Not adverse to that line up to be honest. Noticed immediately that you had the team a man down and just assumed we were going for three red cards in a row, but this time some how the bastard in black had shown us a red during the warm up to complete the set of laughable decisions

The balance in the credit column is decreasing week on week. I really have nothing else to say right now.

Topi and adil just don't really work. Running about but achieving fuck all. Karlsson did ok on debut. Our delivery is poor, Jensen takes too long to fire it across way too often. Palaversa gave the ball away more in ten minutes than Nilsen did the whole game but somehow Nilsen gets stuck. Only positive is we looked solid at the back today.

Fingers crossed that continues

It’s been an interesting week. So far no reaction. No riots, looting, or violence we have seen in recent times when there has been a high profile shooting. Lots of talk about faith, family, love, and how we can better get along. Although it has been said that the left is the side that riots, and it’s the right this time. That could certainly change but a very different reaction to a potential ‘archduke’ moment for now.

Yer welcome.

I agree with you it’s been romanticized a little as he could come across as arrogant or condescending, but he was very confident and knowledgeable, and a very good guy. You can find a ton of stuff out there positive about him, depending on the clips you see will certainly influence your opinion of him. It was called debate because he challenged anyone to come and talk to him to discuss any topics or view points. Quite often those who came to talk to him knew very little of what they were talking about, just what they had been told to believe. He tried to help them open their minds with another viewpoint, or he asked them to really think about what they were saying and believing, and why. he went to college campuses because here, and maybe in other countries, educational institutions are very left leaning and more indoctrinating than educating at present. That’s what he fought against. He gave college kids information, an education, and viewpoints they were not being given from educational institutions. He’d argue the college kids were the activists who were being fed an agenda rather than a broad and impartial education. He’d also debate those who called him spreading misinformation as he felt it was those very people that were quite often spreading misinformation. He would elaborate a lot as to why he believed the way he did, rather than many of the college kids who believed what they were being told to believe. He challenged them to educate themselves and really think. you highlighted vaccines and he’d talk about how influential big pharma is in this country, the politicians they fund, institutions like the CDC which they fund and have/had board members, and the agenda of people and committees/organizations making decisions that were for personal and financial gain over the greater good. in USA our children are required to take so many more vaccines than Britain for example, and the health of the country is tanking while Parma gets very rich. Something is off and he’d expose that. He discussed the covid vaccine as a perfect situation where it was pushed, mandated in places, because people benefitted financially, not because it made a significant positive difference. People got very rich. This has been debated a lot in congress of late and the effects of the vaccine, tough for some people to hear or accept. he'd discuss illegal immigration. We have laws here that were not being inforced. Why have laws? This country is so much in debt and illegal Immigration is over extending resources such as housing, healthcare, education etc., as well as the increase in crime. he pushed an agenda of American/citizens first, rather than a party who appeared to prioritize illegals over ‘hard working’ legal citizens. A lot of people support that. hed discuss illegal immigration and the effect on population, and how voting and governmental seats are decided. I referenced this earlier this week. He discussed that the left are targeting immigration as a way of realigning districts and the allocation of seats. An ongoing issue here that both parties have exploited, and continue to exploit. He’d expose that and show how illegal immigration can buy votes, showing those who may not have been aware. A lot of people don’t understand how that works in America and the effect of an influx of people can have on the voting community. hed discuss crime. If someone committed a crime they were taken away from their family. If they are illegal and commit crimes they get deported. That may take someone from their family too but crimes are crimes and he’d talk about enforcing laws for the greater good of a country. you and I clearly have different beliefs but Kirk created a venue for debate and discussion, something that doesn’t happen a lot at the moment. No clue where you live but I’ve seen Kirk a lot and I certainly don’t see him as the guy you present. he gave the other side and sometimes people didn’t like how he did that but, in today’s society, people quite often can’t handle another viewpoint regardless of how it’s presented. He pushed discussion between differing viewpoints, presented an argument that quite often isn’t popular or gets shot down as misinformation because it doesn’t fit the narrative, and was killed for that.

Devlin is suspended .

You were doing so well until you transformed into Dave Cameron

I would say that’s a very romanticised view of what he did. He never debated in good faith, there was never an openness to consider differing viewpoints, only pushing his own agenda (rooted in disinformation), mostly on people who were not equipped to “debate” with him. Plus the whole “debate me” schtick seems to be just the window dressing on what his Turning Point organisation was actually doing. Lots of prominent people in academia and journalism coming out saying they were targeted with harassment campaigns designed to silence them. Not saying that excuses what happened to him but he wasn’t just some politically-curious young man with a passion for debate. He was an activist for an agenda that will result in human death and suffering whether it be removal of healthcare, removal of access to safe abortion, consequences of false demonisation of vaccines, rhetoric on acceptability of gun deaths, and the general approach to diversity and immigration that will have lasting effects on millions of hard-working families.

I’m very excited for tomorrow, as if it’s the first game of the season. I’d really like to see gyamfi karlsson and lazetic start tomorrow. Thelin said everyone is fit but not all are fully match fit, Armstrong wasn’t with a club so I’d say we may not see him tomorrow. Nisbet hasn’t played a lot either so off the bench makes sense. As you say, too many changes isn’t ideal either. Was said earlier in the week, milanovic may be on the bench since he’s travelled, so maybe topi in the right. with karlsson on the left and having familiarity playing with sivert, wonder if we see the experience of sivert and shinnie in the middle with karlsson adil and topi behind lazetic. We’re young too so experienced leaders in the middle may be wise to start. i think we see goals tomorrow.

Be interesting to see who starts up front. Yengi does have the most minutes under his belt. There's every chance he starts with Lazetic and Nisbet coming off the bench later on. Also, I wonder if Thelin will be swayed by letting him play against his brother. There is also the fact we might have a few new faces tomorrow - maybe too many - and Thelin won't want to throw them all in at once. But it's the first time in a long time that we've got some excitement around new signings, may even have boosted the ticket sales slightly. Keen to see Karlsson, a bit more of Lazetic, maybe even Gyamfi if fit enough, and even Armstrong in an Aberdeen shirt is intriguing. But just win Aberdeen, because I'm sick of the negativity, pundits tipping us for the bottom six and people questioning Thelin's shelf life. Can't be arsed with another week of it. As someone else said further up the thread I think - the season starts now.

It's always about power isn't it, never the people. Re conspiracies I did ponder yesterday that the biggest beneficiary of Kirks murder is actually Trump. Why? Well, we ain't heard Jeffrey Epstien mentioned much since it happened..........
