Derek Adams propensity to waste time and then complain about time being added on should not obscure the fact that he is a remarkably productive football manager. Ross County, from Dingwall, population 5,000, are sitting fourth in the SPL and remain in touching distance of a place in Europe. No need to highlight their Scottish Cup campaign in 2010.
It is, therefore, no surprise that Aberdeen have asked Ross County for permission to speak to him. On the face of it, Aberdeen should fancy their chances of recruiting Adams but County are confident for a reason. SPL, and in Owen Coyle’s case First Division, managers have been recruited by well-paying English clubs at levels the likes of Aberdeen cannot compete with. County chairman, Roy McGregor, is likely to advise Adams to hold off for a more lucrative move south.
When Jimmy Calderwood left Dunfermline for Aberdeen in 2004 chairmen John Yorkston explained his surprise at Calderwood heading north, explaining that he believed one day Calderwood would move to Ibrox. Aberdeen proved to be a plateau for Calderwood, as it has been for most over the last couple of decades.
If they don’t get Adams chances are they will go back to Motherwell; back-to-back second place finishes are exactly what is needed at Pittodrie right now.
Best of luck to Gordon Strachan on his first competitive game as Scotland manager tonight.

Evening Bhoys & Ghirls
For those bhoys that have been missing the Friday night footie quiz, an abridged version will start after the Scotland game around 9:45pm and will finish around 10:30pm.
Hope to see a few quiz bhoys then?

midfield maestro –
Hope to see you on the Gold Coast next week.
I will email you later.
When do you fly out?
Che, you know it doesn’t, it makes Sandaza money grabbing hypocrite, with no principles.
But at least he has the sense to take any opportunity to get out of dodge that he can.
No-one forced Sandaza to talk, does anyone else laugh at Robin Galloway on the radio when he dupes people and makes them look and feel stupid?
Dirty one on Joe there by Snodgrass
CRC, that ridiculous, there is no way I’ll be coherent enough to achieve mid-table mediocrity by then.
Doc.
Don’t start agreeing with me after all this time

I am keeping fine. Coming to Scotland on 13 April for 2 weeks. Will meet up with you over Easter anyway.
Take care mate.

Leave Glasgow 8.45pm Thursday, arrive Brisbane Saturday 7am.
Staying at Vibe Hotel in Surfers Paradise Sat to Tues. Would love to buy you a thank you beer from me & mrs mm if possible.
T4,Timescale tonight is irrelevant, I have an empty, boots being filled, or glasses of red at least. First one, lovely, bottle that is.
Quite a one-sided game so far. Wales totally dominant – if anyone’s interested. Well, there’s nothing else on.
I missed this ;-) from my last reply.
Scotland’s tackling more from the McCall than the Strachan school so far.
What club does Hanley play for? Never heard of him….
T4
midfield maestro –
Looking forward to meeting you all. Would you like me to pick you up at the airport on Saturday? It would be no problem and I live just along the coast from Surfers Paradise.

Scotland desperately dire so far. Lucky not to be behind.
Snodgrass won’t last the game. WGS will need to hook him.
unbelievable how nervous the scotland team are tonight, they have not strung three passes together all game, if scotland can get to half time 0-0 i’d be very surprised, they’re terrified of bale
CRC, my address is a well kept secret for just that reason, however if you bring that bottle you can come round.
T4
He has had 4 managers so far this season
Misser missed. Quelle surprise!
SOAL, that’s more managers than clean sheets, or away wins.
Grant Hanley- looks like Caldwell on steroids. Who is he again?
Last time I saw this much possession I wiz watchin The Exorcist!
Miller just over (age)….
Doc
Is he a Bed wetter?
Doc – cheers, enjoy yer empty. In similar circumstances, I usually do myself a wee steak with Diablo sauce and a good bottle of red….after a couple of beers of course! :-) hic!
T4
So this Scotland defence, can we call it the Sieve?
tom
Thanks for the offer. We have transport arranged. Will meet for a beer if near you. Going to theme park one of our three days, have to keep 11yr old interested. She is looking forward to climbing Sydney Harbour Bridge, mind you, so am i.
Finland doing a Scotland and hanging on at 0-0 with 40mins gone away to Spain!
