  1. Well remembered. Under Brown it was. A few trialists in a victory I believe, which is hard to believe against a quality side such as brechin. Wonder what happened to them?
  2. Yep, that's 100% failure rate right there. Is that all the south Americans we've had?
  3. Not much movement on the signing front, would be nice to get a couple in and Ferguson out early if he's going in this window. Not been massively whelmed by the suggestions so far, they show that we're clearly hunting in the same woods as McInnes, which is to be expected. Guys like Irvine fae Hibs wouldn't really be of the standard required to take us forward. A shrewd January signing by Hibs because he's reliable and you know what you're getting, but I don't really think we should be in the market for another squad midfielder, especially if Ferguson goes. Glass mentioning a South American link which should be fine. Our very successful foray into that market so far with a world class right back just waiting to show everyone what he can do bodes well.
  4. Not to mention dons' legend O'Donnell.
  5. Gone! Only the one plastic pitch remains.
  6. Mickey's Mellon leaving the Arabs. If only there was an out of work manager recently succesful in the North East of Scotland.
  7. DoF at Falkirk, with Robson as manager? What are the odds?
  8. Kelty diets join the leagues with brechin completing a spectacular series of relegations. A player sent off during the game for homophobic abuse. That seems like something that would have happened quite a lot.
  9. Good move it seems as they avoid relegation on the final day.
  10. Some effort from St Johnstone today, kudos to Davidson. They were excellent, and happily kept Hibs out all day. Should have been more comfortable than it was in the end.
  11. Exactly. What sort of shite journalist doesn't ask these basic fucking questions? What sort of shite agent advises his client to rely on gentlemen's over written agreement? He's basically advertising that he's crap at his job. Edit: basically what baggy89 says, didn't spot it earlier
  12. Aye, hopefully this is the start of something a bit more productive in the transfer market. In terms of brexit, it just means that u18s can't be transferred and a maximum of three u21s. Also the usual transfer obstruction applicable to further afield foreigners. Not sure how any of it applies to Ferguson, but certainly it should help future transfers go for more.
  13. I would. Captained the u21s, regularly featured ahead of Paterson at right back too and played at least a season's worth of SPFL games more. In fact, a couple of years ago when McRorie was coming through at the scum there was already a clamour for him to be included in the Scotland squad. I don't think either player deserves a call up.
  14. Correct, but his old man knows the score. He's a Hun, of course, but not a Hun Hun. He was delighted when his loon was motm and scored the winning goal at Hampden to take the dons to the cup final ahead of the scum, as was Lewis himself and McInnes despite the fact that they're rabid Huns it seems. The comparison with Jack is a good one. A very good player, and exceptionally mature, at a young age. Didn't seem to have the belief in his own ability to progress out-with Scotland despite being clearly good enough, wanting to be the big fish in the smaller pond as is his right (and he's still a very good player). I think Ferguson is a little bit more like McKenna in that regard and his old man* will certainly instill that in him too. I think he has the potential to be an absolutely fantastic player, there's so much visible space for improvement there. *Having heard his uncle speak a few times over the last few years, I've actually been impressed with his attitude and grounding (very self deprecating, which was a surprise) and I get the impression he'd advise his nephew to be the best he can be too, and that doesn't require a move to the Hun at this stage in his career.
  15. Not on my watch he doesn't. He's been consistently good again this season, solid and reliable and one of the few players showing any drive. But we're more than covered in his position and he only got drafted in when injuries occurred anyway, so it's no disgrace that he's not there (unlike Palmer). Once I kneecap several of the other defenders in the squad, the dons dream team defence will be reinstated for the England game with Andy scoring the 90th minute header.
  16. Aye, Winslet a cracking actress like. Really good. Although I thought Monday's was the last episode and was a little disappointed, but it turns out there's two more. Enjoying it.
  17. I'm guessing both sides are playing it a bit here. The dons will want his desire to leave public as early as possible and the player wants to leave as early as possible. I've no problem with it, much better than handing in a request the night before a European game.
  18. They're in because of injuries, so it seems fair enough. The Paterson one reeks a little given Palmer hasn't let anyone down. He's not even been great for the u21s in the games I've seen, so I don't think he's deserved it at all. Tokenism indeed. Thought Clarke was above that.
  19. Yet when I asked you the question earlier you didn't answer. I entirely agree with you.
  20. Meh. McKenna did exactly the same but still continued to play well for us. He'll be doing what his agent tells him is best to do. He's got a long time left on his deal so we hold the cards and can hold out for a good offer. Run his course here so a good offer will hopefully be forthcoming.
  21. You can't even state your position, so it's blatantly clear that your attitude is more of a problem. I've stated mine on numerous occasions (in summary, it's point b) above). You're not saying anything remotely controversial or new here. Football stopped being a competitive sport in this country at least two decades ago. I'm asking you what you'd do to tackle it. Not just repeat the same thing back to me.
  22. Considine dropped. Tournament over. Dicks.
  23. Voter ID/suppression underway in the UK. In an ideal world this would be enough for the people to see through the government and for it to take them down. Plays to their base unfortunately.
