Did I say I wasn't happy with it? It is good, but i'm not jumping about over it. It still worries me like hell our strikers still can't score, and we don't exactly have many efforts on goal every game do we? Its a good start, and i'm happy with it, I just don't like how it is being portrayed by the club/papers that they have answered the critics, that will happen next saturday against Killie. That is a the real test. The Ibrox result was great, but there's no use turning up against the hoardes of darkness and failing to against Killie.

Whats your point mini? Yes its a good start to have 5 clean sheets in a row, it doesn't hide the fact that we still do not look like we can score goals. Near enough everyone on here accepted Europe papered over the cracks under Jimmy. No-one is or should be getting excited about 1 point from Stybrox or 5 clean sheets. Its what follows is what more important, against teams like Killie etc...we need wins.

No doubting that, Killie will be the true test. If they can show dynamism in their play they should combat Killie. I don't think we will be able to play the same way as we did against der Hun, but we'll see. Saturday was a good start, lets continue it. I read in the P&J today that that was the first time any Dons team has managed to record 5 continuous shut outs in the league since 1991...

Thats the last thing we need, when is Zander back?

Or, Miller gets a nose bleed from exerting too much energy

Is that true Dandy_Don? If so, what a get out clause for him, because it was a shocking elbow. You can clearly see the intent.

What a ball from fletcher for giggs to set up berbatov. His form this season has been increasingly immense. Much better than last season.

Was suprised by that Bb! How didn't he get a red for that? Good win for wigan and a great loss for les blues

Aye, I'm looking forward to MOTD today

Good win for your barcodes today eh BigAl! Finally found your level

I'd agree with that, but I think it would have been fair to share that with Fyvie (or fivvie as our czech commentator was calling him) and Paton. Their industry, willingness to go past a player and determination was great to see. As I said earlier, encouraged me greatly Keep up the progress. Myself and Sharpie were discussing during the game, I wonder what is going through Maguire's head atm, can he see that they've done more in the handful of games they've contributed than he has over two/three years

Shame we couldn't get a win but after tuesday and the precarious start we had to the season this is a great result. I thought miller was our worst player by a mile. It was so encouraging to see our young players excel and in particular Paton didn't lose confidence after being hit by that thug mcculoch. Well done. I hope they build confidence from this. And well done Mcghee. Tactics were spot on.

Well I would considering it is The Scotsman, which is generally a decent paper. Then again, they're a rubgay paper, but I suppose it shows what they know about football...especially if it is a c/p jobbie.

What a farce. I expected more from them.

Whilst I don't disagree that on current form those two are not worthy of a contract, but surely now the club (probably for the first time) holds all the cards? Players we know that can play better, but for one reason or another are not, their stock is low therefore, the club can claim they are not worth a better deal? I'd rather we sort things out sooner rather than later.

Its the best way andrew. Just go to any british bar towards the end and they'll have the final scores on ssn. Better than watching it come in. Btw if you do try listening to it. Bbc radio won't work outside of the uk so i hope you have red tv!

Yassss. Early pre match optimism. Thats what i like to see come on you reds lets Fuck der hun! Why have a list, any broken hun is a good one Edit: Mark McGhee with a wee dig at the Arabs today on BBC . Saying that the gap between the scum and the rest isn't as big as it once was and saying we're fifth despite the Arabs apparently having a great start to the season. COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read on sky sports that mendes is out for this one

Ooft put that rod away mini! He was far too much of a hot head and wreckless in the challenge to be better than ando. Was he not part of the booze crew anyway? Edit: i remember, when i used to hear Mcguire tackles in the box=penalty.

Totally, but the problem is, due to the lack of investment, the team appears to be going no-where fast and increasingly stale. A bit of investment is what is needed, I don't know where from or how, but it is needed. The team needs some work to it and I really hoped it would happen over summer, but it didn't. I know the club is broke etc....and I don't profess to be a professor of economics or business, but surely we need to ensure that this team is at least capable of meeting its remits (i.e. get to a cup final or at least be competetive in them). Cutting back each season is killing this club.

I think he's got goals for us in games that others wouldn't have scored. That to me means he's worth it alone.

Are they still doing as badly as they had done at the beginning of the season? Wonder if he'll beat off any competition for his place in the team

He (Ifil) certainly came across quite well in that brief interview. There is no doubting that he's shored the defence up and I just hope he continues to do so and enjoys his stybrox experience for the right reason

We live in hope, but i'm sure most hun games are on the web.

Kerr deserves nothing atm, but I would say we need to get Mulgrew on a deal. He is one of the few actually scoring goals, and is dangerous from set pieces. Yes his defending is borderline schoolgirl but maybe pushed up further forward we might reep more rewards from him. Sign him up. I must say, I'm more disappointed with McDonald than Kerr this season. I really thought that he was the man to fill Bazza's shoes, but he's been completely anonymous this season. Showed a lot of promise last season.
