On the ropes a bit here. Needed more than a striker for a striker swap.

It’s early December, the club are at least 6 weeks away from identifying last minute panic signings.

This is the worst sentence ever to be written.

Probably wouldn't have made any difference, but can't help wondering. If you're faced with protecting a lead with 10 minutes to go and want to bring on fresh legs to press the opposition and keep them as far from your box as possible, why on earth would you bring on Nilsen ahead of Shinnie? Or choose to keep a broken Polvara on the pitch instead of replacing him with Shinnie at the same time as the other subs? If there's a single person in the squad you want to have charging about the pitch (or even shielding the ball and buying fouls) in those circumstances, it's Shinnie.

Most likely needed to keep teams like Iran and Haiti away from US venues.

He's a bit fortunate that quite a lot of time has passed now so for lots of Dons fans the initial hate has already turned to pity. He'll still be nailed on to score though.

That statement’s a bit desperate sounding and dare I say it, a bit “Trump-y” in places.

That land isn’t going to be worth much, especially if the buyer needs to cover the demolition costs.

I think there’s room to be a bit braver introducing young players to the first team. Dylan Lobban is 20, if we’d given him a chance this time last year, we could have saved over half a million on Jensen. I’d rather give Marshall the 2nd half of the season than sign another midfielder unless we sign someone proven/known like Watson from Killie. Even then I’d still prioritise kicking the tyres on Marshall over hoping Aouchiche produces more to justify a £1.5m price tag.

Is Armstrong drunk?

There’s plenty of it happening with technologies that are easily transferable (e.g. ROVs). Less so on drilling, production equipment, etc. Companies doing subsea construction, inspection, maintenance, etc, are likely to be coping a lot better than the traditional O&G service companies. Although even then everyone is struggling as the wind market is in the toilet also. A lot of the investment in offshore wind comes from oil companies trying to (or appearing to try to) diversify into clean energies but there seems to be a reluctance to invest more if the returns from oil production is drying up or being heavily taxed. Next 6 months are going to be grim for the city.

I think I read Mowbray has been with us since April on a consultancy basis, would be interesting to know how much input he had to our summer signings. I think I also remember reading that the current Head of Recruitment is based in Portugal full time which doesn't seem to be ideal if the only time he spends with JT is on scheduled Teams calls.

I’d take Barnes in our squad I reckon. Starting with the Euro 28 qualifiers. If he’s still interested with no World Cup trip then he should be welcome. Same goes for anyone else with zero caps.

Just send Lovenkrands home FFS

Probably, but this seems to be originating from Scott Burns and seemingly he's our mouthpiece.

Like Lyall Cameron, it probably doesn't go in our favour to have this interest broadcast in the newspapers.

I would say winning at home v Denmark is probably an easier prospect than winning away to any of those Pot 1 teams, except maybe Ukraine.

Red buttons on a white shirt is a bit Ronald McDonald-y.

I hear Truffelos on Regent Quay does the best ones but never tried them.

I’d have Shinnie on the left instead of Jensen. We lose so much momentum from Jensen hesitating and turning onto his right foot.

What the fuck is Thelin doing not bringing on subs?

That’s 4 corners they should have scored from.

We need some fresh legs in midfield.

How many cameras are on him?

That’s as bad as the Warnock experiment.
