He's already in the UK, I've been outside his quarantine hotel for days now on my replica coca cola mountain bike.

Tuesday I think.

I think it was more than that, and we've seen it in every game Sheerin has managed. It's clearly been forced on them and it's clear that they've been told that they have to do it every single time. In other words, their game intelligence is being overridden by management ideology, as it was very clear that they were doing it when they weren't comfortable doing so. It's our new version of game management, which was drilled into our players under McInnes, limiting their freedom to instinctively move forward with the ball. I'm really hoping that Glass ditches it immediately and allows players to think for themselves. It's a very immature form of management, especially when it leads to so many opportunities for the opponent.

A half decent second half performance. A much better shape, Hayes and McGinn and even Kennedy performed much better around Hornby. All their opportunities in the second half came from us trying to play out unnecessarily. Took until the 89th minute for Lewis to go long from a goal kick as he'd clearly been told to go short every single time. McKenzie caught a couple of times. He looked good defensively and going forward but giving him the ball under pressure with no out ball wasn't clever. It's stupid stuff like, it's fine to play it out from the back if you're quick about it, but don't wait until the opposition is settled then pass to a centre half on a hard fast pitch. Poor coaching.

It's not playing out that's the issue, it's doing it every single time when you're already under pressure. Lovely goal, great play by the two wingers. Good start to the half. Hornby already done more than Kamberi.

Yep, terrible stuff so far, look like we'll be our own downfall with the championship manager pish from the back. Saints should just allow the first pass from Lewis and then close down quickly from there. Hopefully Hornby can manage a half. Kamberi and McGinn not working.

4-4-2? McRorie at right back? Not sure how both Hayes and McKenzie fit in otherwise.

Died according to the AFC Twitter account. Didn't know much about him. Saw him at Burnley having a good day out that's about it.

Totally agree. However, it's also important to note that our own chairman has said that it racism, or the defence of racism, is completely justifiable if it's one of your own (if one of our players was to racially abuse someone, it would be acceptable - perhaps expected - for our captain to back them). In other words, partisan club loyalties far outweigh any other form of abuse (racial, homophobic, child) or fraud in Scottish football. It would be great to hear some honesty regarding it as you say. The gaslighting kick racism out or knee taking just needs to stop. It portrays the game in an undeserving light.

I just thank god that we've got Sandy Johnson in charge to guide us (+/- 130,000) through these times.

Any coverage on the impartial BBC should state this. It's pathetic that it doesn't.

I predict a goalfest. Maybe 1-0 them. I agree with RT that we'll go for a 4-3-3. I personally think that a 4-2-3-1 is our best bet. However they play three at the back so we might even match up with that, a 3-5-2 would be fine. Our biggest dilemma is midfield at the moment. As a three, Ferguson, McRorie and Campbell are unproductive (McGeouch wouldn't change that either). Useful for games against the scum, but not when we need to draw defenders out. With Brown coming in next season, it makes the dilemma even worse. I don't think we'll win with all three in the midfield.

He doesn't need to. Could just play Kamberi at number 10 in a 4-2-3-1. Alongside two from Ferguson, McRorie or Campbell he'd be fine. In fact, what we need.

He reminds me of Watkins actually. Quite strong, but not really strong. Quite fast but not really fast. Quite skillful, but not really skillful and can score goals, but not that often. I think he'd have been great with Wright and Hedges alongside him, he'd have done the link up play very well. You can see that his workrate has dropped off as he's become more and more isolated and missing chances as his confidence goes completely. I'd give him another go once Hornby is fit again. He's fortunate our choices are slim.

Get the fifth round up min, Jesus. Terrible service. Clear route to the final for the dons. Couple of easy games against livi and forfar

Fantastic game, can't fault a single player today. Well done dons, great result against a top side.

It's on cooncil telly, available to all who pay their TV tax.

I wouldn't think so. That would show a fair bit of mistrust in Sheerin, Simpson and Robson who are still going to be here for his tenure. I'm guessing that he'll have had a decent input into the way they set up and who he thinks would go where, but you'd like to think the current coaching team would be able to overrule that if they think a certain player has been a dick in training all week or whatever.

It does seem to be lacking the director to pull it all together (maybe Atlanta provide that directorship), but good to see us appointing these "best in class" coaches like. A good team around Glass will make a world of difference. I think we need to move on recruiting too. Whilst it's all very good getting guys like Griffiths (for example) cause they're Brown's mates, it will quickly run out of legroom, so something long term before the summer in the scouting department would be great.

Good stuff. I think that we were all concerned about Glass coming in after McInnes, but this guy is a lot tidier than McInnes. I wouldn't say he's hot, but it's a definite improvement. Good stuff, things are looking positive.

This thread should be changed to top four countdown. Only eight more required to move ahead of mckimmie. All things going well, he should get that this season.

I wouldn't bother. The moisture needs somewhere to go. Just get tanalised timber and be done with it. If you don't do it the way Tom suggests, it's best not to bother with it. Wood will happily get wet and dry out again if the moisture runs into the slab (or slabs?). A DPM could result in the water getting trapped. Screwing the timber to the slab a good shout. I'd recommend concrete screws, they're fucking ace.

Yep, it's clearly bollocks. McInnes, who's scouting targets consist of players who've once had a good game against one of his teams, scouted a random Venezuelan fullback, who's valued at twice the amount we've paid for any player this century. It's all very good being "transparent", but when you've got Rob McLean asking pre-filtered questions with absolutely no follow up, it's a complete waste. If it was transparent then you'd have a fan (maybe one of the dons podcast folk) or independent interviewer asking the questions. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't have to do anything, but we're not likely to get answers to anything meaningful.

He didn't want to touch hun-money so threw their suitcase of laundered king fraud cash in the sea.

Missed that part unfortunately. That's the sort of thing you'd hear a Hun trot out. Nobody is questioning whether Brown was right or wrong, because we know that he was wrong, that's not open for debate. We're asking for an apology. If they're convinced of his character then they're convinced he's correct about Logan lying. Because anyone with any character, and so called leader, would have the decency to publicly apologise whilst they hoover up the adulation for hugging a hun. Why isn't he sure? He should be absolutely fucking certain. Did he even ask? Why not just say that he's a good player and we're willing to overlook any dubious history because of that?
