Not a great performance but a great result. Agree with Bobby's comments on Church. Contributed square root of fuck all but scored. Will take that to end of the season from him. McLean really needs to start scoring goals. He keeps getting into good positions then fucking up. Rest of his game is fine. That was the sort of result that teams that win leagues dig out when they do not play well.

Quarter finals weekend. Tribute Act currently 1-0 up Dundee. Ross County v United later today with Hibs v Caley and Victim FC v Morton tomorrow.

Livi Reds looking at running a bus to Partick on the 8th. Bus would depart Livingston at 6pm. If anyone interested drop me a pm and I pass on contact details.

Pawlett broke his arm during United game apparently. Out for a good few weeks.

Yes. Even in the 4th division in England it's still full time professional league where as in the seaside leagues its part time teams and even an amateur side. There is a massive difference between the level of competition a player would be facing.

Good win but could and should have been more if it was not for some woeful finishing from Church and McLean especially. Have to say Robson was excellent tonight which is not something I was expecting to be saying when I heard he was playing at 7pm. Arabs had chances and Scott Brown produced a couple of excellent saves near the end. Nervous finish due to not taking chances.

Fans of Victim FC at there finest. On aside note the blaming of referees by some Dons fans for our recent run of results has been bordering on this level of paranoia.

This.

Falkirk now only point behind Hibs. If Hibs finish 3rd that means 3 play off ties (6 games). Not a chance they are winning them all. They are going to be a first division side next year. No way they can continue paying wages they are if that is the case. Can see them being in deep trouble next season.

County beating Killie 2-0 currently. If Arabs win tomorrow they are 5 points behind Killie with a game in hand. Great escape could be on.

Not looking forward to this one. United seem to have turned things around of late and have put together some decent results. We are not playing well at the back and injuries to Rooney and Hayes are hurting us up front. Not addressing squad weaknesses in January is really coming home to roost now. Taylor desperately needs dropped but just cannot see the manger doing it. I would go with McGinn through the middle to replace Rooney. Church does not look like a player that will get you regular goals. In Boozer near ground Shed Lift back to Capital - cheers OD. 2-1 Arabs. McLean for Dons.

Church did okay. Scored but could have hardly missed. Worked hard but only really had one other chance which he maybe should have scored but will need to see again to be certain as was at opposite end. Cannot see him replacing Rooney's goals. Just does not look a natural goal scorer.

Had said 10 minutes before the goal that trying to see the game out at 1-0 was going to bite us in the arse especially with Taylor in the team. One Taylor fuck up later and Jack is diving in to give away the penalty. Cannot understand why we do not try to close out games by scoring 2 or 3 rather than sitting in.

I have a meeting in Glasgow that afternoon so company paying for travel through.

McInnes will not drop Taylor. He has had numerous fuck ups in the past and McInnes has stuck with him so cannot see that changing. Would expect Flood and Jack both to be back if fit with Storie and Church dropping out. Will be a bit harsh on Storie if he does drop out as he has done well. Would expect Pawlett to come in for Hayes. St J are on a shite run but still managed to give us a scare at the start of the month even if that was partly our own doing. Can see it being another close game. In Ridiculously early train then pub once they open Y Out in town 2-1 Dons McGinn and McLean.

Arabs look doomed. Will miss the trips there but if they finish bottom then they deserve to be relegated. Would love to see Killie down. Always been a pish away day however it is still to close to call who end up in the play offs position. Sadly looks like the Tribute Act will get promoted this time. Not as convinced as others that Hibs will make it through the play offs. As soon as the expectation builds they will have there usual collapse. Fragility is still there as they have bottled every chance to close the gap when the Tribute Act slip up.

Would assume 5th March would be a shout for the next available date as we are both out of the cup.

Game off.

Friday night football this week for the Dons so a very short week for the players after Monday nights fiasco. Looks like Hayes is out which is a blow as we do not look like creating much when he is not in the team. Would assume either Smith or Pawlett will replace him but neither deserves to following their showings in the last 2 games. Suspect Flood will return to midfield with Church dropping to the bench. Would love McInnes to drop Taylor but that is not going to happen. Need to get back to winning ways as we cannot afford to have another slump like we had in October. Hopefully get an early goal to settle any nerves. In Bar in the West End of the Weeg Away End Train back to the capital 2-0 Rooney and McLean

Actually I blame Tom for his abject failure to check his facts.

Apparently full name for the clown is Ashton Taylor.

As others have said another gutless performance when there is any expectation. Taylor's performance tonight highlighted the madness of letting Quinn go with a replacement being brought in. Church again looked poor. Would rather we had brought Shankland back and gave him a run of games until the end of season. Pawlett and Smith again looked poor and I would think both will be gone in the summer. As for Gollum it defies belief that he is still allowed to referee at the top level.

Penalty all day long but not from Gollum.

Woeful. Church off is to little to late.

Taylor is a clown for making that challenge. Contact or not his foot being that high is dangerous play and a foul.
