He's very good when the midfield in front does it's job. As part of a back five, he should have licence to get forward and have the expectation that someone will cover in behind, either in the shape of Devlin, or one of the midfielders, or Rubezic stepping across if numbers permit. In the games where we've been set up like a serious football team, rather than some weird Robson conceptual project, he's generally held his position well and dominated his opponent.

Aye, Gartenmann is probably our best cb to my eye.  

Kjaer was captain for a while if memory serves Rico

In talks to make Gartenmann a permanent deal allegedly 

That would be great business

Know huns who still blindly say that he was never good enough for them and glad they didn't try to sign him when he was set to leave us.

Don't know which is the worse trait, blind faith or utter stupidity.

All just because he didn't crawl over the broken glass they would have liked him to do to return to the Tribute Act.

I always liked Ferguson from the day he first pulled on our shirt. A shining example of how to apply yourself as a youngster in this game and delighted to see him prospering the way he is.

He is extremely unlucky for the national team and at pretty much any other place in time would have 40 odd caps under his belt. 

Aye liked him straight away then  the overhead kick against Burnley made me love him. 

Really hope he doesn't go to fucking Juve though. Aside from personal distaste due to my Italian club leanings they are not much fun to watch.  I would much rather he went to Milan whom are also apparently interested, they are loads of fun to watch. 

Defo don't want Van Veen.  Seen that movie too many times, one good season does not make an ageing striker worth a big contract. 

Past few games that Morris has come on in he hasn't been awful by any stretch, he also seems to be the only wide player we have that consistently goes for the by-line and I would play him over Vinny at the moment 2bh.  Vinny is an odd player, it's really hard to say what his best position is.  I would say he is better in the center than out wide, he's not exactly rapid and he couldn't skin a potato. 

The Duk to young boys rumour is interesting.  Benefica have 50% of any fee and he's only got 18 months left.  If we got 1.5 mill for him (as in a 3 mill fee) I would see that as pretty decent business but I wouldn't be disappointed if we kept him either though. Swiss league doesn't seem a huge step up but he will get a shot at CL football most likely so he would probably want to go. 

Rhys Williams loan ended confirmed by the club to no shock to anyone.  Hopefully Dadia will be off the books soon too.  

Lot of positives to take from today, County actually tried to play in spells and I thought we held them at arms length fairly well when they did. I also thought we moved the ball on the deck pretty well in spells as well and that was when we looked our best. 

Overall I would say everyone had a good game, particular stand outs were Barron, Miovski, Mcgrath and Shinnie.  I think Ruby started over Jensen to deal with the physical presence of White and on that note I suspect Polvara was shoe horned in on the right over Morris for his size too.  He did well though.   

A good pressure reliever for Robson and the end to a hectic schedule.  He has mentioned a few times he's not had a lot of time on the training pitch with a lot of the new additions due to schedule.  He's got 16 days with them until we play Clyde now.  

Helen have had a rotten December, 4 points from 18, so we have every right to be expecting a win.  Not sure what to expect team wise either though Robson did say that he was getting 3 days in a row on the training pitch with them for the first time in 4 months.  That could see some tactical changes perhaps but time will tell. 

If we score early I think we could have a fun game, 4-0 dons Miovski, mcgrath, Clarkson and Duk

Last game of the year, and saints are pretty much in free fall. If there was a time to play them, much like well, this is it. Their stuttering form is probably not too dissimilar to ours so this could go either way. Hopefully the weather has calmed down by Saturday too, could do without having to play another game at an inopportune moment.

Our form against them has been patchy at best of late, but we did manage to pump them 3-0 earlier in the year, a rare win for Robson post contract.

2-0 dons, miovski and sokler

3 wins out of 4 in the league this month 2bf and 4 wins out of 6 for December overall.  Patchy at best seems a wee bit harsh 2bh.  

Very confident going into this one, think we will win quite comfortably and I really hope Miovski gets a goal or two given this will probably be his Pittodrie swansong. 

Which means the BBC know what his user name is and monitor his posts on DT?

And why do you need to know my position?

I'm here like everyone - a fan simply posting about their club.

You know fine well it's more difficult for me to answer certain questions. Not because I'm scared of the old firm, but because I'd rather avoid being asked to go on another impartiality training course.

...... why would you posting anonymously on here directly lead to you going on such a course? 

What I find laughable about this is that folks seriously think the tim board will sanction the kind of bid that cormack would need to justify selling to a domestic rival.  For that I think it would need to be a bid approaching 8 figures in size and they will never spend that on a player from another Scottish club. 

Pleased the squad got a wee break 2bh Manc.  Fancy us big time for this and fancy us to end the month well.  A solid win here sets us up nicely to take St mirren and then county.  

3-0 Miovski, Duk and mcgarry

I guess it's a break in terms of exerting themselves for 90 mins. But all the build up and training for the game would've happened as if we are playing. I'm not really qualified to say what the effect of that is. 

Not only that there is no recovery period for the squad so Robson can get them on the training pitch tomorrow  when he wouldn't have been able to prior.   We will defo be fresher come the Motherwell game than we would have been. 

Sympathies to all those that travelled though, that must have been a real sickener.

In the grand scheme of things perhaps it's not the worst luck in the world. I'm pleased the squad is getting a wee break after such a hectic schedule 2bh.  Also this had banana skin written all over it and I'm also pleased it is now a 2024 problem.  Motherwell and Helen at home next then county away.  9 from 9 is highly achievable

Aye that did have ready to move on ring to it.
 

I would say his best bet is back to Europe. English game might be a bit too physical for him. 

My feeling is he will end up in Serie A 2bh and I wouldn't be shocked if it was Bologna again. I'm hoping for about 6 mill + sell on fee but time will tell.  I also doubt he will be here come February 2bh but would be delighted to be proven wrong.  

I really like Polvara.  I noticed pre season he was getting talked up an awful lot by Robson and Hayes.  As such I  watched him closely anytime he got minutes.  Robson was talking him up again in his presser yesterday and I can see him becoming a big player for us as the season progresses.  Polvara was also speaking and he comes across as very switched on and humble.  His ball for Sokler on thursday gets better every time you watch it.

How good was Sokler's goal great finish 

Morris was so delighted after we scored against Hearts 

I can see him with the winning cross on Sunday

Gets better every time you look at it! 

Great win, keeps the momentum going for the final on Sunday. 500k and coefficient points an added bonus

Great cross from one of the worst players ever to play for us. 

Oh fuck off, dyron Dall and Dave bus ring a bell? 

See Cuntwell didn't travel with the hun squad to seville for personal matters.... 

Reeks of he's had a falling out with the manager (who, 2bf, doesn't seem a sufferer of fools).  Fingers crossed for a blood bath in seville tonight to decimate their squad further

Venue confirmed for Netherlands friendly. 
 

 

Hopefully it won't just be the prossies getting pumped by Scots 

Amazingly Cifuentes red card has been upheld at appeal.  No extra game suspension though 

We need a Def midfielder as a priority. 

As for Miovski there is no danger cormack would deal with the tims unless they offer silly money.  I suspect Bojan has higher ambitions than staying on Scotland as well
