Tav and wes are getting better all the time

More than just a comfortable second, we would be breathing down Celtic’s neck...

Right!, heading off now, c'mon Rangers just do these sheep bastards

Written by: Nathan Robert Tuesday, 23rd January 2018 Several news media sources have continually printed lies, half-truths and misunderstandings about the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012. The legislation is itself a half-baked quagmire pushed through with little thought given to the civil liberties of citizens. The purpose of this short article is to clear the air with regards to several aspects of the legislation, as a means of protecting Rangers fans from unjust prosecution. The information presented has been acquired from Police Scotland through a series of freedom of information requests. http://www.vanguardbears.co.uk/article.php?i=174&a=offensive-behaviour-at-football-act-2012---what-you-need-to-know

We need to finish above them in the league to legitimately claim that

Simply loveleh , in fact simply outstanding

Another game with me wondering what Aberdeen have to do to get a player booked.

I'm strangely happy with the Docherty move -- it seems to tick a few boxes. Now it is up to him to do the job on the pitch.

An admirable sentiment.

I would like us to keep him and play him if we knew when his top class defender attitude was switched on. The problem is that we just never know and that will cost us. He has the ability, but not the consistency and that's not good enough for our first eleven. I don't think he's willing to take a backup role.

All of them have been open to supporters so far, so no reason for this one not to be pete

All signs point to it going through today (though I don't think the player will feature as he's injured).

Losing Jack and McCrorie does leave us light in central midfield (in terms of more combative players). I guess this is why Halliday was brought back and why Rossiter seems to have his recuperation stepped up. Goss looks a good player but I suspect he's more suited to games where teams are sitting in and we need to create stuff as opposed to battling the likes of Shinnie and Brown. Tonight will give us a good idea of how Murty intends to address this.

I just wouldnt bet on pulling away.

Well that being the case he has no ambition aside from building a retirement fund. Hubz is actually a better job for someone like him in anyw ays. They don't have the impossible delusions of grandeur the sheep have had since a brief purple patch under SAF 30 years ago. Hubz actually have some scope for improvement while having no illusions of being a title contender while they think they're contenders which they will absolutely never be again.

No arguments from me, Although I don't buy into the cult of personality that surrounds his managerial ability. I'm glad he's not with us, as tonight has shown, he has no plan B and every now and then, no plan A.

They're scarcely third best in Scotland. Their fans are so far out of touch with reality they were declaring they had a better transfer window than us. And that somehow it's "agent McInnes" fault that we beat them. The reality is we're simply a far better team and another reality is I will never understand why McInnes decided to stay with them. They have no respect for him and it's a dead end job for any young manager with real ambition.

we looked impressive........brains and player upgrade

Tavernier is having a MASSIVE game !!

How the hell was that not a pass back ??

Did Corinthians not bring their A-team, albeit in their pre-season?

Don't forget Martin can give good cover at right back, rather than just be a third choice CB. That means Tavernier can move forward.

I thought Halliday gave us a bit extra drive in the Florida Cup, and given the absence of Jack and McCrorie, I wonder if he might be in with a chance of starting tonight against a very physical team. I'd also start Bates at the back - Aberdeen are very direct and play lots of long balls... exactly the stuff he seems to revel in.

Delighted if this agent-planted story becomes true. Was happy when he signed but 2.5 years of dross with a few good games theown in just as contract talks are starting is not the sort we want hanging around. The "Ricksen effect" - play well within yourself (polite talk for garbage) until your deal is nearly up, play your best stuff until your new deal is signed, and then revert back to type. The only thing wrong in all of this is us offering him a new contract at all, and not trying to move him on for a fee when we moved the other half of the bumble bros (Kiernan) in the summer. In no huge fan of Martin given his Scotland performances (thats all i've seen of him), but if he is coming in and Wilson is going out and there is not much difference in wages, we have improved the first team for free.

I'd keep Wilson. Like Ian, I have my doubts over him (his concentration at times is dreadful) but he's also a top class defender when he turns up. Add in his club-trained status then that's useful for European squads.

Seems there may be some truth in the "Wilson out" rumours, according to @estconsultancy on twitter. However he is still in negotations about a new deal. I'm assuming there have been inquiries to his agent given he's soon to be out of contract.

I don't think ourselves and that lot need more advantage.

Think he's just a tad nervous which is understandable.

The level of support is rendered meaningless in the modern game. TV support not fans on terraces is they key factor. Norwich reject? Norwich were on a financial level we can only dream of when in the EPL and would still have been with zero support.

So he gets sent off three times for not very much and someone ends his season and doesn't even get booked. Must be down to jealousy.

You've jinxed it.

Standard practice for a young player now.
