The cynic in me reckons there will be a payment in jackie s account that makes it all make sense

"I've been saying consistently that 22/1 doesn't tempt my money. 33/1 would. What I'm also consistently saying is that our squad isn't deep enough to win in May." If any of the players were to say thing's like this after the start to the campaign the team has had then I would absolutely call it a defeatist attitude.

It's possible but unlikely. Sometimes these things happen in football though, look at atletico a few years ago and Montpellier a few before that. Both these teams had smaller and significantly less expensive squads then at least two other rivals for the title yet managed to win the league anyway. I bet montpellier were a lot longer than 22-1 at start of the season also. There's nothing wrong with aiming big and, thankfully, I doubt a defeatist mentality is alive and well in our dressing room these days. I suggest us fans should follow suit.

Never a red

Scrappy game I thought but delighted with results today. Sounds like we might have got away with one for the first goal but that's how it goes sometimes.

In Munns bar Away Car back north 3-0 goodie, maclean and Jack

RVP against boyata will be lol worthy

https://twitter.com/Sean_MC_09/status/636426547860242432/video/1 Maybe he's angling for a move back...... Sadly probably not but I would have him back in a heartbeat.

I don't disagree with any particular point Tom but, that said, I understand the frustration with the lack of information about the longer term plans from the club. All we have really been toldis they are wanting to build a new stadium and top end training facility but every attempt to do so has gone down in flames.

I want a pop at the Huns

It's obviously hard to tell at the moment because of his lack of game time. The fact that he's been on DM's radar for a while and he came across well in his red tv interview certainly encourages me greatly. I thought he did quite well when he came on against dundee, he looked strong with a decent touch and he showed good awareness to play in Mcginn when you wouldn't have blamed him for trying to go for it himself. My hunch is we will be trying to extend his loan till the end of the season before too long. Lets face it, anyone that's quick and can control a football easily you will likely do well in this league. Will we be doing any more business with Shankland off to Paisley to earn his hun-hunting badges? Probably not, this loan has been mooted for quite a while now but who knows with McInnes. If we do go for someone else I really hope it's a CM

Bravo Tom, very well said mate.

The whine about their disallowed goal is going to go on for a while. How much do they miss Denayer btw?

Paaaaahahahaha.

We were the better team for a large part of the game at the San giro but the heads went when the second goal went in. There's a steeliness about the team that we lacked before, the win at tannadice showed that for me, and I would be surprised to see us capitulate like that to anyone this season. I've said for quite a while now I would like an extra cm in the bisco/heikkinen/arni mould brought in as this is now the only position I feel we lack options.

Aye you could argue Shinnie for Whittaker but little else.

He looked pretty decent from the few touches he had I thought manc

I fucking love Adam Rooney

You seem to be forgetting our shocking alba record manc.....

Interesting article on culjak http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/scouting-report--lucas-uljak/

The wide positions are reasonably covered, Pawlett can play either side (a position he is better suited to then behind the striker IMO) and Wright has impressed when he has appeared but is unproven. Going to be interesting to see how parker will be deployed, if at all. Monakana didn't really get much game time and no starts if memory serves. Thing is the past year or so have been pretty kind to us injury wise in the forward areas. With Rooney Hayes and Mcginn playing virtually every game loans and youths like smith and shankland have not had a look in. Still it would appear Deek has been watching him a while so maybe he will have an impact but it's hard to get overly excited about this deal when it's so short and when you know so little about him.

Great result :-)

Whilst I don't think it's ever going to be an easy job the number of leaders in the squad has really helped his transition into the role imo

Turns out Arnie now plays for Malmo, all the more reason to root for them

Anyone have a international red tv account? If so could you pm me pls?
