I remember there was a bit of hype when he first came on the scene in Norway, it'll be interesting to see who Farji has come.

It's very clearly Miovski politely saying that he won't be coming to Aberdeen anytime soon. He worked very hard between his first and second season at the Dons and came back twice the player. I hope he does the same for Girona. I'd like to see him being the best player he can be, and I don't think he does that here.

Maybe give Hirst five minutes...

I didn't watch the first half, but Hirst is basically Chris Martin to date. Good that he should be given an opportunity with Adams, which would likely be the best possible setup to accomodate him, to finally prove that he's pish. The biggest problem with Hirst is that he doesn't do the big lad bit well enough (like Chris Martin). Dykes (and Simon Murray, I should add) do it well because he is aggressive and plays on the edge, which is what we need. Hirst is too passive for international fitba, even if he is playing well at club level. Arguably so is Adams, but he brings pace and workrate. Hirst is just average across the board, is English, and plays in England. Bowie looks a decent prospect. Would be interesting to see what he can add. Inconsistency at club level is fine at his age.

A much better balance to it than on Friday I'd suggest. A back four for a start. The front two is what we should be going with at home against teams like Iceland. Miller and Gilmour sitting, with two from McGinn, Ferguson and McTominay the right choice.

He doesn't sound very good at football.

Yep, guys like Simon Murray. In fact, we should have fielded an SPFL Scottish select team. Would give players in the SPFL a chance they might never get otherwise, and showcase some of the leagues players. Reckon they could have gone out and got a draw, unlike the useless cunts who turned up. Doohan Devlin Souttar Findlay Taylor/Penrice Shinnie Barron Cameron Keskinen Murray Shankland

Legend for Aberdeen, best keeper in the league, completely overlooked for the national side. As soon as he joins the Tims, Clarke calls him up straight away. Disgusting.

This would be one of the best made up stories I've read. Good work.

Mate in the know suggested it might be New Zealand international, Nevin Kisbet.

Ah, that makes sense. Maybe we should consider coaxing Winters out of retirement for the Liechtenstein game.

Aye, that'd be correct. Slicker is the obvious choice, because he came through the u21s, and nobody expected him to have to play. McRorie had a dogshite season for Killie and McCracken is also guff. I'd probably take Kelly in, because he's fairly comfortable with his feet, but he's another guy who chose money and being a sub over first team football (not necessarily a criticism, just maybe not something we should be rewarding). I'm not going to blame Clarke for the goalie situation though, there has to be other people at the SFA looking at these things. Slicker isn't ready, but he should have been able to be thrown in against a pish team and told to go and do his best without pressure. He's 22, not 17. Gordon had probably played fifty games by that age. Whilst he's never looked particularly good for the u21s, Ipswich obviously felt he was good enough to be given a four year deal, so an international friendly shouldn't have been beyond him. Hopefully it hasn't damaged him too much, but I suspect that he might have just dispensed with his entire career.

That was impressive in the scale of its shiteness. I have absolutely no idea why we're playing friendlies after the season has ended, but, regardless, it was one of the most clueless performances I've seen. It all falls on Clarke unfortunately. He picked guys like Hanley, and also chose a back three (Tierney looked dogshite too, Souttar was fine, probably MOTM). Johnson wasn't great, McGinn pish, Hirst isn't required (although wasn't terrible), Ferguson poor. Lennon Miller looked decent when he came on!

Aye, competition winner. Ambrose in goals.

Because he's a dirty Tim fuck.

He's a young lad, in a difficult fixture, it'll be interesting to see what he can do.

Hilarious. Trump really is thick as shite. Everyone in the galaxy could see that coming before they even met. What an embarrassment of a nation (as most nations are). Two of life's absolute losers involved in a playground slagging match. Who'd have thought that volume of money (handily accrued from daddy) wasn't a good barometer for wisdom? Or a metric of anything really, other than the game of money. What a pair of charlatan cunts.

Seems like a half decent manager. What's the deal, not minded enough? The weird thing is they'd likely have been excited if it had been the son of a good manager, or Gerrard who's objectively worse than Martin. Hopefully be gone by November with a massive payout.

It might not be true, but it was good of you to ShayRe id.

That's like praising someone for having a better human rights record than Hitler. Have to say, though, that Hale and Murray up front for Dundee would likely see them top six. Sometimes you can even employ Steven Pressley and have everything just fall into place on the transfer front. I think he'd come to us over them, even as backup, but it depends what he wants for himself. I think England would be a bad move, don't think he's suited to the game down there.

No way he's turning down the opportunity to work with Elvis. We move on. In all seriousness though, I'm not sure about him. He's a good goalscorer, but he never looked particularly great on the other aspects. Given that he'd be out second choice, that finishing aspect could go out the window without match sharpness. I think Sokler would score a similar number of goals as first choice in a team like County. If he was Scottish, then it'd be a no-brainer, for European numbers.

I don't speak Arabic, but does that say "fuck the Tims" in the inscription?

I hope we finish ahead of Steven Pressley's crack Dundee outfit.

Him and Carroll were the two I think. Carroll to Forest was the one that fell through.

Great minds etc. That was almost my exact reaction. Must have been Strachan?
