  1. I agree with both names, either Aberdeen arenA or the Northern light Stadium.

    Andy Murray

    Agreed, thats what I meant he doesn't have the British attitude. It works for him and I commend him for it and encourage him to continue. Still don't like the prick though
  3. I must say, the radio commentary didn't give that impression at all! Before the game I probably would have taken a draw given our form, but it just appears that our team doesn't really give a fuck anymore (i know its difficult from making such a comment whilst not being at the game). All huffing and puffing and no end product. Our winless streak certainly hints at that, but I suppose at least we're not losing. Its just frustrating when teams around us are stalling, we appear to be unable to take advantage of it. Great finish from maguire though! And re your point about 3-5-2, didn't hibs play with 2 up front? I thought it always made sense to have a spare defender to cope with an opposition team. But maybe thats just me. I'm not saying he's tactically inept, he just puzzles me.
  4. That has always been the most frustrating thing about JC, never learns from his mistakes. We all know we can't play 3-5-2?!? Why doesn't he! interesting read nonetheless.

    Andy Murray

    Indeed, he has a very un-British like mentality if you get what I mean. Actually has the winning mentality and willing to do anything to get it. I still think he acts like a prick, but hey, the tennis he plays is awesome to watch at times! I'm not sure if winning Wimbledon might be too early for him, but i'm quite confident he will win it sooner rather than later. Might put a cheeky wee bet on him now actually

    Andy Murray

    Baldrick sheep must be gutted, he loved Henman Good to see Murray still making good progress!
  7. I'd agree with this. To the average football fan, I would say the Scottish leagues get fuck all for coverage. The number of times when I visit my grandparents in SW london and open the paper on sunday to find nothing about us after a big game (outwidth the OF and occassionaly Hertz). But I would have thought most clubs would be keeping an eye on activities north of the border and managers would probably see it as a stepping stone.
  8. He has had a fantastic season, I just hope he's with us long term. If JC goes in the summer (unlikely I know) he would probably take him with him. Fuck knows where we'd get a replacement keeper. The only problem Ive ever had with him is his kicking, but fuck me, does he keep us in games, yesterday being a prime example. Hopefully he'll get a shot at being Scotland keeper one day.
  9. It was bloody annoying that it got called off! Was not happy in my hangover status. One thing I will say though, how nice is it not to have advert breaks!
  10. They were saying on the radio it looked like he never knew what he was doing and didn't seem possess the basic football skills you are taught or coached as a kid!
  11. Enjoy the game! Trafford bar ftw! Soul Crew 2 - Swansea 2, referee was hit by a coin from the cardiff city fans! Looked like a good game and the last welsh derby at Ninian park before they move to their new stadium. I always wanted to goto Ninian Park because it was one of the few old rickety grounds left.
  12. Fair enough MA, as you quite rightly said, I don't want him as JC's replacement because I don't think he's that much better and I don't think any other SPL manager would do better. However, we need change, and JC has to go in the summer, the question still remains though, who would be a suitable replacement?
  13. I know I was thinking the same. There was a lot of overtaking today which was great, then the weather came and spoiled it all. Absolutely crazy idea having it carried out at such a late time of the day. In hindsight, that extra hour cost them big time! Those final two laps that Button did were at some pace.
  14. All quite worrying as it clearly had no impact on the team yet again! Man, why is it, when I goto fir park its always the top deck, but today its the bottom?!?!
  15. Furry boots you sat? THe only time i've been to OT I sat in the 3rd tier of the North stand, second row from back....a horrendous view might I add! They need to start turning on the style!
  16. Its really starting to annoy me now! I was just praying that Fulham would hold out for the draw or sneak a goal!
  17. This is what I was alluding to in my previous posts and what concerns me. There is a general lack of urgency surrounding the team and its quite bewildering conserdering a)we've got fuck all form b) we can't score/try to score c) they owe it to the fans to make something of this season!
  18. I'm not denying that, but it just worries me that we can't win and don't look like winning. When did we last score more than one goal? It sounded again like we couldn't even get the basics right (Mulgrew especially) and only started to play football when Aluko came on. I just find it all rather concerning.
  19. You didn't listen to the game? Motherwell more than dominated, absolutely battered us in the first half. According to the ommentators, Macdonald had his first touch of the ball in about the 30th min Starting 3-5-2 was a disaster and the commentator rightly said this was madness and I think it was about then we went 4-4-2. Second half we played better, but it sounded like we were continually at risk at conceding on the counter attack.
  20. Fair enough, but that doesn't win games, its the other end of the park that counts and we're absolutely shite at it. I just don't feel that there is much to be positive about AFC at the moment. Well done to Langfield for saving a point for us and well done to Maguire for scoring.
  21. That was terrible listening. Sounded like we lacked almost a bit of everything, especially a cool head in defence! I'm not convinced we'll win another game this season the way we are playing. We cannot seem to score more than one goal anymore, almost like we used all our lives up in January.
  22. We're shite, not in it at all in the first half, and second half we're slightly better. get in the chat!
  23. OneZero, get in the chat room! Sounds like it was Mulgrew's fault completely. How many goals has he cost us this season?
  24. FFS 1-0 already
  25. Someone must still be drunk from last night
