Fuck that, that means Gurr will be on.

He can’t handle Raith FFS 

I see what you are saying but we need Ramsay for set pieces in the home game. Fingers crossed he can stay out of harms way

Aye. We don't have a choice whether to start him or not on Thursday but i'd consider subbing him off dependent on how its going

Well he has struggled with cramp in a number of games since we gave him his debut, If he starts on Thursday, he will be at huge risk of it in the likely 90F heat the game will be played in so you may well get your wish by default. 

[reekie_dock]

It will all end in tears 

[aberdeen1970]

Get him started. We need him. 

Better he starts and gets suspended than not play him in the first place. 

He could get injured in training any day of the week and end up not being available for the second leg anyway. 

If he does happen to get booked then play McCrorie there in the second leg.

Mostly agree but there’s one small problem - McRorie is shite and never a full back 

[South Stand Seagull]

Brown said it best in his recent interview.. to be successful in Europe you have to play against, and beat, good teams. 
we’ve been lucky with our draws - looking forward to seeing if we’re up for the test.

A was worried when i ordered a large as my home one is a bit tightish, away one seems more kinder and fits well

5”3 14 stone I am so my dimensions are bit off ???

if your normally large you will be fine.I’ve never been medium since 11 so cannot comment on that size and fit??

Cheers bud. Will plump for medium then.

??.

Well played.

Can you expand on which ones mon amie?

I'd say, McNastys, Adams lounge, Molly Malones, the draft project in Justice Mill Lane.

Sound. Adams Lounge may get the nod.

The Pitt will show it.

[Studebaker-90]

Mcnastys is always nailed on to be showing it

I wouldn't. Gurr should be nowhere near the starting line up for these games.

If Ramsay does pick up a booking, then we can come up with a new plan for the second leg that also doesn't involve Gurr at RB.

McCrorie and McLennan should now be ahead of Gurr for that postion.

McCrorie for sure. McLennan is also hopeless at RB, but still possibly better than Gurr.

Unfortunately the Atlanta connection will probably see us play Gurr far more often than he will deserve to this season in an attempt to make a point about how good the relationship is for us, despite the player being shite (ala Gallagher)

Gurr has done ok for us so far with the exception of a half against Raith. 
Let’s not write him off just yet

He'd be a decent right sided midfielder I think.  Can't defend for toffee so is nae ees at right back

Said in another thread somewhere his strength seems to be getting to the byline and wipping a cross in. Certainly isn't defending.

Dunno what games youve been watching but hes been murder every game he's played.

Same games as you I would guess but a different viewpoint.

I think Ramsay has emerged as our main RB with Gurr as his back-up and until the second half of Sunday, had been half decent. Plenty other have made similar comments, even within the first half of Sunday’s games.

It's worth signing and trying Josh Magennis at right back again instead of Gurr

More people ive seen talking about gurr agree he is in fact absolute plum. Never a professional level player in a million years. 

[aberdeen1970]

Ex Atlanta 3rd/4th choice right back is Aberdeen's second choice right back. 

Aberdeen 3rd/4th choice right back is Atlanta 1st/2nd choice right back. 

It's all a bit of a cluster fuck really.

Plenty in the match thread we’re praising his first half performance.

Yes, he fucked up the second half against Raith, but otherwise he’s been ok and I’d hope he takes that setback and kicks on.

posted on here after the Breidablik away game that he was miles out of his depth. If thats the calibre of player we think is acceptable then we are in a worse position than we thought. File next to Jeffrey Monakana.

Didn't think he was great first half against Livingston but fairly came onto a game.  Same thing happened in reverse against Raith

You’ve said twice now you noticed he was shit straight away. Don’t worry we all noticed. Chocolate watch on its way to you.

He's crap Del boy.

Just now, dazzy_deff said:

Agreed. 
 

For what it’s worth not much teams at our level would have a good second choice right back. I’d rather McCrorie played there to be honest. 

[Tord31]

Jack Gurr was always going to be Jon Gallagher MKII (or worse given he played even less in American than Gallagher) so not sure why folk are surprised.

We'll use him a few times this season and then send him to whichever division Caiden Imbert Thomas came from.

[StandFree1982]

So to recap:

• Gurr is shite, confirmed a few times by Dazzy_Deff
• The game is on RedTV
• The game will also, probably, be shown in a variety of pubs around town.
