  1. Sounds like we could be in with a chance as Montgomery is apparently out. I'm heading into town shortly, I'll see if I can nick a traffic cone to replace him.

  2. Can you give examples of the Donald's having guts? Can you also put together an algorithm which can accurately predict how previous owners would run the club based on the current financial football climate?

  3. The Donalds had the guts not to speculate to accumulate. We had zero debt until Milne came on the scene. It's a question of how much you're willing to speculate. Hearts speculated significantly in the early part of the century and went bust, winning only a couple of cups in the process. Would that be the level of speculation? Operating regularly with wages more than turnover? How long for, and to what end? Would you agree that using hearts as a benchmark, we'd likely have to spend more than they did? What does speculate to accumulate even mean in the context of the current spfl? Would you be willing to accept gradual progress, or do you want it right now? You see, the problem that you have is the accumulate part of the equation. The level of speculation required to win the league is far more likely to see us going bust rather than to accumulate returns. The Huns are running at a ~£10M loss yearly and haven't yet reached the champions league - i.e. there has been no accumulation. Do you really want the Dons to carry that level of debt? I don't. But let's be honest here, you're not asking us to speculate to accumulate at all. You're asking Cormack to spend his own money, at his own risk, chasing a goal with extremely long odds very little return. Just be honest.

  4. Here's hoping Montgomery is out for the rest of the season. Then never EVER borrow another player from our lords and masters.

  5. Every club has a bad spell from time to time. It's life as a fitba fan. We have just come off a spell where we qualified for Europe seven years in a row. Do you think Rangers fans enjoyed the third division or Man City fans liked having to be in a play off with Gillingham? If you want to see your team win 8-0 every week and cannot accept defeats just buy a Bayern Munich shirt and stop watching the Dons.

  6. Yep, I’m happy with McCrorie extending. I think his strength is actually his weakness in many ways. He’s a good utility player, having been moved from midfield to right back to centre half to cover injuries and squad deficiencies. I still think we will see the best of him in a defensive midfield role as we’re not getting the best out of him in defence. He’s done a good job helping the team to his own detriment I would say. he reminds me of the type of player Phil Neville was, admittedly not as good but, similar in his ability to do well in a few positions when the team need him.
