Yes and no. Yes, he was at Hibs but no - he was sent off for a VICIOUS tackle on Jim Paterson (no rashness about it despite what Murdo McLeod said).

Does anyone have a decent photo of the riot police in Nancy they could send me? If anyone can oblige please PM me. Thanks.

Hopefully someone will win it!

Is it possible that Willie Miller & Mark McGhee are not on each other's Christmas card list?

Still go for it Brazilian. I'm sure the site's supporters will do their best as they always have done.

I've been led to believe that if the two of them met in an Aberdeen bar it would have been pure coincidence, Jim. If MMcG was ever to return to Pittodrie then a few fences would have to be mended.

Totally agree Melvyn. Paul Quinn was far from being our worst player today and he, at least, showed some will to win. Looking back over the season its our left flank thats cost us most goals, time after time after time. If opposition managers can see it why can't we? The defence must be rejigged for next season as we've lost far too many cheap goals. That should be our number one aim. We also need a left sided midfielder who can defend.

Its not all his fault. Our defence made sure of that today. However he was possibly the most talented player on display today, on paper. In theory a real matchwinner capable of setting the game alight. The trouble is he rarely if ever does, and is all too often overshadowed by those with lesser skills

Spot on. O'Brien and Hughes looked very impressive but didn't actually do anything. The latter will not be missed next year. At times our build up was so laboured and slow that by the time we approached Killie's box 10/11 of their players were organised and waiting for us. Where was O'Brien's and Hughes' guile?

Main Stand was terrible too.

Being honest both Hammell & MacLean had nightmares today. Looking to next season Hammy is simply not up to holding onto the left back spot and a 12 month deal for Brian MacLean seems like his last chance to prove himself.

As always Paul Quinn & Davie Clarkson worked hard and showed a bit of passion but my vote goes to Jamie Murphy. He looked livelier in his short spell on the pitch than the others did over 90 minutes. It was very hard not to be impressed by the Kilmarnock defence but they did look vulnerable to a bit of pace on the deck. Somewhat sportingly, we chose not to press home that advantage until Murphy's appearance from the bench. Hopefully the SFA obsever will have been impressed by that display of fair play.

After his performance today I wonder of his offer of a contract has been withdrawn?

As we've established on these boards may times the club does not control the Police. Its the other way around.

From what I can gather Alan Combe is definitely out and I can live with that as I don't particularly like him visiting Fir Park. Fraser Wright is being rested due to his disciplinary record.

For me its a toss up between Chris Porter's red card against Hamilton in the CIS Cup or Davie Clarkson's red card at Parkhead. I'll settle on the latter.

Facinating isn't it? A 9 year old kid from Wishaw is on the radar of English clubs, Aberdeen and Falkirk. It just goes to show these outfits have an intelligence network that Mossad would envy.

Yes he is guaranteed regular European football with us.......once every 15 years.

I've been clear in my own mind for some months now that Smith and Hughes would move on and I'm relaxed about that. Maros Klimpl? I've again thought that the probability was that he too would move on. That leaves us very short in midfield and back where we were 2 years ago. In my book we'd require a left winger and two central midfielders (a midfield destroyer and an attacking type). Hopefully some newcomers with pace. Keith Lasley is a decent and committed squad player but too lightweight for the hurly burly of the SPL. All this adds up to an interesting summer.

Correct Greg - and off the field too by all accounts. A player doesn't just require talent he needs to be part of the team not just on, but also off, the pitch

Yes, and those are the very qualities that will make him more attractive to an English side at the moment. Someone who should know, Mark McGhee (and Terry Butcher before him), rates him very highly.

I too quite liked Mark Brown, but to be fair he was not universally liked. On a few occasions I had my work cut out defending him with others in East Stand. Quite a few Dossers would take issue with us MJC.

Almost certainly Paul Quinn will move on at some stage, but hopefully we can hold onto him for another season or two.

An interesting summary by Leeann. I doubt if any contractor could rectify the slope as we've discussed before. If they were to level it completely then the POD Stand side would be somewhere between 4' and 7' which simply isn't feasible. That said perhaps they could level it and raise it slightly, but I'd have thought by no more than 6" at its lowest point.

Well done again to all concerned Angie. Good to see us thump our county rivals. Maybe its time you reminded Flow of his promise to give you a dedicated page on the clubs website
