Big game this weekend, and a big test for the team. There were signs of positivity in the second half against Motherwell, but hard to know how much was them easing off rather than us stepping up. I'd like to hope more the latter but we'll never know. Will be interesting to see if Tobers makes an appearance, given he's just signed and hasn't played meaningful minutes since early December and has just arrived. Will we see Polvara return into CB again? It might be the right sort of team to gee the team up and get them to turn their form around. One with a bit of bite and supporters behind the team. Out Bed Shite kick off time again so Bed Work 1-1 - Clarkson

And confirmed! https://www.afc.co.uk/2025/01/08/latvia-captain-makes-move-to-the-dons/

Would appear Tobers is on his way, posted a goodbye message to his current clubs' fans on Instagram.

Was gonna say i've seen $800k posted online, but regardless, no fucking about and happy with that. Please don't be pish Will he be eligible for the game at the weekend?

That’s him announced, welcome aboard the good ship!

Belated happy birthday, hope you still managed to have a good day regardless!

Fuck me, this waking up to a loss every single time is a fucking downer to start a day even my boys were asking why I was grumpy. We need to build around our own players, not ones that are halfway out the door.

Given his form, I’d happily see McGrath go. Hopefully we get a fee of sorts? We need to build around players that are staying and focused.

A four year deal for him is pretty wild

Guess it’s a cost thing. I presume they would have done the sums to see how many people actually turn up but you’d have thought someone on min wage would be easily offset?

Games coming thick and fast so not much time to dwell on things. Conditions won’t be much better down there, especially on a traditionally shit pitch. Given the run of games ahead of us, we really need to pick something up here to try and have some hope of confidence. Any ideas of how JT could mix things up? Their form is a bit all over the shop, and they even managed to lose to hearts so there is some hope. Would rely on our strike force actually turning up. out - shite kick off time bed hoping for some of this mythical summer to appear 3-0, no dons scorer.

Working on the basis we probably won’t see any significant signings immediately, does he have to change his system to ride this current period? Whilst it’s the same players who started the season, it’s also the same players that started last year. So we know they have shitebaggery in them. I don’t think not qualifying for Europe is an option, isn’t it the last season a decent chunk of cash is guaranteed? haven’t watched the game back yet, but did we look like creating anything? None of the strikers are any good, so was surprised to see Nisbet on the scoresheet, will that be the last time we see him?

Sakes. Arabs 2-1 up. What a shite start to the year.

Curse this PC world we find ourselves in

Great statement from the club, although doesn’t state when we get the money. https://www.afc.co.uk/2025/01/01/spfl-independent-compensation-tribunal-connor-barron/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0BMQABHfRlqcA_qx3TfpQj4M6cgs4Rcy4e7yZR1QgUo538f9NaQDuZEsdUfenhcA_aem_yNchnlwItmBQXaJfKGfnMw

And to you all, welcome to 2025

I imagine they’ve had some interest so are now keen to sell to actually pay it. Regardless it’ll be in a shit load of instalments.

Type of club he needed to start off with.

Setting this up before I forget due to hopefully being hungover. Absolutely a must win game this one, non negotiable. We’ve a couple of games coming up that may well define whether we’re top 6 or not. Currently we’re still in the battle for 2nd which is epic, but had we been offered the top6 prior to this season, we’d have taken it. We were just spoilt to start with. county won’t be push overs and have shown to have plenty of grit in amongst the team. I’m not sure how we line up due to so many underperforming. I guess the only certain is nilsen being out. just want 3 points please. Start the new year on a high please reds. out bed bed extending a wardrobe most probably. 2-1 dons, sokler and Clarkson

Shame about Carter, was a proper president and go Mr fucked over by the GOP did he not?

The “big blue” as it’s known (they love their derbies in the a league) usually delivers. Need victory to start stepping up though, there is a real danger that Auckland are going to win at the first time of asking

Isn’t divert suspended for the next game anyway? But agree, would like to see him given a rest, he must be gassed after playing through summer and probably a good sight more games than we all expected. edit, I see Dan said the same

Aye, they were the better side which makes me sick saying that. Absolute piss poor defending again for their winner; but they were the only team that really wanted it. Thought Duk did well when he came on and our performance overall was better than recent weeks, but that was a very low bar. Jimmy has a lot of thinking to do over the next month, and it needs to yield results. also, Beaton needs to be dealt with. Cretin. But let’s not allow that to excuse our performance and the result.

McGrath should have buried his chance. Best of the game by far. Very finely poised

How they didn’t score there is beyond me. Great save from mitov. Under a bit of pressure since the subs.
