I'm not trying to start an arguement, i just meant that I prefer watching an open ended attacking game to a defensive one where the players energies are spent trying to nullify the attacks of their opponents as opposed to focussing on their own.

I'm sorry if that offends you in any way

Which is fair enough. Just can't stand tools who sing his praises one minute then yelp "JIMMY OUT!" as soon as a result doesn't go out way.

Decent hold-up play and he's good at bringing others into the game... brings a lot more to the table than Mackie & co. in my opinion.

I think Brewster was a pretty good piece of business when he was brought in. Not only is he useful on the pitch, but he's an invaluable influence upon the players behind the scenes, I'm sure. This man knows the game well and, I feel, will be added to the coaching staff at the end of this season on a full-time basis. Obviously, being 41 years old, he won't start many games - but he'll do good when we need him most this season.

I'm still confident Aberdeen will put a run together to push us into the top six before the split, but I doubt we'll be challenging for third again. But so long as we get a cup run, this won't bother me too much.

To try and take your mind off Sunday, here is the Scotland squad for Pittodrie friendly against South Africa next Wednesday

SCOTLAND A SQUAD
Goalkeepers
Neil Alexander (Ipswich Town)
Craig Gordon (Sunderland)
David Marshall (Norwich City)
Allan McGregor (Rangers)
Defenders
Graham Alexander (Preston North End)
Russell Anderson (Sunderland)
Gary Caldwell (Celtic)
Alan Hutton (Rangers)
Jay McEveley (Derby County)
Stephen McManus (Celtic)
Steven Pressley (Celtic)
Midfield
Scott Brown (Celtic)
Darren Fletcher (Manchester United)
Stephen Pearson (Derby County)
Barry Robson (Dundee United)
Gary Teale (Derby County)
Forwards
Craig Beattie (West Bromwich Albion)
Kris Boyd (Rangers)
James McFadden (Everton)
Shaun Maloney (Aston Villa)
Kenny Miller (Celtic)
Garry O’Connor (Birmingham City)

Weir is probably being rested as he has Champions League games and is getting on a bit. Perhaps Big Eck has noticed that Hartley is pish. Ferguson will be rested, as Eck will need to try a new midfield for Lithuania, since Bazza is suspended. Naismith is in the Under 21 team. Gary Naysmith I take it will be rested as well? No Seve? 4 keepers? Good to see Robson called up. Get Hutton right out of that squad!!

Thats my thoughts.

Eck is giving him more time to make a decision.

James Morrison from WBA will be getting called up as well, but they are just waiting on the relevant paperwork to go through FIFA

Killie...2 Arabs...1

Ya fucking dancer!!!

Apparently we were on a loss until the ref sent Kalvenes off for what looked like a perfectly clean tackle.

Tough on United, but I'll take the three points any way I can get them.

Fair enough, just seemed like you'd contradicted yourself, sorry.

I had £5 on Killie winning 2-1, purely based on the fact that Billy Dodds said it would be. If you go on the bbc website, he predicted every single SPL game's outcome this weekend, including the exact Killie score, ICT v. Motherwell score, and Dons v. Hearts scores.

Writing him an email just now, thanking him for making me a rather large sum of money.

Next week i'm going to put money on what ever he says!!
