So, it must be time do the 'how its going to pan out' thread again ? I reckon:

Tues, May 12

Dons 2 Hearts 0

Celtic 3 UTD 1

 

Table

Hearts 54 GD -2

UTD 53 GD +2

Dons 52 GD +3

 

Sat, May 16

Huns 2 Dons 0

Hearts 1 UTD 1

 

Table

Hearts 55 GD -2

UTD 54 GD +2

Dons 52 GD +1

 

Sun, May 24

Dons 3 Hibs 0

Celtic 2 Hearts 1

UTD 2 Huns 2

 

Final table

Dons 55 GD +4

UTD 55 GD +2

Hearts 55 GD -3

 

I think it will end very close but we will sneak 3rd. If the Hearts v UTD game is to end in a winner then hopefully it will be UTD and we get 4th ahead of the Jambos.

Far too much arith-mathematics to comprehend for my tiny little brain-box.

 

It's like watching Scotland attempting to get to the knockout stages of the World Cup.

 

Albeit a shite version of Scotland.

I'll simplify it then.

 

SATURDAY

Hearts beat UTD

We don't get totally horsed by Huns

 

NEXT SUNDAY

We beat Hibs by a few

UTD lose at home to huns

 

DONE AND DUSTED. I appreciate there is very little reason for optimism (Stubo) but you have to also agree that the set of outcomes required is neither complicated  or is it highly improbable. While those circumstances exist I will keep my dander up. COYR.

 

 

I had a dream last night that the Dons went two nil up with Tommy Wright curling the ball in before the Dons couldn't hold on and had to settle for a 2 all draw.

 

I would quite happily take that if offered beforehand!

You'll need to get to the bookies before Saturday!

I'll simplify it then.

get the sneaky suspiscion that we will lose out on goal difference again a la 2004-05

I'm still holding out for third.

 

 

A long overdue win for us at Ibrox, Hearts and Utd draw at Tynecastle.

 

We pump hibs on the last day while the OF take care of the other two.

 

 

Home and dry, dust off the passport, GIRFUY ya dundee minks.

 

 

Easy. 

I'm still holding out for third.

 

As was I until Tuesday night.

 

Now I want us and United to get through, which can only happen if they get 3rd and we take 4th.*

 

Also, it means we'll get an extra round in europe 

 

Where'd I put my passport again?

 

* I think

I've read my post three times now and I'm still struggling to see where I'm trying to be funny about it.  I was merely playing it through to show where I was coming from.

 

But I bow to your superior knowledge of how everything works behind the closed doors of Pittodrie.  Maybe you should tell JC he's an arsehole on a grand, grand scale the next time you're in there snooping around.

 

Personally I'd have thought "hundreds of pounds" was "peanuts" for professional football players so that's why I opted for hard currency rather than monkey feed.  So I find it difficult to imagine a player who wanted to stay at the club, driving himself out of a job over such a trivial amount.  Regardless of who is handling the money.

 

If it's not hundreds then we're £199 or less every month.  I've met Mikey on a number of occasions (friend of a friend) and he's far from being the sharpest tool in the box.  But I'll be fucked if I'm swallowing that.

 

It could all well be true mind you, as I said I'm quite happy to be corrected on this.  Maybe it's just sheer pig headedness that won't let me believe my club is being managed as badly as that.

 

Snooping around?  Cracker.

Say it to JC's face? Didn't you know no-one says anything negative to JC's face? 

 

I also said peanuts a week, not a month. They were basically arguing over £50 a week. Again, just read the words that are on the screen in front of you.

 

EDIT: by all means, you do not have to believe any of this and I can understand your point about a player wanting to stay quibbling over such a small amount of money, but this was more down to receiving parity with his peers, which happens in all sorts of jobs and is in no way exclusive to professional footballers.

Hart should have been on parity with the very top players at the club. Struggled very badly in his position since maybury left (and i'd wager Maybury was on more than Hart was asking for).

Course it is bud, but I've been in that situation and even then when I was pissed off with not getting a fair deal I doubt if I'd have walked over not matching up to £50 a week and doing myself out of a job.

 

Let alone having to move house, city and life over the heads of it.

 

But hey ho.
