Aye, been terrible. Duk defending is like having a man down. MacDonald for the goal was weird, he just seemed to run away from the flight of the ball.

Ambrose has started for us before. He was gash.

Molloy dropped for MacDonald, and Ambrose starts. Fairly wild. Mitov back will help undoubtedly. MacDonald on his wrong foot isn't great, so hopefully they'll shift Rubi right and tell him just to use his head only. It'll be interesting to see what the next phase in the Ambrose experiment looks like. He really doesn't look like someone who has played football before.

Just go by dates at Christmas time, it's easier than days.

What's happening on Tuesday?

They'll not stop him getting his dream move.

Have you got shares in McGarry?

He's not very good. Better than McGarry, not as good as Mackenzie. Not as good as Molloy. A very average defender who'd be a good squad backup to have. However, if he's not interested in being a backup then he's best off elsewhere. He's nowhere near good enough to be starting every week, and doesn't really have any attributes that stand out. You can tell Rubi to be aggressive and attack the ball, Molloy to focus on sweeping up and using his good distribution. Jensen is okay with the ball, but slow to use it, is okay in the air and not particularly quick. He's like a poorer version of Molloy but at an age where he should be at his peak defensively. Morris and Gueye both had very obvious attributes that a manager could work with, I don't see any in Jensen. Like McGarry, he's just that bit below the required level, which is fine for backup with a view to shifting on when we try out the next guy.

Clarkson's still a young lad, in a very difficult role, we can give him time. McGrath also had several years where he wasn't up to it during his career. You're expected to make things happen, but also take the abuse when you try something that doesn't work. I find that the Dons fans around me are very impatient with Clarkson, but he's the one trying to do the inch perfect through ball that will get us the goal, so he's going to have more misplaced passes than likes of Shinnie or Neilsen, and McGrath when he's out wide. He was very good in the first half on Saturday, but the error seemed to knock him well off his stride. He was also good against St Johnstone. McGrath has just drifted in and out of games of late, and I see no reason that we shouldn't give them a half each for the next couple of games.

Said no one, ever.

Well that was fucking cold and shite. Went a bit calderwood with the subs at the end. Ambrose was better than Sokler, and I assume we won't see Nisbet at Pittodrie again. Hibs took their chances well. Rubi pish for the first, their second was a good bit of play and then another fuck up for the third (was it Clarkson that gave it away?). Keskinen probably best player for us. Need Mitov back asap.

He scored for QP, minutes after coming on, to clarify. Playing left back and got forward quite well. Probably better than McGarry. Probably still not good enough of course.

Ryan Duncan. Get him signed

I'd be very wary of getting a loanee right back in of the potential calibre of Ramsay. He'll be looking for first team minutes, which if given would relegate Devlin. I think if you're going to do that with a guy who's performed so well all season, then it needs to be for an actual signing, and not some temporary measure who leaves after six months. Fit's Dom Ball up to?

Foreigner. I've been saying for years that foreigners are the way to go. Welcome aboard foreigner.

You should start up the Auckland soccer causals and start kicking fuck out of people in the name of passion.

That'll be the last we see of Duk then.

Maybe they should release a statement calling him a Judas Hun cunt?

Yes it is.

Worth a look?

It'll need demolished soon anyway, it was built by Stewart Milne. Just move the road back a bit. It's fine, we're the Dons, anything goes.

I was referring to the flats behind the merkland not getting any sunlight.

That's ace. Get it done. Maybe slide the whole thing towards the sea by 10 metres to help the lads on merkland road with their vitamin D.

Does it? I can't work it out, but having a team that everyone could potentially beat is only useful if we're the ones beating the good team and getting the unexpected points. I think we have a good chance of beating Denmark, but so do Greece, and Belarus would fancy their chances of a point too. With Portugal, I reckon we'd have the best chance of taking something at home. The way the fixtures fall will be key. Get some easy ones at Hampden first up, then an away trip to the top seed. Finish up with the top seed at home, who may have already qualified two days before in a hard fought victory away to Greece in forty degree temperatures.

You're reading it right. Not an easy group. Both Belarus and Greece are not shite. Good chance that any of the teams could take points off any of the others on their day. I'm assuming Belarus will be away from home in all their fixtures, which might make them shiter.
