  1. Someone's looked at the Adidas stock of red tops, stuck two badges on it, seemingly doubled the size of the Texo logo, and released it. Wouldve been heaps better if they dropped the Texo logo, gone with the old AFC badge, and relied on shop sales to raise money. It would've sold a good few. And if we win, I reckon we keep wearing it #jinx
  2. That interview with Bosnich is laughable. Reckons Yorke would surpass Fergie's achievements at Aberdeen Can I have some of what he's on?
  3. There's no way in hell it was ever a red in the first place. Yes it was a yellow cos his elbow struck Dunne in the face (although played at normal speed, its actually Dunne's face that struck McRories elbow), but there was no malice whatsoever. McRories elbows were up to balance himself in expectation of a physical challenge. I honestly thought VAR would sort these corrupt fkn refs out, but they've actually made them even worse
  4. Ufuk Talay? (already I see the tabloids having a rare ol'time with that name). Has done a decent job with a very shoestring budget, and in a league where there are always a couple of giants (Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory) and the rest are considered also-rans ... although most of the rest have enjoyed champions status at some point over the past 20 years thanks to salary caps and rules around the number of foreign players in the squad.
  5. Before McRorie's red, it looked like we had set ourselves up as a 5-2-1-2, and reverted to 4-4(3)-2 after the red. I may suspect BR will stick with that original plan, assuming McRorie can play whilst the appeal is ongoing, and hope this formation actually pans out properly against 'Well. A lot of guys were gassed by 80 minutes on Wednesday, so there might be some changes to the lineup. Gorter needs to start, Duk needs benched, would be interesting to see what Markanday can do in the starting lineup - even if it's for the first hour or so.
  6. Definitely a fun fact
  7. And now Gallagher, another journeyman who picked up a decent wage at Pittodrie for doing sweet-fa. Tough night for BR, he only had 4 days to get new guys in and try to turn the mentality of this team around.
  8. Why was he so gash when he played for us? St Mirren players seem to be playing out of pure spite for us. Main having a blinder, and Dunne beign a dick cos we're all celebrating that his mate Stewart is finally offski
  9. BBC had to dig this image out of the archives ....
  10. Oh man. Part1 always has a place in my All Time Top Ten movies. It's the little details that Zemeckis adds in, like the Twin Pines Mall becoming the Lonely Pine Mall after Marty takes a tree out when crashing into 1955. Iconic movies I've never seen? I've never watched The Dark Knight in full, have never seen Seven or any of the Mad Max movies. I saw Inglorious Bastards and The Shining for the first time over the Xmas break
  11. Everyone forgets Polvara. When Ramirez jetted back home, Dante could be seen running on the tarmac with his arms outstretched, shouting "what about me?" On the surface, a significant part of our defence is here on-loan. Under the surface, it's our achilles heel this season and I'm happy to see it completely rebuilt in the summer by whoever gets the job. But Stewart out to MK Dons is cracking news! He's just not good enough for the Scottish Premier - wow, i just caught myself saying that!
  12. Yep, the Daily Ranger is saying Stewart is wanted by MK Dons to help rescue them from relegation - TBH he is League One quality. ScotPrem is arguably above that (probably mid-Championship). But that leaves us short in defence again, we definitely need more defenders - lets see what the final 3 hours of this window brings. Loans ain't an issue either, TBH. If someone can do a job to help rescue our season then that's all we need ... and it also gives the new boss a summer to freshen things up their way without being stuck with a bunch of players signed by a managerless club
  13. YASS, Soapy Joe!
  14. Martindale has pretty much ruled himself out. He would've been one that could've steadied the ship whilst not playing attractive stuff. We need results before we even bother about looking fancy. Wonder if Craig Brown fancies doing another settling job for a few months ... although at 82 years old this job could kill him
  15. Whoever comes in needs to play the players where they naturally belong. Stewart belongs on the training field. Get a 442 or 433 going. Mcrorie, shinnie, ramadani and either Hayes or Kennedy in the middle. Duk and miovski upfront, with Vinny subbing for one of them. Who in defence though? Scales is good when he isn't also carrying Stewart. We urgently need a new CB and a new RB at the very minimum. Can we get them in before 1st Feb? Doubt it
  16. My first post here in a LOOOONG time (Hi peeps)! We cannot go for a novice like Fletcher or Brown. We need an experienced manager who knows how to deal with players who are stuck in a rut. Lambert and Coyle are battler-managers. They won't get us playing attractive football, but they may just stop the rot. Bakke is an interesting name thats popped up, as is Martindale I'm just pissed we took this long to take action. The caretaker only has 3 days to sort that defence out before the window closes, and it urgently needs fixed. Plonking McRorie and Hayes in defence is not the answer, they are needed and more effective further up the field
  17. vipbox.tv got recommended to me by a workmate a few weeks ago. Must admit, there aint much I've not been able to find on it sporting-wise
  18. Did I imagine this, or did Scotland beat England in the final game at the old Wembley Stadium? I'm sure I remember Billy Dodds scoring. But it appears to have been completely wiped from the record-books (okay, I can't find it on Google!)
  19. I would laugh at the hibs result, but it screams so loudly of Aberdeen vs Sigma Olomuc. I ain't throwing any stones in our glass house quite yet. We've got a lot of promise for this season ... but am nervous about getting too excited!
  20. n/oot: in Pre match: rum at hame Match: whichever format of match coverage i can find in middle earth Post match: kip Prediction: 2-0 Dons McGinn (is there really gonna be anyone else for us this season??!)
  21. He said: “I’m not retiring now. I still feel young and I’ve plenty to offer.” He needs to sign for Motherwell or St Johnstone first before we'll try and poach him.
  22. This pic got sent to me the day after Wales beat England. Still makes me laugh whenever I see it. Jonathan "numbers" Davies enjoying the moment to the fullest in the company of his guff colleagues:
  23. From what I've seen of Adams, I like him. He loves winds up huns like Butcher (tick one box), he's not afraid to haul a player off the park when they are playing shite (tick another box), he's a young and very hungry coach (tick another couple of boxes).
  24. Deserves a new contract, IMHO. He's nae the fastest ... infact, he's in the running for the slowest thing on two legs. But he's got guts, determination, skill and vision, and chips in with the odd goal now and then.
