Great start. Have we even made it out of our half yet?

Best of luck!

I don't disagree with that, but I don't think its helped when you have a numpty like Christina on the right wing. We'll see though, hopefully it pays off

Im surprised its taken them so long considering its been a problem area for us. Its my preferred position for him, let jack play in the middle.

Happy new year Hope everyone bar tyrant has a suitable hangover.

He won't be playing against Liverpool. My mates who support Oldham think he is honking . Zander, you're a cunt

Read somewhere else that it could be included as part of the aluko gate deal. Obviously I expect that is all a load of pish.

Ooft, united miss the chance to go to after a home defeat to Blackburn!

Either way, if they're going to only get into bed with the huns, it'll stop half their audience watching them.

From BBC gossip. Here's hoping to being optimistic / hopeful

http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20111229/ryan-jack-interview_2212158_2560631 Regarding his new deal. I tell you what, it's incredibly refreshing reading something like that. Shame not more of the players could have a similar trail of thought and comes across as reasonably mature. Certainly overtaken Fyvie and Pawlett as the Dons shining youngster in the past season or two. Keep up the good work

I suspect you'll be right, shame really, especially since he's already up north which is usually half the battle!

Don't get me wrong, I always take everything on that site with a fist full of salt and I guess wasn't really related to the topic intended. I find it ridiculous that it's even a story or one that the club would want being put to press I was impressed with Taoill (sp) when he was at Killie last season, seemed to have that attacking flair we required. But he hasn't really done much at Hearts for one reason or another. We also really need to sign the likes of Arnason / Milsom / Osbourne up on longer term deals. Edit: McMaster just said exactly that.

So with January on the horizon, who would you like to see leave and possibly be brought in as a replacement? I'm hoping we've finally seen the last of Mackie, because i'm yet to see this pace that the commentators still talk about, which was his only "asset". I don't actually think we need another striker because I think Chalali might come good when he gets a run in the team. Certainly impressed me against St. Johnstone. I would also welcome back Maguire, just to get a bit of service to the strikers, especially since he and Vernon seemed to form quite an understanding last season.

Hayes goal against HIVs last night was quite special. Must have gone past 6 players before finishing it well. I know Tlg mentioned he is a fan, but is this someone we should be looking at?

Cheers for the match review. It did sound like we tried to play despite the conditions, just wish we'd managed to knick it in the final few minutes. It really does concern me that we have very few wide players (Pawlett aside) and it doesn't look like this is going to change anytime soon You just know we'll end up with another striker and central midfielder.

From the comments on Facebook and what I heard on the radio, it sounded like we actually played ok in spells. This not the case then? Apart from failing to score obviously, at least it was a clean sheet and we ended the game with 11 men

Aye, you're probably right. http://www.donstalk.co.uk/messageboard/chat/ Sounds like the wind is pretty horrific.

I find myself saying that on a weekly basis. We haven't exactly got a 1st XI brimming with talent but its even more sparce on the bench. I did originally think 4-4-2, but it was Mackie that threw me. Why is this game not on TV? I seem to be able to find a stream for the Hibs-Caley game, but not ours

Just downloaded Gomorrah, anyone else seen it? Three years old, but I finally got round to watching the documentary about the Camorra on my Sky + this afternoon and it was followed by this. Might give it a watch after the football.

Team news: Team: Brown, Foster, Mawene, Considine, Milsom, Vernon, Mackie, Arnason, Fallon, Osbourne, Jack Subs Gonzalez, McArdle, Clark, Robertson, Magennis, Megginson, Grimmer That a 3-4-3 or Mackie included as a "midfielder" too?

thanks for highlighting that
