    It's actually quite obvious. I'm shocked why some people can't see it. We've gone from a club being in a play off place to a complete shambles. Over the summer the recruitment was dire and ended up with a complete rookie manager being appointed who hadn't even applied for the post. The transfer window had closed and all the money had been spent. We've been fighting fires ever since, one after the other. They continue to rage. Yet some folk think we should be doing better. We are where we are because this is a group of individual players. It's not a team. It never was a balanced team. Some of us saw it long before the season kicked off. Some of us saw it even before McCall was sacked.
    Rahic talked nothing but complete and utter shte. A conman.

    Drury said that the armband was meant to go him. So O'Connor was Vice Captain.

    No excuses for this!

    Should have him on the bench next game, sure a few would be happy to give him a special reception as he warmed up. Letting off some steam might be perversely satisfying!

    Total d!ck move. Hope the w@nker never plays for us again

    Drury said the bone was coming through his skin (unless I misheard it) so I'd think he'll be doubtful for a while, just what we need one of our better players missing for a few weeks.

    I understand it was bad management to give o'c the arm band.

    That should be discussed.

    There is no discussing what o'c did with the band though.

    He's gone, won't be tolerated.

    I thought he said it wasn’t coming through, but was a lump. Sounds like a slight dislocated elbow. We might have to wait a few days to see if it settles down.

    Am not letting him off the hook far from it . But he’s not responsible for this today is he? You didn’t have a problem with O’Connor at 3.45 today did you ? So I Carnt really see why we can point the finger back at someone who left the club nearly 3 months ago for our supposed vice captain having a disgusting attitude . Where does it stop ? Edin has ruined this club your correct but there is a few more helping it along its way

    You can now understand why David Hopkin left in such a hurry.

    He's responsible for the entire season, so yes, he is.

    Maybe he was still vice captain.
    Anyway that's still no excuse for that despicable behaviour towards the club,supporters and his fellow team mates. He was given the armband at half time so he must have accepted it, but decided to throw it away as his way of saying fcuk you like a little spoilt child.
    We don't need players with that attitude at our club, if he plays next week then every supporter should give him the worst possible day of his life, really lay into him every time he goes near the ball and then never let him near the first team again then let him rot in the reserves until his contract is up.

    Well who recruited O’Connor, this is not about ability, it’s about guts, determination, character, a never say die attitude, it’s about proving that arm band should not have been removed. Where was Rahic when he did his research on this player? Plenty around? Aberdeen fans could have given him chapter and verse. He wasn’t bothered, he was only one that would come, he gives him a 3 year contract, why? He is not a young un. If you can’t see it I will leave it.

    Turn down all bids, refuse to let him cancel his contract, and wind down his career.

    As bad as it looks.
    I almost dont blame him.
    A TEMPORARY manager, strips him of the captaincy, despite him being ever present for us this season.
    Then 45 minutes in, hes just expected to take it back? I'd be pretty pissed off especially while being smacked around by Portsmouth.



    Hes been far from one of our best for the past month.


    Only football fans can be so stubborn and stupid.
    You want to punish O'Connor by paying his wages for the rest of his contract and receiving no money for him?
