Charlie Allan will lose his bikini top if he went down that slide.

Shankland has played in 11 games but only gets on average 7 mins to impress. We want our young players to know they can break into the team and not be persuaded by their agent to try elsewhere.

Wishing this had been yesterday! SHould Shanks been given a chance yesterday?
I think he has to be put in front of Goodwillie

Thanks to Peterheidloon for the updates on twitter & photos:
The dons U20s ran out easy winners v Celtic @ Greenock today. Shankland was once again the star man and scored a hatrick against the tormented Celtic defence. Rose & Culjak impressed in the Aberdeen defence.
The U20 will now fly out to join the full squad in Tenerife.

Debate has raged in Scotland in the past few weeks over ways to improve match day experience with the return of safe standing areas just one piece of a complicated puzzle.
Top flight clubs in Scotland were given the green light to introduce safe standing sections at their stadiums back in 2011 but so far none have been able to do so.
Dundee United are the latest club to state their ambition to introduce a standing area at their ground, subject to further approval from fans, the police and local authorities.
Celtic have been frustrated in their attempts to use rail seating at Parkhead while Aberdeen have previously looked at the system, which is in operation in the Bundesliga.
STV contacted all 12 current Scottish Premiership sides to gain their views on safe standing.
Aberdeen - An Aberdeen spokeswoman indicated since the Dons were looking to move to a new ground in the near future, safe standing would not be "top of our priority list for Pittdorie". However she added safe standing was something they would look at when constructing the new stadium.
Celtic - Celtic have seen proposals to introduce safe standing rejected by Glasgow City Council with the local authority unsatisfied over a lack of provision for a barrier between standing and seated areas.
Dundee - we currently have no plans.
Dundee United - Creating a safe standing area is expensive but it looks great and creates an atmosphere. We’re in a position to spend the money but we’d need to survey the fans first
Hamilton - We believe there’s a place for safe standing areas but will take the SPFL Board and Memberships view and recommendations
Caley - Preliminary research shows that the cost of this could be prohibitive as things stand at the moment but we are keeping an open mind on this initiative and will be discussing the options with the supporters.
Killie - In principle, we would support the creation of "safe standing areas" but due to the capital expenditure required to convert seated, concrete terracing into an area suitable for "safe standing", this is not a priority at present.
Well - The main issue for us, and possibly other clubs, is the costs involved. The area we would consider logical within our ground would probably require a significant amount of work to be able to facilitate.
Partick - Any move to introduce standing at games must be proved completely safe before its widespread introduction.
County - It is time for this debate to move forward and for our politicians to make decisions which will see safe standing back at Scottish football grounds.
St Johnstone - There are no timescales for any such work at McDiarmid Park and we have yet to have any dialogue with the local authority.
St Mirren - My worry is that supporters would expect to pay less for standing yet would cost clubs money to first of all create these areas plus there would likely be extra stewarding and police costs associated with standing areas for clubs.

Some poor goalkeeping from Brown today, time for Langfield to return?

Pissed off. Flood should have been off, Goodwillie can fuck off, Smith or Shankland on instead of him earlier.

EVERY Friday afternoon Derek McInnes picks up the phone to Stewart Milne and gives him the Aberdeen team before anyone else.
The manager reckons it’s the least his chairman deserves.
Now he’s hoping after 21 years of? commitment through thick, thin and even thinner, the man at the Dons helm gets more than just his boss’s respect as a reward.
As 90 crucial minutes loom for a side who have spent months playing down their title credentials, it’s impossible to believe Milne won’t be scraping himself off the ceiling of the Celtic Park boardroom if his side pull level with the Hoops at the top of the table at lunchtime.
But McInnes believes the ?multi-millionaire building magnate has earned the right to any highs his team give him after so many years of lows.
The emotional side of the 64-year-old shone through at the same ground last season as Dons hoisted their first trophy in a generation in the League Cup Final.
McInnes said: “I think the fan came out in him that day. He has been a huge supporter of the club, he’s had to endure a lot in his tenure here and it hasn’t always been enjoyable so he more than anybody deserved to enjoy that day.
“But other people tell me he’s excited about the team again and got that?real bug again – and that’s good for?everybody. He’s stimulated by what he’s getting from the players and the team. There’s a lot to like about the club, on and off the pitch.
“There are good things happening but we know it’s key what happens on the pitch to keep that whole thing stimulated and crackling along. If?we don’t keep winning he’ll not be smiling and neither will I.”
McInnes’ working relationship with his employer is built on respect and that manifests itself on a weekly basis.
He added: “I don’t need to speak to him every day but we do speak a couple of times a week. I always phone him on a Friday and give him the team, he deserves to know the team.
“I always give him his place that way, I think that’s important, and I give him my reasons for the team.
“Then we always meet up every two or three weeks. I go out and see him and sit with him for three or four hours and we go over everything. There’s nothing I can’t talk to him about.
“We have a good relationship. You’ve got to work for people who are keen to improve as well.
“I feel I’m working for a club and ?chairman who wants standards to improve, who wants a new stadium, who wants a new training centre, who wants a team of value on the pitch, who wants the city to be excited and fall in love with the team and people to come along and watch Aberdeen, not just through blind loyalty but because they actually want to come to the game.”
Milne’s matchday experiences at? Pittodrie haven’t always been as?positive. During the darkest days he and his family had to walk a gauntlet going into the ground as the club grubbed around the lower reaches of the league and slumped out of cup after cup. McInnes said: “He’s been the one who has written the cheques which has seen the club through it, the one who more often than not has kept the club going without a lot of thanks, from the outside looking in.
“I think he’s delighted now we have other people investing and believing in the club and he deserves the chance to see Aberdeen keep moving forward.”
Despite his constant denials that three points this afternoon would be any different from the three they earned last weekend from St Mirren, there’s a steely resolve underlying McInnes and a deep-seated belief in the side he’s built. He said: “Aberdeen teams should be going to the end of the season with something to play for.
“There’s nothing worse than playing out a season for the sake of it and for a long time that’s the way it was.
“We have to improve our standards every year and we can look ahead with a lot of optimism but whether we can maintain a title challenge remains to be seen because at the minute there’s only one team that can lose it.
“I’m not being clever with that, that’s a fact. They are 12 points less than?they were last year and we are nine points more so there had to be an improvement from us and a?deterioration in their results to get where we are now.
“We know the significance of Sunday for us – for both teams. Although it’s the same three points you get for beating St Mirren last week the opportunity?to go level with Celtic?at this stage of the?season is motivation enough.”

Feyenoord supporters are understood to be planning a trip to the city at the weekend to attend the match.
Officers said they have "intelligence" from social media discussions between sections of the Celtic support and Dutch fans.
The Evening Times understands around 120 Feyenoord supporters plan to arrive in the city.
A police insider said: "We know about them and we're ready."
Police will have a specialist policing plan in place throughout the weekend.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We are aware of discussion on the internet in relation to a section of travelling supporters."
It comes days after some Feyenoord supporters became embroiled in a racism row during their side's Europa League match against Roma.
The referee was forced to stop the match twice over the incidents during Thursday's game.
Officers arrested more than a dozen Dutch nationals and five Italians before the match.

I thought I read a while ago that his contract had been extended? Clearly not if he is on trial with us.
On 25 November 2014, it was announced that Houston had declined the option on Driver's contract. On December 8, 2014, his rights were traded to D.C. United, who opted not to sign him after a short trial -

Agreed I think it will be pretty unchanged with Taylor on the bench. A few people wondering if Hayes will be back fit and it has been kept quiet.
