This a record McInnes is trying to beat?

LOL

Cheers!

TIMS 2-1 up now

Tims one down at the macaroni.

This was more my point. Regardless of us finishing 2nd that season, it was a shite watch and I lost a lot of respect for McInnes with the way he conducted himself and "managed" the team around those two games. Had nothing to do with it being them, it just lacked professionalism. Things in my eyes, just started to deteriorate from that season. Essentially, when I left the UK to come here (sorry) ? But Milne made him an offer that was too hard to resist, maybe comfort set in then? Not sure what it was. As I've stated either in this thread or another, I would much prefer him to leave us on good terms (i.e. a successful season) than not. Just not sure if he's capable of or got the desire for it.

Ffs

I see Cosgrove is being linked with Stoke again (according to the Hun). I haven't read the article because of the paper, but I would love that to happen. We're shite up front anyway and he's regressed to what he was like when he arrived. Any money will be good money for him.

Not a fixture we've done well in of late (lost the last two games at Pittodrie) and Motherwell are towards the bottom of the league, so fully expect us to lose this one, either 1 or 3-0 which seems to be a feature of a few of previous results. Our striking issues are there for all to see and the team appears to be a complete mess at the moment. Alluding to Rico's point in the other thread, DM doesn't appear to know what to do with the fringe players and they're not positively contributing to the team's performance. We do also need a few of the other "veterans" to step up and hope our defence isn't complete shite. Club have said the McCrorie's injury isn't as bad as originally feared but will still be out for a number of weeks. Hayes and Taylor both going to be out along with McLennan who has an ongoing foot problem. Not sure why he was on the bench if that was the case, but hey ho. Out Bed Bed breakfast duty 1-0 Well, no dons scorer

Messi sent off for the first time (for Barcelona) tonight:

The bit in bold is true but has been a hallmark of this season, or rather, not achieving that. Teams we used to be beating we either now draw or lose to. Especially the lower teams. It has to happen in the summer (ignoring the point I think it should have happened three years ago), but I think the board will have to suck it up as I don't think results are going to be great between now and then. Five months is a long time and if we're looking likely to miss out on Europe, I'd be interested to see how that plays out. We've got the squad we've got now so he really needs to show what he can do. We can't afford to get rid sooner, but I think the results might test the boards resolve. Personally, I hope for an uptick in results, and we can all leave with reputations in tact. I wish the management team no ill will. I'd love for him to go on his own accord and not ask the club for money, but can't see that happening (it is well within his rights).

hmm, points are looking a bit optimistic at the moment! Tom looks closest.

Almost like he's playing for the sack

Seasons gone by, i'd be looking forward to playing bottom of the table in the knowledge that it would most likely be 3 points. This season however, that has gone out the window. They're shite, changed managers, despite that, they nearly scored shree goals against hibs. I'd hate to be the team that provided them with that. Really hope that DM doesn't persist with this Main and Cosgrove shite. It doesn't work, it's never worked and never will work. Get one of them some proper service and see what happens. I'm sure Wright will continue to play (much to TUP's ire) and hopefully puts in a decent performance to interest a few more suitors south of the border. Out Bed Bed Bed 1-1, Cosgrove pen

Found his level

Boca were a massive let down. Completely lacklustre performance. But credit to Santos, they played some great football and tore them a new one. Don't think Boca had a shot on target? Final is on 30th at the home of South American football*, the Maracana. Should be a cracker. *unless you're from any other South American country

Sakes, I'd even gotten up early for it. Work it is then.

Crikey the apathy really is strong with everyone, eh? I have seen a few on Twitter hoping we lose every game until he's gone. It feels like it's coming to a conclusion of sorts, however I still want us to win every game. Hoping to catch this tomorrow (your today) but PPV has sometimes made it difficult to find a decent stream (unless it's been Hamilton).

As a consequence of the right wing's frothing and satsuma features failed coup, Twitter has removed loads of fuckwits' (trump included) accounts ? Obviously some rabid folk were complaining this is an attack on freedom of speech, but the shite these accounts were spouting went well beyond. So, fuck 'em.

What a weird turn of events. Doubt anyone would have predicted they'd get anywhere near top of the league at any point this season

Exactly, things of beauty ?

This, this is really nice. Opportunity missed imo (if it ever happens): https://www.dezeen.com/2020/12/24/stade-de-la-tuiliere-stadium-lausanne-mlzd-sollberger-bogli/?fbclid=IwAR3pjOGqmNK_NE6vLpTFCtsynAp0NGzdmQHkPNFQPijjtlNZaZhil415Hxg

Lots of chatter about a potential fall out over finances. Personally I think it's probably putting 2+2 and getting 5 but it would be interesting timing. I mean, if we were to lose him, i'd rather he walk out the door than be pushed. Saves the club money and keeps his dignity in tact. That said, not sure I'd want him to go halfway through the jan window?

Didn't the Scottish govt say that Dubai quarantine rules didn't apply so surely in theory that would mean all those who went abroad should be isolating for two weeks? It's a question as i'm not sure what backward rules the UK are using. The authorities (footballing and government) shouldn't have allowed the tims to go, but they're now protecting them. They should have forced them to field an u-17 team or whatever.

Can't believe the authorities refused Hibs' request at getting everyone of the tattie munchers tested ahead of the game. Embarrassing.
