  1. When he signed I had this weird feeling he wouldn't finish the season. More because I thought he'd play a few games, get injured, struggle at his age for fitness, and eventually retire. I didn't obviously see Glass being sacked so soon and Brown wanting out. I'd liked to have seen him stay. Looking ahead to next season he's probably not in our starting XI, but he would still be a very decent back-up, would be an asset as a coach, and it's a strong leader in the dressing room. A lot of people on Twitter rewriting history and making out he's been a waste of time as a player. That's just not true - was very good in a lot of games in the early part of the season. But like I said on another thread - I think he played too much. Glass built the midfield around him and you can't do that with a 36-year-old. Became a bit of a liability of late - especially v Motherwell and Hearts. Shame we didn't get to see him lead us out at Hampden. But, think we've a good captain in waiting in Ross McCrorie.

  2. Can we please just appoint him captain now? Good boost for him and he should be our leader. Lewis isn’t having a great season, is on the decline, and isn’t ultimately captain material anyway. Certainly looks a little bit of a lamb between the sticks these days, and wouldn’t be totally surprised if we keeper shop this summer as well. Ross just signed a new deal and certainly looks a natural captain to me.

  3. Good, all the glee at him winding up Kent enough to get him sent off didn’t really sit well with me, too much old firmy pandery nonsense for me. We should be above all of that with our own players who hate the Huns for moral reasons, not religious reasons. He can take his pointing and his little shorts and fuck off to obscurity in Cyprus with his drinking buddy. Let’s kick the tyres on Graeme Shinnie instead, doesn’t seem to be getting much of a look in at Wigan since signing for them. One of our own. I can get behind him kicking cunts in the air without feeling dirty.

  5. I think you're right. However, if I'd said to you at the end of last year that there was a Russian billionaire looking to invest serious cash in the Dons, what would you have said? I suspect you, and plenty of other Dons fans would be loving it. Just as there are many in the North of England happy to suck from the teat of middle Eastern dictators. People who are directly responsible for deaths occurring right now. Morals go out the windae when money is promised. The morons shouting about Ibrox disaster (I'd possibly have been one 25 years ago) aren't the club directors who watched on as the stadium was allowed to get in a state of disrepair, ignored warnings and then took virtually zero blame, they're just thick people who think what they're saying is banter. They're not the poison in our game, they're utterly meaningless. Just as the Huns that sing their sectarian bile aren't the real problem, the club that has spent the last decade since its inception stirring the pot, winding them up, encouraging and showing an utter lack of humility is. I think Aberdeen could do more though, and perhaps you should contact them about it. I'd love to see them get their media team on it and make a video in direct response to those fans singing their pish. Interview the victim's families and try to really imagine what that mean if AFC were in that position with interviews with our own fans. I don't believe that those singing about the Ibrox disaster have ever really thought about the disaster itself. I suspect many would show considerable empathy if challenged. The singing is merely their ego. It's like competitive edginess. Trying to push the boundaries of acceptability - stupid rather than poisonous. I suppose it's the original form of trolling.

  6. Couldn't have summed up my thoughts any better mate. Best move for both parties. I assume we are not paying him off.

  7. Apparently on his way, terminated contract. Probs for the best, I certainly wouldn't describe his signing as a failure but this is probably best for both parties now glass has left. Frees up a big wage too
