buster.

Is that Wee Harry who works at the 32 Red call centre ?

Fair enough I think I saw rumours of the following types of investor:- - Asian - American - Female - Gay - Corporate - Sir Duped and various other individuals

rbr Is Raman Bawbag talking Red Bull ? Or were you drinking copious vodka with your red bull yesterday ?

Going by what has been posted about his time with Liverpool under 18s Gerrard was adapatable re. system.

Yes, some aren't good enough but it's this team that has metaphorically died in recent OF matches but some of the individuals within can do a lot better within a better structure with more quality, confidence and a hungry motivation. First up in June would be to maximise fitness.

Our new manager (from June1st) comes from a club and a support who have done the one thing that constitutes a real fightback against the tabloid you mention.

Bottomline is that we need a management team that can improve players and that starts with many of those who are already there.

The Mail might want to reflect on their own choice of clickbait at such a delicate time for the Ferguson family. Tabloids and their faux concern/indignation.

I thought the new Dutch saying about the footballing past was 'Will we ever see their likes again' and the eternal Scottish answer, 'Naw'.

Tav John McCrorie Docherty Jack Murphy Rossiter Windass Morelos Candeias Then there are some of the youngsters like Middleton, Barjonas, etc.

Who in our team could get a lot fitter and have the scope/age to improve a great deal on what they've shown this season ?

Prior to Murty getting removed from the dug-out, I couldn't see anything but an Aberdeen win. Now that the change has been made in the dug-out and Jimmy Nicholl apparently gets to grips with the fact that Ross McCrorie can play in the midfield, then a possibility of taking something from the game comes into focus. If Bates can solidfy the defence and McCrorie can do likewise in the midfield and give it better balance, then we certainly can take something but will we ? The problem for me is that this team died a death in the last three OF matches and we have a bunch of individuals left who won't be able to win a battle if the opposition are in our faces and want it. So, will Aberdeen be fully up for it and confident ? Recent form says they probably will be but history says don't be so sure. In the 74 SPL/Premiership matches between the teams, they've only won 9 of them. Of the two games left, I think this one is the more probable of a positive result but I'll be surprised if it happens.

Players should be signed for what they do now and improve on, not what they did in the past.

Hope your health improves Compo ! Warnock is the last of a kind and whatever anyone says about him, that is some record.

We'll all be ITK after tomorrows press conference. Until then, I'm out of this thread !

League is nearly done and the Big Six teams have a total positive Goal difference of 244 and counting. The fourteen other clubs ALL have a negative GD.

Whatever TV company were covering the game did their best to highlight the incident with multiple replays. Naismith will probably get a call from the compliance officer this week but maybe he thought "win win situation" as he headed toward the chocolate hardman.

Just a slight slant off topic but my 'International honours' include being sub for Bermuda in a rugby match against a Royal Navy ship that was in port. This was I think 84 or 85, so you may not recall the match

The sheep aren't made of stern stuff so I'd give us a chance of taking something up there but the thing is, our team isn't really a team anymore, they are a collection of indivduals wanting the end of the season to come.

Post-split fixtures thus far have tended to go to form / reflect who has something to play for. We managed to beat negative set-ups from Hearts and Killie that had an end of season feel. We lost heavily on the other side of the city as they had a big carrot dangling. Aberdeen have beaten Hearts and Killie and drawn with Hibs who are also in fight for 2nd place. Hibs have beaten Celtic and Killie and drawn with Aberdeen who are also in fight for 2nd place. ------------- The one notable result was Edinburgh green beating Glasgow green but that wasn't as much of a surprise as it would have been in 'usual circumstances'. Rangers 2 important wins and a predictable defeat with air of no fight when going gets tough Aberdeen and Hibs both 7 points from 9 Hearts and Killie are 0 points from 15 ------------------- Aberdeen v Rangers Hearts v Hibs Hibs v Rangers Celtic v Aberdeen Will we be up for a sustained battle at Aberdeen ? If we aren't, we'll lose. If Hibs need to win that game next Sunday, the sad probability is they will. We have 68 points (67 final total last season) and I'll be surprised if this team add to it.

Good luck Sir Alex

Commercial Dept. need to be quick off the mark on various angles.

Kilmarnock seem to have their main players back and if they are up for it will probably give our defence, with Halliday on the left, something to think about. We need to do likewise to theirs.
