  1. Fair enough. Though not sure what I'm supposed to do with this now:
  2. Robson is safe as long as Cormack hasn't cried on the radio yet.
  3. The Dons board know that his achievements so far are above par for modern day Aberdeen and they are rightly giving him time.
  4. The novelty for United is the occasional season in the big league.
  5. Probably comes down to whose hands those four games are in. Obviously the rest of the league is hoping Robson gets to continue, which on your current PPG leaves you on about 23-24 points. The game yesterday showed what a knife edge we play our football on, and shows why our form has been so poor. The stakes are high when you're happy giving possession away: when you do have the ball, your passes have to count and you have to be clinical. Recently we've been gash in possession, passes and crosses have been poor and movement has been a bit shit. Yesterday, all of those were better and it made the world of difference. When we get those things right, we're still a very competitive side at this level. When we get them wrong, we can get papped 4-0 by Dundee. Can only hope Ayunga takes a boost from his goal, that we can add some depth/options in the middle of the park, (ie replace Baccus), and that Elvis turns out to be the real deal.
  6. Also don't recall any Livi fans saying 'I wish we were getting relegated' while they were finishing top six.
  7. Tbf, some jobbies never get anywhere near the surface.
  8. I was in the ground for that one. Utterly ridiculous. Even worse (for me) was the fact that I'd not updated my postal address on the Saints online ticket portal at the time, and had to go to collect my match ticket from my ex's house. Fucking hell she hated me Go through that to see Skacel ripping the piss. Didn't need it.
  9. That was a fucking wild game. It was awful but entertaining. Motherwell edged it, I feel, certainly in terms of clear chances created. But if you miss a penalty (which should have been retaken for encroachment but I think the ref had long since given up on enforcing any of the major rules) then you've only got yourselves to blame. Biereth is a player; the battle between him and Gogic was decent. I suspect Biereth is still lacking fitness as Gogic noticeably got on top in the final 15.
  10. Honestly seeing Mugabi getting away with two absolute stonewall yellows has given me an aneurysm. Ridiculous. Zdravkovski can go f**k himself as well, the p***k. This game is making me incredibly anxious. I think it's because every player on the park is a split second away from a huge error. Could go any direction, and that's just the ball.
  11. I'm still dreading Tanser and his agent agitating for a move south of the border on bigger wages two summers ago.
  12. Think we've been alright tbh. We created some decent chances against St Johnstone, didn't take them, and paid massively. Hope this isn't following the same pattern. Jonah and Stav together is looking like a combo with potential.
  13. I didn't want facts to get in the way of my little joke.
  14. This game will be turgid. Could go either way, but I'd put St Johnstone as slight favourites. I hope there is a stream, and that there isn't a stream, in equal measure.
  15. County certainly edged that last night and missed a couple of big chances prior to the goal. No complaints from me, except to say that the penalty shout looked like a stick-on. But we didn't deserve the win and created absolutely f**k all. The issues causing our slump are clear: Baccus has been in and out the team, O'Hara has been poor and I'd guess is carrying an injury of some sort, and obviously we are missing Strain. But even allowing for that, we barely controlled a ball all night. Seeing Stav come on and actually bring the ball under very quickly and then move it on effectively felt like the sharpest thing we did all night. And it was nothing more than a fleeting moment of competence.
  16. Stewart Gilmour is some guy. Barely been in the door a year at SMISA and already our financials are vastly improved. Fair play.
  17. He's a touch injury prone as well, so the extra stresses exacerbate that. It'll probably hold him back slightly. Real shame.
  18. If that's a genuine question, I'll type out the reasons he was punted. But it's been well covered on here.
  19. Shite, but I'm relatively unworried. We were far from great against Hibs, and worse today. Dundee are decent; far better than I think anyone reasonably expected.
