Every time I see there's been an update on the transfer window thread I'm thinking is it a rumour or is it a new signing...please be a striker, or another CB or a right- or left- back and then I find out that it's still another posting about previous CBs who were crap. Come on, mods. sort it out...I'm too old to be excited unnecessarily only to find out sombody arguing about who was worse Ifil or Bus.

It's not how high Devlin's hands are its their positioning...even in real time everyone except Beaton can see they are both placed across his chest, below his clavicles - he should not have given the penalty in the first place and allowed VAR to contradict him if necessary, instead he gave a penalty which was always going to be overturned. Nilsen shouldn't have been marking their big CH...Ruby should have been the one picking him up. Yes, Polvara tried to buy a free-kick just as the St Mirren player did last season when their forward was chasing the ball, stood his ground and Devlin ran into him, that was a penalty and today should have been a free-kick to us, doesn't matter if he dived like a fanny (whatever that means), the point is Polvara had his body between the defender and the ball and he was pushed over.

But it really shouldn't have been awarded in the first place...Beaton had a clear view as Devlin put his arms together across his body (big jessie should have controlled it with his chest and started a counter-attack (or transition as you youngsters would say).

2-2 now with 10mins added on time (or until the Hun score).

Maybe they'll be prepared to wait for payment until we've been paid by the Hun for Barron...so they'll get their £700k some time in 2026.

Does Jute get a lot of dates at Christmas time?

Doohan, like Mitov and Roos before him, always stays on his line, whereas when the ball was played through to Boyle, Joe Lewis would anticipated that pass and have already been on the move to cut the angle - Boyle may well have gone round him and still scored but at least he'd have had a decision to make...out last 3 keepers make that decision easy. I didn't think McKenzie was fully fit...had a few opportunities to take on their full back but most times checked back onto his weaker right foot . Other teams have realised that one of our weak points is a ball down the channel...Malloy and McKenzie look at each other to decide who's going to go for it, then both decide to go for it too late...same on the other side with Ruby and Devlin.

Listen mate, don't be ageist, because if you're lucky you'll be old one day! I don't need any extra Vitamin D - both my teeth are my own, my muscles are adequate enough for me to stand by the urinal for 10 minutes (and, because my ancient brain is still sort of functions) realise it, too late, should have been 15 mins), and my bones are OK-ish if you'll excuse the creaking sound when I'm actually mobile. And sliding the ground towards the sea would only increase the incidences for glacoma for us old guys. Apart from that, thanks for your input.

Two Jags - he only hit the guy once (from memory).

Also if the ask about any weaknesses you may have, answer that you are extremely honest. When he/she says, "I don't think honesty is a weakness", reply with, "I don't give a flying fuck what you think"

Obviously they'd heard about Devlin's goal prowess and marked him tightly leaving Robertson having heard about his goal prowess.

Apparently the scorer didn't celebrate his goal 'cos he used to play for the dead club...what a melt.

Why was it 10mins (apart from the obvious). Was following the game on the BBC and a huge "YAASSSS" when we went 3-2 - since I'm sitting in Costa in Union Sq got a fair few disapproving looks...which increased when it was followed up with OH, FFS.

Not a fan then?

Or, when they equalized, a section wanting Rooos back!"

Sitting in the SS and it was a clear elbow to McKenzie...ref was on the blind side but the lino (old mannies term) must have seen it. I agree that McDonald should start at the tattiedome (actually thought he'd have started today). Would also start Palaversa instead of Nilsen as with him and Shinnie we are a bit immobile in the central area.

Their next game is a relegation battle against Ross County

Haha, when I first started going to Pittodrie in the early '60s you actually could do that because, apart from what is now called the Main Stand, the ground was completely wide open, so if you were standing, say, in the beach end and the ref. gave a penalty at the Merkland Road End all us young kids (and we'd have been a large proportion of the "crowd") would make a beeline to the other end to either try to put off the penalty taker (because, obviously, 20 spotty teenagers (not me obviously, as my skin was crystal clear) would have worried a professional fitba player) or hopefully watch the ball nestle in the net.

You were sitting behind the goals? Well kudos to you, even in my youngest days in the early '60s there was no way I could be behind both goals at the same time.

Well, that'll open Pandara's box. As regards your statement about passing, Stefan Gartenmann had the most completed passes for us last season - a totally meaningless statistic.

In such troubling times of strife and discord, behold the soothing calm of the humble Venn diagram : Perhaps you could adapt this Venn diagram to show us midfielders/age/passing ability!

Really?...but that isn't what you said, "Lightening pace for such a big man". Your point seemed to suggest that lightening pace and big man/male were mutually exclusive and I suggested an alternative.
