https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DeZeVUHWkAE6kSP.jpg 1-0 down at half time thanks to a penalty when ball struck McKenna’s arm following a fuck up by Archer. McKenna been playing well so far. Full backs both very poor for us. That said we were pretty comfortable until Archer decided to try and tackle his own player. On this showing France and Denmark will easily qualify from their group.

You would like to think so as we knew for some time that most of those listed were leaving.

Tansey been told he has no future at Dons according to P&J. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/1484072/dons-midfielder-greg-tansey-told-he-has-no-future-at-pittodrie-just-one-year-after-joining/

SSN reporting Jack Ross to be appointed as Sunderland manager this afternoon. http://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/11695/11382737/sunderland-agree-terms-with-st-mirren-manager-jack-ross

West Ham appoint Pellegrini as manager to replace Moyes. https://www.eurosport.co.uk/football/premier-league/2017-2018/west-ham-confirm-manuel-pellegrini-appointment_sto6766109/story.shtml

Sunderland officially taken over today and debt written off. Might not be such a basket case going forward.

Garry Rowett been given permission to speak to Stoke by Derby according to SSN.

Cannot wait for World Cup to start. I always enjoy them. Even the ones the experts have slated as being poor. Will get to see most of 7pm games and hopefully some of 1pm games if boss is out of the office. Lucky enough to have attended a World Cup which Scotland have been at. Amazing experience.

:lolabove: As for plastic pitches until they are as good as a well maintained grass pitch then they have no place in top divisions.

Chelsea win a piss poor FA cup final 1-0.

Normally I would be wanting the non bigot team to win but way we lost the semi final still has me raging. I cannot even bring myself to watch it so out watching Bonnyrigg v Sauchie instead. If the team we played so poorly against were to go on to win the cup I will be a seething mess ata blown chance. Plus the extra 2 weeks off could be vital to get players in and settled given the rebuilding job we have this summer.

Last bit is what I find odd about praise given to Cosgrove. He does not seem to have any strikers instincts and has rarely been in the right position so far. It might come but 1 goal in nearly 40 games most of which were at a lower level than Stockley is currently playing at suggests otherwise. Stockley was also pish and is playing at his level.

Moyes punted by West Ham according SSN.

Really like that strip.

Although Stewart and the swimmer were wide players they were never going to track back to provide the support to our full backs the way Hayes and McGinn did.

Never keen about signing defenders from a relegated team.

2nd in the league is a decent finish given twice we had club disrupted by speculation around the manager. Cup performances especially the way we were beaten in both games was very disappointing. Best performance this season was 4-1 destruction of Leith Junkies but there were few games where we reached that level. Performances against the Tribute Act were especially disappointing. The recruitment this summer needs to be better. We need to get players who fit the system we play rather than just getting in whoever is available and trying to fit square pegs into round holes.

Load of Celtic players omitted at Rodgers request. Probably explains why Dons players selected.

And gave my tickets for both to others as well.

Got first 3 right. Happy to have been wrong on last 2 fixtures.

Was it not 1357 tickets. £27 plus booking fee to only see half the pitch was another reason for my non attendance.

Not putting myself through another Dons game at Parkhead especially with the green orcs celebrating yet another title. We have been miles behind Celtic this season and cannot see that changing on Sunday. McKenna suspended so we will need to make changes at the back. Christie not being available against his parent club is probably a good thing as he has not kicked a ball for us since the turn of the year. Fully expect us to stick with punting long balls up to Cosgrove and hoping something comes from that. Bet we win because I am not there. Oot Travelling to Galashiels. Park in Galashiels with Bairn Cumbernauld Colts v Selkirk Lowland League Cup Final 3-0 no Dons scorer
