nogbad the bad

Thats quite a problem, two equally enticing scenarios. IHE quite likes the scouse derby idea, but then again he's also attracted to the Killie in the cup/lesbian choice. Very tricky, which way will he decide. Well, there's only one way to find out.....................!!!

Not been much on the mill lately, so here's something that most people will find not very surprising. Higgins contract runs out at the end of the season with County and he wants to join us. It might depend on us staying up though. I haven't seen him play but apparently he's much better than AB, very quick, elusive and natural goalscorer and much more likely to impress in the SPL. This all comes from a reasonably reliable source.

According to the Mail on Sunday ( I get it for the free DVD ) we had Derek Stillie in goal for us yesterday....where do they get these reporters from.

where is duff?

Its not an issue, we need them all. Just because things worked out well yesterday does,nt mean they always will. Long term injuries, suspensions, tiredness and loss of form, even the odd jail sentence can all come along and upset the apple cart. For the 4 who began yesterday we have cover in Imrie, Proctor, Gillespie and Duncan and for this year Wilson. We will probably need them all before the seasons out. Also different types of player may be more suitable for certain games than others. We forget quickly what influential games the likes of Russel Duncan in the holding role have had against the big teams like Rangers and Celtic. I,d be a little more circumspect in what you wish for when it comes to dumping one of our most (and only) experienced senior players.

Mann4thejob! A shame indeed.....but more to the point, shame on you......"and still quite young"....really. You'll be telling us 75 is the new 55 next. You would'nt be careering through your middle years by any chance would you.

That's 4 Under 19 victories on the bounce against seasoned Highland League opponents. I take it that's quite impressive. Is it?

Audrey Hepburn dubbed by Marnie Nixon, Pimple......not Rex.

Save your breath Starchief, I've been calling for Ross to be given a run at centreback for years now, even as far back as the 2nd division days, no one ever takes a blind bit of notice. If he had been introduced to the ways of central defence years back, we may by now have one of the better CHs in the Spl. On the other hand, I'm no coach or manager, so may be missing something in his play that would make him playing there unsuitable. Even Paterson who was his footballing mentor and knew him better than anyone only tried him there a couple of times and then dropped the idea.

As always , hard to tell much from first proper friendly, so read with caution................... Barrowman has a bit about him, given quality service he should score at least 10-15 goals in the SPL. Compared to Wood and Rory he's a Torres. Zadi should cause defences a lot of problems this year......our own! Evans the Trialist; looks like he'll carry that tag for a while yet, until he settles in at a nice mid table 2nd division club. Imrie appears to be carrying on his improvement and should be a positive force for us this season. Zander looked fast and lively but tended to run into dead ends with no creative outcomes....much refining still needed. Our defensive unit looked better in the 1st half when Grant was organising but very poor once he left the game....much work still to be done there, although to be fair Brewster played 2 up front supported by 4 attacking midfielders and a mad left back, leaving huge gaps for County to exploit.... I can't see us playing that system very often. Our best player? Probably Black, his usual hard tackling, calmness on the ball and good distribution, plus, he kept his cool despite some provocation....which is more than you can say for Rossco. Team for Aberdeen? Fraser Tokely McGuire Munro Hastings Wilson Cowie Black Imrie Niculae Barrowman Same old, same old, I'm afraid......still, if we could change the habit of a lifetime and register some early victories for once, the confidence might take a boost and who knows what might lead on from there.

Guzz, this is gobbo. Sorry i'm late, will once more hand over the money to The Sponge who will probably pass it on to the nearest barman.

Interest from QPR! Yes Please. Are'nt they part owned by a multi billionaire. Hold out for ?2 million grassa.
