Not fishing, genuinely want to known out of curiousity, if you guys have everyone fit, does Devlin make your strongest XI? And would he get a game ahead of Considine? Cheers. If everyone is fit and on firm then it's McKenna and Devlin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I really like devlin but he hasn’t been on form for about a year. And it hasn’t just been iffy, it’s been very poor. The devlin of a year ago would get my full backing for Scotland but we’ve seen a different player since his injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fishing, genuinely want to known out of curiousity, if you guys have everyone fit, does Devlin make your strongest XI? And would he get a game ahead of Considine? Cheers. Not for me. I personally think Considine has better defensive instincts, is more robust and has a better reading of the game. I don't think Devlin could produce some of the performances Considine did against a striker like Morelos last season, for example. It would be great if Devlin could begin to find the form that he showed when he first got fit and started playing for us, but it feels like a very long time ago now. There might be a case for Considine at left-back in certain games which would make space for Devlin alongside McKenna, but if it's a straight choice between Devlin and Considine, I'm taking Considine at the moment.

Mulgrew is the first choice every game and somehow manages to look worse than whoever he's playing alongside every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryson told his agent to get him a move to Killie in March but the club never followed up, wages were never an issue for him just wanted to move home.

A central defender who cant do contact defending and who thinks he's some beckenbaueresqe ball playing centre back cause he takes 4 or 5 touches before lumping it aimlessly up the pitch. I also cant trust a centre back in his mid 30s with a hairband. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD1711 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi, I'm currently doing a report as part of my coursework for Uni and I'm talking about the alienation and commodification in football, I'm speaking about the MK Dons case and how the move alienated the fans, how are the Aberdeen fans feeling about the move to Westhill? Obviously this is a less extreme case for Aberdeen as they are moving 7 miles rather than the 80 that MK Dons did, but any input would be appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many posters they have from the Ferranti/Meadowbank days but you should really post this on the Livi thread.

Excuse my ignorance but did MK Dons move anywhere? As far as I’m aware they have always played in Milton Keys - hence the name. As said above speak to Meadowbank fans. Clyde had an actual relocation as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK Dons were originally Wimbledon so I assume they were located in Wimbledon. Ever since the name change they've been located in Milton Keynes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem Wimbledon play 3/4 a season there before the club folded and MK Dons emerged. I certainly wouldn't regard MK and Wimbledon as the same side though, so my initial point still stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK Dons is a run by a new company, but they acquired the goodwill from the old one (checked companies house because I'm tragic). So they are the same trade but a different legal person. Whether or not this means that they are a different club is a very tedious point which I believe may have been discussed elsewhere. This does allow us to both be right though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the dedicated stadium thread though. Hibs and St Johnstone fans seem to have a real problem with it. Best of luck with your course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
