That's his tally at 4 for them is it not? Has he even scored that many for us? I always liked him, hopefully the loan spell does him the world of good.

Sounds like we passed up a shite load of chances? Really need to start to taking chances. A wins a win in the cup though

Line up:

I'd generally agree with that, sensible line up. Minus McLean, think we need to see what someone else can offer in that position.

Oh yes, there'll be no way she'll avoid it

She's away in Korea at the mo, needless to say she has a few messages to greet her when she wakes up

A relatively close game for BigAl. DM has said that he will play a side that should be strong enough to win on Wednesday as Ayr are a decent enough side and can (hopefully won't) cause an upset. Could really do with a good cup victory to start the season. Out Work Hopefully listening online Flat 2-1 Dons, Stockley and Storey

Yes, they were commenting about that on the weekend. It's really frustrating! Team GB have been quite representative of being British at the moment, a bit underwhelming. It's pretty much always the case after a home games is it not? Enjoyed what I've seen so far anyway, and Japan beat NZ in the 7's

I know it was the first game of the season, but over 3,000 dons fans there yesterday. That is impressive.

There is a definite focus on British athletes, but you're able to watch live coverage of basically every sport on the BBC red button. I presume it's because the aussies aren't very good anymore Glad to read the cyclist is at least conscious, was surprised at the lack of edge protection, the size of those kerbs Some swim by Peaty too. absolutely smashed it!

Aye, that's what I thought. Who in the right mind would play a jumped up kid ahead of one of the best Midfielders in recent times!?! He and his agents were fannies. Rightly punted.

I always thought he left because he couldn't hack that he wouldn't play ahead of Scholes?

Have they said how she is!?! That was absolutely horrific, never seen a crash like it.

I've been impressed with what I've seen of him, certainly a massive improvement on brown and the other imposters pre and post ward.

From what I've seen of burns (very little in fairness) it seems he's trying too hard to impress. Missed the game today, but sounds like he did all the hard work apart from.the final ball. Have no doubt he'll come good and most importantly, a clean sheet against a team we fair badly against.

Thanks for stepping Jute was out all day yesterday! Think it's quite clear consi and Reynolds doesn't work, so I am really hoping to see o'connor there. Would have. Been nice to see it tested before, but maybe it has been in the closed door feidnlies. Oot Cycling to Brighton Brighton Train back to London 1-1, rooney

Equally stunned that the first club was Oldham, a club who were happy to leave Rooney go In fairness, it's probably better to have a bit of pace and plenty of strength in that league, which is what josher has.

Brilliant news, just what we needed after last nights result

See, I'd actually disagree with most of what he said. It reeks of big headedness and delusions of grandeur due to his likely association. To talk teams down from yes, a smaller league, is condescending but what I would expect from the Scottish football media and management circles. They've clearly no idea. Slovenia, have qualified for major football tournaments, where we have not. Their teams regularly compete in both champions league / Europa League so again, his comments are wide of the mark. We had our own failures this campaign, but his previous article which said our attempts over the past few years in Europe were pathetic is frankly ridiculous. I'd have agreed if he'd said the previous two seasons we'd done some work to change that, but no. The days of Scottish football teams expecting to walk through European qualification went long ago and even England, where they spunk billions on their teams, suffer humiliating defeats. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs their head examined. These countries are catching up. I will agree with this though:

Apparently not, only missed 4 in his career: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-rooney/elfmetertore/spieler/37773/saison_id//wettbewerb_id//plus/1#verschossen

Strikers: Rooney 2 Burns 1 Stockley 1 Midfielders: Hayes 1 McGinn 1 Defenders: Logan 1

The morning after, it still feels shite Massive missed opportunity and seeing the clips of the game again hasn't made it any easier.

Agreed, first leg hindered us massively, but the referee really didn't help things. It's almost like he punished us for missing the penalty. Shame, plenty to be proud of but a very hard result to take. Like to add the team were brilliant tonight. Can't fault anyone and a superb effort. One thing though, i'd have take Kenny off instead of Burns. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though.

Horrific refereeing, terrible miss from rooney and christ was Lewis was unlucky. That referee must have some pay packet at half time.
