I meant the right thing morally. If we have mutually agreed that he is the right person for the role and he's keen to take it and we have been progressing on that basis, then an "unforeseen" medical issue has arisen, I am comfortable that giving him the time and space to deal with whatever it is, is the right thing to do, even if it impacts on short term results and performances.4 points

There are no changes, it's the same image but with Nilsen in place of McIntyre. Like I said - it's the average positions for the full 90. I don't know how accurate it is though (source was Opta) and I don't have a breakdown for first/second half. A heat map (I should have posted that) shows Nilsen was going forward a lot more than Molloy, and Milne covering the space, so that perhaps gives the impression of a three.3 points

An article about Ash Taylors retirement from football. Worth a read https://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/sport/25889383.wirral-born-footballer-ash-taylor-announces-retirement/ "Aberdeen will always mean more" "Out of every club in my career, that was my favourite time in football. It wasn’t just about the games. It was life." What gets me is that a lad from the Wirral gets it, but we have mutants on our door step who want to sign for the huns.2 points

I think the word 'normal' can be linked to a fuckload of the problems humans have brought upon themselves. What is 'normal' to one person can be odd/ frustating/ scary/ criminal and so on to the next. It opens your eyes when you suddenly find yourself as an alleged 'adult' discussing the things your family or friend groups did in the past sometimes and pieces of an eternal jigsaw start falling into place. Perhaps the rose tinted specs fall off your memories, or you suddenly develop extreme empathy for someone you didnt get on with at school. The way humanity has and still is 'playing god' should see words like 'normal' relegated to the history books. If you have the confidence nay arrogance to declare yourself 'normal' compared to anyone other than yourself Id say start thinking a bit more. My birthday is closer to the second world war than to today. What exactly was 'normal' to someone my age in the 1940s? What was 'normal' to someone my age in the 1840s? 'Normal' can be weaponised in the same way as 'tradition' is. An excuse to hold onto something which when actually considered properly makes no sense sometimes to the detrimint of society A device to spread division for ill gotten gains and ulterior motives Brexit springs to mind. A catastrophic piece of self harm part of which was driven by the belief that 'modern britain' wasnt normal, and the knowledge that lots of people do things without taking even an extra 5seconds to consider.it. The only thing Id say is 'normal' among humans is the inevitable path to self destruction through over confidence in our own abilities and an insatiable blood lust to consume until its all gone. Be careful who you put your faith and support in and always consider 'could I handle it if what I believe and trust was ever found to be a lie/ secretly abhorrent. If yer human you will eventually become a dickhead. The only way I see to cope with that is to endeavour to be less of a.dickhead the more you learn. Anyway.politics then. Im seeing the Green bloke getting a lot of praise. Perhaps he has a bit of sense and wont send his candidates around doorstepping people with the message to protest something local which is already too late to stop. And finally id encourage you all to read 'private eye' occssionally. Its not online so can give yer eyes and brain a rest from 'Ziggy's box of distraction' and take comfort in turnimg a paper page2 points

Looks more like a cup of tea over a Sunday Post type of guy to me. Classic FM on in the background Now, if you’d said that about Salmond I’d be in total agreement2 points

If you cross correlate football fans of any club and the internet unfortunately you’ll find that. For some clubs, a prevalence of it. Fortunately, this forum appears to have avoided such types, probably due to the low volumes.1 point

If the club feel he is the right person for the role (let’s trust for a second they know what they’re doing) then I’d say it makes sense to wait as long as there is belief that it will eventually happen. I’m not keen on a knee jerk change of direction to make the back end of this season feel less shit. Suspect (fucking hope) there are two many teams between us and 11th and points gap is enough that we are safe. I also think cup games will take care of themselves, players look like they have a different attitude there and are up for defending it. I’ve got a good feeling about that one, managerless or not.1 point

I don't know who is right as I was only half watching it. But here's the average positions if these help (these are for the full 90, there's not a breakdown of first half/second half) With McIntyre on:- With Nilsen on (seemed to play in a various similar position to McIntyre):- I don't know how accurate it is.1 point

Cracking game between River Plate v Banfield. Finished 3-1 to River. Monumental looks some stadium and one that’s on the list to visit if I ever win the lottery.1 point

That’s the only logic to me. There’s a ton of experienced coaches available, including Scot’s who know the league, people like don cowie, John Hughes, Steven Maclean, no clue if they’d take an interm role but they have experience and know Scottish football, and may want the exposure. It has to be the beginning of new coaching staff arriving. Obviously ties to Norway and chance to get to know the league, the players etc. and connect with horneland.1 point

They did. I remember the PE stories about the post office well before 2011 and people writing in letters supporting the Post Office stance at that time. Investigative journalism at its best.1 point

That was exactly the reason cited by the editor at the time. To be clear- this was not the Scott Brown who cost us the title after Danny boy was recalled by Klopp to Liverpool…1 point

Trump is where he is because he’s useful, the people propping him up aren’t scared of him. If their power/wealth is at risk, they’ll quite happily sacrifice him. It does seem an unlikely outcome though when such a large proportion of the population would rather make their own lives demonstrably worse in exchange for being allowed to openly hate other races, sexualities, genders, etc.1 point

Prince Andrew and Lord Mandy couldn’t have predicted where they are at the moment. I can’t see Donald doing any time for it but I think investigating the fact the DOJ removed files that say the President of the United States is a child molester, is probably worth pursuing. It’s definitely not a ‘waste of time’1 point

Im all for it provided they dont play politics by deciding to just propose things without costing and change free to 'free at the point of service'. Then perhaps balance things out making bus/ public transport 'not for profit' and use the extra revenew from Glasgow, Edinburgh etc to subcidise services in rural areas. Of course they could also break the bullshit and and say ' right things in the sick little nimby island have gone seriously downhill since 2008. You the voters have a choice. We carry on as we are with some people genuinly not knowing that the tax in yer pay cheque is for schools, hospitals, roads and so on (a real downer for me was a conversation I had with a much younger highly educated professional who had somehow gone through their adult life thinking income tax and national insurance was just something to pay the politicians.....well we had a tory government at the time so there is some merit) or we perhaps start emulating what those crazy Danes, Norwegians, Swedes etc have been doing. Start thinking as a society and not the Thatcherite ME ME ME If a politician offers a tax cut start asking what that extra £6 a year in yer pocket will actually cost you (a school, hospital ward, dentist, GPs fire station, police station etc) If a government tells you they will freeze council tax start actually ondering how the fuck yer local authority is going pay for things after 5 years of inflation. In fact just forget the whole thing. Country is fucked, everyone loves their own echo chamber so may as well throw ourselves in front of a local bus assuming they havent cut the service before you reach the pavement1 point
