How tall are you and how high is your shed? Are you going to have enough space to get a power cage in and press a barbell and weights above your head?

What's the significance of the the way "OUt" has been printed?

If accurate. What a load of shit. Rather have had Goodwin at least he has experience managing in Scotland and appears to be on the way up. As soon as Neil became available, the board should have gone all out to get him. If we end up, within 48 hours of him getting the dunt from Preston, employing the original rumoured, unproven and inexperienced "team" (with Atlanta connections) I think a large section of the support will walk away for a period of time. Could end up being a very damaging decision.

Should be extended ban for Roofe for violent conduct. He straightens his leg as he makes contact. Bilbo Baggins, or whatever the other red card lads name is, could have been a straight red for second challenge but second yellow so fair enough. Goldson should have had a card probably red, for his petulant stamp and kick. Prague boy should have had a red if his comment was racist and should now receive a long ban too. Whoever gave him a shoeing in the tunnel, however deserved, should also now be charged with assault by Police Scotland and receive a red card and subsequent ban. As for the righteousness of the huns. UEFA should tell them to be quiet, their continuous statements may interfere with any investigation. They also need to issue a reminder to the club of their fans previous conduct in relation to race issues. Sanctimoious cunts.

Fuck the huns.

Nah I was thinking of Aitken. He was supposed to have undermined Miller, if I remember correctly. Turned some players against him then went to the board.

Like another former celtic midfielder in an assistant role at Aberdeen?

Regardless of any perceived success (two seasons with Norwich in reality), this is a man who played for the tims, allegedly supported the huns, and believes the new club should not have been "relegated". It's a no from me.

I think it'll be Goodwin. Based on nothing more than St Mirren giving him a new contract, when the "McInnes out" stuff started 6/7 weeks ago and the Chairman making some comment about it in the papers today. Wouldn't surprise me if we had made tentative enquiries in Jan/early Feb. Probably the best out of a poor lot of possibilities. Agree with Rico that we need to overhaul the whole set up with a DoF or Sporting Director, coaching staff that are employed regardless of manager/head coach etc.

Tri-opoly? Not sure if hun? Don't think this is like the Calderwood situation at all. McInnes has been backed financially far more than Calderwood was. Calderwood was always likely to take points/beat the tims or original huns. Albeit lose to St Mirren 0-3 the next week. McInnes has been "more successful" because he is more cautious, rigid formations, and better players. I'd go as far to say Calderwood would have had us gubbing teams with this squad, just picture it, Ash Taylor up front, Logan as a man marking CDM, McKenna at Peterhead... You say 3 points off third I say 19 points off the worst tim side since the 80's. He should have gone after the 2017 cup final, or at the very least the end of the following season after beating the new huns to second. I think he would have gone to the huns when they came in for him if they hadn't been such a dishonest financial basket case. That was the point when the relationship turned sour and also the point he seems to have become dis-interested. Poor transfer planning leading to poor signings, poorly planned game tactics, general lack of drive and enthusiasm for the job.

Exactly it’s not a competition. It’s just a commercial vehicle for the status quo. Said for years we news to take a leaf from the Americans socialist sport leagues, it’s the only way Scotland will ever be competitive again.

The complicit media, for me, is the most disgusting thing. We’ve known for decades that the folk involved in those clubs and the governance of the game in Scotland are more corrupt than anything else in World football. Everyone knows Rangers went into admin and were eventually liquidated, everyone knows the assets were sold. Everyone knows the league membership was transferred to a new club. The media reported it accurately at the time. Now it’s same club myth at every opportunity. Quite happy to acknowledge they are a new club established to replace the liquidated one and to that end are some form of continuation. I can also acknowledge their first title. Only took about £150 million in loans converted to equity to achieve it. Which further highlights the corruption. First thing the SPFL should have implemented is FFP, but knew the new huns would need that advantage. I assume their hope was they’d win a cup from the lower divisions. Have to agree with you, totally scunnered with Scottish fitba. Back to how I felt at end of 00’s early 10’s, it’ll become a secondary consideration again. Scottish football will be back in the doldrums, there will be a significant drop in crowds when fans at eventually allowed back. I’ll probably move back home in the next 10 years but it’ll likely be Highland League where I spend money when I do. The cessation of the huns existence was a HUGE missed opportunity in the governance of the game.

Seen on Twitter the huns are having a super-spreader event outside ibrox (maybe one of them will have brought the deeds as well as an infectious disease) for winning their first ever title and the first ever Scottish Premiership training league. Fuck knows why they think it’s called the 55 title, like? Even if covid wipes half of them out it won’t increase the groups average IQ, thick cunts.

Unsure how more clear I could have been? My first post states “a bit of policy regarding public interaction with opposition players accounts”. I have subsequently taken some of your points on board and clarified that with “things that are clearly club marketing posts”. No mention of only rangers players. So let me clarify further by saying competitor (i.e. playing in the same league) player accounts and/or actual competitor club accounts and certainly those that are clearly marketing posts. A good employer backs up good policy with good training. So “punishment” might be additional media training. I’ve had to do it with employees who have posted things that may seem normal or harmless to you or me but then “friended” customers who took offence. So training was on limiting who can see your posts, considering whether “friending” customers was a good idea and within company policy (its not). In this instance the huns clearly requested that he post it and it clearly bothered our fans. In any industry it’s not wise to piss off you customers particularly at a point in time when fan/customer engagement is already strained. Like it or not footballers are public figures and as employees are part of that clubs brand. It’s easy to pass social media off as for kids or people reacting too it as childish, but the fact is it does bother people and the public do take note of things. The huns obviously realise the power of it and as such have someone writing posts for their players. I’m sure in this instance the person responsible knew he would have dons fans following his account that would be triggered in the same way they had Jack “announce” his signing. In turn I’m sure that increased the interactions, probably not only for his account but likely the huns official one too. I think they spend a lot of money (they likely don’t have) on social media, so the more interactions the better. Until I blocked them I’d regularly get promoted tweets on my feed. All I’m suggesting is a bit of awareness from our club on maintaining their fan engagement within social media. Just caveating their good luck messages with “except when we play you”, or even a “look better in red”, would have diffused things and kept our fans on-side, but as said there is no reason why they needed to interact at all. Plenty of non public ways to pass on well wishes.

Yet we know some football clubs do control players social media content, i.e. tell them what to post, as it’s part of the clubs brand. His post is a prime example of that, unless he’s just immediately turned into the type of complete moron that deliberately adds Union Jacks to his social media posts. Liking a friends post is fine. I think the line is crossed when it’s a rival football clubs marketing pish they’re liking. Most workplaces have a social media policy. It may be dystopian but it’s a now type of dystopia.

I couldn’t give a fuck what folk post, like or comment on, on social media. I certainly don’t worry about it. In this instance I didn’t mention Vyner, Monakana or Watkins as they’re not paid by our club to beat rival teams. Maybe the english rivalry analogies were misplaced. But I don’t remember any of the Aberdeen squad at the time publicly congratulating Judas Robertson on his move? The point is our players are being paid to go onto a pitch and work their arses off to beat our rivals. Not be all matey on social media posts clearly prepared by a rival club. They have mobile phones for those personal messages. I had a quick look on McCrorie’s post from when he signed. Couldn’t see a single hun player congratulating him. You obviously disagree but I think it’s poor social media policy from our club. Even from a non football perspective, I doubt a widely recognised company would be happy if a number of their employees started liking social media posts advertising a widely recognised competitors products.

Do they not have his phone number? Could they not have wished him well in person? It's not as if he's even a prolific social media user, the post is quite clearly a hun club instigated one; "Absolutely over the moon to be joining such a MASSIVE club, it's such an honour" Football is tribal and there are rivalries. I'm sure there are friendships or even familial ties within the game that transcend footballing rivalries, but these are generally private. I'm sure, in part to avoid fan dis-engagement. Could you imagine Roy Keane wishing Paul Ince well on his signing for Liverpool (not that Roy Keane would have ever had Instagram)? or even Carragher liking Owen's Man Utd signing photos? Mind Neville in the tunnel with Schmeichel when he was playing for Citeh, refusing to even shake hands? Then again those guys were/are winners, that is likely the difference. No one is saying don't wish you mate well, maybe just don't do it on a public platform while your mate is wearing a rival's shirt with a caption bigging up how MASSIVE said rivals are.

Was also liked or well wishing comments by Niall McGinn, Greg Leigh, Ryan Hedges, Michael Ruth... Quite clear from the latest rats comment’s that it’s not only your soul you sign away when joining the minks, but your social media accounts too. I’d have thought ryanrat’s reveal post, was club ordered too. That thick cunt didn’t come up with it anyway! Robert Johnson got a better deal with the devil... Perhaps AFC could take a lesson regarding control of players social media. Don’t think they need to write posts for them like the hun are, but maybe a bit of policy regarding public interaction with opposition players accounts. Also don’t think I appreciated what an ugly gormless looking cunt he is/was, probably a good fit in reality.

Beaten too it...

Only time will tell if we are in a better state than we were last week. In the meantime we have something new to look forward too. My favourite bit from last night was the huns, on the McCrorie signing tweet from AFC, claiming that "unlike them our fans are full of hatred". Epidemiologists, really have to look into the possibility there has been a mass psychogenic illness event amongst that lot. Most likely brought on by them LETTING THEIR CLUB DIE.

More fuckin' huns

If Hibs end up getting more for a Scottish player with a half decent, half a training season than we get for an English player with two excellent real seasons, and, we sign anyone related to Colin Hendry, I’ll do what all the fans of rangers did and just go and support a new club. FUCK RIGHT OFF.

Has played for; Bristol City, Cheltenham Town, or both for added bonus points.

Good luck to Cossie. Probably perfectly suited to English Championship, sure he'll do well. Jones going to Sunderland as well as another former McInnes target, Stewart? Their signing for AFC in January 2022 will probably coincide with McGeouch returning from injury for a week. Really excited for that! Imagine if we'd realised the value for our players at any time other than during a pandemic...

Read on Twitter last night it was Nisbet. Could just have been someone heard “Brum in for SPFL striker” and went for him, though.
