  1. If you have to rely on other results, the only team to blame is ourselves. Delighted we are up the right end of the table, though. Anything else will be a nice bonus.
  2. If we have to beat Celtic to be sure, that's fine too.
  3. Only another 200 years before I reach the top tier!
  4. While I'm sure it was a good night out, I think the event itself was a tough sell. I'm not sure fans are too interested in celebrating the 25th anniversary of a cup win. Apart from reminding us how long it is since we won a trophy, the nature of our club running so many events and giving so much access to the players probably means everyone who has ever wanted to speak the players or ask questions has had ample opportunity - which is a good thing, obviously. Maybe if there is another 25 years before we win a trophy teh 50 year will have a bigger turnout!
  5. Aye, that's what the commentator mentioned during their cup game with Hibs. Maybe a new hunting ground for our scouting network.
  6. Long term, it should be more than just a spreadsheet or database and more of a CRM system. Not my area of expertise, but there might be some members who know more about it.
  7. Not saying it was you, but there has definitrly been some hate on here. Given our options at full back, the managers must have thought he offered something the others did not.
  8. He's one of those players that fans hate but managers think does the job for them.
  9. If I take a photo of the mug with the picture on it, can I use it as a template to paint a mural on the back of the East Stand?
  10. TBF, Hall and Cadden have established themselves are regulars and Laing, Thomas, Leitch and Kennedy have recently been able to step up to good effect when required. If we can keep giving those guys game time over the next few weeks, I don't think it would harm our chances any.
  11. Whether or not that's true, I suspect now newRangers will be rejoining us next season, every player in Scotland will be linked with them in the next few months.
  12. How many did we lose with him in this season and last? I wish stats were more reliable.
  13. Direct email has always worked for me too. If the website's email link was broken, they might not be aware, so worth mentioning that to to them as well.
  14. Moult has been terrific this season. The big question in the summer will be, if we get a decent offer, do we sell him while he's hot? I imagine we will move either him or Johnson on given the needs and philosophy of the club. If that's the case we need to hope the same scouting infrastructure that identified him can deliver the goods again.
  15. I'm hopeful it was our new scouting system that identified those 3 rather than Baraclough, but I guess time will tell.
  16. Aye, great win given the personnel reshuffle. Proved our mettle and confirms Aberdeen's bottle merchant status (although if we beat Celtic it could put them back in the hunt!)
  17. After we went 1 down was hoping for a point. That was an unexpected bonus.
  18. Must be a long drop from the treatment table to the floor.
  19. When it's a choice between Celtic and Rangers, of course he's a Celtic man. Aberdeen was where he was winning European trophies, though, so a little more impartial when it comes to choosing between those two.
  20. Nice one, guys. Exactly the kind of community activity the club and The Society are trying to promote.
  21. Weren't they docked points becasue they cancelled without the permission of the league? I remember listening to Danny Baker's show discussing this (or a similar case) where the club had said they cancelled "in fairness to the fans" because they couldn't put out a full strength team. His argument was that fans tend to appreciate that and if a team of youngsters had to be put out, any team's fans would give them total backing. Having said that, I think McGhee made a good point in his press conference yesterday. Given the current battle for top spot, he wanted to be as fair as possible when we played Aberdeen and Celtic by putting out our strongest side in both.
  22. That is an insightful interview. Of course he's going to put a positive spin on things, but if what he says about budgets and loan repayments etc. is accurate (and no reason to believe it's not) then it sounds like we a have a good foundation to build on. Now I need a shower after clicking on a Daily Mail link.
  23. Exactly this. For the past few years, people on here have been complaining about how Dundee Utd were selling on players for huge fees and raking it in. Except, they were spending huge amounts of money on wages, wallowing in millions of debt (which has been assumed by private individuals skimming off the transfer fees) and having a fire sale on their assets. Would anyone want us to swap places with Dundee Utd now?
  24. The Society is not running the club. The Society owns the club (or will own the club once the deal is done). The Board will run the club. The Society will influence who is on the Board.
