Superstar Tradesman

Watched the first two episodes of Generation Kill. Right up my street. Some real good characters in there already. Love the one liners.

We've all been through it often enough to know that's how it works. I'm just puzzled at what happened to the confidence where we seemed to be acting the part? It's usually injuries, suspensions around this time of year or something else that you can point the finger at that has that sort of effect but we've had none of the above. We just seem to have had an invisible rug pulled from under us and I can't figure out what that was.

Since we're not long passed Hick's anniversary...........

Haha, aye, that one. It's a remix-mash-up.

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Candy

I'd seriously like to know what happened to the confidence we had going into the Xmas Hearts game and the back to back games against the Weegie twins. Up until that point I was certain we were going to cruise past Hearts and Utd to take Europe. But after being beaten by one and drawing with the other at home, the lack of self belief from the players seems to have filtered down to me. I just can't see it now. What happened?

You really are a pedantic cunt!

Who lit the fuse to your tampon sweetcheeks? Forgive me if I take the opinion of someone who has played alongside all the aforementioned and made a career out of it rather than someone sitting in the stand with their knickers in a twist.

You know the saying about opinions and arseholes.... Jess gave his opinion having actually played with these guys and to say he's lost the plot is just plain silly. Or it is if you remove the red tinted specs long enough. You say Johnston, I say McCoist and the next neep will say Zero. Opinions - arseholes.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that McCoist was probably the best striker that Scotland produced over Jess' career and if Dublin is good enough for Fergie's Man U then he's good enough for a Dream Team. You've got to remember that he's not picking players on stats alone. He's choosing players he's enjoyed playing alongside. I play fives with a lad who kicks lumps out of me each week then there's another who's skillful as fuck but never passes the ball. I like playing against the former because I know it's going to spicey with a bit of rough and tumble to the game.

I still can't get my head around the fact it's been 8 years!

She's been served.

Pretty much my thoughts on the subject. Someone else touched on it earlier on in the week by saying something along the lines of - We'll continue to train on the same shite piece of ground that they've been training on since the 70s, whilst other teams train on their custom built training grounds. We'll do this because our training ground will be built alongside the new stadium and that will never happen. I wonder how many new Stuart Milne Homes will go up in that time?

Up those 'apples 'n pears' to the pearly gates. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090226/tuk-actress-wendy-richard-dies-aged65-6323e80.html Will they bury her in a soap box?

Neds couldn't afford the airfare. Roskilde = Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and German fanny.

Think I'll probably go to Roskilde this year. http://www.roskilde-festival.dk/uk/ Haven't been for a few years.

I'm sure the only think keeping my four alive is the fact I've picked them for this. The minute I transfer them they're gonna drop like flies.

Well I wasn't at the game either so I guess some won't be 'interested in my opinion' either but here it goes anyway: "Our other strikers lee miller and chris mcguire did however contribute to the match" by scoring fuck all goals so they're ranking side-by-side with Mackie in my thoughts this afternoon.

Ah. I thought the reason they'd had to ditch was due to them flying 18 fully grown men out to a rig in a cartoon cut-out helicopter.

........and there they go. We're not talking about JC putting him on the park in the wrong positions. We're talking about you making a post that wants him in at either striker, on the wing or at full back and not worrying where, having spent years moaning about JC doing just that. Come on, you're amongst a more relaxed bunch, admit it, you're seeing the error of your knee-jerk ways and warming to JC's total fitba ethic.

I appears that you did.

Was Jager with you?

In the early 80s, Doug Rougvie had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before he went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when he got home, his Dad and mother would kill him and dance about on his grave singing Hallelujah before he went to training at Pittodrie. And you try and tell the young people of today that..... they won't believe you.

So you want to play the young lad in the wrong position? Hmmm.

That's all good but contracts are signed when you're trying to entice players to come join the good ship AFC. Then those contracts are brushed up each time if he's doing well. You'll never catch anyone daft enough to sign a contract which doesn't look after the player if he gets crocked. Accidents and injuries happen, it's part and parcel of the game. Therefore you'll miss out on what otherwise could be a good signing if they stay injury free.
