  1. He'd get on well with McCall, what with turning up pished for his work every day and all. Whups, did I say that?
  2. quite agree - first one was a pen, second one was a shocking dive. no need for it either - the game was won. let's hope it's a one-off.
  3. EE tonight has miller saying the cash will be used to tie up new deals for those out of contract at the end of the season. of them, i'd like to see barry nic and zander get bumper contracts, and miller and lovell told to get tae feck. jury's still out on clangers.
  4. clangers was indeed outstanding last night. hopefully he's been chowing down on hot, steamy bowls of humble pie for the past three months, worked hard on his game and has sorted his attitude out. certainly looked that way last night. however, i'd still like us to bring someone else in, especially if, as looks likely, soutar is going. clangers can't expect to be rewarded for his behaviour with a new, no strings attached, deal. we need some serious competition for him - ideally so serious that he has to cool his heels on the bench if he doesn't keep up the standards he set last night. one good game isn't enough to convince me he's changed from being a disaster waiting to happen. he needs to bust his balls for the rest of the season and then MAYBE i'll think about welcoming him back as our number one.
  5. one out of two, min - mike was indeed an ebbe special. noel was jc's second signing, remember.
  6. Couldn't agree more if I tried. Without a doubt post of the day mate Paterson was Crap that's true. But Ebbe did also get us to Europe; I can't say his time was ALL Crap. being generous, i'd say that aberdeen under ebbe were at least amusing - largely for the wrong reasons. the only highlights i can remember from that whole time were that hysterical 5-6 game at fir park, beating a very good sellic 2-0 at home (the snowballs game) and beating the hun in the league cup quarter final. other than that, it was a pitiless parade of 5,6 and 7-0 horsings at the hands of the old firm (and livingston, for crying out loud) and the increasing hooting scorn of opposition fans of every stripe. it was frankly embarrassing being an aberdeen fan at the time, which is a situation i hope never to be in again. as for getting us into europe, it was a fluke - and one ebbe admitted at the time.
  7. looks like this was a typical bunch of chick young horseshit. however, jc hasn't done himself a lot of favours by refusing to deny it. it was never going to be the case, although jc has in the past made much of the fact that he turned down the derby county job before billy davies landed it. i get the feeling jc has a much larger appreciation of his own qualities than anyone else does. however, i'd rather he stayed to see the job through, i must say. there are far too many blithering fools out there (largely on AN Other board, to be fair) with pitifully short memories who conveniently forget how absolutely rank rotten we were before jc took over. aye, we get the odd performance we don't like, but i'd rather have credible mediocrity than outright laughable atrociousness which we got under ebbe and paterson.
  8. aye, it's important we do get up and running. and i do think we'll be too strong for thistle - complacency won't strike twice. they've just been pumped by both dundee and accies, so clearly mccall hasn't learned much about defending since he got there. but the seeds of doubt will continue to sprout if we don't dispose of 'em comprehensively. it's nice and close to my hoose too - although i'll be on holiday. boo!
  9. just been told we've drawn thistle away in the CIS. not the easiest draw we could get, i think, although they have been pumped the past two weeks. thoughts?
  10. Still a shadow of Brewster at Easter Road last week couldn't agree more, min. it was disappointing to see us try to play the same game we played at easter road last week, by hoofing the ball up to a target man. this worked well enough against hibs as the ball sticks to big brew, but miller is a tenth of the player he is. didn't work at all in the first half, and those clowns howling for miller and lovell to be played together should hang their heads in shame - there appeared to be absolutely zero understanding between the two and even less of a threat. still, derek young did okay, hart was excellent at centre half and considine was pretty immaculate. probably deserved the three points if only because killie were entirely without bite up front.
  11. it's a hellhole, by all accounts, so i'll nae be going (besides that, i'll be back fae my holidays one day). however, i think it's a winnable game. I remember dnipro being okay but no great shakes from that hibees game, and a bunch of their goals came in the last five minutes while hibs were pushing up the park to get one back. pretty much the draw i thought we'd get - some doughty eastern european mob. i saw we take 'em and then make hay in the groups - remember, three from five qualify. bring it on!
  12. could be worse - certainly winnable. still, nae much fun trip, like.
  13. oh come on. you think the championship is some sort of football masterclass? mark mcghee said on setanta a couple of weeks ago that the WHOLE of the spl would compete comfortably in the championship and that includes gretna and st mirren. what makes you think one of the country's better sides (ie: us) wouldn't? remember, jc is frighteningly loyal to players (hence our team being stuffed with ex-dunf squaddies), so if he headed down south, i wouldn't be surprised to see him try to tempt seve, barry nic, jamie smith, michael hart, zander or chris clark to join him. even clangers, if they were still on speaking terms.
  14. we did, min. it was a toss up between him and someone truly terrible like lauren d'jaffo, and guess which one we gave the contract to. actually, i don't think rocky was all-that past it - he would've only been 30 or something at the time, but clearly the fact that he was prepared to take a gamble on winning a gig at aberdeen (which was in an even worse state at the time than it is now) demonstrates that his career wasn't exactly skyrocketing. even though we had him for all of one afternoon, i still remember being a little saddened when he snuffed it. the boy had talent once upon a time, no doubt.
