wee toon red

Didn't see the game as I was travelling yesterday but those highlights suggest it wasn't up to much despite being objectively a good result for us? No good chances for either side until injury time and over an hour before we did anything of note in their half?

Celtic going without a keeper?!

Lobban in. Big chance for the kid.

Great result. Sadly no Dons in the squad, which really has to be an important part of Pfannensteil's new job. Our representation in the age groups is awful for a club of our standing.

20, 19 and 19. Players signed for the future, presumably by "the board" rather than the manager, who sees them in training every day and must feel they're not ready for the first team yet. They've plenty time to come good and prove themselves. Better to let them cool their heels than throw them into a struggling team.

Add me to the list of those who are still willing to give him a bit of time. There's talk that the new sporting director is imminent so I think that it might be prudent to let that relationship form before making any final decisions. Two things would change my mind: as you've said, relegation looking likely would be one and the other would be obvious signs that the players have stopped doing it for him. I didn't see the game yesterday so won't be making snap judgements off the back of that, but it does sound a bit like there could have been early signs of tools having been downed?

Don't know much about Teasdale but he certainly seems to know the way to goal at that level.

I think Miovski just isn't that good in the grand scheme of things. A good - very good maybe? - player for us but not up to La Liga and the resulting blow to his confidence seems to have set him back. An absolutely tremendous bit of business all round from the Dons.

Muscat turned them down according to Sky

Scotland qualifying for the World Cup would be better than anything the dons can still achieve this season so if Armstrong was needed - he isn’t, so it’s a moot point anyway - then he’d be welcome to go imo

Agree with the sentiment you’re expressing and would also add Ryan Fraser. When he was breaking through he got me off my seat more regularly than anyone since Jess.

Sounds a lot like us last year…

Agree with putting a strategy in place to give youngsters a pathway. Don’t really think it needs to be public tho, so many roasters in our support that they wouldn’t listen anyway unfortunately.

For what they're worth, "the stats" show we're a bit better than the league position suggests - if we could only get the ball in the fucking goal! Possibly still clinging to false hope but maybe a bit reminiscent of Hibs last season? BTW I detest xAnything when it comes to football but I'll clutch at any straw I can find right now.

Whenever Jimmy goes - hopefully in 5+ years after managing to pull off the unlikely and turn this thing around but even if it's next week - the new manager simply cannot be appointed until the technical director position is filled.
