  1. I reckon Networks has good link-up play.
  2. I think there's a distinction to be made between altering one side of the pitch by under-watering and by repeatedly driving agricultural machinery through it. Agree with the general irony at the Old Lady claiming to be cheated, mind.
  3. For those of you with better things to do at three minutes past midnight on a friday evening, the financial results were released last night.
  4. Just to echo BB, can't recommend it highly enough to anyone thinking of coming along. Top bunch of lads, competitive fitba and (without wishing to sound appallingly obsequious ) the training's great too. I only joined at the back end of last season and was made to feel very welcome indeed. Anyone who's up for the dubious pleasure of mopping up after my mistakes, fill your boots.
  5. Out of the blue! Welcome aboard loon.
  6. Great night, Weir and McMaster were good sports too. Well done to all involved.
  7. Done a piece vaguely related to this last week if anyone's interested. [/shamelesselfpromotion] http://www.terracepodcast.com/1/post/2013/04/player-performance-1213-aberdeen.html
  8. I done it. Was a bit selective I admit. What I was trying to say was that he was bad enough in his actual position, so McGhee starting him for a string of games in the centre of midfield made him (and the team) look substantially worse. Probably a failed attempt on my part to appear clever. Justified it in the accompanying piece: And aye, Ifil was that bad.
  9. Hope they get Pressley. MacNamara's actually looked competent this season.
  10. I agree that our transitional phases could be a lot smoother Manc, but in reality I don't think bringing in an assaistant as a sort of apprentice is a practical approach. For starters, managers like to have their own people around them, and anyone coming in would probably feel a little undermined to have to serve under a predecessor (albeit one as experienced as Broon) before taking over for themselves. To be honest, McGhee could've been phased in over five years, worked his way up through any number of roles or parachuted into the centre-circle half an hour before kick-off against Sigma; he'd still have been an unmitigated pile of horseshite. More worthwhile putting in the hours before Brown's inevitable departure to find a manager who'd be a good fit for the club. And who won't take every fucker back when defending corners. Edit: Good points too BTR. Although, with such increased player turnover, even more caution should be taken when dealing with managers, lest we end up in some perpetual whirlpool of 'transition' where managers and playing staff don't stick around long enough to put a run of 38 decent games together.
  11. Only if that younger man represents an improvement. If punting Calderwood taught us anything, it's that change shouldn't be made for change's sake. Brown is doing a decent job - although the tight league makes it difficult to be too conclusive - and I think it'd be a little churlish and short-sighted to be rid of him if he just missed out on the top two, despite making significant progress. That said, the board should certainly be considering who might take over eventually. At the very least they have to ensure that the next appointment is well though out, and not just an endorsment of someone whose stock is coincidentally high whenever we find ourselves in the manager-less lurch again.
