Murphy mentions this morning about wanting to move to a club that would pay a fee to Motherwell as he wanted to make sure the club got something. Sheffield United are a big well supported club and not the same as joining a Hartlepool or Oldham. I would think its a decent move by Murphy as he should shine in that league and either get promotion with Sheffiedl United or do enough to attract a team from further up the leagues.

Just out of interest how would folk feel about Butcher as next Dons manager. Not that I am suggesting he will be but he has Caley punching well above their weight again this season and seems to be able to find cheap players who are able to do well in the SPL. However would his previous club (now deceased) go against him. Thoughts?

Anybody else think 13,000 was a bit low for crowd. Looked more to me. We really need replace both keepers in this window as neither is any good. I really do think we will be lucky to keep McGinn past the summer. Far to good for this league.

Wonder why the sudden change of heart from Dons? Is this just a smoke screen to get fans of the lad's back as club want to play him until he leaves or hopefully club realising they acted to hastily when withdrawing original offer?

In Boozer in town Y Train back to Edinburgh No idea as to how this will go. Both teams capable of putting in great performance or horrendous one.

From memory you cannot give a player under 18 a deal longer than two years.

Agreed. Non longer a mans game and now a non contact sport.

Thought it was pretty poor first half yesterday but once we got goal there was only going to be one winner. McGinn was excellent and thought Hayes had a good 2nd half. Think we may have to fend off interest from English clubs in McGinn come January 1st. Dundee were rotten and look like they will be going straight back down unless they get some players in January.

Brother is a steward at Dundee says we are to expect cops and door staff to be very strict on Saturday and anyone who is suspected of being drunk is to be refused entry following the behaviour of the Plastics on Boxing Day.

Brown has improved us however it has to be asked how difficult was it to improve on the cluster fuck that was McGhee. Brown himself has said that our budget is far in excess of what he had at Motherwell and more than most of the rest of the league but in his time he has still only managed to get the team winning just over a 1/3 of his 99 games in charge (34) so is he really doing all that well. Even this season we have only won 7 out of 20 league games maintaining his 1 in 3 win average. Brown has however stabilised the team and we now have a decent platform to build on which is what he is good at. I cannot see him being the manager to take us beyond where we are now which is a mid table side in the league and his habit of bottling big games means we will not win a cup under him. If we want to win something or take a stab at getting regular European football I do think that we need to look elsewhere in the summer.

Me. Forgot to ask for it.

IN/OOT - In Pre-match - Train then some random boozers between station and ground Match - Away Stand Post Match - some random bozzers between ground and station then train to Edinburgh Prediction - Even playing pish we should be good enough to beat this mob.

Frees up Eric Black for the Dons job in the summer.

Given how long both been out injured is there any point in this.

Not sure if going to make this one as no trains from Edinburgh on Boxing Day. Suspect Well will be better than they were in cup replay but if we play as we did on Saturday would be confident of taking 3 points from the game.

Was this always a mid week game?

Am I the only one going to this? Does not look like any of injured players will be back and with Clangers suspended we are stuck with Brown in goal. Having lost last three in league really need to win this one going into busy Christmas period. In Another stupidly early train Y Oot in town for night 0-0

Langfield appeal rejected apparently. Farce if true.

Remember watching it on TV as a kid and thinking that winning european trophies was easy and something we would be doing every year.

I thought they were progressing this time last year according to the board.

Bit early to be on the booze is it not?

Sadly their view point is probably not that rare for supporters in Russia or Ukraine.

Article looks like its based on internet rumors from various chat sites.

Brutal game. Wrong end to see if it was a penalty or not but even if it was a penalty it was never a sending off. We really need to find away of getting Vernon out of the midfield and Fallon back to New Zealand.

Oh FFS.
