Do you still have your boots?

Something needs to change, it doesn't have to be the manager but perhaps the attitude and approach. Who is going to make that happen though?

No beef with Frear usually but today was awful, each thing he tried was thwarted, no impact whatsoever. I think Bowman is a very negative player with the ball at his feet, always turns away from goal to try and protect the ball rather than being positive. The team in general tended to look to play the ball back or even wider than we already were. Turnbull was man of the match because he played the ball forward twice.

Is this something clever that I don't understand or have you just proved yourself to operate at the level that we all thought?

Was at the semi final today, it looked like a younger fitter team against an older more experienced team and we did well to get the win, interesting that each goal was a ball into the box from the right. I thought that we were a bit short in midfield, many of the free balls falling to Spartans girls and a willingness to play the ball back into the pack rather than to isolate someone out wide. However the overall performance was great, I guess Hibs may be a game too far but more importantly how are we going to shake things up for the league next year, are there youngsters coming through or is there a recruitment drive needed?

He's here till Christmas so a waste of a discussion, I see him as part of the club so am as keen for him to do well as I am for any of the players who take the field. He has a run of games to take points, then a run of games to prove his qualities, I don't need him to win the league but I need him to show improvement across the piece.

Great game, thoroughly enjoyed it, almost made me wonder if I would enjoy Championship football next year, as Turnbull is the class act I will be harshest on him and say occasionally he dallied on the ball too long when he could have made a pass, but overall there were no failures. Double header for me as I will take in the women's team tomorrow at Forthbank, it's the Scottish Cup semi final and we have a chance of winning this game.

There is a quality threshold

Donnelly is doing no worse than the rest of his team mates but for me the beard is an issue.

Is Rose in?

Yes, I made that point earlier

It was an allegory, if I have got my grammatical terms correct, perhaps I was being too clever for the audience, this has been a bit like having to explain a joke which takes all the fun out of it.

Fair dos if you still don’t understand

The point being made was that our success was down to luck e.g, own goals etc, I was pointing out that other teams take advantage of fortune without bleating on about it, I described a fictitious scenario where a Jambo ignored the goals they had gained due to them being laid on a plate by their opposition, i.e. I was mimicking the ridiculousness of the original point. It had nothing to do with a replay.

You don’t understand, it’s ok

I was talking to the Hearts fan at work, he said that as one of their goals was because Bigi dawdled on the ball and another was when the entire Motherwell team had pushed forward, that they saw the game as a 2-2 draw and were looking forward to the replay

I hope he stays for 10 years and builds 3 teams in that time and at the end brings a trophy home.

Happy with the Dandy Dons in the semi

Not overly concerned about this one, there was nothing between the teams last week and they failed to overcome Livi this week. Not sure where the goal(s) will come from, are we not due a penalty?

McHugh played in defence then midfield then defence, hit the bar and had one of our only two other shots at goal, could be a contender.

Disappointing game but two weeks in a row where there was nothing between the teams other than one incident, sadly that is all it takes and in neither game were we a goal threat.

Never saw it

Everything went through Bigi again, is that a good thing?

Ach, we’re a cup team

Strange game, don’t think we are playing that well but much of the game is being played in the Aberdeen half
