  1. Probably too loyal as well. How many jobs did he turn down whilst at Aberdeen? We all know about Sunderland, but there mustve been others
  2. Haven't seen any highlights yet, have only read the Beebs report. One thing that stands out to me, why aren't we rotating the squad? Shouldvr gone with Sokler and Bavidge up front, given Duk and Miovski a rest ahead of Thursday. We have cover in most other areas too, so why does Robbo want to stick with his same usual starting 11 at all costs?
  3. Southampton looking at Miovski as a potential replacement for Che Adams who has moved to Everton. Dons apparently holding out for at least £4M for him, which is well within Southampton's reach. Not sure how I feel about this - £4M is a hell of a lot of money to us, but Miovski is our proven striker. His second half vs Hacken was just top drawer
  4. One of them should grow a Bobby Connor-style tache. Then we can tell the difference
  5. This. Whilst I do give a wee nod in appreciation when Scottish teams notch up a result in European football, I do also give a wee snigger when they get beaten. I really couldn't give two fks for any other team than the Dons - coefficient or not
  6. Richard Jenssen, Finnish international central defender from Gornik Zabrze. Medical apparently done, now just waiting for work permits. He plays on the left, so sounds like our interest in Scales has finnished (sorry, couldn't resist)
  7. People have really been on the fence with this world cup. Some have loved that the women's game is getting such a huge airing and following. Others are bemoaning the lack of quality, likening it to amateur football at best. I've really enjoyed the games I've watched, but one thing really really sticks out. There are very very few international grade goalkeepeers who are capable of saving a shot. I can't figure out if its a genuine lack of talent, or if the ladies simply aren't of a stature that allows them to cover the full face of the goal. In mens football, goalies are predominantly towering lumps. But in the women's game, they regularly seem to be either lacking in height, or flexibility, or both
  8. Didn't see the game, but read a few reports. The one comment that stands out is Robson commenting on Albions decision not to water the pitch, thus reducing our opportunities to run it. I'm sorry, but we are a pro team who until recently used to train at Balgownie. We should be able to adapt our game to different pitch conditions fairly easily. If all it takes to have us struggling is to forget to water the pitch, we are gonna struggle this season away from home
  9. I'd be surprised if Roos moves on soon. His missus Nadine Hanssen only signed for the Dons Women recently. His family are fairly settled here. I'd be happy if he extended his contract. Polvara however.... I'm in the wait & see camp. Yes he's been better so far this season, but he's still below the standard I'd expect. Would he get into our 2014-2017 teams? Cos those teams are the standard I expect
  10. Japan have been technically excellent for some time but have lacked a spark of creativity required to get wins regularly. They found this spark in Miyazawa who is just an exceptional talent.
  11. Huge shame. He brought so many celebs to our living rooms, arguably the guy who introduced us all to Billy Connolly
  12. Are they? COVID set us back a bit, but Dave has said multiple times we don't need to sell. Selling Ramadani to me sounds like a price came in for him that we simply didn't see coming, and was well above our own internal valuation of him. Ramsay and Fergies sales would've somewhat offset our COVID debt, maybe someone closer to our finances can advise whether they are indeed limited
  13. Alex Notman. Was brilliant for the 18 seconds he was here
  14. EE saying we have accepted a £1.1M bid from Lecce for Ramadani. Considering we paid ~£100k for him a year ago, that's not a bad return
  15. He's pretty handy. Plays for Central Coast Mariners who won the A-League this year. The top A-League teams are arguably on a par with the 3rd to 6th placed SPL teams
  16. Good Times, Bad Times - Led Zeppelin

    Yeah I was pleased to see all the old crew posting here after over a decade away. But I was surprised there's nobody new on here regularly. The old girl definitely needs an injection of new blood. I like the AFC and Non-AFC separate forums, but looking at other team forums randomly quite a number of them have all football in one forum. Maybe merge all the non-football forums together as one "Off Topic" forum to begin with?
  18. Facebook morons are going into meltdown, blaming SFA for the Friday night time without being on TV. I'm glad DT is here to keep me sane and tell us how it is
  19. Inside Futbol suggesting Hellas Verona are preparing a bid of €1M for Ramadani, but the player would prefer to move to Lecce despite their offer being less. Hes been a decent player for us over the year, but if he is determined to go then we should only accept the higher offer
  20. Is that the same old venue Meadowbank Thistle used to play at? Thr old commonwealth stadium? Absolute shithole if it is
  21. C'mon Glenafton Athletic
  22. Yeah the caketin and Forsyth Barr Stadium in dunedin are both superb for atmosphere. Eden is good when cricket is being played there, but for some reason it is shit when rugby or football are played there. There's a grand plan to build a new stadium at Aucklands main harbour and then bulldoze Eden Park. But that's gonna be many tears away, cos kiwis are shit at committing to big construction projects
  23. Should be good. If everyone who has bought tickets actually turns up, it'll be the largest attendance at a womens tournament of any sport
  24. Big result for Dumbarton, beating Inverness CT
  25. Saw a photo of him, he's similar build to Scott McKenna
