  1. Docherty has had a nightmare there. Fair enough they might've had some bad decisions against them recently, but there is no chance that is a penalty.
  2. Aye, you're right. It was 'poorest' not 'worst'. I take it all back.
  3. It's great that so many teams churn out their 'worst performance of the season' when they lose to us. Wonder what the common denominator is.
  4. Jeez. Putting aside the fact that they look nothing like each other - 'these players'? f**k me.
  5. Olusanya was in his own half.what a dreadful decision by the linesman. Good, composed finish by a much maligned player too. Can't say we don't deserve the win. Could've been more with Baccus and Kiltie both missing good chances.
  6. That's a yellow card all day. I appreciate the ref gave a red, which was maybe harsh. Either way he was walking
  7. Crazy from Bolton. His first yellow was a joke, but if you're on a booking you don't dive in.
  8. Good strike but that's rotten from Carson. Think we deserve that.
  9. I think it's been an OK game. Both teams have had spells and had some good moments of passing. Dundee started better, then we came more into it and have had a couple of half chances. I was convinced Beck was going to score but I think Kwon did enough.
  10. He's not likely to turnaround and say 'the reason was Dundee were offering me more dosh'. For what it's worth, I think he makes a good point and I've no doubt that was a big factor, but I'm pretty sure the deciding factor would be money.
  11. I think if he'd had more game time he might've kicked on a bit. He was really good in flashes for us, and he was excellent for Inverness. He couldn't get in our team as he was never a wing back. This has been said before, but now we often play with a front three I'm certain he'd have seen more game time had he stayed with us, than he has at County.
  12. Let's give Adams the benefit of the doubt and say it was done to motivate his players. What it seems to have done is actually motivate the opposition, every team talk now from opposing managers will include "this guy thinks you're shite".
  13. Coming out with stuff like Morecambe 'are 100 times better' isn't being honest though. It's hyperbole (it's nonsense even) and you argued he said it to get a reaction. Which implied you didn't think he was being particularly honest either.
  14. Come on, this isn't a 'style', he's been an incoherent mess in these interviews. I haven't seen him show any kind of fight, he has blamed everyone but himself and essentially claimed that he won't be able to do anything about it. Implied one week that he maybe hadn't done enough research into what he was inheriting, then last night claimed he came into it with his 'eyes open'. I'm all for giving managers time and actually think he probably needs at least a few weeks with his new signings to see if he can turn the results around, but let's not kid on that this is anything more than a struggling manager talking shite after some poor results.
  15. Korea were very fortunate to draw with Jordan in the group stage and stumbled through to the semis really. I kept expecting them to hit a bit of form and win the whole thing but they've actually been really poor. Klinsmann should probably get the bullet.
  16. Might set up a betting tips social media account
  17. Quote from Adams on the BBC site; "when I took the job I was open eyed, honest, and all I can say is that I'm not surprised." What an odd thing to say. Is it just me or does that make no sense whatsoever?
  18. The one we got at Hibs on Saturday too.
  19. He's a good player but that last sentence is wild.
  20. I was going to play devil's advocate and say that he needs time to work with all the new signings, but it's difficult to argue with this point.
  21. It would be a big blow to lose him. I guess the fact it didn't work out for him at Hibs might mean that the bigger Scottish clubs might look elsewhere. That said, it seems Dundee and Kilmarnock are offering more money than us, so they might make a move. I think a team in league 1 ib England, or somewhere abroad might be the most likely. As you say, he's earned a salary bump and if he needs to move down south or abroad for that then I certainly wouldn't hold it against him.
  22. He mentioned it on Sportsound and said that they did OK and would've definitely stayed up with or without sacking them and appointing Warnock. He also said that Aberdeen would finish 4th no matter who the manager was, so he either doesn't know how football works, or how talking works.
  23. I think English is alright. Part of his remit must be to try and noise people up a bit and argue against what others say. The national broadcaster should be above that, but it's 2024 and we need to justify everything with clicks and 'impressions'. His tweet about Warnock being a brect supporter (which we could've all guessed anyway) I'm assuming was some sort of twitter wind up, I don't use twitter so I don't know. He has a reasonable knowledge of the teams he's talking about though and does a bit of research, which is more than I could say for some of the ex pros they have on Sportsound.
  24. There is a slight advantage for the Premiership side but I think it's overstated. Teams in the Premiership play 38 games, the Championship it's 36. So, if the Championship side finished 3rd or 4th they'll have played 2 more games - if they finished 2nd it's the same amount of games. I suppose the Premiership side will get more time off from when they finished their league campaign.
  25. So, in essence, any season Aberdeen (or Hibs) don't finish top 3/4 then they should sack their manager? Or 2 managers? Doesn't seem like a great way to run a club. And it's not like sacking the manager is a guarantee of a top 4 finish. It worked for Aberdeen last season. Doesn't look like it will work for Hibs this year.
