Ten Caat

Think he was distinctly injured for a good chunk of the season

Bad injury and a year older. If going for free then I'd probably take him back but definitely not if Celtic want any sort of fee.

No team in the SPFL would struggle in League 1 with the exception possibly of Livingston who just got promoted. As I have said before, ourselves Hibs and sevco would easily cope in the Championship. Hearts and Kilmarnock would probably yoyo between the Championship and League 1 and the rest sit comfortably in League 1 with Motherwell challenging for promotion and getting it now and again.

Celtic Championship level? Unbelieveable arrogance from yet another guffy who vastly overrates the quality of the English league system.....and it is only because of the foreigners imported at vastly over-inflated prices that give it any quality at all. You lot finished 7th last season. Trust me, Celtic would finish comfortably above Burnley every season without exception. And we didn't finish all that far behind Celtic, although with finances as they are I do concede that at present Aberdeen are Championship level, though I also believe that we would be mid to top end level as would sevco and Hibs. I hope this arrogance is mirrored by your manager and players. You might just find Scottish football is a tad better than you believe.....

I guess you are too young to remember drawing Ipswich in 81. Everyone from Guffland ( and most of the rest of Scotland) told us we would get a battering similar to the one Liverpool gave us the previous year. well it just didn't work out that way..... I do concede that the team that faced Ipswich were just a wee bit special....and we all knew it

Who would you have liked???

Fantastic draw huge opportunity for us to show everyone that Guffland isn't all it's made out to be. Surely BBC/ITV will show both legs live as they are both bound to sell out.

No legal expert but the case will be subject to Civil Law rather than Criminal Law so there is no real prospect of him being arrested unless he is subsequently shown to be participating in a fraud. And if that was even looking remotely possible there is no way he would risk leaving his South African bolthole. The recent resignation of sevco board members is an indication that King is rapidly losing the support and confidence of his fellow boardroom colleagues. Sevco are disappearing down the gurgler like their dead predecessors. Fuck them and all who sail in the newco sinking ship.

Tansey is going nowhere unless we agree to subsidise his wages heavily.....clubs in Scotland know we want him out and the one club who definitely wanted him in got relegated. The one thing in his favour is that he was never even close to being fit when he was with us last season so this coming season with a good pre-season training behind him he will be like having a totally new player on our books. I honestly don't feel he is as bad a player as some on here think just his fitness issues took over. Of course his attitude will certainly have to improve if he is ever to get back into DM's long term plans. The McGeouch situation has gone strangely quiet but possibly he could still be away on holiday after the Scotland tour. Can't see Hivs being able to get anywhere close to matching what we are offering (if the 10k/week rumours are indeed true) so its just his preference if he would rather play top end Scottish Premier or bottom end English Championship.

Cant deny they deserved to win, they could and probably should, have been 4 up before giving away that stupid penalty. Belgium should pump them in the final game of the group but by then both of them could already have qualified for the last 16 and end up playing a boring 0-0 game using fringe players and taking no risk of anyone getting injured. As Ive said previous it should be Colombia they face in last 16. Just hope they dont fk things up against Japan later today

Sevco have just bought a crock English reserve player for £3million. Would he get McKenna's place in the Dons team? Absolutely not..... So no way should the club accept anything less than what an established international player goes for. Which is northwards of £5million. As said by another.....he is better than Hanley who went to Newcastle from Blacburn for £5million a couple of years back and then sold on to Norwich for a (rumoured) £3.5million a year later

Now a Scotland first pick and probable long term captain....there is no way we should be selling for anything less than £5 million and with a hefty percentage of any future sell on fee too.

I'll be investing in that one

Although hoping for Tunisia to get a result against Guffland I am a realist and expect them to lose. Guffland I would then expect to end up facing Colombia in the round of 16, again I think they will get through this. Depending on results it was then supposed to be Brazil or Germany in the quarters. Haven't looked at the tables or done the maths but with both of them getting piss poor results in the opening games I really hope we don't find that half of the draw suddenly opening up and giving the Guffies a relatively easy march to the semi's.

It's only one end loon. There will be plenty space to accomodate you elsewhere in the ground in comfort and safety. I'm all for the safe standing section and hope everyone one get behind it to ensure the club makes it happen.

aye Iceland get my vote too even despite what Arnason said.....

Thank f@ck for some proper football. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco and Iran involved in the first 3 games was hardly the crackerjack opening the World Cup deserves.

So the obvious solution is to sign a striker whose attributes do suit McInnes' tactics rather than try to fit a square peg into a round hole. Agree it isn't Rooney's fault but having him on the left wing last season was like playing with a man down.

I'd have to question your "biological fact" statement. There are cases of identical twins ( who share the exact DNA profile with each other as they result from a single fertilised egg separating into 2 embryoes) where one twin is straight and the other gay/lesbian. I'm sure I read recently that a theory as to why guys turn out to be gay ( there was no mention of why lesbians are so and the theory wouldn't fit i believe in their case) is that the developing baby in utero has its brain accidentally "washed" with large dose of oestrogen from the mother. Not sure how this fits with the identical twins where one twin (the straight one) would avoid the oestrogen overdose.

Can't really see him getting much better than Yinited, he could probably go to a Motherwell or even just up the road from Tannadump but the caravan dwellers are spending (relatively) big in what looks like an all out gamble to get back up this coming season and on paper certainly seem no worse than those sides mentioned. If he can agree a contract with them I'd hope he is allowed to leave for free as thanks for his service. Would be epically funny if the gamble failed though

A bloody nose, 2 broken legs, a corner flag rammed up his Gary Glitter and one way ticket back to Liverpool courtesy of the orc hordes demanding his immediate sacking....

I wouldnt say its homophobic for a straight guy to be repulsed by the thought of what they get up to sexually or even just kissing each other. What I will stand up for is their right to be and do what they want (within the law of course). It shouldn't be anyones business but their own and shouldn't be labelled as abnormal. It's just different.

I'm certainly no do gooder, just that firstly I went through primary school with 2 boys who we all knew were gay before they even did (and shamefully I and all the other guys taunted them at the time for being "poofs". We knew no better) Both indeed as adults did turn out to be gay but are both in long term relationships and extremely successful businessmen. I am proud after 40 odd years to still call them friernds. Secondly, my chosen profession was General Nursing. I started my training in 1985 and in those days it was certainly true that in that branch of nursing many of the males were homosexual (psychiatric nursing conversely had relatively few gay guys in it). Yes there were some who were overtly effeminate but others unless you knew them personally you wouldn't have a clue about their sexuality they were in every respect "normal" blokes who just happened to fancy other blokes. Again I'm proud to call the ones that I knew friends. I would never deny anyone's right to free speech. If the views you hold contrast against mine that is entirely your right. Won't stop me finding them offensive though. And I really do hope your comments about "fancying wee boys" in a later post were a crude (and unsuccessful) attempt at injecting some humour into the thread......

Only gay footballer I can think of who openly admitted his sexuality was Justin Fashanu who most certainly dd not "mince" and definitely never wimped out of any challenges. Sol Campbell....vaguely remember some rumours but don't think they were ever substantiated. Again, even if he was, his attitude on the park was never anything other that one million percent committed and never shirked a challenge. There is a worrying amount of rank homophobia in this thread. If it was 1978 i could probably understand it (though in no way condone it)...different generation, different values.... but this is 2018 fgs. I'm actually nauseated at some of the comments...

4 full ROI caps isn't really an "uninspiring" signing and as said before he has played at a decent level so this one I am fully behind and hope we get him in asap
