Ouch. Gilmour is an actual footballer, unlike the boy who can run fast. I saw Burke's Scotland debut and he was absolutely honking. Clearly just an athlete. As a young lad, I expect Gilmour to be inconsistent, but he's not suddenly going to forget how to play fitba really well. Burke just needed a little tail off in his physical performance to turn him into a worthless footballer. If Gilmour can get a foot in at any club, he'll turn out pretty special. He's very talented.

I'd have Wright the rat in ahead of brown, who's clearly gash. We don't have anyone that can glide past a player in that area behind the strikers. Surprised he's not getting a look in given his involvement with the scum in Europe.

You're correct. It's the police - who are definitely not all Huns - who decided that the game should be moved. They all need to be in Edinburgh because of a delivery.

I think they'll maybe even struggle with a minute's silence. Nor should there be one anyway. The nation has its opportunity on Sunday night for those that wish to. Football doesn't need to be the vehicle for this. It's disrespectful to enforce grief in such a way (as it was to cancel games).

That's because they're being allowed to. They don't have to walk the tight rope of the tabloid press, waiting to slaughter anyone not grieving enough. A mischievous part of me hopes they play the English national anthem before the Hibs v Dons game at the weekend.

We're back on for the Hibs game. I really hope we respect the 8 minute's silence (one for each decade of her reign, rounded up).

England restarting with some games this week in the lower leagues. Sub-human scum. Completely disrespectful. How can anyone think about kicking a football at a time like this?

Can't say anything these days without some moderator banning you. Shocking.

Completely inappropriate at a time of national mourning I'd say.

Kids fitba postponed in Aberdeen (not sure if it's all teams), so you might not be able to do the last item on your list. Weirdly, nobody will be able to solve the grief conundrum that will likely say that gymnastics is acceptable, but football not. This isn't normal. Strangely, the people that questioned lockdown most vociferously will probably be the ones in favour of this particular lockdown. Blue versus red once again, as the adults depart the scene.

That's engurland cancelled. Have we ever not followed suit?

Simple enough to get round though. Just state that there will be no abandoning of fixtures, but if any individual club wishes to postpone their fixture they are free to do so. I actually have little problem with the Huns being performative Huns, but they shouldn't have their ways forced onto the rest of the league. Let them be shown up for the peak virtue signallers (the hypocrisy being huge as they'd be the first people to talk about cancel culture and so on) that they are in what is the zenith moment for virtue signalling. It would perfectly highlight the childish charade for what it is.

No thanks. It's not every 70 years though, is it (quite literally, you're incorrect). The monarchy as a symbol doesn't die with the Queen. This isn't about the minor inconvenience of missing a football game. I'd have thought that someone so willing to engage in what would be called conspiracy in other social issues would have a little bit more freedom of thought on this one.

I mean, you don't make the best arguments at times.

Do you think she'll come back and reclaim her titles?

Aye, prince Andrew is a regular poster on here and he'll be sweating with rage when he reads that post. Your argument is equally as ignorant and distasteful as the one it criticises. I'm not coerced into grief for anyone else's elderly relative, yet a heavily funded attempt is being made for me to mourn this particular one. It's sinister, crude and belongs in Iran or North Korea. We wouldn't miss a week's football - and nor should we - if Ferguson or God died, and we're right to focus on the unsuitability of that mourning period. It's disgusting.

Anyone, like me, who was attending the Dons game, is being subjected (because we are subjects) to mourning. It's being decided for us, and we have no say. He's correct to be outraged, it's a fucking disgrace, whether we have other stuff we can do or not. That you use your demonstrated vastly superior intelligence and wit to defend against, rather than augment, the criticism is rather wasteful, and a little pathetic.

You think that they are in some way responsible? That Ajax performance can't have been easy for her.

Aye, weirdos. Have to admit, when you said that people would die with the increase in heating costs, I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Boom!

3-0 to us?

Well, aye. The word fantastic doesn't have any fixed boundaries. I'd put gillhaus in the phenomenal category. I only ever categorise Dons players too, so comparisons to Zidane or whoever is not relevant. I'd put Wright in the same category as Fraser if that helps (although Wright leaves him for dead in the Judas category). I'd have described Jack as fantastic too, once.

I would have. I've always thought he was a fantastic player who could have got a proper move. Unfortunately McInnes decided otherwise and we lost him to the scum. He adds something - on his day - that other players don't, and I'm really surprised he's not been in a Scotland squad. Obviously, he's an utter rat fuck.

As wasw said further up though, good is comparative, so yes it is relevant if he's better than Stewart. We finished second with Taylor (on 76 points) and he was regularly good enough to get us into Europe and part of some good wins once there. He had enough good attributes to allow us to work round his limitations. Seabass mentioned Cammy Smith in another thread, he was what I would describe as a good footballer. Good touch, good passer and technically good at fitba. The opposite of Taylor, in that his physical attributes meant he'd never make it at a good enough level. Taylor's physical attributes more than made up for his technical deficiencies. That occurs to a greater or lesser degree across the game at all levels. Grant Hanley made it in "the greatest league in the world"™. It's possible for Taylor to both be shite and good (I believe I said a good signing) at the same time.
