Losing to the team at the top of the league is hardly a disaster.

^^ Ha, I was just thinking the AI slop will be going crazy with Nancy.

He’s very memeable (that really should be a word).

The AI stuff scares me though, a seemingly intelligent friend was recently fooled by something mindbogglingly ridiculous because of how genuine it appeared. I couldn’t even take the piss as I was so horrified.

its like a new toy now, will hopefully die a death soon enough

He’s putting in a red counter when there is already patently 4 yellows in a row. The game is over. Sloppy

That's the sort of thing that could appear in a "stuff" thread.

It seems pumping the Jambos isn’t for everyone.

Boca Juniors v Racing Club on premier sports 2 just now if anyone hasn’t sat watching enough football today. Some atmosphere at the game. 

[Jute]

Pretty flat game so far. Neither side creating much in the way of chances. Not sure I am going to stay up for 2nd half. 

[Jute]

Finished 0-1 to Racing meaning Boca finish season trophy less. Second half was bit better.

Didn’t realize Zac Vyner was a team mate of Ross McCrorie at Bristol City. Don’t remember much about him while he was at us, would take McCrorie back in a heartbeat, a shinnie devlin type.

Vyner played in the 2019-20 season. The year we had Greig Leigh too.

He was a decent player, lacking a bit of experience and sure he got injured and returned to Bristol, about half way through the season.

If I remember correctly, he scored a cracker of a goal for us.

I think McCrorie has been linked to EPL clubs, so unlikely he would be back anytime soon. More likely he'd end up back with the zombie outfit.

3-0 at fir park.

Hard to pick which was the best goal of the day. Plus Lewis saved a penalty at 0-0

Cheers for that. Three lovely finishes, especially from Cosgrove.

Oh for a peak Joe Lewis now. He was immense for about 4 seasons. Best keeper in Scotland during that time.

Aye. That game will live long in the memory. Mikey Devlin completing ninety minutes.

 Poor loon. He should have got a testimonial off that back of that. 

A shame it never worked out for him. Looked a real prospect when we first signed him, but had no luck with injuries.

I never rated him. He was a decent defender, but was poor on the ball. Considine was a much better all round player who was still getting underrated by our own support even at that point. Even without injury, I reckon Devlin would have struggled with us. About Ash Taylor level of fitba'r, but withoot the long legs and relative pace (bit harsh, perhaps, Devlin did read the game well, I'd probably put him just below Mark Reynolds who also struggled on the ball).

Just below Mark Reynolds? Havers. Reynolds was head and shoulders above.

First couple of seasons with us he was fantastic. Season we won the cup he should have been capped for Scotland IMO. IIRC he made the PFA team of the year as well as our player of the year. He was never quite the same after his various injuries but for a spell he was bloody outstanding.

I really liked Reynolds, it wasn't a criticism. Devlin was capped for Scotland. In my opinion, neither were as good as Considine, as they both struggled to advance the game as they weren't comfortable footballers (comparatively speaking, of course). Neither liked taking it in difficult positions, and both were very safe defenders in that they would put the ball out of play or punt it long more often than not. I probably shouldn't have said that I didn't rate Devlin, I meant that I didn't rate him in the way I would have Anderson or McKenna (and probably Milne actually). I didn't think he would have gone on to big things but for injury. He reached a good level and that was his level. Similarly Reynolds' peak was the Dons, which is no bad thing.

I know I’m definitely in the minority but I just didn’t get it with considine. Fans favorite, die hard don etc, but he was a liability quite often to me. He was an all or nothing guy, definitely committed to the cause, and had to over commit because of his lack of pace. made so many mistakes. 
he always came across as a really nice guy and sounded(s) quite intelligent, but I always thought he was a very low IQ player who gave away so many unnecessary fouls and penalties. He was a typical low IQ footballer who dove in/got stuck in and tackled/fouled when quite often he didn’t need to and should have been smarter. 
as for reynolds, class. Tobers reminds me of devlin, looks good but maybe not the most mobile/athletic. And injuries.
