  1. Simple enough to get round though. Just state that there will be no abandoning of fixtures, but if any individual club wishes to postpone their fixture they are free to do so. I actually have little problem with the Huns being performative Huns, but they shouldn't have their ways forced onto the rest of the league. Let them be shown up for the peak virtue signallers (the hypocrisy being huge as they'd be the first people to talk about cancel culture and so on) that they are in what is the zenith moment for virtue signalling. It would perfectly highlight the childish charade for what it is.
  2. No thanks. It's not every 70 years though, is it (quite literally, you're incorrect). The monarchy as a symbol doesn't die with the Queen. This isn't about the minor inconvenience of missing a football game. I'd have thought that someone so willing to engage in what would be called conspiracy in other social issues would have a little bit more freedom of thought on this one.
  3. I mean, you don't make the best arguments at times.
  4. Do you think she'll come back and reclaim her titles?
  5. Aye, prince Andrew is a regular poster on here and he'll be sweating with rage when he reads that post. Your argument is equally as ignorant and distasteful as the one it criticises. I'm not coerced into grief for anyone else's elderly relative, yet a heavily funded attempt is being made for me to mourn this particular one. It's sinister, crude and belongs in Iran or North Korea. We wouldn't miss a week's football - and nor should we - if Ferguson or God died, and we're right to focus on the unsuitability of that mourning period. It's disgusting.
  6. Anyone, like me, who was attending the Dons game, is being subjected (because we are subjects) to mourning. It's being decided for us, and we have no say. He's correct to be outraged, it's a fucking disgrace, whether we have other stuff we can do or not. That you use your demonstrated vastly superior intelligence and wit to defend against, rather than augment, the criticism is rather wasteful, and a little pathetic.
  7. You think that they are in some way responsible? That Ajax performance can't have been easy for her.
  8. Aye, weirdos. Have to admit, when you said that people would die with the increase in heating costs, I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
  9. Boom!
  10. 3-0 to us?

  12. Well, aye. The word fantastic doesn't have any fixed boundaries. I'd put gillhaus in the phenomenal category. I only ever categorise Dons players too, so comparisons to Zidane or whoever is not relevant. I'd put Wright in the same category as Fraser if that helps (although Wright leaves him for dead in the Judas category). I'd have described Jack as fantastic too, once.
  13. I would have. I've always thought he was a fantastic player who could have got a proper move. Unfortunately McInnes decided otherwise and we lost him to the scum. He adds something - on his day - that other players don't, and I'm really surprised he's not been in a Scotland squad. Obviously, he's an utter rat fuck.
  14. As wasw said further up though, good is comparative, so yes it is relevant if he's better than Stewart. We finished second with Taylor (on 76 points) and he was regularly good enough to get us into Europe and part of some good wins once there. He had enough good attributes to allow us to work round his limitations. Seabass mentioned Cammy Smith in another thread, he was what I would describe as a good footballer. Good touch, good passer and technically good at fitba. The opposite of Taylor, in that his physical attributes meant he'd never make it at a good enough level. Taylor's physical attributes more than made up for his technical deficiencies. That occurs to a greater or lesser degree across the game at all levels. Grant Hanley made it in "the greatest league in the world"™. It's possible for Taylor to both be shite and good (I believe I said a good signing) at the same time.
  15. All very fair. He was still decent for us all things considered. I wouldn't (and didn't) want him back just to clarify, but he was far from our worst defender this century and far from the worst defender in the league when he played for us. If I could be arsed with Stewart screenshots, we'd be in a similar position is basically what I'm saying. Taylor was always that defender you throw in the mix while the proper players work in behind and alongside, I'm struggling to see which of those roles Stewart plays, mainly due to his extreme lack of pace.
  16. I hated Taylor when he joined, but once he learned his limitations and strengths he was good for us. If we'd had no prior experience of Taylor when he signed again, the fans would have loved him. He rarely made the type of error that he did in his first spell, was strong and won everything in the air. Despite his forgiveable red card at the weekend, he's had a great start to the season with killie and is at least on par with Stewart. A more objective observer than me would likely say better.
  17. Richardson is better than Jack Gurr. He's lacking in confidence and the manager needs to take him back to basics. If he keeps doing one or two things over and over, he'll get there. Positionally, he's improved since day one. There are plenty of fullbacks in this league that have just been able to run fast in a straight line and kick it sideways at the end and done well. He's got the pace to make that work. Jury still out on Stewart. Slower than Considine and lax at passing. Appears to be good at one on ones and positionally decent. Has been bailed out on numerous occasions already by Scales coming across to cover in behind, however I get the impression he's often aware of Scales being there, so possibly not an issue. I think he'll do fine, but he's no better than Taylor or Considine (pre injury). Which isn't a bad thing of course, both were good.
  18. Just after they spot him in the starting lineup.
  19. I'm assuming "they'll" suspend Clarkson for this one.
  20. I think everyone remembers where they were that day.
  21. County finished above us last season, it's not like we're the Tims or Huns celebrating their 89th goal like it's a massive deal. But I do agree, there is no need to be on the pitch. Although maybe they just wanted to touch Duk's pex. As long as it doesn't escalate into regular full scale pitch invasions then it's fine. I suspect grounds like County are going to see it a lot, whenever this a decent sized away support in town.
  22. I think he's a dick
  23. I agree. I'll just be doing the don't pay UK thing in October if it reaches 1 million*. Just a straight refusal. It's logical, like the poll tax refusal. Will you be joining in? If not, can I ask why not? Do you think there are any other ways in which we can help those who can't afford their bills with a government that is refusing to listen? *My assumption is that if it has reached the target, it has because the government has done nothing. I personally believe they will act in a week or so, so that Truss can claim hero status.
  24. I think Duk can play alongside both Miovski and Ramirez rather than instead of. I think we need two up front against teams that try and play us on the counter and sit deep. Miovski has looked a little stranded on his own against eleven.
  25. Either way, the window has been and gone, so we're still paying him until at least January. I don't think Miovski needs 90 minutes every week and I'd like to see Ramirez getting 20 minutes most weeks. He's good enough. The sitter he missed earlier in the season isn't any worse than some of the one's Miovski has missed. He's proved he's prolific.
