Middlesbrough?

Ins and Outs is a fine place to talk about ins and outs. Moaning in a match thread about a keeper who has just kept a clean sheet in our most important league game of the season is just being miserable for the sake of it.

100% agree and it's one of my pet peeves that in recent seasons that kind of incident goes unpunished much more often than not. Thankfully, it didn't cost us this time.

I'd love to know who you regard as being a happy clapper.

McCall said he learned from last year and everyone offered a new deal will have to respond by a deadline or walk on.

Would be if they had given me any.

McCall's response:

Just completed possibly our best league achievement of recent times and you come on here to post a moan about the keeper. You can't make this stuff up.

Pleasing.

I thought Faddy was poor against ICT, so if he does play, he will need to step up a gear.

Caution as opposed to attack and yet we have beaten our post war record for number of wins this season.

It's like the Arab Spring for drums.

Erwin and Anier would be my guess.

Presumably, because Cash Convertors would be getting less advertising and paying us less money.

Google maps reckons it's 2hr 42mins from my Dad's house in Hamilton up to Pittodire, so the AA sounds on the conservative side.

The MFC email today says we have had 9 players under the knife this season. That's quite a casualty list.

Both sides of the collar on the away should have been claret with the amber Macron in the middle. Apart from that, they are both OK. Even if they were brilliant, I'm too old to be wearing them and won't be taking them on holiday

Two reasons for me. Firstly, he didn't play his best until the last 6 months of his contract. Secondly, after his enforced absences from regular first team action, you can't be sure how that will affect a guy's confidence or form. A third resason (at no extra cost) is the potential abuse he ws likely to take (as per Hollis, Vigurs, Lawson etc.) from some fans for not being exactly like the guy he replaced. Having said that, I wasn't expecting him to be mince - but was not expecting a 20+ season from him.

I didn't fancy Sutton when he came back, but he proved that after all these years I still know nothing about the game. So my vote for the big man.

The worst case for us is that we stay in 3rd place, qualifying for Europe. The worst case for Aberdeen is they drop a place and lose out on the 2nd place prize money they currently qualify for. We literally have nothing to lose.

There definitely are, but also a fair amount of players in the $50 - $120k range, which is less than many out our club I would think.

MLS makes salaries public. While there are some players that get the big numbers, I always find it interesting to see the full list. Lots of guys on there who don't earn a whole lot - especially when you compare it to other US team sports. MLS Salaries by Player (pdf file)

I'm really not sure about Faddy. Last season I thought it was a big risk given our finances, but it turned out really well. This season, he has really struggled and hasn't exactly set the heather on fire. Maybe time to part ways and see if we can bring through the next young star - like Dom Thomas.

Would have though Lionel could get more cash down south (as the MLS wages aren't great unless you qualify for "superstar" status or whatever the name is to get around the cap), but good luck to him of he wants to try his hand over here. Randolph needs a decent Centre Half in front of him, so that one definitely makes sense!

Bring back the maximum wage!
