And right on cue he scores against caley

On the subject of CM I've seen a wee bit of jackson Irvine this season. Really impressed by him, he's a very lively box to box midfielder. IMO he would walk into our first team, we could probably get him for a Maclean type amount in January despite him only signing for them in the summer.

Shinnie is a good shout imo. That said it took time for Anderson to grow into the role, couple of seasons if memory serves.

I was calling all summer for a new CM as it was glaringly obvious flood was the weak link. I think it's a little premature to be talking about losing dressing rooms but what was hoped to be only a blip has very suddenly become something way more serious. If the players have lost any faith in McInness then it's probably faith in his tactical ability. His selection and subs must be confusing the squad as much as us and it doesn't help that it's fairly obvious DM has no idea what his best side is. A shoeing at the San Giro at the weekend could turn this into a full blown crisis...... An unlikely win on the other hand would do much to improve mood. It's a big game for McInnes when you think about it. Regardless of result I don't expect him to be sacked but I would speculate that any kind of embarrassing scoreline would turn a fair chunk of the support against him which would make his peg a bit more shoogly.

In Golf club Main Supporters bus 2-0 I'd go Ward Logan Taylor Considine Shinnie Jack MacLean McGinn Smith (why not, he deserves his chance after recent weeks) Hayes Rooney

Personally I would like to see Goodwillie played there but I take your point that mcginn would be effective there too. I'd also like to see Smith given more game time

The frustrating thing for me at the moment is the lack of consistency in selection, particularly in defence. There are two natural cb partnerships in Quinn and Reynolds, Taylor and Considine. Trying to play all 4 of them at once is just ridiculous especially when logan and Shinnie are clearly superior fb's. The CM positions are too chop and change also. Jack and Maclean have looked a complimentary pairing when they have played together and for me this is our strongest option regardless of whether you think KM should play further forward or not.

You just won today's internet manc, class!

I voted yes for many reasons but top of the list was never be ruled by tories ever again. I was really surprised the yes campaign didn't put up billboards with pictures of thatcher, portillo, tebbit, IDS, Osbourne and Cameron with the tag "never have to tolerate their like again"

I wasn't convinced Platini would have won it anyway. Not many outside europe would be voting for the head of UEFA to take over when they think FIFA is to UEFA orientated as it is and it's one nation one vote. Also he voted for Qatar so fuck him. I agree Kow, the whole thing should shut down

Fascinating appointment. I don't really have a 2nd team but if i did it would be BVB so I have a lot of time for Klopp. I'll defo be looking out for the scousers score a bit more now. He can be quite abrasive as well and I can totally see him falling out with Jose and Van Gaal pretty quickly which would be highly entertaining. Ancellotti, if he was actually interested, would have been a safer appointment but Klopp took the Dortmund team from the pits of despair which goes in his favour. Honigstein postulated on football weekly that a lot of teams had kinda figured Klopps high intenstity game out which was one of the reasons for BD's downfall. It defo played a part and there didn't seem to be a plan B but the big contributor for their rapid decline at the end of Klopps tenure that was losing Gotze and Lewandowski to Bayern. It really deflated the rest of the squad and you can understand why. I really hope this works out for him.

No words can ever truly express how much I despise the conservative's. The worst part is whoever replaces Cameron, either Osbourne or Johnson you would think, is going to be worse. It breaks my heart to think we could have been free of them.

I was reading up about port Arthur today actually SF, that guy was proper bonkers! This has been doing the rounds on social media recently in case you missed it,JJ nails it IMO. Thing is I remember Bill Hicks doing material on gun control over twenty years ago, that little has been done despite a multitude of massacres since defies logic. 310 million is a staggering figure, it's just mental. I don't accept that it's not possible to take them out of circulation, but it would take a few generations.

Yesterday we started with Hayes playing cm. It's all very well having versatile players and utilising them as such but playing an winger in cm when it would be far more effective to play MacLean alongside Jack and Hayes in his natural position makes no sense to me.

I feel traumatised by that.

It would appear we have been taking lessons from the efe ambrose school of defending

I weep for humanity sometimes, I really do.

Looks like your spidey sense is better than mine manc

I think we'll be fine manc, Wednesday was just a blip. If you look back through the dm era we have always responded well the game after losing. A guy I play darts with writes the caley thistle online previews and he would snap your hand of for a draw right now.

In but I'm on call so no market bar for me pre match. That said I just got a dog so can't spend too much time away from him at first. Away end Birds mum's for tea (her hun bro is going the home end he's a nice guy so I won't hold it against him) 2-0 dons Rooney and Hayes to really wind up the ict faithful

Bebo from the hat on the ball here. Hilarious http://www.afc-chat.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=39414&st=0

You wound me sir. Coldplay indeed!

You kinda have to admire the ballsiness of it

You just know Shinnie is going to be out for months don't you

2 players injured already, fucks sake
