Died according to the AFC Twitter account. Didn't know much about him. Saw him at Burnley having a good day out that's about it.

Totally agree. However, it's also important to note that our own chairman has said that it racism, or the defence of racism, is completely justifiable if it's one of your own (if one of our players was to racially abuse someone, it would be acceptable - perhaps expected - for our captain to back them). In other words, partisan club loyalties far outweigh any other form of abuse (racial, homophobic, child) or fraud in Scottish football. It would be great to hear some honesty regarding it as you say. The gaslighting kick racism out or knee taking just needs to stop. It portrays the game in an undeserving light.

I just thank god that we've got Sandy Johnson in charge to guide us (+/- 130,000) through these times.

Any coverage on the impartial BBC should state this. It's pathetic that it doesn't.

I predict a goalfest. Maybe 1-0 them. I agree with RT that we'll go for a 4-3-3. I personally think that a 4-2-3-1 is our best bet. However they play three at the back so we might even match up with that, a 3-5-2 would be fine. Our biggest dilemma is midfield at the moment. As a three, Ferguson, McRorie and Campbell are unproductive (McGeouch wouldn't change that either). Useful for games against the scum, but not when we need to draw defenders out. With Brown coming in next season, it makes the dilemma even worse. I don't think we'll win with all three in the midfield.

He doesn't need to. Could just play Kamberi at number 10 in a 4-2-3-1. Alongside two from Ferguson, McRorie or Campbell he'd be fine. In fact, what we need.

He reminds me of Watkins actually. Quite strong, but not really strong. Quite fast but not really fast. Quite skillful, but not really skillful and can score goals, but not that often. I think he'd have been great with Wright and Hedges alongside him, he'd have done the link up play very well. You can see that his workrate has dropped off as he's become more and more isolated and missing chances as his confidence goes completely. I'd give him another go once Hornby is fit again. He's fortunate our choices are slim.

Get the fifth round up min, Jesus. Terrible service. Clear route to the final for the dons. Couple of easy games against livi and forfar

Fantastic game, can't fault a single player today. Well done dons, great result against a top side.

It's on cooncil telly, available to all who pay their TV tax.

I wouldn't think so. That would show a fair bit of mistrust in Sheerin, Simpson and Robson who are still going to be here for his tenure. I'm guessing that he'll have had a decent input into the way they set up and who he thinks would go where, but you'd like to think the current coaching team would be able to overrule that if they think a certain player has been a dick in training all week or whatever.

It does seem to be lacking the director to pull it all together (maybe Atlanta provide that directorship), but good to see us appointing these "best in class" coaches like. A good team around Glass will make a world of difference. I think we need to move on recruiting too. Whilst it's all very good getting guys like Griffiths (for example) cause they're Brown's mates, it will quickly run out of legroom, so something long term before the summer in the scouting department would be great.

Good stuff. I think that we were all concerned about Glass coming in after McInnes, but this guy is a lot tidier than McInnes. I wouldn't say he's hot, but it's a definite improvement. Good stuff, things are looking positive.

This thread should be changed to top four countdown. Only eight more required to move ahead of mckimmie. All things going well, he should get that this season.

I wouldn't bother. The moisture needs somewhere to go. Just get tanalised timber and be done with it. If you don't do it the way Tom suggests, it's best not to bother with it. Wood will happily get wet and dry out again if the moisture runs into the slab (or slabs?). A DPM could result in the water getting trapped. Screwing the timber to the slab a good shout. I'd recommend concrete screws, they're fucking ace.

Yep, it's clearly bollocks. McInnes, who's scouting targets consist of players who've once had a good game against one of his teams, scouted a random Venezuelan fullback, who's valued at twice the amount we've paid for any player this century. It's all very good being "transparent", but when you've got Rob McLean asking pre-filtered questions with absolutely no follow up, it's a complete waste. If it was transparent then you'd have a fan (maybe one of the dons podcast folk) or independent interviewer asking the questions. Don't get me wrong, he doesn't have to do anything, but we're not likely to get answers to anything meaningful.

He didn't want to touch hun-money so threw their suitcase of laundered king fraud cash in the sea.

Missed that part unfortunately. That's the sort of thing you'd hear a Hun trot out. Nobody is questioning whether Brown was right or wrong, because we know that he was wrong, that's not open for debate. We're asking for an apology. If they're convinced of his character then they're convinced he's correct about Logan lying. Because anyone with any character, and so called leader, would have the decency to publicly apologise whilst they hoover up the adulation for hugging a hun. Why isn't he sure? He should be absolutely fucking certain. Did he even ask? Why not just say that he's a good player and we're willing to overlook any dubious history because of that?

Nah, I think it took a while. Our game was suspended by Sturgeon very quickly, but I think it took a good few weeks for the players to be found guilty and they didn't even get a ban.

Elgin's suggestion probably best for something like that, it wouldn't be worth insulating I wouldn't suggest. Make sure it's well secured to the base and put some metal or wooden covering around the outside of the raised base to stop beasties and the wind getting in.

They took ages to decide on the soul 8, didn't they? Given the offence is outside football, and with police involvement, it's probably not as simple as a red card at Hamilton. If anything, given they were all subs, the SPFL would have taken swift action to show hard they can be on sevco (having first received their permission).

Good shout. Saying that, my in-laws neighbour had a chicken shed done in that fashion, had been there for a decade or more, but about ten years ago there was a really strong storm and thing was blown half way across their driveway (about 20m). Took four of us to put it back, we couldn't believe something that size and weight could be moved by the wind in this country. If yer in a built up area, you'd likely be fine though.

Exactly what Tom says. If you're insulating then you need to be doing the roof properly and insulated slab below. Doing the roof properly (warm roof) will likely raise the height and you might be subject to planning (not sure what the rules are to be honest). A garden room is a totally different structure to a shed. Do you need the insulation? Bearing in mind you'll be jumping about like a feel on yer gym equipment, you'll soon warm up. I'd be inclined either to knock it down and start again or fix the slab as per Tom's advice and just put the existing structure back in place and keep the equipment covered to prevent rust.

There's another element to it too though. It should be done the next time he speaks to the press. It's no use waiting until he arrives at the club, it has to be now, because it has to be an apology that goes above and beyond partisan club affiliations. At the moment, Brown's position is that Logan lied about being racially abused. If he makes an apology when he joins, he's saying that Logan didn't lie, but Celtic's handling of the situation was fine (in other words, Celtic is bigger than racism towards an AFC player). In order for his apology to be in anyway credible, he has to call out his current club now and apologise for his part in the overall handling. Anything else is just political whitewash. It'll lead to a player/coach coming here knowing that he's bigger than the club. The fact that the club hasn't mentioned it is classless as fuck. It's exactly the sort of shite we'd expect from the Huns. For anyone unsure about the whole thing, it's the equivalent of someone saying that a girl who has been sexually assaulted by a teammate probably made it up, or probably deserved it. That's the victim blaming offence here. Also, it isn't, and never has been, the responsibility of a captain to justify the actions of his club. If that had been an AFC captain coming the cunt at the time, I'd have been launching my season ticket in Milne's face. He can be excused for making the error of judgement of course, but he's an adult now with ideas of becoming a coach, and needs to apologise for that. If that offends the "club with no affiliation to Celtic boys club" and he's afraid to do that then AFC should take the high ground and tell him to go fuck himself.

I think I'd be telling the club to ram that phrase up their cunts if I was Logan.
