Loaned out to Dundee Utd from Ross County last season but only made 27 appearances.

On the “investment/return” discussion I read something which was along the lines of a lot of well off Americans are purchasing/investing in foreign businesses including sports due to when Trump was in power he changed their tax laws to allow money invested abroad to be deductible and simply put this means that if someone pays out $1m then it’s $1m less they pay in tax so it’s basically free money for them to gamble/play with and they get something to add too their portfolio. Now - being cynical here as I don’t believe he is but - for someone like Barmack being seen to be helping out a wee fan owned Scottish team could, if things go well, potentially get him and his company more publicity and kudos than spending the cash in advertising ever could.

Definitely weeyin, we all wish we could find players like him every season and build on keeping them longer but it’s good to watch him - and others - progress after leaving us.

Big Cedric’s a unit and a class act, we can only dream of him ever returning.

9th place guaranteed, let’s keep this going and get 7th

Regarding Halliday I’ve mixed feelings. I agree that his pace ain’t great but he does have good awareness, takes up good positions and is constantly talking and pointing things to other players trying to encourage them on and showing them options they might not have seen. Maybe not a stick on starter every week but if we’re set up for others to cover his lack of pace then I think he could be a worthwhile addition to help others manage the game on the park.

Seriously ya nutter! Bevis in goals is the obvious choice, tall, will command the box, only needs to take by kicks so no dribbling and legally allowed to handle the ball. Move Kelly to midfield to show off more of his nifty foot work prowess. Job done! Who the feck needs coaching badges? Any clown can do this job.

You do know the games at Fir Park? Wonder if MJC will agree

I’ll stick with my view as it’s not reckless either both players were entitled to go for the ball and no I wouldn’t have been screaming for a red card but I’d have been screaming at Vale if he’d pulled out of the challenge and I’m confident our appeal will be upheld.

That’s a very short clip of the incident which doesn’t give a true account of it and is from a view the the referee couldn’t see. Watch the full incident and most folk will have a more balanced view of it. Vale’s straight leg and studs showing is due to him clearing the ball not attacking the Aberdeen player who runs into Vale and could have seriously injured him - look at the way Vale spins when they collide. As I’ve said before, no intent, no malice no red card. It’s a collision nothing more.

Part one of my prediction done, ref and VAR slated on sportscene. Also liked SK and pundits slagging them off saying anyone who’s played football knows that’s never a red card - wasn’t even a foul so no free kick, no corner, no goal. I hope the club send a letter of protest in against both the referee and VAR guy.

Name the defender who he hasn’t played who would have made a difference. At different points of the season every defender has been played in different permutations and we’ve lost stupid goals from open play/corners/set pieces so I’d say it’s more down to the defender’s themselves - unless you guys think they’re not getting coached on defending in which case you should be abusing the defensive coaches.

My point earlier was that it looked like they were desperate to give Aberdeen something - fully expect the red card decision to be slated on sportscene tonight and possibly the red being reduced on appeal. Not that any of that counts for anything.

Shite decision, no malice or intent.

Can only hope for an improvement in the second half.

Seems like every time they get the ball in our box VAR checks for a penalty even when no one claims.

If Aberdeen come out attacking and leave space at the back it could be a high scoring game but if both teams sit in and try to hit on the break it could be a turgid affair.

Would you have been a different age if you had went to a different school?

Regarding the free season tickets post Covid, can anyone give a definitive answer to this? It’s been said a few times and I’m sure it’s correct but other insist on calling it a load of bull. Was there ever an official statement from the club, something said at an AGM or is it just an urban myth?

Refusing to watch that display of OF bias by a referee - it’s probably used today as a referee training video.

Trouble is when someone quotes them you see it or if someone replies to that person and others chip in you end up reading stuff and not understanding the context. Best to just scroll past their posts

The bogeyman says it’s from a Nigerian prince, all we have to do is give him all our bank details and he will transfer the money - think he’s worked with Accies before.

Rangers were asking around £20M for Morelos but the closest -rumoured- offer was around £10M which they and their fans thought derogatory, I wonder how many now think they should have taken the deal. On another note a bogeyman I know says Aberdeen have a deal to sell Miovski for £4M and Burrows has done a deal with McMahon to buy Bair for a fiver.

Theo will be 25 at the start of next season and only about a third of the way through his career. According to transfer market website his value is €750k (roughly £646k). Salary sport have his salary at £31200 - I’m assuming this is without bonuses. So if they are to be believed £750k isn’t that bad a deal and would mean that for an outlay of probably £50k max, the club would get a return in the region of £700k. Now I’m not saying we sell him but from a financial point of view £750k doesn’t look that bad. Personally, like most of us I’d rather we offered and he accepted a new contract on better terms and continued to develop/improve with the view to selling him for more next summer but to a certain extent that would be a gamble and I could understand selling him if he doesn’t want an extension or if SK and his staff think he can be replaced and have someone lined up. No point in hanging on until the transfer window is about to close and then scrambling about.

Given Clark’s obsession with player’s he’s worked with SOD’s the man - hope he’s not booked his holidays yet
