McInnes confirmed just now on Sportsound that McLean told him a few days ago, but he got wind that someone else was going to run the story, so he broke it first.

God getting right stuck in to Sounness's comments just now on Sportsound, highly pleasing.

Massive, massive game. Heart: 2-1 us. Head: 2-1 them.

So many words to state the obvious.

I find some of the negativity around McGinn's legacy bewildering. McGinn, Hayes and Rooney were the cornerstone of the dramatic turnaround in the club's fortunes in the last five years. He may have had poor games like anyone else, but he was easily one of our best players.

Strange time to announce it. He'd better hope the next Sevco manager is just as keen on him come January.

Quick summary of our two loanees then: Bruce Anderson (CF) @ Elgin City (L2): Joined Elgin at the end of August for his first taste of regular senior football, made an immediate impact by scoring a double against Berwick (Elgin lost 3:2) followed by another against Montrose (Elgin won 2:0). Has played full 90 in the 2 league games since then. Connor McLennan (CF) @ Brechin City (CH): Went back to Brechin after a promising 1 month emergency loan last season where he scored once in 3 appearances for the then-league1 club. Has started all 6 games since joining them at end of August, but no goals so far in a seriously struggling Brechin side that has only managed 2 points from 30 in the Championship.

I shall look forward to them shutting down the transport infrastructure of central Edinburgh for years before eventually installing a single seat in an already existing stand and leaving the rest to rust in a depot in Costorphine.

I suspect upping Moult's bid was dependent on getting the extra money from reaching the euro playoffs - I also think we've lost out on him, but I reckon he'll be off down south now his highlights reel has got a bit of a boost.

Can't wait for Pedro's press conference, the guy's face was practically purple by the end of the match

Me or Storie? The jury's till oot on me I can only assume we've kept Storie on as cheap cover, I expected him to go the same way as Cammy Smith. Mind you, I also expected McKenna to go too, he's surprised me the last few games, good on the lad.

FT well 2 Sevco Feck All Yet another ugly, brutal game of anti-football involving Sevco. Both managers sent to the stands, what should have been 4 players sent off, and some godawful refereeing.

Unbelievable. That should've been a straight red for Alves. BTSport commentators reckon there should have been 3 straight reds in the game.

Sevco losing 1-0 to Well, both managers sent to the stands, Cardoso off with a broken nose, Moult running around with a chunk out of his head. Make that 2-0. Moult just scored again :rofl:

Hemmin, I'm too busy moaning about the Scotland manager (whoever he is). We seem to have only two players out on loan at the moment - Connor McLennan to Brechin (although I keep seeing mentions of him being released last month) and Bruce Anderson to Elgin City. Or a meringue? From last year's loanees, Aaron Lennox, Dylan Thomas, Cammy Smith, Lawrence Shankland have all been punted Craig Storie, Daniel Harvie, Danny Rogers and Scott McKenna all moved up to 1st team for this year.

Malky fecking Mackay. Interim manager. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41612064

Strachan managed to set up and disprove his argument in one sentence.

I'd go further and say that a much larger proportion of our 1st team should be youngsters picked on form. Then at least the senior Scotland squad would have a purpose by encouraging, rewarding, and showcasing emerging talent - the same as the national youth squads do, but as the highest level they can play at. We're never likely to win the world cup, so let's give real meaning to the "reward" of being called up.

Yay, glorious failure. The sooner we get back to club football the better.

Is that his preparation for the Christmas fixtures?

Do the No Kingsford have any actual grounds on which they think the council have acted unlawfully? That's a pretty serious allegation. Or is this just a threat to initiate a lengthy and expensive bit of last-gasp obstruction against the council if they don't get the decision they want.

and.... right now we're top of the league - Hibs beating Tic

hat-trick rooney

Just got mentioned on RedTV that the club has broken 11K season ticket sales for the first time in its history
