  3. They are just another reason why you shouldn't give a fuck about Scotland anymore. Never picked on merit and the fact that child neglecter is even in the squad is all you need to know. He has been shite for the tims.
  4. There are so many stats to back that up. The fact we now concede late goals (75th min plus) and the apparent sheer idiocy of our central defenders would all act as evidence.
  5. Good news about both of them. McKenna looks like he should be ready to step up too
  6. http://www.chonday.com/Videos/bcsotlsn2 Oh dear...
  7. Yeah, it is an absolute surreal achievement since you are a pile of shite. Says more about the managers than it does about you as a player.
  8. Also one at a metro station. Not sure if that's been reported in the UK press yet though. Not good.
  9. I actually think we keep McGinn out wide and put McLean behind Rooney. Also for consi to be there we'd need a very experienced centre half alongside him. Think he's ok, more of a squad player than starting XI. I really hope Shinnie is made captain though. Jack just can't hack it.
  10. Seen this on Stand Free's facebook page and I think it asks an interesting question. I know the season isn't over yet, but to overturn (in all likelihood) a 7 point margin is a tall order. Not saying it can't be done but that celtic result at Killie might be the start of them getting their act together (hopefully not). Given the squad we have, are you happy and of those in the starting XI, who would you keep and who would you bring in squad/ first team. Now i'm not saying I agree with this as I still think McGinn needs to play but this is the graphic they used: I'd probably move towards a 4-5-1 formation as I think Rooney does better by himself with someone "in the hole" behind him. We know McIness always ends pushing Rooney out wide anyway when he has two strikers playing.
  11. Jonny Hayes has been called into the Irish squad https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/aberdeen-fc/jonny-hayes-named-republic-ireland-squad/ No less than he deserves.
  12. I think that pretty much backs up what I've said tlg. Play the players in their best positions and we give ourselves a chance. Hearts can be beaten at home but we need to play to our strengths.
  13. 2-2 in the end. Mixu was getting and giving a fair bit of stick from the Dundee fans. Arabs could and probably should have snatched it.
  14. We really shouldn't be inviting pressure onto our centre halves and keeper. Everyone with any sense would put them under pressure because they have and will make mistakes. Couldn't believe he didn't start with the line up I thought he would. We have the best left back in the country, play him there. The chant goes, that's why we're champions, septic showed us all why they are.
  15. So how do we think we'll line up today? I wouldn't really change it if we don't need to. Hopefully Robson is fit enough for a 60 min spell, his management of all the players is clear to see. All the players seem to thrive under his guidance and even when he's not on the pitch he makes a massive contribution. Brown Logan Taylor Considine Shinnie Jack Robson McGinn Maclean Hayes Church i'd keep Reynolds on the bench, he used to have pace but I don't think he has that anymore.
  16. Was thinking the same last night. He's an absolute scumbag but what does that say about the bill? There was a cunt down here who is mp for Richmond and a patron for a disability charity who voted for the cuts. Needless to say he's not patron anymore. What goes through these arseholes minds
  17. Hadn't realised that the hivees were operating at an 800k loss in the championship. Certainly not playing like a team that wants to get out. I've always liked the way falkirk have played football and seems like Houston is carrying that on. They also always seem to unearth good talent. Ideally it would have been them and hibs up but hey ho. Ooft, that first falkirk goal was an absolute zinger!
  18. Called into the Wales squad today
  19. Please make this happen!
  20. Game on (what a surprise) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35840104
  21. United huffed and puffed but were never going to achieve the 3 goals required after Coutinho's superb equaliser. Sounds like things got a bit "nawty" last night inside Old Trafford too. Both clubs could be fined.
  22. Ha ha I was just reading about him stating it "wasn't fair" them facing us with 1/2 a team and the tims a full first team. I.e. giving an advantage to us over his beloved septic. Prick.
  23. Out Pub watching the rugby As above but hopefully seeing us beat the oirish Hopefully celebrating the above and another dons victory! 2-1 Dons, Considine and Church
  24. If it is, I wouldn't expect us to change our mentality towards the game at all. In fact, I'd want to us to go for the jugular. Would love to see us win 9-0 to wipe the smile off that cunts face. Just 3 points
