A llad insane

Train down to Motherwell as was the norm those days, remember just getting in as the ball went in

Looking like we might have 2 loans coming in & a bonus ball permanent signing. Could it be Christie/May/Easton ? If D.M does take in a l.b surely means Shinnie will be a regular in midfield. Also presuming Maddison not returning with the highland tim coming in.

Terrible draw, couldn't have been much worse. We dont have a good record there. Time to improve that record, just hope its not shifted to the Sunday.

Ok. East Fife away sounds a decent shout too.

Of the players i've seen us linked to, O'Halloran i cant see happening, wouls only entertain that one if Hayes/McGinn leave. Commons a year or 2 back yes but now nah ! Stevie May could be very effective for us, i noticed he hasnt even started a game this season yet, but get him fit i would say yes (also the possibility of getting him on a perm.if it suits both parties).

Who we wanting then ? The rangers at Pittodrie will do me.

Quite enjoyed that today, despite the baltic weather. Very comfortable win, Stranraer tired badly in 2nd half & really if it wasnt for their keeper playing out his skin & some poor finishing, we could have had 7 or 8 goals. No bad performances, although Rooney looks so out of touch. Thought my top dons were Shinnie & McGinn. Great to see Wright & Ross get a run out, we really need to see more of Scott Wright in particular. Worryingly Hayes leaving the field seemed a bit like a farewell leaving, hope i am wrong. Good professional performance though.

Agree that our away following grew through periods of non success (strangely), but we had some huge away supports in the 80s too. It was in this decade, when we started getting 1/2 the end behind the goals at both Sevco & Timothy (occasionally the whole end). We always took a huge support to Perth & Dundee. Where i noticed the big difference recently is to places like Partick,Hamilton & Motherwell.

Good news as i rate him, but i must admit to being a bit surprised given his lack of opportunities.

Deserved award as on the whole our away support is very good, crazy thing is , our home support is the polar opposite.

Talk about a sideways step. Be surprised if anything came of this.

I agree, horrible team,horrible fans, never liked them, my dad hated them aswell, think i got the hatred thing from him. We have an awful record at Tynecastle, why i dont know. In about the hammer throwers right from the start. C.o.y.r

I find his continual slowing down of the game irritating to be honest, how many times have we seen players bombing forward to then see Jack turn back for no reason, & play the simple wee pass to a c/b, he seems to be applauded for that by his fans. Robson had a sublime range of passing that Ryan could only dream of. For me, he could easily be replaced.

Certainly need a no nonsense tough tackler in the middle, we simply dont have one. McLean is very good in an advanced role in midfield as is young Maddie. Problem for me is Ryan Jack, i would have no hesitation in getting rid , he has to be the most overated player we have had, & never captain of the ship either. I have no problems in the c/b position either apart from Reynolds (who should only be back up at best). Either 2 of Taylor,Considine or OConnor will do me. Another different sort of mobile striker i think we need, (has Storey done something wrong ? lazy in training ?) So tackler in the middle & a nippy striker please.

2 seasons ago. A few of the players from that title winning squad are no longer with us & one or two of present squad are out on loan. Still no excuse for this shocker of a scoreline though, been some poor scores for the U20s this season. End of the road for Sheerin ?

In/ oot - In Mainer (sec.D) 2 0 (Stockley,Maddison) 8,188.

If Taylor was still a regular in the team, i would have said him as he is very vocal, poss. Considine but he isnt mouthy enough. Shinnie probably then.

McInnes, mentioning on radio tonight he could do with another midfielder, if i heard right.

Here's my take on it. Clancy as a ref, completely out his depth, hate playing this shower of hammer throwers whose only mission is to stop you playing at any cost. Ryan Jack was totally abysmal (better team without him), Shinnie has regressed alarmingly, Mcginn totally anonymous & Hayes has been murder for weeks. The positives, Considine my m.o.t.m again closely followed by O'Connor & Lewis assured again. Poor game due to our top players being out of sorts, Saints spoiling tactics & shocking, weak refereeing.

If it was to happen, that would possibly be my choice.

Agree with some of this, Considine prob. was my m.o.t.m & Hayes does indeed need dropped, very poor just now, bring in young Scott Wright or even Wes Burns. Myles Storey must be tearing his hair out. Both McGinn & Pawlett were taken on far too late yesterday, should have been on just after half time. I dont agree they are a good side, i think they are piss poor t.b.h ! if we finish below them in the league, we will have had a bad season.

Aye Lewis was the only one i half clapped at the end. Gutless performance again, couple of juicy tackles in the last 5mns does not make up for the other 85mns of pussying around. D.Ms team selection & use of subs can only be described as baffling !

You will be glad to hear there was total silence from all dandies there, horrible atmosphere outside though

Rooney definately needs dropped & ive been saying that for quite a while. For me, he seems slow,his touch is very poor, is not good in the air & looks unfit. Stockley i.m.o couldnt do worse & is far better in the air. I think we should be playing a 442 system more often with one bigger striker & one more mobile one. Stockley/Storey or Stockley/McGinn for instance.

Said for a while we should go for Ali Crawford. Be surprised if we can manage to extend the Maddison deal further.
