i'd be extremely disappointed if we released watt without him getting any game time. whenever i've seen him he looks to have ability and a few tricks in his locker.
-
he was hardly a no mark, he played in la liga and ligue 1 and got 40 caps for a strong morroccan sidea and started at the world cup. he was a class above the guys he played with when he was here.
-
i wouldn't swap sustained success for one cup win. most of mcleish's reign and the malpas saga were torture and it gets you down going to watch a team that isn't likely to win or even put in much of a performance every week. it used to be a banker that we would lose away to the city clubs, now we go through expecting to win. a cup win would be great and the atmosphere in the town after the last semi win was incredible but the euro trips have been brilliant and unforgettable as well.
-
that's the entire point. he wants the security of a contract at fir park but also a low buy out clause if any club down south shows any interest. considering our financial position i doubt we are setting the bar very high, it would be interesting to know how much he thinks he should be allowed to leave for. falkirk got £65,000 for pressley.
-
going by the herald article he wants a contract that he can walk away from at the drop of a hat. good to see the club don't seem to be giving him whatever he wants.

the sfl seem to want colt teams as part of their side of the bargain. they probably see long term value in it for the clubs in the bottom two leagues, if the bottom 18 teams are only getting 30-40 grand a year central cash then home games against the colt teams could increase that significantly. would the spl teams refuse the merger on the grounds of colt teams? if the financial reality of the status quo is as bad as they are saying then i don't think they would.
-
colt teams - i don't think they should be in the league but if the sfl clubs want them it's up to them. if they are in the league then they should be considered separate from the parent team and players should only be able to move between teams in the transfer window. i don't think the old firm will be leaving anytime soon or if they do they'll be funding spl teams on top of their english/atlantic teams. league construction - i've made my point on here and to dempster and weir that i'm strongly against zeroing points and splitting after 22 games. prize money - i don't like the changes but i think they'll either be due to aberdeen being dicks or the problems of changing the rules midseason. if we don't see the changes we want before rangers return on voting and prize money i'll be as angry as anyone else.
-
colt teams are a decision for sfl clubs not us.
-
we'll find it very, very difficult to qualify for europe if we don't make the top six.
-
they are a bawhair away from it being mathematically impossible.
-
that what looks like has happened. the diddy clubs get together to make the distribution fairer but aberdeen say no. the other ten then meet with celtic to at least get some re-distribution through.
-
good win and a good battling performance 2nd half. Omar stole the show with his cameo
-
israelis have the same problem to be fair.
-
great claims from mad vlad that he is going to start driving a taxi now that his business empire has went bust. going by some of his rants he is ideally equipped for the job. he'll be kicking himself for not squirreling millions into offshore accounts
-
there was a wee fat guy of about 11 to the right of our section who stood waving a palestinian flag at the well support for a good 10 mins before kick off on jan 2nd. bizarre.
-
cummins. our best player by miles in the first half and solid in the second half. after his nightmare against celtic in the first round of games - scoring an og, giving away a pen, getting sent off - he was superb.
-
there is nothing in that statement that's not true. according to the bookies we were likely to end up 7th tonight, thankfully we're 2nd.
-
if you are correct about that table it would mean our final five games pre-split would be against the bottom five teams.
-
i hope and think that we will finish top six. however if we do end up in the bottom six (which is where we'll be tonight if we lose, st johnstone avoid defeat at dundee and the hibs-killie game isn't a draw) it will have been an extremely disappointing season considering our poor efforts in the cups and will also have a big knock on effect on our budget for next season.
-
i would expect him to quit if we finish bottom six.
-
murphy scored 9 of his goals playing through the middle even though he spent the majority of time on the left
-
I'm happy enough with higdon at the moment. You have games like Tuesday and killie when he'd be as well sitting in the stand with a pie but when he is getting chances he is putting them away. We'll see what he does in the next three games, grant Munro has owned him in the two games so far, he has been rubbish in every game against the old firm and he hasn't kicked a ball in the two games against hearts this season. We badly need a second goal threat but McCall looks like he is planning to waste Faddy out wide the same way he did with murphy.

Complaining about the price after paying someone else is just as daft
-
You can get adult and child for 24 I'm sure. Moaning about the cost after choosing the most expensive option, very good.
