tup Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Young's a good player, no frills, but he gives it everything, every game. Not dis-similar to Steve Tosh, who had cult hero status here. He's a better captain than Diamond for certain. Who else is there, at the moment in any case, to take on the job of harrying their teammates? Good decision.

K-9 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 To me it doesn't read anywhere near saying Young will be skipper. Just says Young to go in and fill Hartley's (who happens to be injured skipper) role.  the headline says it but this is the EE mind you. Think will wait for full article to see what is actually said. Surely Diamond will be captain.  Edit: Scrap that - Diamond is suspended!! Link to comment

Jazzer_Bett Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hope Jazzer Bett has a good read of this article I was about to say, well done to Dezzy - call it a loyalty bonus if you will.  He's been a prefect for a while now I suppose so its turn to be House Captain. Best season was 10 years ago. Link to comment
K-9 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Assume this means Brown will be offering Young a new deal since clearly sees him as influential in our squad. Link to comment
onlyjim Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Assume this means Brown will be offering Young a new deal since clearly sees him as influential in our squad.If he continues to play the way he has since Brown came I think he well deserves a new deal. Link to comment
tup Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Assume this means Brown will be offering Young a new deal since clearly sees him as influential in our squad. He is influential though, undeniably. Calderwood got slagged to ribbons, sometimes justifiably, for filling the squad with such players. When he left we got rid of a substantial number of them, and replaced them with players unfamiliar with SPL football. Things got markedly worse, rapidly. There's a lot to said for journeymen who know Scottish fitba inside out, and there's few bigger journeymen (who know Scottish fitba inside out) than Derek Young. I'd give him a new contract for sure on that basis and also for the fact he won't be onerous on the wage bill.

vanderark14 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Well done Derek Young if he gets the arm band, he has the club at his heart and gives his all. Any time I have made it to pittodrie over the last 3 seasons he's done well Link to comment
K-9 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 If he continues to play the way he has since Brown came I think he well deserves a new deal.I would aswell. Cheap and great cover. Link to comment
paddy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 No other choice in the squad really. Good luck to him. He will be pointing every 3 seconds. He f**king loves pointing. Link to comment

Jazzer_Bett Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 My highlight since Dezzy's return was when he came on in the most recent Sellick game at Pittodrie...... Once of the first things he did was f+cking nail one of the Tims players, good and proper - right infront of the dugout. And I thought to myself even though you're pretty sh*te - good on you Dezzy, you're one of us.  If he does nothing other than romp about putting in heavy challenges on the opposition then fair enough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gfWyBQw3Gs^Look - Dezzy can even pyure write and at man-!^ Link to comment
Tord31 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Young is probably the man for it and hopefully he steps up to the plate and offers something more than normal. Not sure he'd be the best vice-captain next season (I am assuming Hartley will play less games next year) Link to comment
spamspamspam Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Wont get better value than Yong, I like a number 14.  Is this another wee hint that Zirconium Dioxide is offski in the summer? Link to comment
Jack_Glass Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I agree. f**k 'em 'a would that include our most famous glaswegian SAF? or the many players he signed from paisley, glasgow and surrounding areas that subsequently brought our most successful times ever? ;-) Link to comment

boboisared Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Don't think he's captain material as he's too keen on shouting and blaming but I'd love to be proven wrong. Hope he gets a new deal as cover in the summer though. Link to comment

OddJob Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 He's actually played rather well for us since Brown came here with the exception of Utd away and his mad handball in the semi-final (but then again most of our team were horse that day anyway). As has been said not exactly a great player but you know what you'll get from him and he certainly plays for the shirt which is refreshing to see from a Weeg. That said i don't know if i'd be keen for him to sign on again for next season until we know what Broon's plans are. Link to comment
athenaeum Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Could be the worst player ever to captain the Dons if it happens Link to comment
