  1. Fuck Hawks, have you not seen the size of these bastards!? We need Eagles or something big, otherwise I reckon the seagulls would still win!
  2. immy hits out at plane-crazy SFA dons boss brands under-21 travel plans amateurish after it takes injured reds 30 hours to return By paul third Published: 22/08/2008 Aberdeen’s frustration at not being able to assess the extent of defender Charlie Mulgrew’s head injury yesterday has been compounded by an injury to captain Scott Severin ahead of the visit of Rangers in the SPL tomorrow. Dons boss Jimmy Calderwood was critical of SFA travel arrangements after Mulgrew did not return to Aberdeen until late last night – more than 24 hours after the Scotland under-21 side’s 3-0 win in the European championship qualifier match in Lithuania. The former Wolves defender lasted less than half-an-hour as he was stretchered off with a head knock which required five stitches, but he cannot be assessed until this morning due to his late return. With centre back Zander Diamond already ruled out of the game and captain Severin also struggling, Aberdeen could be facing something of a defensive crisis. Calderwood said: “Seve took some studs on his foot in training last week and he struggled through the Motherwell game. He hasn’t trained a lot this week as I can see him grimacing when he tries to kick the ball, but hopefully he will be back. “Charlie is a massive doubt, Zander is definitely out and Tommy Wright is a doubt with a thigh injury. “It means we could have three of our back four missing against Rangers which is a worry, but it is still 11 against 11 and we will just have to get on with it.†Andrew Considine, who was also on Scotland under-21 duty, also made his return to the Granite City last night. Calderwood was critical of the travel arrangements. He said: “Our physio David Wylie is with the under-21s, which is a help, but the annoying thing for me is how long it is taking to get the players back. In this day and age, to not be back until 30 hours after a game is not good enough. “Andy is late back too and it means we can’t do any of our technical preparation, which is what we normally do on a Thursday. “I can’t understand why the SFA couldn’t just hire a charter flight and I haven’t bothered asking why they won’t be back as it doesn’t change anything. I just hope they learn from it for the future. I want my players to play for the country and I am proud when they are selected. “I won’t make a complaint but I can’t see any reason for this other than finance and this wouldn’t have happened if we had a charter flight. It’s amateur stuff really.†While their England counterparts travel in chartered airplanes to every away under-21 match, the Scottish players are forced to wait at airports throughout Europe while representing their country. Rob Shorthouse, head of communications at the SFA, insisted the association has always used scheduled flights for the under-21 squad. He said: “The SFA don’t charter flights for the under-21s and I would be amazed if any association did. “As we were using a scheduled flight, there was no direct flight from Scotland to Lithuania. “We had to decide whether to fly the team back to London late after the game and then travel up or let them relax after the game. “The decision was made to ensure the players were fed, watered and rested before travelling back.â€
  3. Sick Dons fan in wanting to break one of Bears Scotland's super stars shocker! I just want to see those hun cunts greet all over again
  4. Said this earlier, as much as I want that to happen, I love seeing him play for Rainjurs cos he's so shite Still a mild form of concussion wouldn't go amiss
  5. I'd agree with that, though I do think Miller will score against us on Saturday. Read today he's gone some 880 mins without scoring! That was worse than Hivs!
  6. Jimmy was in the Metro lambasting the SFA and calling them amateurs for making the pair come back so late after the game (last night).
  7. I pray to god yes if he's any good! EDIT: It would appear so! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aberdeen/7575131.stm
  8. You clearly didn't see Motherwell's tourist attraction then! The metal tree with metal seagulls on it. Absolute peach. Funniest thing was walking through the center and Ajja playing football with some Dandies who'd bought a huge red football. Until it popped that is!
  9. Aye I did but I thought that was a given Agree with what you mean, as I said, i didn't think Miller had a good game for us either. Our midfield just wasn't pushing forward enough.
  10. I just don't think he did anything, had a blocked shot, couldn't tell where that was going, and that was about it. I thought most of the team seemed to play ok apart from Miller, so maybe service was the issue.
  11. Was reading this in the metro this morning, what a fanny. I would wish injury on him but he's so shite that I don't want him out of the Huns team! I think every normal team loves beating the filth. Foreign vermin scum!
  12. i'll be in some pub somewhere in Edinburgh.
  13. Maybe its reverse psychology Injure these two "strikers" and you'll get a contract. Not that I want either two to get injured mind.
  14. Completely agree however I think he's already done that himself with his first statement to the press. But I agree whilst I enjoyed reading it, doesn't do much for him if he tries to "tone" it down a bit.
  15. Lanzaat has week to earn deal I’ve warned him not to kick Tommy Wright, says Nicholl By Paul Third Published: 20/08/2008 ABERDEEN assistant manager Jimmy Nicholl has urged trialist Quido Lanzaat to give his all in his bid to earn a contract at Pittodrie this week. The Dutch defender, who played for Ajax, Borussia Munchengladbach and 1860 Munich, is training with the Dons this week after being released by Bulgarian club CSKA Sofia. The 29-year-old has impressed with his ability but Nicholl admits it will take more than a good display of technique if the player is to win a deal. He said: “Quido was sucking air a bit on Monday as he wasn’t used to the pace of the training. We had another hard session today and we could see he has a good football brain. He reads situations and passes the ball well. Technically, he is very good, but we have seen Dutch defenders here in the past who have been very good in possession of the ball but when it comes to the physical side of the game, they struggle. “Some of them have it and some don’t. We have a week to find out if Quido has it.†Lanzaat has rebuilt his career following a failed drugs test in 2002 when he was with Munchengladbach. He was banned for three months when a blood test found traces of hashish but put the incident behind him to forge a career in Germany and Bulgaria. The Dons management is satisfied the offence was an isolated incident and will judge the player on his performance this week. Nicholl said: “If you are a centre forward you can score goals in training and if you are a winger you can cross balls and impress, but as a defender you have to show aggression as well as technical ability. “Jimmy has given him a week to impress and we have signed players in the past on the back of a trial. We’ve told him he is here on trial and he has to give us everything. There can be no holding back. If he has to kick Darren Mackie or Chris Maguire in training then so be it, but I’ve warned him not to kick Tommy Wright.†While Lanzaat focuses on winning a deal, Dons forward Wright has been cleared to face Rangers on Saturday after the SFA decided not to take further action following an off-the-ball incident between Wright and Motherwell defender Stephen Craigan on Saturday. Referee Steve Conroy included the incident in his report but decided no further action was necessary. Nicholl said: “I’m pleased Tommy can put Saturday behind him and concentrate on this game.â€
  16. I'm surprised Mackie got any votes for the Motherwell game. I thought he was rotten.
  17. I'm sure the SFA were gutted. Anyway, probably some bored hun journalist. Who cares anyway, the case is closed, they can worry about dealing with his sending off this saturday now
  18. I thought Mulgrew had a cracker of a game. Hence my vote for him
  19. You don't get moves to so many decentish sides for being shite, so there must be something good. We desperately need to address the right back issue and i'm glad to see the club is actively doing so with minimum fuss! Fingers crossed he could be a bit of a find!
  20. Fingers crossed this is the first sign/reward of our youth system having the complete overhaul when Lenny Taylor joined.
  21. Hammill joined Blackpool on loan... Totally agree that it was painfully obvious that we need a winger. Our midfield was pathetic yesterday!
