Fucking Sunday league pish!

Great to see young lads like Lazetic, Gyamfi, Duncan and Suman get their opportunity on the big stage. As an aside, we really need to be getting minutes for Lobban. Or we could just send him down south for a million quid, and never see him play.

Aye, it's a strange one. Although he looked good when he first joined. I mentioned previously how I thought that signing Dorrington made zero sense. Whilst there are still plenty of games for him to be involved in during the season, I imagine it'll leave a sour taste missing out on Europe. It's great for us to have an option such as him if we get two injuries at the back (once Tobers is fit I mean), but it's at the expense of a young lad's development, which isn't great. He could have gone to Livingston or Dundee and played every single week. After his involvement last season, I hope we were at least up front and honest with him that he'd be third choice right centre back.

It doesn't look too bad. I'd start Armstrong over Aouchiche if he's fit. Fullbacks are a bit poor, and the midfield is crying put for legs (what we should be getting from Palaversa basically). The other problem being that we've not got much of a plan B, and a few injuries to the players that make things happen and we turn into the nice looking but easy to beat team we've seen since the middle of last season.

Weird. Does it help that he's Scottish, for European purposes? As in, we might as well have another Scot to fill a place that would otherwise be empty? He was decent a few years back, but not entirely sure what he offers. A, sort of, McGrath replacement perhaps?

Think Gyamfi is October, not sure about Tobers. Given they've not had a preseason, they probably won't be up to speed for half the fixtures, so might be easier to just keep them out of it.

Don't you need three goalies? I'm guessing Gyamfi and Tobers could comfortably be left out.

Can naebidy at the BBC contact AFC to find out the whereabouts of Boyd? Just to see if he's okay really, a young loon like that. Also ask him if he's seen Sokler. Cheers.

I think he had to leave after the Germans bombed the city in 1943.

It didn't have the bit about Jesper in earlier! All good now, apart from the ever present segregation and prominent coverage of the scum.

Apparently he went to a campervan trade fair at the Birmingham exhibition centre instead of signing for Villa, and he's currently making his way back up the road in a luxury motorhome. Just rumours like.

Weegie pish Did Nick go to bed early after quickly penning some old firm shite and a couple of afterthoughts?

They don't show you the 78 efforts he blootered over the stand though. He certainly turns a bad window into a nae bad window. Obviously, he's just a stop gap, but it buys us time until January, when we can address the glaring issue of midfield. It's clearly a difficult time to be buying players. In terms of squad building for Europe, I think we're nowhere near the required level, but it is what it is. Hopefully by January we'll have a good picture of where the new signings are at, and we've had six months to nail down a potential midfielder. We're putting all our eggs in one basket with this lad, so he better not get injured! Edit: oh, aye, welcome back Kevin

That's a shite idea

I'm concerned that if I go to bed now, big Jesper won't be signed when I wake up.

So nae midfielder then, and no confirmation of Boyd or Sokler (or Nilsen!) leaving?

A loan deal, I take it? Reckon he might be an upgrade on Okkels.

This is outrageous

Never rated him, despite him doing well against us. They were probably in the seaside leagues in his last season (difficult to keep track of them). Always seemed a bit of a fanny. Anyway, if he comes free with a central midfielder, then welcome aboard.

I'm assuming that means that they're open to offers and the player is also onboard with it at least. I've a feeling that it might be our only signing. Maybe Sokler will stay put if we can't get anyone else in.

It's the meek displays, and continued errors from last season that are the issue. That, and the fact that we're watching players who don't really look that good. We've lost the assists and goals of McGrath, Gueye, Morris and Nisbet, replacing with worse at present. Without something today, I don't think many teams will be frightened of a visit to, or from, the Dons.

Trying to actively dissuade u18s to go to the red shed by charging £15 per game, or £54 for three. Edit: prices aren't that reasonable, and the shite state of having to pay in advance to get your seat - and only getting until Friday to do so - is rancid pish.

We say Yengi isn't going anywhere, but if we get Nisbet, then that's three strikers who are exactly the same, and if you could categorise Ambrose as a footballer - which you can't - then he'd be in the same bracket. They are all supposed to be players that can link play, hold it up and bring in the inverted wingers, with the number 10 close by and ready to move beyond. Neither of them stretch play, can get the ball over the top, run the lines etc. Ambrose is obviously done, but Yengi will get zero minutes if we get Nisbet in. As I said previously, as bad as Ambrose is, he should have been given the opportunity to play regular football last season at another side. Yengi too.

I don't think Hale is any better than Sokler, but we do need that type of player I think. If Lazetic turns out to be decent, I really don't see the point in Nisbet, who is very similar. We need options that vary in my opinion, but Thelin doesn't believe so. Ideally we'd have Nisbet and another, and in that case Hale would be a great choice. Then get Ambrose away and Yengi on loan. Realistically, though, we've got one day.

Good lad. Pace gets you very far in the game, but he added to it with hard work and a good attitude after a very ropey start. Good luck to him.
