He didn't, it was one of his twenty hangers on that did it for him while he hid behind them all like he does every fucking place he goes, the shitebag racist fucking c**t. 

It was a wee wifey who sorted the green brigade oot that day Mags.

No need to post pictures of Bennett's mum, she's nothing to do with the shite he spouts here.

Considering they're a quickly thrown together stopgap solution to an injury crisis Dunne & Dikamona have been far better than we had any right to expect.

Of course, they've been  excellent all things considered. Especially Dunne, but it'll be good to see Christophe back.

[paranoid android]

Aside from missing Berra and Naismith's ability as footballers, we've also been lacking a moaning faced b*****d to be on everyone's cases on the park - be great to have Berra back for that.  

Counting the days until Naismith is back, though - some fucking boi. 

[NJ2]

For anyone interested

[Elixir]

Naisy back in three or four weeks, with Berra due back in a fortnight.

Thank f**k. It's just a shame the blip we've had in their absence will be difficult to fully bounce back from in terms of consistency. No doubt we'd have tucked away shite like Hibs and Killie otherwise if not for an unprecedented injury crisis.

"unprecedented"

[topcat(The most tip top)]

"unprecedented"

I’m assuming it’s crass sarcasm

But one can’t be sure

[Elixir]

Can't think of any other time where a side in Scotland has had their four or five best players and spine of their team out long-term at the same time.

[Dons_1988]

From 'We welcome the chase' to the 'unprecedented injury crisis of Autumn 2018'.

Didn't take long.

Yeah no other side has ever had any injuries before, m8.

Interview (en Francais) with Arnaud Djoum after the Derby

Journalist: is Scottish Football all kick and rush like we imagine?

AD: it’s different, a very direct game. Our team do play football. Tonight we forgot.

[LincolnHearts]

Still not convinced by Arnaud Djoum tbh.

Slow, ponderous, and his second touch is normally a tackle.

Would be far more effective as the defensive midfielder in front of a back four.

Never a number 10 in a million years.

A defensive midfielder ? _ _ _ koff.  That role reqires a willingness to tackle and a heart bigger than a mouse.

Just spotted that he wants a new contract. He'll just block Cochrane's development. I'm hoping the only reason that Levein is so keen to start him is in the hope that we can get a fee for him in January.

[the jambo-rocker]

I still like Djoum. He's always willing to play out of position on the flank for us for balance.  Never understood what goes through peoples head's thinking he's not good enough, but starts last night for Cameroon against Brazil.

Saying he'll block Cochrane's development is also silly; he's 17 FFS. The onus on the youth players coming through, should be to perform to a level that they usurp the more regular, experienced players and not the other way around. Levein clearly has a solid track record with youths, so I don't think we need to worry about him doing a Craig Brown keeping experienced players in for self-preservation purposes.

[NJ2]

On his day Djoum has the ability to be one of our best players. Sadly we’ve not seen enough of these days, mostly through injury and playing out of position and partially due to the form of others. I’d be disappointed were he to leave.

He was decent last time out. But come on ...... when was the last time you could say he really influenced a game ? He can’t still be getting a game based on a drag-back trick ( against Motherwell ? ) and one goal agsinst Hibs 2 or 3 years ago ! 

As for Levein’s record being good at bringing through lots of youngsters - jury’s out. He’s got to choose to play them, (not be forced by injuries) and persevere with them and improve them, for that to be true. If Cochrane and McDonald don’t start getting more game time they could easily stall. Which I wouldn’t like to see, just so that we can resign somebody who looks like they are only  getting the finger out now because it’s contract renewal time

edit:I suppose he did get that headed goal recently. Probably failed to duck properly !
