  1. Might be the chap to resurrect the Dons...(pope willing)
  2. If Glass ends up playing the style of football he claims to want to emulate,ie Tony Mowbray circa 2005,then hopefully teams will be more concerned with our free scoring strike force
  3. Kind of agree.The style of play at the start of the season drew attention away from the defence,which was then exposed to reality after we started losing our main attackers
  4. Another popular appt then ?
  5. This guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Russell
  6. Im as excited about this as I was at McInnes appointment(ie not very),...but,for mcInnes first 4 years he did better than I expected so who knows,lets give Glass the chance.As someone said,some of the reactions to his appointment have been embarassing,mainly elsewhere but here too. Dont know much about the other guy mentioned,Russell?. Bit of a left field addition but potentially a decent appt.?
  7. Who do you have in mind?
  8. Yip,I would take Neil ahead of the others mentioned,think he'd be more likely to appeal to a majority of the support,unlike the other candidates. A bit unlucky at PNE with injuries,players moving on etc,but known for playing youth and high tempo fitba. Maybe feels he can continue at a higher level down South but worth the enquiry

    In that '74 side that should really have gone further in the World Cup.
  10. The race for 3rd cooling down nicely
  11. Joe Lewis going a bit Amish MacLennan so clumsy
  12. Better fro,m MacLennan whos been honking so far
  13. Jittery stuff so far
  14. A big loon. link working so far http://www.hesgoal.com/news/75849/Dundee_United_vs_Aberdeen.html
  15. Heres the latest Here we go podcast, with an interview with Atlantas in house commentator talking highly of Stephen Glass Here’s Where The Story Ends (podbean.com)
  16. Kinda curious to see what Glass could do on the one hand,...on the other,am not sure he'd have enough of a presence/aura for players or fans to buy into....,just a hunch.Maybe a bit like Cathro who seemed well qualified for the job at Hearts. If it is Glass,think we'd need to be smart with the choice of assistant Though I'm kinda hoping for something a bit more leftfield that fires the imagination No to Scott Brown,..Billy Davies? nae sure about him,became a bit paranoid towards the end of his Forest job did he not? Always thought he was a bit of an oddball,but did have a decent record prior to that
  17. Not a gambling man so not sure how significant this is,but betting suspended on Steven Glass as manager on Sky Bet,and elsewhere ? https://m.skybet.com/football/manager-specials/event/27263149
  18. hints of Sheryl Crowe - Nicki Bluhm
  19. Wouldnt be averse to asking Ferguson at least,but would have my doubts if he'd come here.Been in the English game a long time,might see us as a backward step?. If he was persuaded though,as long as we had the right assistant to counter his weaknesses,whatever they may be,..tactics,diplomacy ? etc Think the US candidates might struggle to adjust after their first Wintry Tuesday night at Pittodrie being booed off the park,but you dont know til you try....
  20. Only got Sgurrs Dearg,Alasdair,Mhic Chonnich and Dubh Mor to do,not sure i'll ever manage the In Pinn though,even with a guide. Did you get many Munros done before you left?
  21. With Frank McGarveys housing tastes...
  22. Havent done An Teallach,or Liathach but did Aonach Eagach just over a year ago.It was a fantastic day out,but if the weather hadnt been perfect and I was on my own I doubt I would have had the balls to complete.There were a couple of down climbs that I needed my fellow walker to guide my feet. what Ive gathered about AT and Liathach is you can make it as difficult as you want by going over all the tops,but that there are bypass routes if you dont fancy them,though some of the bypasses are said to be almost as dodgy as going over the tops. Only 60 left to do,but nae sure I'll actually complete. Pic is of the Chancellor on Aonach Eagach IMG_8018 (1) by , on Flickr
  23. Panes me to say he could well be in the frame. Of the names going around,the ones that interest me are the Knutsens(Norway),Maloney plus a n other,and a probably out of our reach Maresca. Goodwin the onlyone of the Scottish contingent
  24. Calvin Zola @66/1 might be worth a fiver
