Yup, Charlie Allan needs a Dons story every day, he probably wrote every word of the interview himself, showed it to Hart who probably thought "Fair dos, just bigging up my team mates" and gave the OK.

The really funny thing is how all Chalie Allan's "stories" get reguratated in Th Sun the next day by Scott Davie.

I've come to realise, slowly, that he's an important exponent of our defence - he's steady, consistent, and rarely makes errors. In fact, I can admit he's the best right-back we've had in many years. But everyone has players they're not keen on: Michael Hart is mine. I really didn't like what he was spouting off to the local press before the game at Iprix last season. We were always going to fall flat on our face after that, especially after the Glasgow tabloids got a hold of the story and twisted it. Hopefully he's learned from that!

And fear not - I'll always support him at games etc, and cheer and clap when he does something effective. And actually, I'll admit he was one of our top three performers on Saturday (along with Severin and possibly Soutar).
So you don't like him a person but appreciate his abilities? No worries about that, they're not paid to win popularity contests or be nice guys - they are there to win games.

His comments were twisted but at the end of the day he said he'd rather have Brewster over Boyd which is comedy gold.

But I reckon regardless of what he says off the field he is without a shadow of a doubt the best right back we've had in a long time.

The gasket is safe again

Charlie Allen is an even worse ref, as I found out when he took one of our school games this season. What a twat.

Talking of shite columnists (sp?), I was speaking to a former teammate of Stewart McKimmie, who told me that McKimmie doesn't actually go to any of the games that he reviews for the EE. He simply speaks to other folk who were there, and then bases his opinion on what they saw. Hardly a surprise given how terrible his columns are...

In other news: Marius Niculae got his work permit at 12pm today and will make his debut on saturday, away to Motherwell. £5 going straight on a ICT win

My passing comments to him at the end of the game was something along the lines of "If you can't be bothered trying to keep up with a bunch of 13 year olds, you shouldn't be refereeing these games". Don't think he left the center circle the whole game. Absolutely useless.

I'll die a happy man if I never see Charlie Allen again in my lifetime.

I used to cover football for the P&J, and I was quite friendly with one of the EE football writers and I can tell you that McKimmie's column is almost entirely written by Charlie Allan. Mainly to stir a bit of strife and maybe sell an extra few copies. Allan's pugnacious style is very much a selling tool. And it's been proved that people quite literally buy into it.
