  1. Has there been any chatter? Christ this winter break is as boring as the international break. Can’t say I’ve seen many names banded about. Obviously we’ve signed mcginn which is a massive boost, surely we’ll be bringing in another body or two though?
  2. I see the Huns have signed some guy from qpr called Sean goss (on loan of course)

    Andy Murray

    A lot of the press down here have been writing about whether it is the end of his career. Would be a massive shame.
  4. Really hope we have some sort of percentage on any future fee for him
  5. Frustrating, especially with the dhims dropping points. How’s we play? Only caught the last 20 mins, Jambo’s were as dirty as ever
  6. I think it’ll get chucked. Seeing those naysayers being all joyous will be horrific, thank fuck I’m not there to see it. It would be great if acc updated their development plan for the city to include improved transport links etc...which would have made all of this more palatable. I want the new stadium but the transport still leaves a lot to be desired. Given that the stadium and training facilities are all in the same application, I’d hope that if it gets rejected, the club will seek to ensure only the club and the community trust get to use it in a new application. If they don’t sell the land of course.

  8. Absolutely, but that would depend if we were getting rid of mclean in the summer or in jan. if the summer, I’d be happy with a central mid signed to allow shinnie back. But I get your point re this game. Suppose in previous games (this season aside) we had jack fulfilling that role. I hope consi is fit. Rather him than Reynolds play imo. Flag day this Saturday too, club looking to confiscate a few are they?
  9. In particular the here comes trouble tune. Saw it live back in London, great summer tunes
  10. Think this is key. Rooney hasn't been great this season but the service has been the worst it ever has been (in this team) so it's hardly surprising given that balls like the one Christie set him up with have been lacking. I'd like to hope that McGinn will allow us to make the most of both strikers' attributes. Might be the type of player to help May get a bit of a run going.
  11. I disagree, we need Shinnie to be able to play at Left Back, he gets booked far too often in the middle of the park. I love his passion but a booked Shinnie just doesn't provide the same level of tenacity. We need to find a midfielder that will provide us with his drive though, which is sort of what you're saying. Doesn't Reynolds get absolutely bullied by Hearts? I'm sure that happened last season?
  12. Last game before the winter break, hopefully get a great crowd for this one. Decent record against them and I’d imagine they’ll set up similarly to Partick and try to frustrate us except they’ll be better on the break. Think Stewart more then deserves to keep his place, as did gms. Has there been any news on consi? Hopefully none of those that appeared to struggle towards the end have anything serious Lewis Logan arnie McKenna Shinnie Aoc Stewart McLean christie gms Rooney
  13. How come though? He’s a free agent? Great news though! Lovely wee belated Christmas present! Shows intent from both mcginn and DM
  14. Was his own fault anyway, shouldn’t have pulled out of a 50/50....
  15. That’s a mental appointment. Reading the comments on HYS it’s quite clear a lot of folk are pissed off with Jenkins selling up to some yanks. Lost the soul of the club and haven’t reinvested what they’ve made. Meanwhile Cardiff fans are pishing themselves. Usually makes for a good read

    Films

    Watched I, tonya last night. Can’t remember if I remember it at the time or not, but a great film which is all true. Worth a watch, very well shot.
  17. Feel for Hayes as despite him going there, did everything he could to help us and the fans out. Certainly don’t wish him any ill will but he’ll be well looked after by then. Certainly rules out a loan away from Celtic park though. Not that they’ll be short of cash with van Dijk getting them a cool £7.5 m
  18. Hopefully it’s a long term injury
  19. Good chat guys Hard fought victory, a lot tighter than I thought it would be and not that many chances created. Some good play from gms / consi in the first half but failed to take it through to the second. Hopefully consi is ok, storey ran into him and managed to get a free kick out of it. Rooney was unlucky to have his goal ruled out for a high foot (no red tv reply so need to see it again) but was in the right place at the right time after some excellent play from christie. Stewart was probably worthy of his motm too. Still a wins a win in what looked like a Baltic pittodrie. Especially with the hunnery getting a win at home
  20. Get yourselves into the chat room guys Http://chat.donstalk.co.uk/example/default.html
  21. Will pop my head into the chat ??

    Films

    Watched mark felt yesterday. Cracking film about the uncovering of the corruption of the White House during the Nixon era. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? I’m sure it’s a film that’ll have that orange buffoon sweating. The fbi are coming for you.
  23. Never get this, they’re his players for the most part too. Porto aside, seems to be a money man. Lingard is having a decent season though, good to see.
  24. Haha lay off the sherry mate
  25. After the predictable disappointment of the game against the dhimmery and the coveninent result at stybrox (again proof that others are helping the league be more competitive than we are), we need a win. I expect us to win this one as the jags are truly awful this season, despite a few freak results. Play like we can and we have nothing to fear. Are our injury concerns supposed to have eased by then? At least we’ll have christie back. Out Bed Hopefully watching on redtv Dog sitting 2-0 dons, Rooney and shinnie
