Its like they dug out Calderwoods tombola.

Imagine he did but turned it down to play for Scotland, that would be one way to end the should he get a call up debate. He would be a national hero

Really looking forward to this one...... but not because of the game. Got a new car last week and driving the a96 from Inverness is going to be loads more fun now than it was with the 1.2ltr 17yo polo I've been getting through with all season. Could take or leave the game 2bh but I may as well go I know Livi's results have been shit but from what I've seen their performances have been competive and they have defo been shafted by VAR a few times. I expect a tough game but I do wonder if Karlsson going is going to be good for morale as he must have been frustrating to play with. 3-1 dons, nisbet hatrick

Re Karlsson, man I remember being over the moon with his signing and really thought he would knock it out of the park. No questioning the talent but he clearly thought he was too cool for school and here we are, glad to have him off the wage bill.

Gary Macdonald was so disinterested he was invisible.

My gut feeling at the moment is it's going to be someone we've not heard of yet.

If true this is fairly depressing

I think there might be something to Mcglynn 2bf but not Robinson. I actually quite like Robinson, I think he usually speaks well and he's certainly a good manager at this level. His players clearly love playing for him and it's fair to say he's managed to get a tune out of players we couldn't in Phillips and Richardson, Phillips in particular. Right now though he doesn't seem a good fit for me because it would be the first time he would be taking a team that was expected to win most of it's games. He's never done that before, nor have any managers in the Cormack era come to think of it. Even Thelin came from a club that was regarded as punching. Mcglynn on the other hand has done that in league one with aplomb and then taken that team to dominate the league above which is notoriously cuthroat the very next season. The more I think about Mcglynn getting the job the more I warm to it 2bh.

Fingers crossed it's a few months to recover and he's just coming back to his best form as the season ends and he's nice and fresh for the world cup.

This is my feeling too. Lutz is a complete unknown quantity and has clearly given the press absolutely hee haw. If were to offer odds I would give evens on it ending up being a candidate that hasn't even been mentioned anywhere relation to the job.

My first thought when i heard the rumour was he could be good for Nisbet. My aging memory says he was quick, grafted his ass off and was generally a pain in the arse to play against everyone in the league. We all know there is a proper no 9 in Nisbet and Olusanya is the kind of player who could potentially create the space and opportunity he needs. I would be at peace with signing him 2bh (sorry Al)

And no offence to you old friend but you are far too much of an addict to ever give it up and you know it . You saying this is like Jute saying he's not going to go to a game we all know he's going to but he's just not admitted it to himself yet.

I thought Olusanye looked pretty handy at St mirren fwiw

This pleases me. I have no beef with Cameron whatsoever and he will get my full support whilst in a red jersey despite hating the deal that brought him. I would have more time for the loan system if there was no restriction on the player playing against their parent club.

My only issue with Porteous has been his poor disciplinary record, at this level though he's a very good CB and whilst it a big contributor to his poor disciplinary record I do love a nasty bastard centre half.

Where did you hear that re JA prefferring Mcglynn for Hertz?

Due to some unforeseen circumstances I ended up having to go to buy a car in England last minute and missed the game, I also managed to lose my phone inbetween the departure lounge and the gate so only managed to catch the last ten minutes of the game on the radio when I got close enough to enought to the border (just north of manchester I started getting 810 mw in case anyone finds themselves in the same predicament). Glad to get the win, glad to get a home tie in the next round though not an easy one by any stretch. How was the reception for Cameron?

Silver lining for them is they will get plenty of recovery time for virtually every league game between now and the end of the season.

Falkirk 1 up with 5 left of the 90.

I prefer rice crispies myself 2bh

I'm not happy about this but I'll never advocate booing an Aberdeen player, even if he is on loan from them. Ironically, it's just downright hunnish.

Cue benny hill theme music.

I'll say this for Mcglynn. I've been impressed by his teams every time I've watched them. Caught a few games of them in the championship and they were scoring goals for fun. The game at pittodrie I thought they really managed the game well after Devlin was sent off and they deserved their win on the day. He's made them a good team, no question. Would I want him as manager? I honestly don't know but he's worth at least an interview. Can see the benefits, very experienced and knows the league. Team plays well and has managed a very limited budget with aplomb.... Here's the thing through, I could be talking about Davie Martindale with those very same words and his achievement of having livi in the top league as much as he has (trying to playing football too, they're no hatchet merchants livi) is equally, if not more, impressive than what Mcglynn has done at Falkirk. Imo anyway, others are available, but regardless of his past I do think he is a good manager. Also Falkirk are a bigger club and probably had a bigger budget in the championship than livi have ever had in the top league. Am I advocating Martindale for an interview? No, but 2bh only really on the grounds that the support would really struggle to accept him being in the frame for the job let alone getting it. And I get it, he's convicted drug dealer with a really nasal weegie accent but I don't really care about that 2bh. I've got to admit though I really would be interested to see how he would do with a bigger club.

In fairness we nearly got Christie, a permanent deal was in the works and then Tom Rogic got a bad one and they decided to keep him.

It's infuriating! No danger the club don't know this is going to get them a lot of stick and for what? Another attacking midfielder that the jury is out on what their best position is? It really is a ridiculous act of self harm for a player we don't fucking need.
