Spot on. I've always felt that a defender will be able to see the whole game, if not the keeper. Was Schmeichal not captain for united sometimes? The only thing is, it may come too early for him. But he's certainly been the standout player this season.

Great isn't it As I said, I apologise or negativety today. Just so disappointed. I'm sure i'll feel a bit better tomorrow. Just hasn't been the best of weeks for the club.

I suppose so, but we were talking about this in the pub today. The last decent game he's had, was against the huns in May. Thats a long time to be absolutely atrocious. And even prior to that, he's hardly stepped up to the plate has he. He's been near enough rotten for a season and a half. Its not good enough for someone who is "captain" of our club. I appreciate I may be being harsh here, but I'm just fed up.

Thats not his responsiblity is it? I honestly think, and i'm sure everyone has thought, the club needs clearing out in the way it is being run. I don't think anyone behind the scenes is doing their job properly. From as you said, bringing in decent sponsors (although hopefully with us being in Europe will give us a bit more bargaining power) right down to players contracts and marketing. It is a joke.

It looked like a horrible challenge. Hope he's not out for too long.

It was, but then that left us short in the midfield and so on and so on. Vicious circle really. But I've actually lost patience with Severin. He offers us absolutely nothing even when in position.

I don't think Milne would do it anyway. I'll never forget the post Copenhagen dressing room shot, and the commentators were on about wonder if he'll give any money now...Hibs fan I was with today even brought up "Toaster gate". But if he is in it for the money, he's in the wrong business i'm afraid. I wouldn't chuck millions at Aberdeen, especially with the board thats there. I think we should just accept that this is the best form of leadership we're going to get in the foreseeable future. As someone said, better the devil you know and all that...

I agree, he should have dealt with this issue the moment he know Anderson was leaving. But no. He didn't. And this is why we are in the predicament we're in. But now is as good of a time as any to FINALLY get this sorted. Because we've been unsettled at the back, it has a terrible effect on the rest of the team. If anyone can see it, why can't Jimmy. To be honest, I thought that Nicholson wasn't too bad today, but as soon as he went off, I knew the game was lost. We actually attacked Smeltic when he was on. Then he went off and we were incapable of doing very much. I also do think the players have given up. The ones who are leaving (Miller, Lovell and Nicholson, especially Nicholson) are probably resigned to the fact that they have a manager (and I use the word losely) who has no clue how to manage. I think a seagul would do better. At least they attack (albeit it chips and people's heads). Please bear in mind, i was not an anti-jimmy person, but i'm coming round to the idea. I worry he has taken us as far as he can and its a slippery slope down. Anyway, as I've said before, the sooner we're out of th Uefa cup, the better. We need to get this sorted Jimmy, Come on. Stop complaing and get the job done.

That was absolutely atrocious (2nd 1/2). The first half, we were playing ok, and should have taken our chances. Mackie, please, gtf. Foster, gtf. Even a mate who was with me (who doesn't know much about football) said he was having an absolute mare. Sevi, please take a running jump. Maguire, what is your purpose, you can't even control a simple pass. I think he needs to keep the same back four. they need time to gel. That wasn't the worst defensive performance. But we have no midfield so I think that piles on the pressure on any defence we have. I know this is all just general non sensical rubbish but i'm actually lost for words. Worst part is, I predicted 1-5, so why I didn't put a wager on i'll never know...I'm just so disappointed right now.

I think 3/4 players in that make a good defence. Not 4/4 as I haven't seen Bus play. Who knows, this could *touch wood* be our strongest yet. Heres to hoping anyway! Mon the reds! Can't quite work out if that makes sense You get what I mean though.

We are sectarian, we are sectarian...oh wait...oops

That bit amuses me most: Rest of article http://www.sundayherald.com/sport/shfootball/display.var.2032979.0.the_mad_house.php But alas it is all true. Nevermind eh, hopefully this will work in our favour! Mon the reds!

Welcome aboard!

Here here! Get right into the bastards!

I noticed that. But at least st. Midden got a result there. Though not exactly the best of days for us, could have been much worse Lets get into these potato munching bastards tomorrow!

Come on St Midden and Killie then!

I see the Jambo cunts are winning and as are Caley Thistle. Does this mean Thistle overtake us in the league? At least the Arabs drew with Hibs! Hearts 2-0 Gretna Velicka 3 Velicka (pen) 42 Motherwell 0-0 Kilmarnock Rangers 1-0 Falkirk Boyd 23 St Mirren 0-1 Inverness CT Munro 28

Computer says no?

I don't think we've had a decent loan signing since Di Rocco. But still, they freshen up the squad, possibly put people on their toes (current team aside as nothing seems to be able to do that).

At the end of the day a national trophy is a national trophy. Sure beats the hell out of anything we've won in the past few years. But still, let's see what state of affairs we're in by the end of the season. If we're not in the top 3-5. Questions will have to be asked. Over to you JC. Lets see what you're really made of.

You mean we can actually complete four consecutive passes? Thats a cause for a celebration

Thats a bit worrying if true. And would certainly make sense as to why no-one knows what the hell they're supposed to be doing! What the hell is going on at our club

Exactly, as far as i'm concerned the cup means nothing unless we're involved in it. Who cares who wins it, I hate both teams.

It is a sad state of affairs.

Just a thought, but could his poor form be due to the fact he hasn't got his future sorted? I mean, it seemed like running up to christmas he was in form, then throughout january he's be pish. Not exactly the best way to put yourself in the shop window is it. Just a thought mind.
