well fan for life

After going cold turkey a few years ago I'm back on the hard stuff. That's right. Stardew Valley is back on the menu boys.

Welcome. What's your opinion on pakora?

Heavily abridged here, for the benefit of everyone.

Thelonius takes on the world.

I thought years ago he looked handy but after his knee injury he never looked the same. When he rocked up at Aberdeen he looked rotten and I don't think there's been a big improvement since.

I cannot take any mention of Newcastle seriously in this thread. Unless there's a nominal fee of course.

I am barely even whelmed by yesterday. It's a fair point that one of the real drop offs from last season was going from Johnston/Furlong to SOD/Spencer tying himself in knots to get onto his right foot. So with that in mind it's probably not awful that we've got a few extra options out there. However I don't think it was our biggest problem. Biereth is involved in the majority of our goals scored this season and left on the 18th. Alongside emptying Wilkinson & Shaw it's left us with Bair who has a total of 5 career goals(who I'm also convinced isn't a striker) and a complete unknown quantity in Vale. Obika might surprise us by being fit for a game at some point but I'm not exactly confident. Ketts must be confident that Butcher, Casey & Blaney will improve but as it stands I'd be playing McGinn & SOD as 2/3 of our back 3 from here on out. Who knows if we missed out on a defender. From what we're hearing about missing out on forwards to other teams, and I don't mean the alleged duffel bag full of used bank notes for KVV, it suggests we're skint. I don't think we're struggling to keep the lights on skint, but we're certainly struggling to attract players. Not helped by the last couple of years of bullshit we've been pulling around managerial appointments/sackings, botched stadium renovations and an even more botched attempt to have a CEO I'd imagine.

Poor guy plagued by these flare ups of fitness.

Have 3 wingbacks on either side putting them on a plate for big Thelonius to score 15 before May. Tactical masterstroke imo.

The Thread at lunchtime: vs The Thread now:

If you don't come home with a sack full of cinnamon buns it's a trip wasted.

True but haven't you heard the Killie players are getting paid in blank envelopes stuffed with used bank notes?

Imagine this is legit. I don't think I'll ever stop laughing at how fucking shite we are at everything.

Already feel bad for whatever poor c**t we get on loan from the English doldrums at 2327 tonight. Social media mentions are going to be a bin fire.

It's impressive how little we've done to improve anyone's life recently.

I thought this was widely known.

Always thought he was a bit of a huddy so turning that into a jolly round a class place? You can only say fair play.

Aside from the, slightly tongue in cheek, chat about Ross Tierney being one. There's only one guy who is Das Raumdeuter and he's one of my favourite football players of all time. FM can have you looking for a Mezzala/Enganche/Shadow Striker/Regista but they're all just different flavours of midfielder really. Big Tam Muller is one of a kind. https://thesefootballtimes.co/2017/03/31/thomas-muller-the-first-and-possible-last-ramdeuter/

You're not suggesting...

Nick Daws is currently hanging about the car park at Powerleague seeing if anyone wants a game.

Considering every rumour we've had has wound up elsewhere I can't wait to see what waifs & strays turn up on our doorstep in 36 hours time.

Me rn:

I've nae idea how you'd even track this but we have to be, by some distance, the worst for conceding goals from set pieces. Seems to happen all the bloody time.

Me hearing Nicholson mentioned in this thread:

It's probably down to clubs trying to rely on quantifiable things when signing a player. Signing a player with physical attributes you can mould to what you need rather than ability. Which is a real shame in terms of entertainment. Something satisfying about watching a guy play like he should have a tab on. Berbatov is one of my favourites for this. Guy barely looked arsed while having a first touch like he was trapping a bag of sand and scored worldies without breaking a sweat. I agree about watching less football overall. I watch Motherwell & Scotland but don't really give too much of a f**k about anything else these days.
