  1. Hang on...Tommy worked with Steve Brown for 8 years (or whatever) and you're saying he walked after 6 months with KR? Is that what you're saying?
  2. As others have said, my stream worked 100% all game. It’s probably more to do with your device than the stream......the commentary, I found it ok. I actually enjoy hearing other fans view of Saints. As for them getting some saints name wrong...who cares!! They knew more about saints players than I knew about the Dunfermline ones.
  3. Yeah, for both sides. I can't think of a Saints player who didn't deserve a booking and I couldn't think of a Celtic player who should have been booked. Stumpy's came up with a couple but I can't remember those incidents....granted, I've only watched it once on a random stream. I suppose my overall point was that we (all fans) moan about refs all the time but when you look back they get more right than they do wrong. I would guess he made the least mistake of anyone on the pitch.
  4. Apart from Brown's, which bookings did the ref get wrong?
  5. and i think they wanted to play but were blocked from doing so
  6. I think he's getting there...had one really good save on Saturday!!
  7. but it wasn't automatic relegation from that division.
  8. Maybe I didn't catch it properly but I thought they said that all the subs were sitting in the terracing too.
  9. Excellent appointment from Steve and Kirsten....
  10. I'm not so sure. Do you not think Bryson's maybe happy enough to play some games and keep earning some money. He's had a lot of seasons earning a chunk of money in the championship. Holt would never have been earning anything like the money Bryson would have been on for the last 6/8 years. It also wouldn't surprise me if Bryson/Aberdeen worked out a deal that he still got a fair bit of money for terminating his contract....meaning he doesn't need to find a high earning contract now. Bit like when we got Danny from Hibs a few years ago. To be honest, there's not that many clubs he could play for...given his personal situation and Scottish football as a whole. I would be quite happy if him and Byrne signed. Either could sit in that midfield area which means that Ali could move upfield a bit.
  11. We've built a consistent top 6 team buying other people's flops.
  12. That's quite smart. I think we've got 2 decent tops this season.
  13. Yeah, I think that's why the odds are tight as they are. Even allowing for the injuries mentioned above and some of the "bad boys" not playing, anyone who thinks Aberdeen will pitch up with team of unknowns is going to be pretty disappointed.
  14. I think the fact no-one is really sure what the Aberdeen team will look like makes the game quite difficult to predict from a bookies point of view. Home win/Away win/Draw are all roughly the same price which is probably about right.
  15. Saints were favourites until this morning. Probably means most of Aberdeen's bigger players will be back in the team.
  16. I get the Sky comment but I’m struggling to think of any outlay saints would have had (that won’t carry forward to the 20th). Am I missing something obvious?
  17. Seeing a few comments on here about the DUFC stream. I thought it was excellent ...no buffering and the Utd commentary in the second half was perfectly fine. Clearly in favour of home decisions but that's ok...not overly bias. Definitely worth £12.50.
  18. I like it...socks are a bit mental but it's a tick from me.
  19. It’s in a post about 5 up from your one. Link through united TV.
  20. Parish, McNamara, McCart, Kerr, Gordon, Tanser, Spoony McCann Conway MOH Hendry
  21. I would agree with Random. Get an experienced one in for a year and get Duffy out to give him some games.

    My memories are... Scoring a penalty shootout winner against Patrick (maybe) and getting hauled across to the East Stand by Totten to get some applause. He was a bit of a target when things weren't going well. Giving his brother's name when he stopped by the police (can't remember why he did that...Did he have his brother's car or something?) Generally decent player who probably overcompensated for his lack of height by getting stuck in a bit too much. Probably not worth as much as we paid for him (£150k ish)
  23. In reality, the headline and the article don't even marry up....Roach has done a piece on the job and someone's just plonked a random (sorry Random!!) headline at the top.
  24. You knew what I meant when I said teams....for your clarity, I meant 2 x 11 players.
