Today's Diddy Games

[Jackjarvis]

He didn't get any consecutive starts and averaged 9 minutes per substitute appearance so there is an argument that he didn't get a chance. However in his last two seasons when he was out on loan in the Championship he scored 14 goals in 63 league games for Morton/St Mirren (including 47 starts) so in reality there was no real basis to give him a new contract based on how he had played (never mind his alleged stinking attitude).

I completely agree that the puddings you mention have had way too many opportunities for their clear lack of ability to perform for us (I am on record on here saying that we need to gut our strikeforce and start again - preferably in January but certainly in July) however we clearly can't keep giving a new contract to every youngster that provides no evidence he is going to be AFC level quality and at that time Shankland hadn't performed to that standard anywhere in any first team. At that time who was to say he wouldn't disappear like other youngsters released by McInnes who clearly weren't going to make the grade with us (Storie, Murray, Masson etc).

Well done to Shankland for sorting himself out and it will be interesting to see how he gets on when he gets back to playing at a higher level of football, which he will surely do either in January or July.

Sensible and accurate post, some cannot see the wood for the trees, I know what happened and like our coach I’m happy the chap has turned things around whilst playing at a lower level and is now showing the promise that made us sign him on a free from QP a few years back.

Still no sense, on topic or not.



This care in the community thing just isn't working, is it?

FFS, it is care in the community I’m attending now? along with alcohol dependency issues? any other curve balls to throw at a fellow poster on cup final eve? thankfully I don’t know you, but just from your trolling and lack of perspective........this bevied up lunatic can easily deduce you might be a tad insecure, especially if any poster disagrees with a post you have done, each to their own though and enjoy the final.

I presume you have re-read the utter drivel you posted yesterday.

Normally folk would be happy to admit that a few too many drinks had been taken.

Never mind

Once michty
Enjoy the final
Where's my washboard?

We would have been better off signing trees than the strikers we have employed since Shankland left

London Palladium awaits sir.......

Hae a wee look in the mirror and “try” and not be too judgemental.

Enjoy your day out with fellow dandies the morn, if perhaps they are partaking too much with anything, remember......do not be too judgemental......

We are all so grateful that you have supplied us with a final to go to.

That surely should be credited to DM.

[donsdaft]

Nah

He's never told me to enjoy the final

Well not 495 times he hasn't

JJ wouldn’t have been able to tell you to enjoy it if DM hadn’t tactically got us there.

[donsdaft]

Tactics?

Bloody hell.

Big Joe Lewis will be turning in his grave.

[Basingstokered]

If only he could think of some tactics on the day

[Donanddusted]

I see we softened Motherwell up for Livingston.
Teams must come away from matches with us thinking they've finally mastered their tactical plans.

[Jussi]

McInnes is the tactician of choice

for the opposition

[redscot]

I see the team that humped us 3-0 just got beat 2-0 by Livingston...
