haven’t been bad and not out of it. Also depends on livi only drawing with Well. Our season has been a shit storm and it would take an absolute miracle to make the top 6. Just feel we’ve left ourselves with far too much to do and rely on luck. A draw would sum up our season. anyway, think we need to bring consi in for this, need some sort of experience at the back. God know what we can do to get Ramirez out of his shite run of form. I’d rather he didn’t leave in the summer (as rumoured). But we need to give him some service. Surely Watkins starts as well? out bed bed bed 1-1, Ferguson

Surprised at how many folk think it’s entirely feasible to win next week. The hibs result was a bit of a freak. I can see hearts winning and us drawing. Would be the typical way of the season. anyway, will check out the highlights from this game later. Sounds like the same old problems that have dogged us this all season. Wonder what we can do to get Ramirez out of this funk?

Had wondered if I’d heard that right, so they are playing Qatar? Fucksake.

Back in action after the international break. Feels like an age since we played last. Hopefully the guys will have some confidence after the win against hibs and worked on building on it. dees form isn’t great but neither is ours, but I’d hope that we’re heading in the right direction. Hopefully Ramirez finds his scoring touch again, has looked a frustrated figure. out bed bed bed 2-1 dons, Ramirez and Ferguson

Have they given any more about his death yet? Very sad news, was an excellent drummer but I know he OD’d from heroin years ago. When I heard “in a hotel room in Bogotá” my mind thought the worst.

Not sure how he thought that was going to be overturned. Your last sentence is spot on though

Not sure why Hivs are appealing that, clear as day, although is there something about attempting to get the ball? Not sure he has a leg to stand on as he's clearly just going to take the guy out to try and stop an inevitable goal. Decent finish from Besuijen, although it looked like he was aiming for the top corner and not where it ended up? Maybe it's just met. But still, great finish and good persistence from Watkins. A shame the intl' break has come when it has.

The cheeks should be pleased, at least they're guaranteed one of them in the final...

Hibs aren't that good, but then again, neither are we. Hopefully the team will have used the two week break to their advantage, and if there were any clashing ego's, that's now resolved. Really need a result here as I don't want to rely on those below being shiter than us to avoid a play off. Out Bed Bed Bed 1-1, Ferguson

Yep, no real issues with this on the basis he’ll be back up. Brilliant professional, and clearly loves the club. Regardless, huge summer ahead

Good to see Magoo's time at the Dees is going well. Although saints winning is shite for us.
