The All New Unworthy Of It's Own Thread AFC General STUFF Thread

[BigAl]

 Woke up this morning to the deletion of the original general thread, so here's an all new one.

Lob your general AFC stuff in here folks instead 

 

[TheDonbytheDee]

So, back to the Brewdog link up with AFC...

 

[RicoS321]

What are everyone's thoughts about the problem of left back? Obviously I don't want to start a new thread, or include in the threads assigned to other left backs, or the squad in general. I specifically mean just left back, but it's probably not worthy of its own thread, so I thought it would be best to mix it in amongst the thread for stuff, because it's such a good catch all. Of course, it doesn't relate to brewdog, or alcohol at the football in general, but if we have it interspersed with those discussions it will be really helpful and easy to follow.

[RicoS321]

I don't mind a few of the brewdog beers, but it's clear that the guys - or at least one of them - running the company are dicks.

[RicoS321]

I'm not really sure what the purpose of having a test run of alcohol sales in one stand is? It seems like a good idea, but if we haven't got the ability to stretch to the other stands then it seems a little short sighted.

[RicoS321]

I think we should define whether we're sticking with a back five permanently or not, because the difference between a guy that can play left back, and a wing back is quite significant.

[RicoS321]

What are everyone's thoughts on the paintwork in the south stand? I think it needs re-done.

[RicoS321]

I don't want to talk about VAR specifically, so I'm including here. Does anyone have an idea of the boundaries of "clear and obvious" in a general sense?

[Elgindon]

Am off to try a Truffalos buttery.Put it in here since theres nae a Truffalos thread,and its a pretty important issue to AFC fans...

I am a bit of a beer snob (wanker?) and have always found Punk to be one of the most piss poor, unhoppy, flavourless IPAs out there. They do some decent ones - Dead Pony, 5AM Saint, Mr President (not for the faint hearted), but their marketing is definitely better than their beer.

I am glad they are being found out now - along with their poor craft beer efforts and the arsehole(s) in charge, their slip from top of the beer chain is very pleasing to see.

Which makes me very baffled by our new partnership with them. Whilst supermarkets across the country are ditching them, bars are closing, and workplace bullying has been rife - why are we now choosing to partner up with them!

I am right in thinking it's the spirits side of the business we are going with rather than the beer? Surely there are better local options to associate with?

It's a bit like Spurs and Beavertown, but on a smaller scale, and nothing like it at all really. Beavertown have nearly equally uninspiring beers (but ones I would be more willing to buy in the pub) backed by great marketing. The bonus they have is they were not set up by a c**t - and they didn't cut their noses of to spite their faces when the benefit of money from Heineken came along.

Did you know they were founded by Robert Plant's son. I never knew until quite recently.

Our Commerical Director Robbie Hedderman, is leaving the role.

Worthy news for this thread...

I'm confused. Because of the beer?

No, because the posts relating to the Brewdog link up were moved from the original 'club stuff' thread to a specific Brewdog thread.

Felt his position had become untenable.

 

[Jute2]

Going to be CEO of Shamrock Rovers in Irish league. 
 

Access to Guinness and not having to drink Brewdog or Fierce clearly the deciding factor.

[Slim]

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

I would actually like to see us stop being so committed to one formation.  The Motherwell game is a great example, I would have been seriously tempted to change to a back 4 after 70 mins as we looked massively out of ideas and I didn't think it was just fatigue.

Me too. Now that Hedderman has left, and the lads at Brewdog are on board, I'd like to see us trial a back four during the upcoming Kilmarnock game.

This is a great thread as saves me looking to see if we had one before about the financial performance of club. 

[Kowalski]

Presumably if this thread is focussed on AFC-related non-footballing matters we can just merge the Peter Ambrose thread into it?
