Good news. It gives us a chance to play the 30 goal a season striker that we are going to sign next week Seriously, with the reported injury problems we could do without playing Celtic today and United just 4 days later.

Good luck big man. Like others, I thought he would be the one to make it. Hope you find a decent club and regular first team action. Really enjoyed watiching Aero taking the penalties in the 1st division.

The Covetry one was deemed illegal as I recall as it has to be a clean strike with one foot. You also can't scoop it up. Back to the Kyoto Sanga goal, was it that great ? You knew exactly what was going to happen and the run up told you who was going to strike it. He took it well to be fair, but did all of these step overs add anything to it ?

I'm not saying that at all. What I have said that there is a long time to go and a full transfer window to play out, so it is far to early to give up on a top 6 finish which is there for the taking. It may not work out, but it certainly won't if we all throw in the towel now. I think we all agree that we need a predatory goal scorer. Whether one is available and whether we can land them is another question, but if there is and we can, or if Eccleston or Doolan or Elliott gets given there chance and proves to be a goal a game man then our fortunes would be transformed.

I have absolutely no intention of giving up on a top 6 finish until it is mathematically impossible. There are 4 teams above us who are no better than we are - Hamilton, St.Johnstone, Kilmarnock and Dundee. Why should we surrender now and just give them the top 6 finish. We are no further behind Saints than we were behind Morton when we won the league. Did we give up then .... No. Do we give up now .... No. Other than a predatory goal scorer, we have the players to do it, so lets see what January brings and we can start moving upwards.

Kilmarnock Hamilton 0-0, Dundee getting beat, St. Johnstone getting beat. If we can turn this one arouind it could be a very good day to get 3 points

Now the problem is that nobody knows what would of happened if Graham hadn't dived and St. Johnstone hadn't scored as a result ? Saints might have scored anyway, so awarding points to ICT retrospectively isn't really an option. You could suggest deducting points from Saints, but any decent lawyer would argue that the club should not be punished for the misdemenour of the player, unless they specifically told him to dive. The only realistic option is therefore to punish the player, which is what they have done. I'm not condoning what he did, just pointing out that the authorities are limited in what they can do.

Unbelievable.

Dons 1 up v Killy though

Shame about that St. Johnstone goal

You were saying ?

Small group outside the ground shouting for Ally to go......he came out spoke to them and ordered them back on the team bus.

Do dogs need that much fibre in their diet ? (I'll grab my coat)

Ach well. I didn't expect anything. Sounds as if we gave as good as we got but we made one mistake that mattered and they didn't.

0-0 HT. Can't argue with that

Has anyone heard any recent reports from his Airdrie games ? Does it look like he will be coming back in January to challenge Danny and Fred

Each year he is doing better than the last. Keep doing that and we will win the Champion's League before he retires.

Would those who criticise Stevenson prefer that he was playing for Dundee/Kilmarnock/St.Mirren/St.Johnstone ? I certainly wouldn't. He may not have hit the heights expected, but how often has he been played in his preferred position. Is it his fault that he is being asked to be a lone front man ? I think we saw yesterday what he can do when playing just behind Dools. If we can accomodate that role then I think that he could prove all of the Naesayers wrong.

Adam was in napies the last time we got anything from Aberdeen. I have no expectations of this game being any different

I don't care about his political views. Can he do a job for us ?

could be 6 if it goes to a replay

If it's Ozzy, he'll be off after 10 minutes when his glass legs give in again.

BUgger me. This is against the team 4th in the league. We are up against the leaders on Saturday !

Or he could just be a closet Celtic supporter with money to burn. Now that would be funny
