  1. They don't have a goalscorer. Big difference with them and Killie is that Boyd is always liable to get a goal. Just don't see where that would come from with Hibs. And the problem for them going into a playoff is that they are on a wretched run which shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Going into those matches you want to be on a winning run. Look at Aberdeen in 95, had those playoffs been 6 weeks earlier I certainly wouldn't have bet on us getting through them. Confidence is pretty much everything in these scenarios.
  2. Their defence has caught up with them in the last couple of weeks. Skrtel has to realise that the ball is the important thing in football, not wrestling with the opposition. .He also needs more vowels in his name. They've chucked away a league title, basically. That is a fucking horrendous feeling, so...nae luck.
  3. Our IT Manager has an unfortunate name.
  4. Hi folks, Glasgow Red Stars are running a bus to the Motherwell match at Pittodrie on 11.05.14. This will be leaving from outside the Rock on Hyndland Rd at 8.30am. We have seats available. If you are interested please email clubfutbolaberdeen@gmail.com.
  5. Huns on Hun Media want to name a stand at Ibrox after Sandy Jardine... Would they not have to own the stadium to do that?
  6. If you pay for something with a CC and the company goes tits up, the CC company will refund you. In this case, the CC company obviously think there is a very good chance the huns could go tits up and rightly want security on this. The huns can't give them any, so they withdraw their services. Also means that huns paying for STs in cash, cheque, bank transfer etc will lose all their money. Conversely, the brass at Ibrox will have pocketed it before putting the company into Admin.
  7. http://www.investegate.co.uk/rangers-int-f-c--plc--rfc-/rns/business-review-and-strategic-plan-update/201404251100045425F/ Review is out and is hilarious. Can't accept debit or credit card payments for the sale of STs. Will be top two of the SPFL in their first season back, apparently...
  8. You're right, it really is not fair.
  9. If it's just an observation, like, why are you crying about it? And while I'm sure you're not the only person in the world to mention it, Larsson plays for a team who are not as high profile. Larsson himself is not as high profile because of who he is and who he plays for. Exact same way that there is more made of it if it's Pawlett diving than some guy who plays for Dumbarton.
  10. I'm not just talking about last season. The set up I said which is how the club is structured - getting rid of the whole coaching staff for his own was a huge, and obvious, error. However, taking your point there, United didn't purely win the league last season because of Fergie. They won it because they have good players, like it or not. To listen to some folk you'd think it was an exceptionally poor squad he had... Fergie is the best manager ever in my opinion, but he's not a miracle worker. And you're using Scholes as an example of coasting? He hardly played, his legs had gone, but I think you're well wide of the mark to accuse him of coasting when he played. Do we really think Fergie would allow his players to coast?
  11. So it was the internet that got Moyes the sack and not the fact his tenure had cost United £200m? Or that the players were clearly not responding to his methods? Or that he has overseen the worst defence of a league title possibly ever? Anyone who compares Fergie starting at United and Moyes starting at United is deluded. United were an utter shambles of a club when Fergie tookover and he gutted them from top to bottom, so he was afforded the time. Moyes walked in to a very successful set up and ripped it up believing his way was better. I think that lies at the feet of Moyes and not the internet. All squads are ageing, but the squad Moyes got had lost Scholes and gained Januzaj and Zaha; one of whom has been used sparingly despite being the most exciting prospect at OT in years and the other wasn't even given a chance. Are you seriously suggesting that taking the team who had last season won the league by 11 points to 7th place and out of all the cups (out of domestic cups at home, too) by early April isn't worthy of the tin tack? Tthere has been utterly no sign of improvement. His flip flopping in the media - team wins, "they're a great bunch of players"; team loses "I don't think they're good enough" - and his questionning of individual players - "They tell me he (Kagawa) is a great player; I've yet to see it." (that's Kagawa the former Bundesliga player of the year by the way, if he needs others to tell him he's a great player he's perhaps in the wrong business) has been embarrassing and possibly damaging in his relationship with the squad, something which lies squarely at his feet too. Signing Fellaini... if ever there was a player not suited to a club it's him with United. Desperate signing which suggested Moyes didn't appreciate where he was and simply resorted to what he knows best; decent, hard grafting players with no frills, more concerned with breaking play up and making things generally uncomfortable for opponents rather than going for players who can actually play football (in fairness, Mata falls into that latter category). I feel sorry for Moyes because he was clearly the wrong guy for that job, but I don't feel sorry for him being sacked, it's just a shame how was handled.
  12. Pretty irrelevant stat though, isn't it? How many of those managers had just taken over a team which had strolled to the league title the previous season?
  13. Carrick was voted United's player's player of the year last season, and deservedly so, but as I've said before, Moyes tactics have him playing 10 yards further up the park where he just won't be effective. Play Carrick sitting right in front of the defence and he'll control the vast majority of matches for United, particularly at home. He hasn't been in that position this season and United have really struggled, particularly at home. There are good players there who are not performing for him (there are some average ones not performing for him too) but they've not looked comfortable as a unit all season and that goes to the manager. I like Davie Moyes, generally, but never thought he was up to the United job and I feel a bit sorry for him. I hope they put him out his misery and let him get on with his career at a club where he's a more comfortable fit. Some of the players have done the dirty on him - Rio Ferdinand leaking every line up to the Mirror is an example of this; it wouldn't have happened under Fergie and Rio should be out the door right after Moyes.
  14. And we'd have humped United on Saturday. We were too ponderous around their box in the second half and we suffered in not having any natural width on the park. Langfield was poor in the run up to the first goal, stuck to his line again when he should be coming and collecting. Considine looks as though he's running in treacle and if folk think Anderson's lack of pace is a problem I'm not sure how Considine is the answer to that. Consi has been consistently poor since his return from injury - granted he's not a full back but it can't be good for his confidence or the confidence of the defence in general. In the end we were our own worst enemy yesterday; we had our chances and failed to take them. Think I'd try to freshen up the line up for Friday, we're a wee bit too predictable at the minute.
  15. http://www.scribd.com/doc/217413725/The-Rangers-Football-Ltd-Accounts-2013 Huns accounts. Staff costs a mere 99% of turnover.
  16. He was good for Liverpool and Leeds. He was borderline hoop for Scotland.
  17. Been kicking off in Edinburgh all day apparently. Biggest police presence in the city all season. Says it all for those scumbags. They'll die soon enough though. Tick tock.
  18. And to think some folk used to hold them up as some bastion of morality. Utter nonsense then and even moreso now.
  19. Picks the best XI from the players he played with. I've not watched it yet, but I've read that his line up was: Leighton Kennedy Gough Miller Nicol Strachan McAllister Souness Robertson Dalglish Johnston What do you think of that? Personally I wouldn't have Nicol or McAllister anywhere near that side. Probably a close call between John Robertson and Peter Weir, but both great players. I would have taken McKimmie at left back ahead of Nicol at left back (and right back for that matter) and Davie Robertson and John McMaster too, and would have taken Bett, McStay or Collins ahead of McAllister (if it had to be that type of player). Maybe McDougall, McGhee, Black, Nicholas or Gillhaus ahead of Johnston? He was a good player in all fairness to him despite his "failings". What would you go for?
  20. Said it before he signed, Fellaini just isn't a good fit for United. He was utterly brutal last night. Considering Fletcher is sitting on the bench it was criminal he got a starting place last night. He was badly at fault for the goal too. But, on the whole his game plan worked. Possession stats etc are utterly irrelevant, Bayern were always going to have more of the ball, but they really didn't open up the defence at all. Vidic was superb; rumour is he actually wanted to stay at United originally but wouldn't sit down with Moyes to even contemplate a new contract. Supposedly the players refer to Moyes as "Fuck off Moyes" as that is generally their initial thought when they hear his instructions.
  21. Who was the stuttering moron who started to ask a question about Peter Pawlett but then took so long to ask it had decided it was about Adam Rooney by the end of it? Whoever it was...stick to print journalism. Unless you type in a similar fashion. In which case, just forget the whole thing.
  22. Not really mate. It was a hard earned point because we were our own worst enemy. Ross Co are not a good team. Anderson at the back and one of PP or JH in the side and that game was way out their reach. Our shite defending and shite forward play made them look good. Considine for the umpteenth time since his return was awful. McGinn was garbage and McInnes's subs were brutal. Low should have been on at half time for McGinn with Smith moving closer to Rooney. We have no penetration without PP and JH and we have to mix it up a bit, we were crying out for the young lads tonight, not Vernon and Zola. Not a disaster but that should have been another 3 points.
  23. Tesselaar (sp) should have been off. Awful challenge on Smith which was a straight red. High, straight legged. Went for him right after that one too. Two for two for him. Shite footballer.
