Sharpie

Quite interesting. I have been making suggestions to the club regarding some items related to your survey.

PM please so I can do the same as Harcus, ta!

I think we could probably hype the lad up some more.

Aye, he's better than Jerren Nixon and how much was he valued at!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

Public Image Limited at Brixton Academy later next month.

Nae Calum Stewart are you?

I would enquire with the club about that SeeBass.

Is he really such a bad choice ?

I couldn't really see him getting the team fired up, a skill which is a prerequisite these days.

I can imagine the events right now in the January window. We go for Paterson. Luggy says "who is this lad Paterson? Who does he play for? Ah who cares. Sign him up now before that bastard at Aberdeen does!"

 

Luggy's assistant says "err, he's already on our books, Mr Sturrock"

 

"He is?" remarks a surprised Luggy.

Do you write sitcoms in New Zealand Reekster?

Kelt.

 

That football manager thing he did was rather amusing.

I thought it was shite.

WTF is it with every single contribution I make to the DT conversations being met with "wtf?", "you don't have a clue", or "you're an idiot".

 

 

Ban the clowns Reeky.

Andy Goram File Transfer Protocol ?

Andy Goram File Transfer Protocol ?

 

He was a bloody good goalkeeper, but not a patch on Leighton. Hey, we scored five past the ex-Motherwell, ex-Hibs and ex-Elgin twat

 

Not a patch on Leighton? Are you for real?

I don't think so if she manages to get even one or two people in each exercise to look at the way they view things in a different light. Her style is very aggresive and she is not out to win friends, not in the slightest and I liked that.

Nah min. That was me that said that. Paulinho was simply taking what I said into context for his argument's sake - hence the italics in Paulinho's post.

 

I was of the belief (like most of my arguments, I'm sure I read somewhere) that Hibs and St Mirren were the only debt-free clubs in the SPL.

I am pretty sure St Johnstone are debt free Reeky. If Hibs managed to plug a £3million gap in the last year and a half they may be debt free. I can't find any evidence to suggest they are debt free. They recently put a halt to a plan to rebuild one of their stands as it would have put them back in to heavy debt.

I thought she was brilliant. I don't know what the people involved were told before the exercise but they certainly were not being open minded about it. Good on her for having the dogged determination for so many years to continue to try and get through to so many people in the face of adversity.

I agree with Adam.

I think they have a debt of around £3 million. That's where it stood a season ago. Not sure if they made any big sales since then but they apparently had to splash some cash to get Stokes.

@Sharpie - And that the spine of our team stayed the same as I've said.

Thanks to Fergie. I think we are agreeing here.

Likewise, I enjoyed the 2nd half. Proper LOL moment when Mcmanus lost the heid and chopped down Driver, you can't beat seeing the OF in the huff.

That and Samaras poised to wheel away in celebration.

@Sharpie - I do hope they'll even out but the revenue streams will always be slightly higher at the Old Firm so they'll have the advantage.  To compete with that Aberdeen would need to keep the spine of the club intact for a few years, constant chopping and changing personnel doesn't work.

 

 

The revenue streams of the Old Firm would have been higher during the Fergie era as well. We were lucky Dick Donald took a punt on Ferguson.

@leith_red - I agree our future as a club is bringing through our own youth and selling them to richer clubs, my only issue with that is the fact we'll never really progress as we'll constantly have the spine of our team ripped out. 

 

Letting players go has killed us in recent years.

 

Hibs may be a good example with regards bringing through talent, selling them for large sums and moving on, but it hasn't really helped them kick on as a club.  They've stagnated and regularly finish 5th/6th.

But that will happen to Celtic and Rangers more often now as well given their own investment problems? Things will even out more?

As a lifelong Aberdeen fan......could you plough millions into another club down the road and into a club which have strong hun tendencies?

 

I couldn't and wouldn't.

 

It just makes me wonder how true some of the media reports are that Calum Melville has been a lifetime dons fan....

 

I couldn't care if he's a Dons fan or not. What I do know is that he has behaved like a complete fanny this week.

@Sharpie - I absolutely agree, problem being that as long as there is bucketloads of cash in the English league players will be enticed down there.  Vicious circle.

Aye, but looks like that is life. If it means we compete in our own league with home bread players then that is a positive.

@manc_don - Aberdeen will be okay though, they don't need television money to strengthen.

They certainly shouldn't rely on it. Youth is the way forward for most teams in Scotland. Think back to times before over cooked TV money. Time to forget about England, we will never compete with England again for players. Certainly not without some sort of revolution.

From a neutral perspective...the correct team won and the referee had little to do with the result. I also didn't find it an enjoyable match to watch.

International clearance?? Wasn't he born in Dundee?

Will be from the Turkish FA will it nae?
