Thanks for sharing Kenny. These are tragic comments. Let's not forget that his start at Dens came immediately after he came on as a sub v. The filth and scored that amazing free kick. And McInnes subbed him off at HT, one of the worst professional insults he could've possibly delivered. And it wasn't merited as he wasn't the worst on the pitch.

If Wright gets dropped it would be a criminal mistake. It would be a failure of management and specifically a failure to understand the importance of the mind in high level performance in sport. Young performers can feel invincible. They're not old enough to be battle-hardened. They've not experienced enough failure yet to have developed mental scarring. Momentum is key for any winning team or individual. Let the kid fly. Give him an opportunity to shine, to show us what he can do. Fill a young talent's head with belief and whatever natural skills they have can't do anything other than show up. Raw abilities get honed over time and marginal gains and improvements come through great coaching, including instilling the right work ethic. But without proper motivation and inspiring them to perform at the levels they might be capable of, it will never happen. Dropping him is the equivalent of telling him you're not ready and you're not good enough. An injustice like that, yet again in his case, is hugely damaging. It's like the manager saying he knows best and as far as McInnes goes, he clearly doesn't.

David Mundell wheeled out in front of the BBC tonight, peddling campaign fear. It was the "overspend" per Scot this time, another fucking lie. Like anyone should listen to a beardie weirdo faggot UK-wide let alone in Scotland? He's got no mates. He's a fucking disgrace of a human. Speaking of lies, the great Spike Lee has a new film coming out on Friday. He sees truth. Do the Right Thing in 1989 is still one of the best films ever made. Hate. K o'ed by Love.

Lewis Logan, Devlin, Considine, Shinnie Ball (has earned another chance), Ferguson McGinn, Wright, GMS May (has earned another chance) First realistic sub possibility; Ross, or perhaps the new rich Man Yoo crock if May's doing fuck all

No no sir. It's ALL about value. I could offer you 4/6 and lay it elsewhere. If it comes in, you and I both win. If it doesn't, you lose but I still win. Punters lose and bookies win EVERY season because of stupidity.

You can't state this without quoting the odds.

Ok that's your view. I thought it was good management. And I whilst I didn't see the gulf in class that he spoke of, there's no doubt that what he sees in training every day will be infinitely better than the home team's performance at Pittodrie that day, thus our 11 struggling like fuck v. their 10 men, saved by a teenager in the 93rd minute, our first and only shot on target the whole game. He was laying down a marker for his team and licking the arse of the huns.

I don't think there's much to debate or anything really to dispute. What the next employer values him at will determine what they offer the selling club as a transfer fee and what they offer the player in wages. The length of contract remaining is the biggest determinant of the transfer fee and whilst of course what he's getting paid currently is a big influence in the offer given, the selling club still as the right to negotiate or just say no without giving reason, if they run the contract down and want to keep him until contract-end.

Aye that bit is hard to swallow... But it would be good for the international value of Scottish football e.g. trying to sell TV rights if the league was more competitive and exciting. Unfortunately we as a club (Milne & McInnes) lack the ambition to try and make it more competitive as we don't even strive to be first. In theory that should mean more money coming into the game for everyone's benefit. The reality is that the corrupt and incompetent administrators favour the OF every single time. The other tragedy of a stronger Sevco is how uppity their knuckle dragging neanderthals get. One fucking balloon hun in our local was in denial last week that the old Rangers went into extinction and tried to quote some date during the Fergus McCann era when Celtic supposedly went the same way (they didn't). And by fuck do they hate Aberdeen, the OF who live in the North East. This cunt was already directly quoting Gerrard and saying that Rangers are "a class above" AFC. I don't see this in the League table yet and whilst this may come to pass in the weeks ahead (and I personally think it will unfortunately), these hun sick cunts can't wait to give us stick.

A footballer is "worth" what he gets paid by his current employer. He is "worth" whatever a buying club and selling club agree as a transfer fee for him. He will then be "worth" what his next employer pays him. There are no rules of thumb or exceptions to these facts of life, other than what is written is any contracts (already agreed between the player and his employer) e.g. sell-ons, transfer fee percentage bonus etc. An asset gets sold at whatever the two parties agree as the consideration, assuming that the asset itself (in the case of selling people) is happy with the terms. Not rocket science.

I fail to see the correlation between what he said about Gerrard and you thinking he "lacks respect" for AFC? I don't even know what you mean by him "lacking respect". McGhee and Strachan aren't stupid. They aren't denying reality. They didn't forget who they played for and where they honours came from. Not that their playing careers are remotely relevant to the comments Strachan made, all of which are 100% correct and indisputable. So what's your problem? Perhaps you need to consider what has happened to sour the relationship between AFC and these two ex-players? Then you'll see that we are not entirely blameless.

Good post. Considering all possibilities is the path to truth and enlightenment. That sounds like a religious mantra but it's just common sense really, not that sense is very common. There's obviously disharmony at the piggery but what is Rodgers up to? After two trebles is he thinking his stock is at its highest and he wants to move on? Does he not think he's capable of winning a third? Is he scared of Gerrard? Is the Liverpool connection in his thinking? Something terrible went on whilst Brenda was at Anfield. The likes of Rush and Dalglish detest the man. Nobody's spoken about the specifics but we do know he ran off with some woman and that her ex committed suicide recently so that might have something to do with it? He's a horrible smug cunt full of his own importance. He can't crack a smile. There's something revealing in his thin lips and that restricted mouth. He's a wrong un. Celtic and Rodgers can GTF.

I can agree to disagree too! He's not shite. Considine is a gutsy footballer who tries his best (one of the few who does) who has been completely mismanaged. He's not the quickest, either in feet nor in mind so he is always going to exposed at LB against a competent right flanker. The fact McInnes shoehorns him into LB is covering up the manager's appalling record of recruiting attacking strength, Shinnie being sacrificed away from his best position. We will never know now but Considine should have been developed as the left half of a Centre Back pairing. He showed his greatest promise whilst as a young loon next to Russell Anderson. He's been a great servant and would have been an even greater one if he had been managed properly.

Easiest draw for OF. Sevco v. Ayr St J v. Celtic Hearts v. Well

How terribly sad. On a number of levels. That video brought tears to my eyes. The expiry of Runrig is unnecessary. There is life in the old dogs. The demand is still there, and it's strong. It's symbolic of the death of the independence for Scotland demand. The band, like the country, is incapable of change and afraid to innovate. It's not prepared to put in the work. They just rehash the same old messages as yesteryear. Ewen McGregor was right. It's shite being Scottish.

You shouldn't say that. A tyrannical poster will slap you down. He already knows Scott isn't good enough. Then again, his imagination, knowledge and intellect is so weak, he just believes in anything McInnes does.

As one of the losers who couldn't give a fuck today, delighted to hear the yoof done good. It is further proof that the arsehole who said they're not good enough is an ignorant nothing. They must be averaging one start in more than a year between them, for every year they've been at AFC. And yet he knows best, fuelled by a little authority, making the angels weep.

I smoked for a third of a century. Haven't had a cigarette since March 2013 and don't miss it at all. I'll never have one ever again. The big difference this time - tried to give up loads of times before including once for six months - is that I'm a non-smoker... in my head. Just a pointless, destructive habit. Still addicted to nicotine unfortunately. Been using the spray every day for 5.43 years.

New Indian tonight. Carron to Mumbai, I think it's called. Friends of ours went last Saturday and raved about it. It's the Art Deco place in Stoney. They've done a fantastic job with the building interior. But we should judge on product and service as well as environment. The starters were awesome. The menu is unique. The wife thought her monkfish was the best curry she's ever had. My lamb was ok. Will give it another go, no doubt after the wife's been there half a dozen times before. If you don't mind trying something different, I recommend. Haven't dined out for Indian more than once this year until twice in the last week. Need Light of Bengal next time to get some sense and sensibility injected within.

Listen up. Listen carefully. If we have a disagreement, can we at least crystallise it? What's your problem? What's my problem? What are we arguing over? And stop ignoring key crucial questions. You've still never bothered to say what Anderson lacks that May & Cosgrove have got. And I have no idea what we are meant to be discussing on this stadium thread?

Well said Rico. Cunts that can't read or think properly are a drag.

Any link? He was a wankstain at Liverpool. He became a bigger wankstain when he ran off with a young lassie. He became the ultimate wankstain when he went to that new club with the same history of disgusting bigotry of the club that used to play there. His failing is in all our interests, not just for AFC but for more humanitarian wankstain-prevention reasons. So we need material. I've seen his comments after Pittodrie but nothing since so any link would be appreciated. Despite his thickness and his patent attempts to ingratiate himself to the great unwashed, I still think his desire to win and his passion will have a positive impact on the new club, particularly if they're throwing money at it (from whence it comes, I do not know) although it's arguable that they could not have been any worse, much like AFC for a period of almost 20 years until McInnes at least stemmed the bleeding.

I wouldn't take Christie. He was shite for his last six months here. Gutless. If they're nowhere near good enough for the team we're trying to overtake, a team we are already ahead of this season, they should not be good enough for us. Call me old-fashioned but how about trying to raise the standards of the footballers we recruit and also get better performances from the ones we have?

Totally agree. We're looking at it with too much nostalgia. He WAS inconsistent, as was Strachan but unlike Strachan, he's not an excellent footballer. After his injury, he's not near good enough for our opposition so he's not good enough for us, particularly given his age. Fuck Hayes. But he's better than GMS.

I never got into them masel but did see them live 20 years ago cos the loon was into them. Good body of work and the imagery in the first video was superbly Scottish. Sad to hear of them "retiring" though. Why do that? If you love what you do, why give up on it? Maybe don't love what they do anymore but why not play a gig 2 or 3 times a year when there's quite obviously a demand - globally - for shit like this? No need to announce a big retirement I would have thought but there may well be personal considerations I'm not aware of.
