RossP Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I forgot Derek Young played for Dunfermline... so it makes perfect sense now Barry should call the ref a racist, then appeal the ban for the next 9months. Seemed to work ok for Kingston...On AFC CHAT and just found his bebo page, oh dear...Derek Young <DEREKYOUNG7> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 The riot police apparently had to come in to protect the home team dug out whilst the Dons were hustled out of the stadium quick sharp.Nice friendly warm up to the seasono_O The Boys will be battle ready at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorge Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 And yet David Rowson excites you?But yes, I can see why others would find amusement in this one...If it's a straight chioce between the two, then yes, Rowson is by far more exciting, his workrate is miles ahead. Young was fucking useless last year, only scored about four or five, and lost interest when things began to go tits up.That's really cheered me up.......

Marsh Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Possibly the worst signing Jimmy could have made. That's three straight seasons in a row he's made panic signings that will eat up wages.I mean Derek fucking Young? I would have Darren back, but Derek Young? He's one of the worst "strikers" i've ever seen play for the Dons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Brewster and Young to start against the Arabs? I'll give odds of 7/4...Its not too late to get Crawford, Muirhead, Darren Young and McGuire back too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Derek Young, WTF?You can have Russell Duncan and Rory McCallister if you want!!Duncan's a good player, and I'm not just saying that because he's a distand relation of mine.

RossP Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Duncan's a good playerNo. He's really not.That is just my opinion though (and a few thousand ICT fans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give odds of 7/4...Its not too late to get Crawford, Muirhead, Darren Young and McGuire back too...I'll give odds of zero. Young won't play this season unless there is a bought of flu or something! Just cut it out - we're still trying to ocme to terms with this!!!!!!!I'd have McGuire and Darren Young back in a flash but Muirhead and Crawful are just a sick joke!

Just cut it out - we're still trying to ocme to terms with this!!!!!!!I'd have McGuire and Darren Young back in a flashReally? They'd be better than Derek Young, but I don't know if I'd have them back in a flash. Neither are better than what's at the club just now.I think Young's a bad signing, but he hasn't cost us anything and his wages must surely be peanuts after his time at Partick. So as long he's only used as last gasp cover then I'm not too bothered. Honestly. At least that's the mantra I'm going to be reciting to myself until the start of the season.

Scorge Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 and his wages must surely be peanuts after his time at Partick.I know what you're saying, but Young was signed by a (relatively) big spending spree under DC, and was easily one of our highest earners. He won't be on a king's ransom, but he won't be on peanuts either.Schadenfreude is a wonderful thing!Isnt his brother married to the chairman's daughter anyway? Explains a lot.......

RossP Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Derek must've been on the AFC Chat messageboard, because he's just set his profile as private!All the Dons fans i know slag off their manager/keeper/top scorer etc etc, so think of what abuse Derek will get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 All the Dons fans i know slag off their manager/keeper/top scorer etc etc, so think of what abuse Derek will get Definitely, it'll be an absolute character assassination.I just read earlier on this thread that you guys got Marius Niculae :sHe was utter gash in the Bundesliga last season, hope he ups his game a bit for you guys. I dunno if he was just playing out of his depth or he didn't suit the side he was playing in tactically but he looked like he had the touch of a baby elephant as well (not that it's stopped Didier Drogba's game though ).

Chris Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 All the Dons websites are apoplectic with rage at the moment. Should be an interesting crowd reaction when he makes his debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if he was just playing out of his depth or he didn't suit the side he was playing in tactically but he looked like he had the touch of a baby elephant as well (not that it's stopped Didier Drogba's game though ).To be fair he only played 6 games. Quite hard to get into a rhythm without any run in a team. He'll get that at ICT, along with a big boost in fitness level; and with Dean McDonald I fancy him to do really well. Going to the Ross County game on Saturday to see what he's like.You going to the Dundee United v. Barca game tomorrow night I take it??
