Willie Miller should have been put out to pasture after describing Jay Emmanuel Thomas as ambling about ‘like a reggae singer.’

Nah, nothing like that. You're not getting me at all.
I mean I can't grasp the total nothingness of it. I cannot comprehend nothing forever. I just can't wrap my mind around it. I'm struggling to explain it, but never existing ever again messes with my head.
You’re just atoms bumping into other atoms and those atoms will continue to bump into other atoms after your death.
Not entirely sure if that’s reassuring or not but there you go.

Mochrie’s three years younger than Chalmers and Glass, bit harsh to be writing the kid off after a handful of cameos.

Leicester have had a 10 million bid rejected for Souttar. What’s our sell on clause, 15%?

There was trouble at a Hearts game a few years ago, I think against United and the police basically told us to increase the segregated area. So the banner is pretty much on police advice.
The square at the bottom is rubbish, but again, is on police advice due to things being thrown between there and section N. It does look absolutely shite.Christmas period game I think. Pished United fan jumps on to the segregated cover, becomes marooned on a sea of suspended polyester before being rescued/huckled by the polis. Was the best part of the evening that, we got pumped.

Sibbald was excellent, but he looked fucked after about 60 minutes. Djoum was excellent, and I actually thought Harkes was very good too.
Yeah agree. Sibbald did take a few knocks but aye he seems unable to last the 90 most weeks.

We’re getting there. I think. Clearly need some reinforcements though. Thought Sibbald was outstanding today. Djoum’s best game too.

I'd rather we kept Behic, however, if we don't, it's been a good bit of business for the club. Free transfer, made a decent amount of money from him being at the World Cup and then no doubt sold for a good fee. If he wants to go, then fair enough, you shouldn't stand in his way.#
Tony Watt is one I'm conflicted about. His goals return hasn't been great and if Fletcher is playing then he is on the bench or being played out of position. And he's no doubt on a lot of money and could potentially be a bit of an issue behind the scenes if you think back to rumours around Jack Ross's departure. But that being said, when he does play at centre forward he can score goals, and so while I wouldn't be upset if he did leave, I would be upset if he left without a suitable replacement already lined up.
Meanwhile, we've all spent the last 5 months demanding we sign another goalkeeper, centre back and get a defensive midfielder in, and yet under Fox, in the last 11 games we have the best defensive record in the league. 11 goals in 11 games compared to 23 goals in 4 games under Jack Ross.
Maybe we don't need those players as desperately as we previously thought?
Agree with all of this. I like Watt too, though he can be frustrating. We’re likely over paying him and the club probably envisaged more goals, though there have been mitigating circumstances. His body language at times means he’s always going to get a bit of stick from our more irascible supporters, reminds me of Andy McLaren a bit in that respect. On a goals/games basis it might make financial sense but would be a huge risk at this stage of the season. Based on track record I’m not particularly reassured Asghar would have a better replacement lined up either, assuming we do.

Let's go back 20 years for us. We are racking up £20million worth of debt. Signing genuinely world class superstars such as Claudio Caniggia, Temuri Ketsbaia, Fabrizio Ravanelli and players that had recently been capped by the likes of Argentina such as Beto Carranza. After realising, a former player most famous for getting a plate of chicken wings smashed off his coupon by Brian Law was an utter disaster, who did we think would be best placed to take us to the next level? Future Real Madrid manager, Bernd Schuster publicly declares interest, but f**k that, Jim Duffy is the man.
Fast forward to the Scot Gardiner era. Club legend and man that had led us to record runs is unceremoniously punted as we struggle as Club 12 in the Rangers banter years. We go to announce John Bomber Brown but chaos ensues and he and Scot Gardiner have to run to safety instead of announcing the appointment due to fan outrage.
And now the Nelms era. Appoints a good manager in Hartley and rightfully gets rid. Who do we appoint? A football commentator with zero experience of management all because he was a club hero. When he doesn't work out, we give it to a former United hero who tries to bring his mate that tried to kill the club previously. When as expected, it all ends in tears, he is on the Tannadice pitch with a United scarf draped round him giving it the fucking big one.
After that, we give it to a player that had just recently retired through injury because he was just at the club.
And then. Mark fucking McGhee.
These are the notable names but some of these don't feature in the top 5 worst we've had over that period which includes absolute frauds like Gordon Chisholm, Alan Kernaghan & Alex Rae.
Finally, I absolutely adore Jocky Scott. He's one of our biggest ever legends but when we have him the job the third time round, he'd been out the game for a good number of years. The other candidates at that time? Derek McInnes, Michael O'Neill & Craig Brown & Billy Davies (who publicly declared their interest).
If anyone is worse than us with managers, then it must be some fucking nightmare.
Was Schuster not linked before Bonetti was appointed, when Jocky Scott was binned? Sure I remember it being in the paper a few days after we lost the last derby that season, 99/00 season?

I must have missed that, when The DABs got more silverware than The Dee?
Won Programme of the Year three years on the bounce in the late ‘90s, which edges us ahead of you.

I did the tango with Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand.
Glastonbury 2010? Saw him wandering about that year. Seen a few down there, Andy Bell from Ride and Bez obviously.
Have met a handful of C-Listers. Ricky Tomlinson was pleasant. Irvine Welsh was a good c**t. Kevin Bridges was sound too though his missus not so much. Also Andy Peters at Disney World in 1991. Probably peaked with that one.

We can but hope!
I thought he would be a great signing but I remember others cautioning us at the time. Might be best for all concerned if he moves on.*
*once he does he’s odds on to score the goal that relegates us the last game of the season.
Aye. Kilmarnock rumoured.

Watt’s body language at the end was terrible. Away down the tunnel on his own while the rest of the players were applauding the fans. Looked similarly nonplussed when we scored the third. Guessing the rumours about him being away in January might have something to them?

Bartley probably steamed in a bit before the full facts were known but the idea he should have apologised for flagging up potential racism was absurd. Was surprised at the time Cosgrove didn’t pull him up about it or at least offer a counter argument.

The most literal movie title since Snakes on a Plane. What a way for Ray Liotta to bow out. Cannot fucking wait to see this.

Use any Levitt money to:
1. Bring in a decent goalie.
2. Bring in a decent defensive midfielder.
3. Bring in a replacement for Levitt (though a loan deal such as his was initially might be a better option).
4. Pay off Ashgar (that’s if he’s due anything following the Lewis Neilson f**k up).
Asghar is embedded with the Ogrens. Regardless of the supporters’ views he’s not going anywhere.

Preston is awful, absolutely the worst thing about the show and he has become even more insufferable since Richard Gordon left.

I’d be willing to place sizeable wager (£5.00) that Middleton will score more goals than May and Clark (not combined) between now and the end of the season.
