Very sad. 

3! Good response to midweek. Wonder if Hartley will get straight back in the side. Dropping Blackman seems to have been the right move, too. Chance to push on and rebuild the goal difference a bit now?

Edit: yas!

Edit: yas again!

For retaliation, apparently. Haven't seen it but on the face of it you expect better from your captain.

Fucking Jeffers?!

New Mogwai vid:

Yeah, it's alright.

 

Bit samey though.

Aye, a week later I've kind of lost interest a bit. Her twitter chat's gash as well.

Best Coast.

 

I picked this LP up the other day. Quite pleasant, albeit a bit tamer than my usual listening. Can hear bits of Camera Obscura, Katie the Pest and Sourpatch.

He doesn't have a cap yet!

Definitely in agreement with Broon and others keen to see him signed.

Stuff I've got through recently includes Jonathan Wilson (Guardian)'s book on the history of tactics, Inverting the Pyramid. Easily my favourite writer when it comes to that aspect of the game. David Conn's The Beautiful Game? was also an interesting read but it's a few years out of date now. Currently hitting Stewart Lee's effort from last year.

What made you pick the Dons? The Sigma Olomouc game can't have been fun for you...

This is probably as good a place as anywhere to post this, which a Celtic fan pointed out to me:

Nice one, Bebo.

Presume this is for the NI game next week? Who is Grant Hanley?

Intriguing. Hope you're right, and that we have some sort of first option in place.

June 2012, Norwich want him out now though so is avaialble on a free transfer.

How come?

Do we know when Smith's contract at Norwich expires? He's got huge potential and I'm sure he'll do a good job for us but it's hard to get too excited if we know it's a relationship with no future.

BBC:

1613: There appears to be some confusion about what time the transfer window shuts in Scotland. Just to clarify: it is 2300 GMT for Scottish Premier League clubs and midnight for those in the Scottish Football League. I have absolutely no idea why.

That's odd, BBC said transfer window closes at midnight in Scotland but in that article RedWeb says 11pm.

Unless that's a hint that the 'new face' is from England, where the window does indeed shut an hour earlier?

STVGrant Grant Russell

Aberdeen boss Craig Brown has just told STV stories about Chris Maguire going out on loan are "absolute rubbish"

Just read that and was coming on to say much the same, doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Horrible stuff. Can't agree with Broon that the formation change wasn't a factor. We looked absolutely shambolic.

Yas, mon!

On a purely selfish basis, I'd much prefer to pay for something like this than Sky.

I think he said Irwin was too much like what we already had, so presumably this kid is a bit different - more creative / attacking in the middle, perhaps?

The BBC piece on this says Steve Kean said he marked Lampard out of the game when they played Chelsea, so I guess he's a Folly replacement until he gets fit.
