I think you've been listening to St Brendan, Rangers and the Scottish press if your takeaway from that Cup Semi is that we relied on physicality rather than playing football.

So are we signing Enzo Perez from River Plate then?

SO'D one of 6 players missing the trip to Portugal to face the Netherlands in the aftermath of John Fleck's positive Covid test. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57330350

Start away to Queens Park on July 14th, first home game v QoS on 17th before Airdrie away and Annan at home.

Johnson is well out of our range wage wise. I also seem to remember his agent was a pain in the arse trying to work the move to Oxford from the start of the 2016/17 season, putting in a transfer request and slagging off the club in the press for demanding a decent fee. While I could believe the likes of Moult may see a return to FP as a chance to rebuild his career after his injury I can't imagine Johnson would be happy to pitch back up the The Ark.

So looking like Dundee on their way back up, is a pay per game contract for Craig Tanner an option? Wheel him out when we play them, gives us 9 or 12 points on the board.

I still have nightmares about the 2 Semi defeats, the replay v Airdrie when Stuart Rennie was penalised for taking too many steps with the ball and the 'JPR Gordon' Rangers game.

Simon Mensing? Signed by Malpas for the next season but binned by McGhee before that season had even started. Scrub that, joined from St Johnstone but moved on to Accies

Now that the Accies are gone are there any of their players who could do a job? Odoffin has been impressive whenever I've seen him but I'd imagine there will be a few clubs in for him. Callachan too looks to have had his moments though he didn't really impress when he went to Hearts a couple of years back.

Mellon was having a go at the ref at the end, can't think of any decision that went against United to be honest.

I like the fight too but I'd rather we stopped looking like dugshit for large parts of most games.

For turning his man. Honestly.

That yellow for Cole was embarrassing.

Not too fussed, he was excellent in his first season but I don't think he'll be irreplaceable. As for the next 2 games our aim is to secure 7th and maximise the prize-money we get. To do that we need our best 11 out on the park, at the moment that probably includes Gallagher. If he shows any drop-off in effort tho we'll have options on the bench to replace him.

I'm sure one of the pubs in Aberdeen also used to have photos of Rangers players in the urinals. That was not long after the Neil Simpson tackle on Durrant.

Not averse to honouring our Captain from the Cup winning side. We could start a new fashion and name one of the shit-houses after him. I'm sure other ex-players could also be honoured. How about naming one of the urinal bowls after Andy Walker. Put his photo on the inside of the bowl so fans can honour him whenever they go for a piss.

And the Celtic whose fans were happy to laugh at Rangers predicament but were gutted when we cuffed them in the play-off as they weren't getting the bigots days out for another season. My in-laws are Celtic fans and the sheer seethe from them after we beat Rangers 2-0 in the League Cup Semi was worse than anything I heard from Rangers fans because they'd missed out on an OF final (especially after St Brendan had his rant about how physical we had been). 2 cheeks of the same arse, I'd love to see them head south, fail miserably and have to come crawling back with their tails between their legs. A cancer on the Scottish game and Scottish society as a whole. God knows why the English teams would want their fans anyway near their grounds. To clear out some seated sections for free for them before they fit Standing rails in those sections?

I see from the photos of training on the Club Twitter account that Big Bevis is back training after the shoulder injury, not sure if he is available for Saturday though. The big man's height could be useful against Lafferty though I still worry about his tendency to dive into a tackle, especially within his own 18 yard box.

As long as there are no seaman jokes.

Liam Kelly is ex-Livi too.

St Johnstone level.

Splitting hairs I know but, if the extension clause was still active, he could have been justified in arguing that at that point his contract was due to expire in the summer, the trigger for the additional 1 year not having been met at that time.

Stick with Kelly 100%, the higher the league position the more prize money we get. With lost income this season and a drop in season ticket income next, we can't afford to sacrifice a league position or 2 to give Morrison first team games.

Livingston also have a game against Rangers midweek, hopefully their efforts today and on Wednesday night will sap the energy levels a fair bit ahead of the game at FP.

I'd love a win too obviously but if we don't get one it's no dramas.
