  1. Tierney is a very good fullback who is capable of doing well in England. Folk saying otherwise are trying too hard IMO. Plenty of people were jumping up and down not long ago that he wasn’t ambitious enough to try a higher level as well.
  2. The short career argument isn’t used to justify their wages, it’s to justify why a player may prioritise wages when choosing what club/league to play in. Like why so many young Scottish players go to England and spend a lot of time on the bench making money. It IS a short career and I’d suggest you having an issue with someone trying to maximise their earnings during it is simply your issue. Also frank lampard is a terrible example given there’s a decent chance he’ll be unemployed again by Christmas. Your complaint has some credence if you’re discussing the very top footballers who clearly earn enough during their careers to sort themselves for life. But the vast majority don’t earn enough in that 15-20 year period to not need a career afterwards.
  3. Hope wastecoatwilly doesn’t read this, hell not be impressed.
  4. You just know funso ojo is going to be shite, whoever he signs for.
  5. At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man I totally agree.
  6. I don’t know much about Curran and his work outside of goals etc but to be fair to may he is well liked at Pittodrie. Most fans I know desperately want him to find the goals because all the other parts of his game are brilliant and he has contributed a lot to us in spite of not scoring.
  7. Don’t worry m9, it’s my experience of Glaswegians that is influencing my opinion.
  8. Yeah I was raging at the time. It looked so easy for them. I spent all of the second half begging us to get a 3rd to put it to bed so for it to finish 2-1 was a massive kick in the balls.
  9. I’ve been convinced for a while that Scott Wright just isn’t good enough. Disappointing but he’s just not kicked on enough.
  10. Got an issue with an inflamed tendon in my thumb. Making a lot of weights and upper body exercises really painful. Went to the doctor and basically just gave me ibuprofen and try and not do it anymore damage, will just take time to heal
  11. I really enjoyed that last night. Thought for a first outing we looked full of energy. That tie could and really should be out of sight. Still players to come in like Bryson, the early signs are promising. The brain fart at the end is a slight concern and has made for an uncomfortable trip over there. I think they are shite though so we really shouldn’t be fearing it. Beautiful finish from McGinn btw, going back to the discussion in here the other day about him. That sort of finish is what he can do and very few others in the team can.
  12. There’s a lot of revision of history on these things. The Scottish cup win at ibrox was amazing. But without the early goal and sitting back the way we did it could in an alternate universe go very differently. If we lose I’m sure we’d be accused of shitting the bed. Our record against Celtic is poor tbf but our record last season against a side that pay multiples of what we do on wages and transfer fees was excellent.
  13. I can’t work out if he genuinely believes the pish he’s pedalling or if it’s a coordinated social media thing to whip up morons.
  14. It will also give you a moral high ground this season when the dons beat you yet again.
  15. Seeing as he spent £400k just to purposefully ruin stevie may’s career I think you should be disgusted tbh.
  16. In seriousness, very pleased. Was a little concerned they were in the final year of contract. There will be some seethe over this that I don’t understand but best ignored.
  17. For clarity I’m not saying it’s a brilliant business model in the slightest, and not particularly sustainable. But when people suggest they’re up to their ears and on the brink etc it’s clearly based on hope not knowledge.
  18. Hello derek you gorgeous man, job for life pal [emoji7]
