Hopefully Dundee United won't survive the next week either.

Tommy McMillan passed away last night after a long illness. Older Dandies will remember Tam as a fine centre-half and a Scottish Cup Winner in 1970.

“…question whether the correct processes were followed ahead of the postponement of their game at Aberdeen. The William Hill Premiership contest was called off at 4.20pm on Wednesday, less than four hours before kick-off. Aberdeen contacted league officials at about 1.30pm to request a pitch inspection amid concern over a waterlogged goalmouth and the match was called off by a match official after a 4pm inspection. A Celtic statement read: “It is extremely regrettable that last night’s match against Aberdeen was postponed, particularly at such a late stage. “While we understand the decision, clearly we sympathise with our supporters, many of whom had begun making their journeys or had arrived in Aberdeen already. “We have raised the matter with the SPFL, to understand whether the SPFL pitch inspection protocol was followed correctly. “In our view, there must be the ability to make earlier decisions on matches. We are very sorry that our fans have been inconvenienced in this way and thank you sincerely for your support.” Aberdeen announced the game had been postponed because of player safety concerns, with fourth official Greg Soutar later telling Sky Sports there were concerns players could lose their footing in the soft goalmouth. The ball was also not bouncing in the affected area in front of the Merkland Stand. The postponement followed sustained rainfall, after a period of heavy snow, in the Aberdeen area, and persistent showers are due to continue until Saturday’s scheduled Scottish:Gas Scottish Cup tie between the Dons and Motherwell at Pittodrie”. Get to fuck you fucking whining entitled fucking fucks.

He'll take one look at the squad and say "You're In a Bad Way".

It’s a good chance to dust off St Etienne’s greatest hits. I heard he’s on the phone to finalise the deal as we speak.

If we had anyone actually interested in holding Reform Ltd to account, it would be the end for Farage as well, he seems to be all over the files in a political inference context. BBC seem far more interested in “At Home With The Farages” puff pieces showing what a ruddy nice bloke to have a pint with Our Nige is while the Labour government are perfectly content to let GB News break all kinds of broadcasting regulations on a daily basis and despite the mounting evidence that Brexit was planned by these outside influences from the very beginning have no interest whatsoever in addressing that head on.

Who would have thought, that when they agreed to release the Epstein files, the first political casualty could be Starmer.

Again, this single thing alone would normally be enough to remove him from his job. We already know he’s a racist but there was a time when it was frowned upon for a president to be so open about it. see also - theft, embezzlement, child rape, breaking the constitution, weaponising the DOJ, murdering your own citizens, hiding top secret documents in your bog, destroying the White House, shiting yourself in public etc etc

At least everyone can enjoy their weekend now.

As long as it is not passing it from full back to centre half to other centre half to other full back and back again- possession with purpose is needed, not possession for the sake of it to stop the other team having the ball and doing absolutely fuck all with it, until one of said centre backs gives it away and defence is left exposed or retaining possession from a goal kick by having centre back pass the ball along the 6 yard box to Mitov, who is then under pressure to do something with it which he is not very good at If that bio is accurate, he likes possession in the opponents half, not the low block, so that would definitely be a positive

Is it wrong I’m hoping it’s off? Season is all about the cup and I’d prefer we have players who have at least played 90mins together before we take them on

Not really. We're a small club in footballing terms and a lot of the names approached, just wouldn't have fancied the job. Take heart from the fact you'll soon have a new guy to write off. You enjoy that.

The new managers contract has a clause in it that states, nae cup, nae cock. Chapped aff in the centre circle, at our next home game, following our exit. It's how they have taken so long to get someone. Leven only found out his contract had the same clause in it last Saturday morning.

But that to me isn't a bad thing, as I fully supported us going down the Thelin road and why I argued if we were changing manager that we should be going for someone similar rather than just abandoning the plan and plumping for Stephen Robinson. It didn't work out for Jimmy because of many things - some outwith his control, which we still need to fix - but mainly due to his own stubbornness and his own failings. Pinning my hopes on Horneland being a Thelin upgrade by just bringing in the tactics we thought Thelin was bringing.

I was on Flixbus between Perth and Dundee when it got called off. Got off at Dundee booked anothrer bus back to Glasgow went for a couple of pints in Trades Bar and bumped into a Motherwell fan i knew. Unsurprisingly he can't wait for Saturday.
