I thought we played some okay stuff at times against the Tims with Cosgrove in the team. Especially in the first game. I'd agree, he looked unfit, but I still think he offers more than Edmondson. Again, the key will be keeping Wright and Hedges high up alongside him and not reverting to Hedges out wide. To me, the team picks itself with Hayes and Watkins out, with Kennedy, Ferguson, McRorie and McLennan behind Wright, Cosgrove and Hedges. I'd keep Taylor in because I think Devlin is worse. McRorie had his best game for us against Hibees last time around and I'd say he's not been nearly as good in the last few games, so a goal from him will do the business. Dons 6 - Hibs 2 Cosgrove x 3, McRorie, Hoban, Wright Might put £100 on it, as I'm fairly confident.

Wisconsin democrat. Biden's a shoe in now. Would think Michigan and Nevada will be democrat too. If he can get Pennsylvania and one other too then Trump will make less of a fuss I reckon. I think the Republicans will begin to start ditching him if any three further states go in the next while. They're like the Tories when it comes to moving from pander to ruthless disloyalty, it's impressive.

I've been talking about that for twenty years, it's amazing how many folk either don't know that's what happens or seem to forget about it until the week/month before election day. The republicans have a fine tuned vote purging model that the democrats could only dream of. Trump has basically announced his victory, it will get tasty. They'll get Pennsylvania closed down shortly and call it for the republicans. That should be enough for four more years. Edit: Arizona called for the democrats. Spoke to soon perhaps. How did the republicans let that one slip through the net? That'll be the supreme court on the case. Amy will have to step up.

Hemmin, Jute, far's the squad? Shocking tardiness. Considine's in it. And some other cunts. Including Grant Hanley.

You would take one look at my cheeky grin and your anger would turn to warmth, and it'd end in a bosey. You wouldn't be the first. It was an uncalled for comment. I apologise. I thought you wre being a prick, you probably weren't. Based on the exchange, I'd say that you were more in the right than me.

I thought he had a poor game yesterday. Gave the ball away a couple of times when he'd normally do better. Not great conditions, but no real excuse. Agree with your description of the above, it was like he was caught in two minds, ball watching in the end underneath it. It would have perhaps been difficult to clear with a header though, it did fall at an awkward height - in between head and a comfortable leg height - which perhaps caught him out. As I mentioned in the other thread that the ball should never have got to him in the first place, it was really poor closing down by Hoban, who had plenty of time to get in between man and cross, he should have been ushering Rogic out of the box with ease - he was just too casual. However, a man with 500 games under his belt should see his performance yesterday as below par.

Robert Fisk. Proper journalist and writer.

We're here to discuss fitba you fucking prick.

I wouldn't find it acceptable if that's what happened, but it wasn't. He was hesitant because he was holding the line with the back three, which was probably a couple of yards further back than it should have been. But the blatant error was between McRorie and Kennedy. That type of scenario occurs one hundred times a game, they should know that one stays on the ball, the other goes with the runner. Considine shouldn't have been involved in that move at all, it should have been dealt with. The second is Considine's fault, getting completely caught under it a yard out, but again that ball shouldn't have been anywhere near him. Hoban should never be allowing that ball to be crossed and is probably a better example of someone ambling like a 60 year old. Anyway, we've actually been significantly better than previous encounters against them, we've not exactly sat back. Hedges should be shooting after that great pass from Wright and we've had a lot of possession in good areas. Can't fault McInnes' approach to the game, just they're a good team who'll punish the slightest mistake. I think we've got a goal in us, hopefully it'll come early enough for us to get back in it.

Second maybe, not the first. McRorie and Kennedy got to be sorting that shite between them. That's basic stuff.

Pish. Some goal. Kennedy got to go with the runner there.

It's a big loss. Kennedy will do a job though. Not convinced by the balance of that side though, looks like trying to get everyone in at once. I just think that you need hedges and Wright as close to each other as possible, or you'll nullify them (Wright, mainly). Attacking though, difficult to complain.

The fucking semi was on the BBC today in standard definition. What the fuck is that shite all about? You wouldn't get an English conference game in standard definition these days. They'll have the final on ceefax. Useless cunts.

Aye, but I've been at every one the dons have been in, so fucking premier sports, ken? Fucking BBC. Fuck everyone. But mainly, I've been able to pay for an individual game on sky for many years now. Premier pay monthly bollocks. You can cancel if you phone between 03:00 and 03:10 on a Tuesday if the moon is out and you're prepared to wait on hold for 16 days. Probably.

Fuck knows. The email says "only way to watch it", didn't mention UK. What the fuck is a national semi final doing on fucking subscription telly anyway? It's a fucking joke. They should at least be forcing their hand with a pay per view option.

Just got an email from the club to say that Premier sports is the only way to watch? Fuck is that shite all about?

Aye, sounds about right. Interesting that our best "game management" options come in the form of bringing on a striker. That must take Deek out of his comfort zone. I don't think he'll trust Ojo on performances so far this season, but that was why he came on a couple of games ago - in case we needed that option, so it'll be interesting. It's a shame Campbell isn't fit, I'd have been happy enough taking him on for 20 minutes ago to protect our lead and perhaps grab a late fifth.

I'll look out the old corpse-shovel.

Aye, okay, that makes sense. As I say, I'd be concerned that we don't get the best out of Wright with Hedges out wide, but you could be on the mark with McInnes' line up. A little harsh on McLennan who's come in and done well. I'd go: -----------------Lewis--------------- ----Hoban----MyGranny(dec'd)----Consi--- McLennan---McRorie----Ferguson---Hayes ----Hedges----Cosgrove------Wright----- with Hedges and Wright dropping in to support the midfield off the ball. Switch Watkins for Cosgrove if Sam can't play 90.

Christ, what a fucking shambles. The Yanks making the mistakes that the rest made before them. They must be aiming for this new Europa 2nd tier pish in the coming years, otherwise I can't see what the influx of US cash into the Scottish game is about. Cormack possibly slightly different, but the tie in with Atlanta reeks of some prior (to Covid) bigger picture. I can't believe anyone would pay Edwards £3K per week, he's a slightly above average SPFL player that could be replaced very easily. At least they should know where to target their cuts with all these high paid failures.

And Hedges wide right? Or do you mean play Sam and Watkins separately (i.e. one starts the other comes on for him)? To me, it has to be one or the other, Watkins or Cosgrove. The best I've seen us play so far this season is with Hedges and Wright together high up the park. They combined really well playing close together and had the freedom to make space for others too. I think that piling in a front 2 of Wright, Cosgrove, Watkins, plus Hedges right slightly nullifies the threat, although it would be a hell of a decision to drop Watkins or Cosgrove or Edmondson. To me, I wouldn't bother with Wright from the start unless we're getting Hedges up there too.

I don't believe the £5K per week figure. That'd be twice what they're paying any of their other players I'd have thought. I can't see that happening in this day in age, especially not for a player as proven mediocre as McNulty. Sounds like internet bollocks. That said, getting him in before Shankland going out sounds plausible, and a real fuck up if true. If they can cling on until January, that might save them. However, I don't think they'll get good money for Shankland. I'm really not that convinced he's good enough - or got the right attributes - to play down South. He's that sort of in between striker that would do well up here. Got obvious talent and a great finisher, but not that quick and not that strong. Reminds me of Rooney in many ways. A big hoofer in the championship would just sit on him for 90 minutes and he'd struggle. Like May when he was at St Johnstone, I also think he's at the peak of his game with few obvious areas he can improve. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong, because I think he's done really well to get back to the top of his game and deserves the opportunity.

Can they not just sell one of their big names?

It better fucking not.

McGeouch out for eight weeks. Disappointing for him, he's not done much wrong in the games he's played. Forces McInnes' hand a little with the starting lineup for the weekend. Leaves us a bit short on game management options when we go four up too.
