2 game ban according to SFA website.

Pretty sure the qualifying rounds are regionalised so if we make it we would only be drawn against Northern European sides.

I would have thought getting put out of the cup by lower league opposition for the third year in a row myself but each to their own. I see JC now saying in the Retard today that cup exit means the club has not got the cash to offer Smith and Mair new deals.

The ability to punt the ball into the box does not make an international player.

Did they not use that cash to build their training facility?

Was our all conquering (ok winning one game) run in Europe not JCs first time in europe as well? Who is to say that another manager might not do as well if not better on their first go.

Mizer is in fact right. Travel to and from the match venue and the city centre on public transport is free when you purchase a ticket for a football match in Germany.

Whole thing is badly thought out. Anyway suspect that most who are no longer behind the manager will show their feelings by simply not attending the game.

Was going to point out that they were a bit vague on the funding again. Also with regard to the transport links I would suspect that any possible raillink would needed to be funded by the stadium development as cannot see council or network rail paying for it.

Hope hes not sitting in front of me.

Most teams get a boost when a new manager comes in and results generally improve in the short term however pretty irrelavant as I cannot see our director of football sacking his mate and cannot see Milne finding the cash to sack his director of football and a management team so suspect we are stuck with JC until either his contract runs out or some other club (unlikely now) comes in for him.

If they do not have the bottle to stick away a penalty from 12 yards then how do you have faith in them to have the bottle to stick away a chance in a big game? If a striker does not have the bottle to take a penalty he should not be playing the professional game.

Only true measure is how many of them make the grade at SPL level or above.

So if Kerr is so good at this sideways passing why do we never prodcue the killer pass?

Would this be the same soul searching they were doing after the semi final last year and Queens Park the year before?

If they are not better than what is being picked then it is still a yard stick if a pretty shit one.

Should have said that I am not saying either them is good enough for Scotland just that they are better than what we have.

Sadly mcAllister is a better left back than Mulgrew and clubfoot as pish as he is still better than Foster so I do not see your point.

When has this happened? Apart from Alex Miller most managers have got at least a season beofe the fans have turned. There will be plenty of managers wanting the Aberdeen job because despite what you think we are still a big club and will be seen as a good opportunity.

Pretty sure we did. Was Either Alex "Wanker" Miller or Aitken I think.

So your not coming down this weekend then?

Agreed.

Not just JC to pay off though as would need to pay off JN and Clark as well so will still be a fair amount of money to find but still think it needs to be done.

Not sure but he has not done to much when out on his own. Got Notts County relegated and is struggling at Dundee, which is possibly down to the mess Rae left more than him but still not doing that great. Maybe he is one of these guys who is better as an assistant rather than a manager.

Sorry just assumed that players who's job it is to score goals would be the obvious choice to put the ball in the net from 12 yards but you of course are right that was a stupid assumption.
