I really can't see him going to the huns. Hayes said when he signed an extension that he would stay at the club as long as the boss was there. And he's kept this team together for a while, so there is a fair bit of loyalty in the team from both players and management. I also heard a podcast where Graham Spiers was saying that McInnes would take the job as It's a much bigger job than the Dons. Why the fuck would you go from a stable club to a fucking mess that is Servco? Even if the huns got better players in, they are still years, if at all, from challenging Celtic. The deluded huns will not give a manager time to build a team as they think they should be close to matching Celtic now. There is talk of this "war chest" that is just sitting to be spent. What a load of bullshit. I really think that Servco will go bust in the next two to three years.

I just saw that this is on the telly in an hour. I will give it a watch.

Not wanting to high-jack the thread, but this is what a friend of mine woke up to this morning.....

I've only ever put a bet on once. There was a horse called "My kingdom of Fife" running and it was a long shot. My dad was born in Fife, so I put $10 on it. I won $300 when it came in. It was the only time I've ever gone to the pub and come home with more money than I went with. It was a bit of a rush and can see why a lot of people do it. I had enough vices at the time and did not need another one, so that is the one and only time I'll put a bet on.

I worked in the Sugar Cane industry for 8 years and saw fucking loads of them. Amazing animals.... but, no thank you.

Just watched the Brighton v Sheff Wed game. An own goal, a missed penalty and 3 sent off. Not too shabby.

I used to love getting up the hills back home. The hills they have here in Queensland are a decent size, but I find them rather uninspiring. Also, I fucking hate snakes.

If you like WW2 books I recommend "With the Old Breed" by Eugene Sledge. He wrote it while fighting in the pacific. A very honest perspective of the fighting that went on.

Excellent post, Tom. A lot in there that I didn't know.

I have a feeling that it will be a goal from Rooney in the 89th min....... Just a normal cup game for us.....

I had tried the unsubscribing trick before with no luck. But I just used the RSS feed address link and that's done the trick. Keep up the good work, guys. Cheers.

Not sure what to think of this...... http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38628406

Not long found out about By The Min. A good listen, but for some reason, the new podcasts never seem to appear for me anymore. The last one that downloaded to my phone was the cup final one.

Happy New Year from Mackay, Queensland. All the best for the New Year.

Well, that's embarrassing.

Finally started "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. It's been on my list for a while.

Sorry, Al. I just saw your post. I have to say that I really can't get into the A-League. Brisbane Roar are the closest team to me and they are about 600 miles away from me. I really don't find the quality of the fitba all that good as well. Townsville, which is the city up from where I live, used to have a team ( North Queensland Fury ), but they were managed by Ian Ferguson. So there was no way that I was going to follow them....

Ally MacLeod 9 Billy McNeill 2 Alex Ferguson 1 Ian Porterfield 8 Alex Smith and Jocky Scott 3 Willie Miller 7 Roy Aitken 11 Alex Miller 14 Ebbe Skovdahl 10 Steve Paterson 12 Jimmy Calderwood 5 Mark McGhee 13 Craig Brown 6 Derek McInnes 4 I feel sorry for Ian Porterfield. He really was in for a hiding for nothing.

Thank fuck.

Reynolds looks dodgy as fuck.

In/out ~ Out Fuuryboots ~ Watching the game on BeIN Sports. Pre-Match ~ Chewing my fingernails After-Match ~ Going to bed Prediction ~ 1-0 to the Dons. Rooney to score on the 89th min.

Saying goodbye to my mum and dad as I walked on to the plane that was going to take me to Australia was one of the hardest things I ever have done. I really think It was harder for my parents than for myself. I was only 21 at the time, and 22 years later, I'm still in Oz. My dad and my brother told me that I would be lucky to last 6 months....

Cheers for the recommendations. It's not for everyone, but I find it funny as fuck. https://athleticomince.com/ Also..... http://www.missedinhistory.com/ https://player.fm/series/bytheminafc http://mentalpod.com/episodes

I'm sure Jess only coached. You are right in regards Black being a number two when he left for Metz.... I was a devastated 13 year old when I found out he was moving.

I was just thinking about Strachan being manager of Scotland and It got me thinking about ex-Aberdeen players who ended up managers. There must be a fair few of them. Some that come to mind...... Wee Gordon. Willie Miller. Alex McLeish. Mark McGhee. Billy Stark. And who would you say out of any ex-player future manager has had the most success?
