Rooooooooooooney

Anywhere at all to watch it? Nae on red tv like. It's like being in 1999 with the lack of coverage. Why are we playing on a Sunday anyway?

Tickets announced... http://www.afc.co.uk/news/9558.php#.WQx4pnwkumw

Aye, sorry, I didnae mean the fans. I meant just weird that he got it. It doesn't sit right. I'd rather have had Maddison if we were choosing one non-dons player. Anyway, it was a bit like the year Low got it despite being older than Jack. The winners in Deek's time here, and the appearance minutes, are a huge indictment of our youth system and his approach.

Aye, had to be Considine like. Been fantastic. Agreed about our youths like. Can't believe we voted a Tim. Just weird.

Gads, can't believe I opened that. Read the last line. Is that what makes it into the papers these days? Fucking hell.

Aye, I think we need a new striker, and was disappointed we didn't pick one up in January. I just don't think Stockley is very good.

Ye widnae ken like. Just works.

At no point did I say any of that. I'll gie ye the benefit of the doubt though, perhaps your read Nips' post and not mine.

Think it is like. Very fatty. Bung it in some milk and spices overnight/24 hrs then onto a BBQ following day.

But I have a friend who's a Hamilton Accie, so I can't be racist.

Aye, you could be right. I suppose clubs in this country get fined if one idiot lets off a flare or invades a pitch, so it's maybe fair enough.

What are you on about? At no point did I say it wasn't a pass back and that the wall was not a catastrophe or blame the ref for the defeat. If you're going to make a high-and-mighty comment, at least bother to read the post your responding to.

Yep, she's fucked up. But it could so easily have been nipped in the bud. She could have just said, "hold on a second, my mind's gone blank, let me have a little think", paused, took a drink or whatever and gathered her thoughts. The point that is ignored is that the policy is quite sound (if you want more police, which I don't), the numbers were correct in the policy and the costing met. That is the only thing that matters. Not whether or not some random wifie has remembered her lines correctly. It's not fucking dragon's den. Personality politics once again. The problem they have is that there wasn't a clamour from other labour politicians to defend her. Which says more about the party than it does her. The Tories would have dealt with it quickly and aggressively. Although it wouldn't have made the news if that incompetent fuckwit May had said it. They have no option to ditch her though.

I think it's because it was 10 it was un-punishable per their rules. Seems reasonable actually. I wouldn't want the dons receiving fines because 10 dickheads shouted some racist abuse. On the other hand, police should be able to deal with that (but they probably joined in). Understand why the yellows weren't rescinded like, the old "two wrongs don't make a right" call that you get from the type of appeal cunts you see in most countries. Logan dealt with racism the right way as an example. He didn't walk off, he just reported it immediately. The paedo Tims abused him for it.

You ignored my point. You're pretty good at that.

I agree. However when you saw his atrocious booking of Hayes (it was so fucking bad that I actually asked the guy next to me if the ref was Collum), sometimes it's kinder to the ref to call him a cheat rather than absolute incompetent fuck that clearly wasn't fit to referee a fitba game.

I don't think you can look past any tims for the award if honest. I'd probably have put Considine ahead of him and Lewis on the dons player of the year award. Maybe even McLean. Probably more to do with high expectations, and his recent form hasn't been great perhaps.

You'll be happy then, as we beat them 2-1 in February 2016.

This was the most appropriately titled thread I could find for this. Anyway, Guardian article about the Transocean Winner which I enjoyed. A long one, but a good read. Excellent journalism. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/may/02/where-oil-rigs-go-to-die

Aye, it was a horrible game. The conditions made for a lot of wayward passing and poor touches and the ref compounded it by losing control completely from the first minute. In fairness to McInnes, he recognised that Saints come here in and sit in and so put a more attacking threat at fullback (Hayes then Shinnie in the second) rather than Considine. It's actually the sort of thing we've been crying out for all season and our defence wasn't affected by it. I also understood his reasoning for playing Rooney slightly wide of McLean at the start. He won quite a few headers against Foster rather than against the centre halves. It was really more of a front two also when we had the ball. We had enough good chances to win that game, McLean missed a couple of good opportunities, Rooney missed a couple too. If you miss those types of chances then you risk losing. We were the better team and looking like the only team scoring and McInnes made an attacking double sub with plenty of the game left. We're correctly critical of Rooney's form but the subs were awful. Stockley especially. That's the real conundrum for me and the problem we've had all season. Stockley and Storey are just not good enough and looking to the bench we're completely limited. That has meant our first eleven looking very jaded at this point of the season. The break helped a lot and it's obvious that next season we just need to go for quality rather than quantity. We just need one or two very good subs, not eighteen Miles Storeys. Anyway, Saints did their usual. Sat in, battled hard and took their chances. A deserved win.

Terrahawks. Fucking cunts.

Maybe he and his family fancy a change in lifestyle. Or he could go to some English shitehole and play in the Championship. Good on him for considering something different (if it's nae a heap of pish of course).

He must have felt like a right tit turning up at Ibrox for the cup final.

Strange one like. I can sort of see why a ref would give just a yellow in a match, but to overturn his decision seems bizarre. It's borderline during the game in that it could have been argued either way. An aggressive challenge, out of control and deliberate (i.e. not going for the ball) with studs raised. It's very difficult not just to back the ref in this instance. It makes it very difficult for refs when they're undermined for decisions like this. There is simply no need to overrule him when the challenge meets all the criteria for a red card. Compare it to the one Hayes appealed against the Tims last season (the Quinn winner game), where it was agreed that the player was out of control. He wasn't at all. Whereas Brown, here, aimed at the player with his foot in a position that could have really hurt the player. I hope this is held up as evidence in all future appeals we have. We've only had one straight red this season (Stockley) so it's difficult to compare decisions.
