Big Stall

I wouldnt put too much faith in what one of their fans said. Could have been the steelboy or Dewell of QOS

Since when was that a steelmenonline prerequisite for judging playing ability??

With Lionel suspended for the first two games, Dom might have the opportunity to put in a real claim.

That is probably a very accurate way to describe it. The reality is, we don't know the quality of these guys coming in and we don't know if they will settle and bed in. We could all get excited thinking we are getting 6 Marvin level signings in! However 6 Josh Laws wouldn't get us top 6 and 6 Stakers.......... Going to be interesting seeing what Barraclough can do though.

2nd is probably getting ahead of ourselves, but given the form we have shown since February, added to Barraclough getting a summer to get his ideas ingrained and new signings in, I don't expect us to be in the bottom two next season. Now that might be wishfull thinking......

Barracloughs planning on winning the league remember

Without getting ahead of ourselves, would be funny if Barra put together a team who could put in the best challenge to Celtic and left Aberdeen in our wake....... Again

No email for me and i bought the season ticket 3weeks ago. Paid in full.

Punted by Dundee was he? Christ

When Ainsworth is on, he is one of the biggest weapons anywhere in this league. Barraclough just needs to work out how to get consistency out of him. If we can get him, it will be a major plus IMO.

And our form against Rangers was shite until the playoffs.

A few years back Sweden had an away top with a "diagonal stripe/sash" on it and it was a belter of a strip IMO

Not sure if he ripped anyones defence apart last season??

Aside from the fact that he's close to done and was punted by St Johnstone, I can't see him fitting into Barracloughs style of play. Its obvious the manager wants to play the pressing game and utilise pace to break teams. As much as I love Faddy, I'm not sure he's what we need.

Barraclough said last week that Skippy loved it here but had plenty options. He then said if theres a chance of getting him back we will pursue it.

A bit disappointed to be honest, not that we are losing someone who has been superb, but that we are losing someone who has shown real development in the last 6 months. Compare his end of season performances with those when he first started getting regular first team games and you can see the progress the lad has made. I reckon another 6 months to a year playing for us would see his worth increase dramatically. Regardless, he helped us stay up so all the best Lee.

Still love my canterbury away pin stripe number from a few years back

I noticed yesterday that the Accies pitch is currently being dug up. It's only a year old, maybe these things only have a short shelf life.

Loves it or not, i imagine in Aberdeen come in and offer him and extra grand or two a week, he'll be offski

As much as Lionel is a frustrating pain in the arse at times during the season, I'll be quite gutted if he goes. When he's 'on', the rest of the league find him unplayable.

I think you get them whenever they are sent out.

As much as 'its a disgrace' and all that..... I thought it was brilliant that wee Lionel just breenged in and lamped him!

Aye but mind, Higdon was shite too.......

Hopefully the Baraclough - Moore relationship is salvagable. The fact he got playoff time suggests the manager hasn't written him off

Got to agree, keeping Lionel would be a good thing. After a few sessions on the bench, he and Barraclough seem to understand each other well. Hopefully they have a decent relationship and he would be happy to stay.
