  1. As far as I can tell it was a 12 month contract. Just checked, it's a 12 month contract with an option for a further year - Linky You'd assume with him being Northern Irish TW will have a fair idea about him. Not sure how he's performed on loan spells, mind you.
  2. Won the "U23 league Save of the Season" award last season, for a cracking double save. His contract expires next summer.
  3. Playing this for the first time, hooked already. No idea how far through I am, just met the guy with all the booby traps after the Capitol building. Clickers give me the fucking fear.
  4. And is the next round not when the losers from the CL Qualifiers arrive, and are all instantly seeded?
  5. Hamiltons had the nickname FlapJack for years now. Its a natural issue with him and one that doesn't seem able to be coached out.
  6. Tbf to Dundee they have Caulker and Kamara to return. Kamara is one of the best midfielders in the league.
  7. Considering your strikeforce is Moussa and Wighton, who scored a combined seven goals last season, and some random boy signed off the back of a YouTube video, you surely can't be surprised?
  8. One of the statto twitter pages had a perfect example. Sure it was a year ago, but it had us down in the highest three places of clubs in terms of "shots against", but in the lowest six of "expected goals against". We concede a lot of chances, but most of the chances are rushed/blocked/from awkward angles.
  9. Do you lot remember Matty Kennedy? I'm hoping he's a Swanson clone, but with more pace and less fat.
  10. there's a reason for that, and it's not because Montrose are some incredible side. Theres a reason we're two divisions above. The fact you're absolutely buzzing about only losing 1-0 and "giving it a real good go", is perfectly understandable, but you're pushing the reality a bit much now.
  11. Does that fact McInnes' reaction to a clearly declining squad is "what players did I try and sign in the last three years" not worry Aberdeen fans?
  12. Possession stats have always been a bit false (in a literal sense aswell with the BBC, they genuinely make most up as they go. Do flash scores or that do possession stats?), and I won't be disappointed if we cede possession every so often if it allows us to counter the way we did today. Some of the quick breaks involving McMillan, Alston and Wright were brilliant. Alston looked lost first half in a two, moved forward and looked a different player. His timing of the run is superb and combine that with McMillans lay offs and we've got a good partnership. The fact our strongest eleven arguably doesn't include them two hints at how we'll be able to change matches with a sub this season though, which is something we've lacked. FWIW I was reading a Plymouth forum about Kennedy today, apparently a "one trick pony", but is far more effective if you let him roam about as a "free left winger". Sounds Swanson-y.
  13. Tbf Tommy Wright has targeted young Scots who've "lost their way" a lot over the past year or so. Scougall, Kennedy and Watt the obvious examples, we were after the likes of McNulty last Summer aswell (what a signing that would've been, looking back).
  14. Fair fucks to the club this Summer, not sure anyone can have any real complaints
  15. He got injured, and came back and scored some goals late in the season I think. He's been given the number nine shirt and has started all their friendlies. He'd cost more than they spent on him aswell (£500k). I suspect your current targets will be like all your targets, completely impossible to guess.
  16. There's a very dodgy line between what's actually bullying and what isn't these days. Theres been apprentice mechanics who claimed they've been bullied by their bosses purely because they're told to sweep the floor first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Id be loathe to instantly decry anyone who's been in the game as long as Robinson has, without any issues, based on one persons perspective.
  17. MacLean suffered two serious microfracture knee injuries with us playing on it, and doctors recommended he shouldn't play any more games on it as the next fracture could be a major one, which would serious implications for his entire life. MacLean is the type of person who just wants to play, but TW refused to let him risk his later life mobility for a game of football, I'd hope Levein feels the same way but it doesn't look like it. Theres plenty of quotes from MacLean a few years back admitting he struggles to recover after games on it and feels pain in his knee.
  18. You definitely have. Hibs are seemingly willing to let him leave next Summer as they believe the money they'll make this season with him, will be more than any transfer fee they'll receive once they've handed over your cut. Be a shame if your entire Summer business was based on a transfer that doesn't even involve you.
  19. Yes, most Scottish clubs aren't owned by five millionaires desperate for attention, though.
  20. WILD SPECULATION KLAXON Greg Docherty has been told he can leave Rangers on loan, we clearly need CM reinforcements and we can't be accused of not helping O'Halloran when he was loaned from them. He's still not a playmaker type midfielder, but would be a clear improvement on what's in there beside Muzz at the moment.
  21. Theory goes English clubs will be loathe to release players until their window shuts, as its all a bit frightful for them. So quality loanees will be available after the 9th. Was linked with Fleetwood Town.
  22. https://mobile.twitter.com/SimpsonsSPFL/status/1019996204199968768 First comment is interesting..
