Just to clarify it was the first one of their 9 in a row.

Yep! I was at that game. Ball bounced off Boby Lennox's knee in about the 90th minute, at end where copper stand is now

Don't know enough about McCourt to pick either way but for me it's not about how long you can play it's about how much you contrubute or can affect the result while you are on the park. You need to prevent goals against us or make/score goals for us. Not point in being able to run around for 90 mins if you are not having an effect on the outcome of the game. if you can play for 30 mins a game and make/score goals, I would take a player like that if he fits in our budgeted salary structure. I have no idea if McCourt could deliver the goods on a consistent basis to warrant signing him but in general if we could get a player to perform for 30 mins and contribute significantly in those 30 minutes I'd take that player.

I have no clue how the discussions went but I would assume that we offered reduced terms but Faddy knocked it back? Certainly a possibility. I would hope we at least did that. I would have been happy with him signingin on again taking up a "regular" wage but I can see where we just couldn't justify another season of additional expense, all be it from outside budget, based on his injuries and performances. Still, never say never, stranger things have happened........................add your cliche here

whether it's him or the product it would appear not to be working so time to try another. we seem to be lazily just copying england and that doesn't seem to be working

Sounds like he should be able to do the job then ! So is it him or the product?

There was a lot of concern on here over Flow's qualifications for the position he now holds. I've been away a long time so I was wondering what are Doncaster's qualifications that enabled him to take on that position?

For us we have to win 3 rounds to get into the group stages, right?

yes that statement containing world class threw me a bit as well......................thought I had got onto the Aberdeen forum or something

Same here plus every now and again I'll just yell out "Yaaaaassss"

Is that FACT or your opinion?

While I get the sentiment behind the statements, performing well in the league and winning the cup are not mutually exclusive so hopefully McCall can pull another great season out of the bag AND a Scottish cup win. I mean I'll take a league cup win but would rather it was the Scottish cup. Hopefu;;y when it comes around to cup time again the memory of how we exited the cups wil spur the players on so that we don't get any repeat performances in the knockout competitions. Having said the above i'd gladly swap a good season for a decent run in europe by that I mean not just reaching the group stages but actually making it through the group stages.

Perhaps some of you punters with more time on their hands might want to post the top 10 most outrageously wrong posts from this past season. I know that some are better are dredging up dirt than others lol COYW Look out Europe, here we come again!

Our 4 draws this year were as below I think....plenty of goals for the fans. Hibs and celtic 3 - 3 DU and Aberdeen 2 - 2

It was said McCall learned form last year and players wil be given deadlne. I hope that deadline hits soon so we can dispense with rumours etc We wil lknwo who we are keeping and can focus on bringing in some players. I find it alot easier to deal with rumours of incoming players rather then outgoing possibilities.

I havn't even gone bak to look wher the free kick happened and wher eit was taken from but I am sure it wuold still ahve ended up in a goal mouth stramash anyway. but i do find it very strange why none of the papers are saying it should ahve been a pnealty anyway. you could just palce that still of Vernon and Hutchy under that back apge headline "why is this not a foul"

Tend to agree with that. They both went up the both contacted they both fell why should it be a foul for the keeper? Not like he remotely had posession of the ball

I hope they can let us know who is going and who is staying, pretty quickly, so that we can enjoy the wait to see who migh join us. I hate the whole indecision thing about who is leaving.

here it is

So why do they keep ignoring the blatant incident right before the langfied incident when te Aberdeen defenderwas doing a horse collar tackle (as its calledkn NFL ) onHutchie? An obvious PK call.

What? You mean you said something before? Sorry , wasn't paying attention.

I don't see the challeng as being a clear cut foul and as stated in other thread ( or shoutbox ) Before the ball got there one of the aberdeen defenders was hauling Hutchinson back by the scruff of the nexk. Great still shot of it in one of the threads. So if they want to go by the book it should ahve been a PK to us.

Nice shot. But probably will be ignored by the sheepies as they continue to whine about the challenge on Langfield. either way we are 2nd!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Is McFadden fit for tomorrow? I assume it will be the same squad as against Caley except for Moore. Who will step in for Moore and if needed for McFadden ?

From the games and highlights I have seen combined with reports I would go for Sutton. As has been mentioned I don't think he has had as good service as Higdon got and to ahve scored 22 goals is a great achievement. Higdon scored some great goals last season but I am can't really recall Sutton scoring any great goals but he has been excellent at just being in the right place at the right time to get the ball in the net. I think that's something you have or you don't and big handsome has got it. COYW Get in about these dons.... hat trick for big John Sutton!
