I would agree he's unlikely to get bigger than sunderland straight from the dons but considering the state of them he could defo get better.

Have you ever considered supporting Newcastle? you would fit right in.

The one thing that gives me a small glimmer of hope is that Sunderland are a complete basket case of a club. After what happened at Bristol DM is going to a bit wary of going another club in significant debt and a wage bill to be cut. His stock is high and if we win the cup even higher. I suspect he is probably going to leave in the summer but it may well be to another suitor. So given that I suppose we better start thinking of a replacement. I would still go for Tommy Wright. Archibald runs him quite close but I just really like how Wright goes about his business. I've heard negative comments about his footballing style but when you look at what he's working with you have be a bit pragmatic. You could argue given greater resource his tactical choices could be quite different, he also has a very good eye for a player which is going to be need this summer in particular. Lastly his players show the same unity and respect for their manager as ours do for DM. He would be a good fit in short.

Really hope Utd do it, one less plastic pitch in the league would be very welcome. No sympathy for Murray either he was falling over in the last leg too.

Even if he does Leeds could come in for deek instead

Sounds like he's taking a step back from the game for a while at least. Can't say I blame him given the year he's had.

They only reason AOC shouldn't play in midfield is if he is replacing Taylor.

I hope not too but Gary Warren would be a good bit of business imo. Very solid centre half.

He's really embraced the role hasn't he, it's going to be highly amusing watching it all go tit's up for him.

One thing I do like about Tansey is his acumen with shooting from distance. He's more often on than not getting them on target and he's always looking to have a ping. I would be willing to wager he get's at least 5 shot's from outside the box next season. Re Jack I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he ended up at MK Dons with Pawlett.

He would be a good signing but I doubt he would come back up north.

Inverness fan said to me last night he heard a rumour we were after Marley Watkins

3 cop cars showed up which made it a cop for every egg thrown

No worries maybe see you at mordor

Made it, anyone else here yet?

I would be starting Christie all day long in this one. For one it frees up AOC to go into defence and his guile will be hopefully torment hill and Wilson.

The best I can say about Madden getting the gig is that at least it's not Collum. The only ref I have ever seen who I am 100% sure was consistently corrupt in favour of his team was McCurry. I am of the opinion that virtually every referee that has ever taken charge of a football match just want's to get every decision right regardless of what team they follow. If Madden makes a wrong call in our favour, big or small, then it will be down to incompetence not bias.

Say what you like about Stockley but the Celtic cb's really did not like playing against him. Goal one was Taylor being Taylor, he has to go. Goals 2 and 3 had elements of freak about both of them. Logan's clearance could have gone anywhere and 999 times out of 1000 Lewis puts that shot by the post. Rodgers attempt at mind games after was fairly pathetic

League cup final was a Sunday if memory serves, that would defo have an impact on the volume of booze consumed pre-match. Well I would certainly be taking it a bit easier on the sauce if I had to work on monday anyway. This being a Saturday 3 pm will make a big difference on that which will likely to have an impact on the overall atmosphere. Here's hoping anyway.

:laughing: Great post but you're defo a bit of a cunt, the bit in bold made me laugh just as I was taking a mouthful of tea.

A pal of mine went to school with Maloney and she said he was a really smart kid. He's not shy of a few bob and might be keen to work with DM, assuming of course he is still here next season. Getting a player like Maloney in would be great as long as we weren't paying him to much

Oooo, I'm going to this one also. I'll let you know closer to the time of I'll make the rock

To have any hope of winning the cup I really think we have to beat them this friday. If we can manage that then our players get the psychological lift of ending their unbeaten season hopes as well as knowing they can actually win against them. As for celtic? Well there could be no argument that they would be pissed off which would give them an added motivation in the cup final but it would also plant that seed of doubt in their minds that it's still possible to get pipped at the post despite the season they have had. If we win friday i would give us a 1 in 4 chance to win the cup, if we don't it's about 1 in 10 in my eyes.

I've always liked Smith and hope he is given a chance on his return.

No they're not, they are essentially owned by global energy and McGregor runs them as a tax loss. It's a house of cards that will eventually collapse. I've got inside info on that btw.
