I see you get the young player of the month now for scoring a double in one game http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/8025399.stm

Stop agreeing with everyone all the time and shape your own thoughts then. Confidence and self-belief will make you stronger and happier too

I have an elaborate plan designed to provide my support for the team and the lads who pull on the red & white every week but at the same time to show my disaproval of the club management by giving them £0 of my hard earned. I have put this proposal to the club to allow me access to support the team without money changing hands. They are considering it.

The faces of Scotty Brown, Jackie Nakamura et al will be enough to wipe any learnings I suspect. The 'look up-size up midfield-hoof it' policy will be in full force within 10 mins.

His brand of football looks pretty dire. It may be a resource limitation but watching Hearts must be pretty painful at the moment. I suspect he is excellent when it comes to bringing a bit of backbone, discipline and structure to the club set up but he doesn't look like silky soccer is high on his agenda.

I'd be quite happy to see Maguire play up top with Aluko on Saturday as long as the rest of the team are briefed that its not Lee Miller up there and long balls to their heads are not on the menu.

I still see Considine as that 'young player' who should be given a chance. I'm sure someone will tell me he is actually 31 now but I think he has been less of a liability in recent times and should be given the opportunity to settle into a partnership with ZD.

Unfortunately I think this story is actually a sign that Hearts are cleaning up some aspects of their business. These kind of players are representative of a ludicrous episode in their existence and the present manager seems to be weeding out the leeches/deadwood at the club. More reason to worry than laugh I suspect.

I lasted at Tannadice the last time I was there. Think the team did too.

C'mon guys, where's the belief ? If we treat every game in the top 6 split like a cup game then...... ...aye, OK 5th it is

Seve is dead, long live Mark Kerr. Thats all.

Am I correct in thinking that their wages as a %age of turnover is significantly worse than it was before ? Seem to remember it was more like 98% and that looked really fucking bad. Dear fuck it must be time to leap across to laughing at the cunts again. Best part is they are presenting these financials as good news...erm I mean cautious optimism. Nuggets.

Wrong emphasis dude

Good luck with the venture lads. Won't be making it myself but hope it works and the atmosphere is good in the SS. The sooner Pittodrie returns to the SS atmospheres the better, never could get into the RDS.

Except when you are heading into a housing estate in Dunfermline and they point the correct way.

Yes, I travel to Aberdeen very infrequently so it doesn't hit me too hard and above all I just want to see some sort of stadium project get underway some-fucking-where at some-fucking-time!

Yip, read that on BBC. Also, the Dundee clubs have a 'gentlemens agreement' to move fixtures and it was Dundee's turn. Guess what Dundee did? UTD spitting teeth about this and rightly so, its potentially a big pay out gone for them. They are raging that they had to notify the SPL themselves about the fixture clash and have said they will no longer get involved in such disputes to help out. You couldn't make tis shit up.

I'd defo jump 'er

Not only that but they were able to take into account a fun run in Vegas and a rugby match in Edinburgh. How can they not look at the fucking football fixtures for fuck sake. I'm royally fucked off about this.

What a cunt. I was looking forward to a Saturday day trip to Tannadice.

Agreed, our future is all about players proving themselves and moving on to better things but I'd rather it was with young players at the bottom of the curve so we can benefit from their developmental years and cash in on them at their peak. With guys like Seve and Smith we are getting them near the top of the curve and milking them for a while only to lose them for free to a sub-standard side who pay more moneyin wages. Its the only way that JC appears to be able to operate, he is quite good at picking up players who have already done their developing but are stuck in some way. He talks them around and gets a short term gain from them but they are almost always inherently flawed as players for some reason. They also almost always involve a large salary in terms of our pay scale.

Don't disagree with you there, I still think that the limitations we are experiencing in the current market place are very disabling, more than any of us understand or want to accept. Loan deals are all well and good and can be worth the effort in the short term but you are investing in someone else in terms of development. If the work involved and financial committment is low then I don't see the harm in continuing with both routes. Was Touzani a trialist ? I thought Daal looked OK as well, I never really thought we gave him a decent run at it.

Unfortunately its indicative of the pull than Aberdeen FC has in the market place. Most of these guys (Miller, Seve, Smith et al) are at Aberdeen for purely selfish reasons and are never going to come out and wax lyrical about there position at the club. Added to that Calderwood sends similar messages so sets a poor example. Like it or not, Aberdeen is just a stepping stone to something better for these guys, an opportunity to give yourself a foot up to a better financial package. Seve will probably secure a role somewhere for a season and earn a better wage only to end up touring lower league sides in England or bounce back up to Kilmarnock, Hibs or UTD. He'd be better of sticking it out at Pittodrie but who can blame him for seeking a pay out. As you say, it would be nice to here him talk with some enthusiasm or at least some class and perspective.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8004397.stm Certainly a poorer deal. They will come with the old sob story of 'if we don't do this we will go bust and there will be no money'. Over a barrell on this one I suspect. The quickening continues.

Out In the car driving from Derry to Larne ot catch a ferry.
