Jonesy

Constantly pass the ball about from the right back to the centre halfs and out to the left back, and then back again without going anywhere.

We're definitely not reluctant to go long. We spent most of Saturday passing the ball backwards so Paulsen could launch it aimlessly up the park.

That's him already at the stage in his press conferences of trying to tell me I didn't really see what I've just seen. Alexander and Kettlewell were masters of that one.

I'm not having Johansson at all. We are brutal.

A shame it didn't work out but he never really seemed settled. Still a better option than 2 of the 3 strikers he's left behind.

This is all at least a year old. There was a bit of a clamber a year or 2 ago to change to a 14 or 16 team set up, so the league leaked a 10 team suggestion and quickly binned the idea when everyone kicked off about it in the hope everyone would be happy sticking with the 12 team league.

He's explained the thought process, like it or lump it. I don't really think the seats are that uncomfortable (there's more leg room than previously for a start) it's just the lack of room for squeezing by others that's the main issue. So long as they clean them regularly and don't let them get caked in bird shit that's about the best we can hope for. They'll not be getting replaced again, the seats meet all the criteria needed to keep UEFA and all the other regulators happy so that's that. One way or another the stand won't be there for much longer so they're not going to go throwing more good money after bad.

I've got a bridge to sell you.

With the added bonus of getting a right good moan in after watching a team of youngsters and knackered senior players take a doing.

There's not much else they could have done. We don't have any available Friday nights or weekend dates to move it to.

I thought the days of having 14 right backs on our books was gone? He's pish anyway.

We haven't announced a co-op agreement for this season yet have we? Something like that might be ideal for him similar to Whyte last season, although we didn't really make full use of it by ever recalling Whyte at any point.

Definitely not for that amount of money.

I'd be surprised if Falkirk were looking to sell him or if he was looking to leave to begin with tbh. A 30 year old midfielder who has 1 season in the top division with no resale value who you'll get 2 years out of (maybe 3 at the very most)? No, he's not worth anything like £400-500k and if anyone is daft enough to spend that money on him it'll certainly not be us.

Aye you can. Just head down and see them

Hahahaha. Absolutely not. £40-50k max.

Part of what McInnes said was also along the lines of "I didn't need to ask who the penalty was for when I was told". What he said was definitely worse than anything Watt came out with.

Rangers manager Derek McInnes gets a more lenient sentence than (ex) Motherwell's Elliot Watt - despite saying much worse. There's a shock.

The closest thing we've got to a clash is Dundee Utd. This doesn't clash with them so we'll either wear this or the 3rd kit. Against Hearts we'll wear the home kit unless there's another agreement between the sides to both wear away kits like we've had previously. Other than that we'll probably wear it in every other away game bar Aberdeen and probably Dundee or Rangers.

Declan Gallagher joins Airdrie. If ever a club suited a player. He's also assistant manager, which I'm sure will work out an absolute treat given how successful his spells as captain with us and Ross County were.

They would need to buy 4 houses, not just 2. Any new stand will likely just be built on the existing footprint.

Some of the runs we went on under Gannon, Brown and McCall(?) were good. Especially the season under Brown when we beat Breadablik and Aalesunds but aye, you're right there. Managing to beat one of those higher ranked teams and give us something to shout about is the next step we need to take. Even St Johnstone have managed to do it.

That was a hangover from the previous season though, not from a standing start, and had been building from about March. He should really have been dealt with as soon season as the previous season had ended rather than prolong the agony. As shite as Ricki Lamie was the worst thing he ever did was score that goal v Livi or Alexander would never have made it to the Sligo game.

We don't always though do we? Aside from Sligo last time and Stjarnan we pretty much always do as well as we should be expected and gone out against the much higher ranked seeded team. Other than those too instances you need to go all the way back to Mypa to fill your misery quota. It's frustrating we've not yet taken that extra step and gone beyond that extra step - Odense was the one that got away there and would have put us into the group phase. I'll have missed some but going out to Nancy, Panathinaikos, Levante, Steuea Bucharest, Odense, Krasnador or the Israeli mob isn't exactly a rid neck. There are some games in there we possibly could have done better in (namely Odense and possibly he Israelis if Gallagher hadn't made a cunt of himself) but it's not an embarrassment by a long stretch. All of these teams had much bigger budgets than us and/or are regulars in European competition.

Fucking hell man.
