mizer

There is too much RDS in the background, which makes the team sandwiched in the middle. I know just a few rules of photography but this one screams out for the 1/3 (grass or the stand)& 2/3 (for the team) rule, so fuck know what amateur they got to take the picture!

A playlist of all the music recommend to me by you lot.

Jamie Smith looks downright angry, going on the smirk on bebos face I think he may have farted and that is what is making Jamie angry.

I was just a whisker away from getting it right.

I think he just meant still being bottom of the table Mizer.

 

At least the football has improved, hopefully the results will too.

As long as we get more points than we did in September.........which was 0 

Some more stuff raked up by Aberdeen journals

Lovell is ready to haunt his old club

Hughes backing hitman

 

By Ross McTavish

 

Published: 15/10/2008

 

 

FALKIRK boss John Hughes says Steve Lovell can come back to haunt the Dons by scoring against them on Saturday.

 

The striker will line-up against his former employers in great form.

 

Lovell has scored in each of his last three appearances for the Bairns.

 

Aberdeen let the Englishman leave in the summer after three injury-hit years at Pittodrie.

 

Now Hughes reckons he has profited from Dons boss Jimmy Calderwood’s decision not to retain Lovell’s services.

 

He said: “If I can keep Steve fit, healthy and enjoying his football, then I will get the rewards.

 

“He was injured at Aberdeen and not always in the team.

 

“Jimmy Calderwood decided to go a different way and I got the benefit of it.

 

“Sometimes ex-players come back to haunt you, so hopefully the luck will be on our side this weekend.

 

“Aberdeen have Mark Kerr, Lee Miller and Lee Mair in their team who have all been at Falkirk.

 

“I have a couple of their former players at my club, in Steve Lovell and Jackie McNamara.

 

“So I hope it falls my way on Saturday.â€

 

Lovell did not start a game for Falkirk until September 23, in the Co-operative Insurance Cup victory over Queen of the South.

 

But the 27-year-old showed what he can offer Hughes as he hit the winning goal in a 2-1 success.

 

The forward has since gone on to find the back of the net against Hamilton and Motherwell in the Premier League.

 

Hughes admits he has been delighted with Lovell’s performances since forcing his way into the first team.

 

The Bairns’ boss also revealed Lovell has settled in well at the club and has been a joy to work with.

 

Hughes said: “We had to get Steve fit because he probably hadn’t played 90 minutes for two or three months.

 

“He didn’t do a pre-season either, so we all had to be patient.

 

“Steve had to work hard to get into the team.

 

“But he’s scored three goals in three games and I’m delighted for him.

 

“He gives us something different in terms of his pace and power.

 

“He’s also forming a good partnership with Michael Higdon.

 

“Steve’s settled in well at the club, which is credit to him and the players.

 

“They have taken to him and I enjoy working with him.â€

Jimmy: Even my wife is suffering!

Dons boss’ pain at poor league position

 

By Charlie Allan 

 

Published: 15/10/2008

 

 

JIMMY Calderwood has been a nightmare to live with since the Dons went bottom of the SPL.

 

The Dons boss sympathises with his wife, Sue, who has been forced to put up with his dark mood over the last week or so.

 

But Jimmy is confident the clouds will start to lift when the Dons visit Falkirk on Saturday.

 

Q How do you feel about being bottom of the SPL?

 

A When I look at the table it’s painful reading, it really is. I’ve never had that experience before, as a manager or a player, and I’m hating every second of it. My wife is the one I feel sorriest for. I’m at my grumpiest when the team isn’t doing well. I know I shouldn’t be like that, but football is my life and it hurts when the team isn’t getting the results we want. Someone has to suffer for that and sadly it’s the wives of the managers who end up in the firing line. You throw newspapers away because you feel sick when you look at the league tables. I also sit staring out of the window trying to figure out what has gone wrong. My wife will serve a nice meal in an attempt to cheer you up and gets annoyed when you respond that you can’t be bothered with eating and would prefer to be left alone. It’s wrong but sometimes you just can’t help yourself. I took her down south for a few days last week in an effort to cheer the both of us up. I don’t think she was too pleased that I took her in past the Motherwell v Falkirk game on the way. I kept that as a surprise until we got a bit nearer to Fir Park. But I would love it if we won this weekend because it would put a smile on her face, as well as mine. She deserves more than to see another weekend going down the tubes.

 

Q Do you see any positives at the moment?

 

A The only comfort is that I can look up the table a little and see that we are actually still just six points off third spot as well. My own mood has been lifted after attending the SPL manager’s meeting in Glasgow at the weekend. Everton boss Davie Moyes was there as well. The two of us were moaning like old women. Everton haven’t started well either and we were both talking about how it was doing our heads in. Walter Smith came to the rescue by stepping in and telling us both not to be so daft. Walter says things will improve if we continue to have faith and keep doing the right things. That weekend also helped me remember that we’ve been in tough positions at other times during my spell as manager. I’m thinking more about the weeks after the defeats by Queen’s Park and Queen of the South. There was also a spell during one of my seasons when we went from October to the beginning of December when we hardly won a game. I didn’t panic then so won’t be doing it now.

 

Q So what has gone wrong so far?

 

A The biggest problem is that we keep kicking ourselves in the teeth in games we are doing well in. We did it at Celtic, losing after starting well because we made daft defensive errors. It was the same in the Hibs game. I don’t think they would have won if they hadn’t been given that controversial penalty. Charlie Mulgrew was unfortunate with the handball but if we had defended better before that the incident would never have happened. It baffles me at times because the players never do those things at training. They always defend properly and admit themselves that the sort of mistakes they have made just should not be happening. I also don’t think we’ve had the rub of the green in certain situations. You need that at times in football. The penalty incident against Hibs is a prime example. Our luck will change A lot of rival fans will be laughing and making life hard for the Aberdeen supporters at the moment. But I promise them, we will have the last laugh.

 

Q How do you feel about the personal criticism being fired at you?

 

A I’m big enough and old enough to take it. No-one loves to read the sort of stuff I’ve seen in the Evening Express or hear the comments made on radio phone-ins. But I put that up against the fans who have met me face to face and offered nothing bit support and encouragement. I was at a fundraising event on Friday, where Denis Law was the main speaker, and every person I spoke to was encouraging. It was brilliant and gave me a big lift. It’s been the same with any fans I’ve met in the street or in the supermarket. In all the years I’ve been at Pittodrie I’ve never had a fan come up and say nasty things to my face. They will express hurt and disappointment if results haven’t gone right, which I understand. But they’ve always ended things by wishing me well and I appreciate that.

 

Q What part can the fans play now?

 

A I would ask that they do all in their powers to back the players as they work to get us off the bottom of the table. I would even be happy if they chose to have a go at me if it meant giving extra backing to the players.

more non news.

 

 

Shut yer yap. 

 

Put foot to arse

 

Get that team up that league.

Doubt there will be any as the team are off until Thursday?

Well done leith red

No Millwall malaise at Pittodrie

nicholl recalls his days with a team in the mire – but insists no such ills exist at lowly aberdeen

 

By Paul Third

 

Published: 15/10/2008

 

Jimmy Nicholl has enough experience to spot the danger signs of a team in the relegation mire – such as players blaming each other and some simply not trying – but the Aberdeen assistant manager insists there are no such worries at Pittodrie.

 

Former Northern Ireland international Nicholl has experienced the highs and lows in football management from winning the League Cup with Raith Rovers to being relegated with English side Millwall.

 

Nicholl was manager of Millwall in 1996 when the London side was relegated to the third tier of English football – and he never wants to take the drop again.

 

He can recall the dark days of 300 angry supporters waiting outside the ground to vent their fury at him in what was undoubtedly his most difficult season as a manager.

 

But he insists there is no comparison between the mood at Millwall in those days and the one at Pittodrie now as the rock-bottom Dons prop up the SPL table.

 

Nicholl said: “I have seen it at Millwall when a team is bottom of the league and players go into their cliques.

 

“I’ve seen those who travel together in cars to training and distance themselves from what is happening.

 

“Some want to roll their sleeves up and get on with it. Some are not bothered and some are quick to blame others.

 

“But I don’t see it here. The demands from the manager are still there and the appetite is still there.â€

 

Nicholl’s Millwall tenure was a difficult one, with severe financial difficulties which resulted in players being sold and the club sliding from promotion contenders to relegation.

 

Constant speculation about his position and interest in the club from potential investors did little to help his plight.

 

He recalled: “I was sacked at Millwall and I know when the players don’t want to fight for you anymore.

 

“There comes a time as a manager when you think the players just aren’t doing it for you and your time is up.

 

“I still enjoyed my work at Millwall but we were relegated.

 

“There were other people coming in to take over the club and the players knew it. They knew I wasn’t going to be there much longer and the fight wasn’t there.â€

 

With the Dons at the foot of the table, Jimmy Calderwood is in new territory in his managerial career.

 

But Nicholl reckons that Aberdeen will soon climb and insists the players will get the club moving quickly.

 

He added: “I know we are bottom of the league at the moment but we will be fine.

 

“The players have to stick together. During a game they have to focus on what they are doing, their opponents, their team-mates and the ball. Nothing else matters.

 

“I am surprised at the position we find ourselves in but we are only eight games into the season.

 

“There is a way of losing a game and if you lose 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0 regularly then you can tell something is not right.

 

“We’re not covering over the cracks here but there is no getting away from the individual mistakes which have cost us.

 

“We haven’t won at home, which is a worry, but the away performances – with the exception of Kilmarnock – have been very good.

“We are confident we will turn it around.

 

“If we were in this situation with eight games to go I would be worried, but I really can’t see that situation happening.â€

If we still haven't won a game at home with 8 to go......... 

----

Very good performances? Are you sure? Lets ask the manager!

Motherwell

We can play a lot better than we did' date=' but it's a vital win." [/quote']

 

Ayr

We can play better than that. It's about digging results out at the moment

 

StMirren

Jimmy Calderwood has told fans their team's quality of football will improve after they ground out another one-goal away victory.

 

Killie - As Jimmy Nic says above, oh hang on

Footballwise' date=' I thought we did well[/quote']

 

Celtic -

Performance-wise' date=' I am delighted[/quote']

 

So according to the manger we have played not that well in all but our two last away games, whicle our assistant manager thinks we have done in all our games except Killie.............

A strong looking Aberdeen side drew 1-1 this evening with reserve league leaders Celtic at the Excelsior Stadium, Airdrie. The Dons dominated for large sections of the game after the home side were reduced to 10 men. However it was Celtic who took the lead through McCourt midway through the second half - completely against the run of play. The goal though spurred the Dons on and they got a deserved equaliser minutes later. Jeffrey de Visscher finished off a fine move involving Sone Aluko and Chris Maguire. Aberdeen pressed for the winner but had to settle for a point.

 

John Bateman came into the side in goals to replace the injured Bossu who picked up an injury in training. 

 

After a fairly even opening period Celtic were reduced to 10 men just before the half hour mark. Simon Ferry hauled down Tommy Wright and as he was the last man referee Stephen Allan had no choice but to send him off. From the resulting free kick Chris Maguire hit a superb shot but it hit the bar.

 

Although the Dons were dominating possession, Celtic still had one or two chances. Bateman made an excellent save from a Ben Hutchison header.

 

After the break the Dons continued to dominate the game but then completely against the run of play Celtic took the lead. On 63 minutes Paddy McCourt made a strong run through a number of defenders before passing the ball into the bottom right hand corner from about 15 yards, giving Bateman no chance. Although it was a excellent goal, Sandy Clark will not have been pleased with the defending. Chris Maguire

 

The Dons however equalised only two minutes later. Sone Aluko played the ball up to Chris Maguire who chested it down into the path of Jeffrey de Visscher who finished well from 10 yards. The Dutchman had a superb first half and although he faded a bit in the second period he thoroughly deserved his goal.

 

Aberdeen continued to push forward and although they had a lot of the ball and were able to force a number of corners they did not create too many clear cut openings. Mark Brown made a good save from a Mulgrew free kick but that was about a close as the Dons came to getting a winner.

 

As well as de Visscher, Charlie Mulgrew looked good throughout playing in a midfield role. Chris Maguire put in a good shift but Jared Hodgkiss probably just shaded the man of the match. Another very impressive performance from the right back.

 

Sandy Clark Sandy Clark spoke to RedWeb after the game. "I was very pleased with the effort and commitment from the boys. It was just frustrating we could not break them down. It was a game we probably should have won but only took a point. Give credit to Celtic though, they reorganised when they went down to ten men and defended well, and at the same time still gave us a few problems."

 

"There were a lot of positives to take from the game. We played Charlie Mulgrew in a different position in the centre of midfield and he did well. John Bateman came into the side and put in a good performance. From a fitness point of view Andrew Considine got 90 minutes under his belt, as did Tommy Wright. Sone also got 90 minutes which he probably still needs at moment."

 

Team: Bateman, Hodgkiss, Stu Smith, McDonald, Crawford, Considine, de Visscher, Mulgrew, Wright, Maguire, Aluko

 

Subs: Bain, Clark, Pawlett, Stir Smith, Holm

Good to see Bateman getting a game, as Bossu is mice and should never play for us again.

Im confused now 

Just booked some tickets to see shooglenifty on the 1st of November

Willie Miller blasts SFA over Charlie Mulgrew red card error

 

Oct 14 2008

 

WILLIE MILLER last night slammed the SFA for refusing to scrap the red card Charlie Mulgrew was wrongly issued in the defeat by Hibs.

 

The Aberdeen defender is banned from Saturday's SPL clash at Falkirk despite referee Mike McCurry admitting he blundered in the build-up to the handball incident that led to his dismissal.

 

McCurry and his assistant both failed to see Hibs striker Steven Fletcher, who kicked the ball on to Mulgrew's hand, was clearly offside.

 

Dons director of football Miller said: "The SFA have shown a complete lack of common sense. It's an injustice.

 

"They have applied the rule to the letter and not thought things through.

 

"We didn't ask for the result to be overturned or officials to be punished. All we wanted was justice for Charlie and we are upset we didn't get it."

I cant even enjoy Scotland games now.............

Jimmy Calderwood hopes almost two weeks of looking at the Scottish Premier League table and seeing Aberdeen’s name at the bottom of it will have a galvanising effect on his players.

 

The Dons manager admits he has thought of little else during the international break and believes his players will be desperate to address the issue at Falkirk on Saturday as they bid to snap their five-game losing streak. He said: “Being bottom of the league does not make for good reading and it is a new experience for me. Time will tell if the international break came at a good time for us but, certainly, I wish we could have played straight away after the Hibs game.

 

“Every time you look at a paper or see the table on the TV it hurts and it is certainly not doing me any favours. It’s not an experience I want to have for too long and, hopefully, we can get a win on Saturday and get away from there.â€

 

Calderwood insists the mood within the camp at Pittodrie is good despite recent results and believes a little bit of good fortune will go a long way to getting the club heading up the table again.

 

He said: “The morale within the dressing-room is good and I can’t question the players’ commitment.

 

“The players here are not the sort who go into a shell when things are not going well, but they just need the break of a victory and I am sure they will be fine. No one is going to feel sorry for us, though. We have to win our games again.

 

“On the ball, we haven’t created too many chances, but we have scored four goals in our last two away games. Unfortunately, we conceded too many and lost both games but we are playing a lot better than the start of the season.

 

“I don’t think we played that badly against Hibs but we didn’t get the rub of the green with the sending-off and the penalty. It’s that sort of fortune we need.

 

“I would be more worried if the performance levels had dropped, but they haven’t.â€

 

With Jamie Smith resuming full training yesterday the Dons manager has a fully fit squad at his disposal.

 

The former Celtic winger will not start on Saturday but he may be involved at some stage if he can prove his fitness this week.

 

Calderwood said: “Everybody is fit and raring to go.

 

“Jamie Smith won’t be risked in the reserve game against Celtic this week. He looked very sharp in training and is a fit lad but Saturday will probably come too soon for him. He may make the bench but he will definitely be available for the game at Hearts next week.â€

Get it fuckin sorted then 

Giant piss up with Deano apparently

JAMIE McAllister today revealed turning his back on Aberdeen was the best move of his career.

 

Now at Bristol City, the left-back was a surprise call-up to George Burley’s Scotland squad for tomorrow’s World Cup qualifier against Norway.

 

And the 30-year-old reckons he would never have won an international call-up, if he had remained at Pittodrie.

 

He said: “My career really kicked-on when I left Aberdeen, and there have been so many highs since then.

 

“I won the League Cup with Livingston and scored in the final at Hampden and I won promotion to the Championship with Bristol City.

 

“Then last season I played in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley in the promotion play-off final.

 

“I had a great four-year spell at Pittodrie, and it was only the last two or three months where it went a bit wrong.

 

“The team were not doing well and I had knocked back two contract offers from the club, so I came in for a bit of stick.

 

“Leaving Aberdeen ultimately worked out very well for me.â€

 

Signed from Queen of the South for £100,000 by then Dons boss Ebbe Skovdahl, McAllister’s form in the Championship earned him an international recall.

 

And he insists he never gave up on the dream of adding to his solitary Scotland cap, despite joining unfashionable Bristol City.

 

“It’s great to be back involved as it is more than three years since my last call up when I played against Trinidad and Tobago,†he said.

 

“I always believed I would get another chance and it helps to be part of a successful side like City.

 

“I spent nine years in Scotland building up a reputation then I had to go down to England and do it all again which was a real challenge.

 

“It has worked out well, as we nearly got to the Premier League last season, and were 90 minutes away from playing in the best league in the world.â€

 

McAllister is unlikely to start the Group Nine qualifier, but is delighted to be out of the wilderness.

 

A Scotland man through and through, McAllister is relishing the chance to be involved after years of cheering on the national side.

 

“It would be fantastic to play, and would be the pinnacle of my career so far,†he said.

 

“I have been to a lot of Scotland games at Hampden as a fan, and am very passionate about my country.

 

“The atmosphere is unbelievable and sends a tingle up your spine as a fan, I cannot imagine what it would be like to be out on the pitch experiencing that.

 

“I have experienced an international at Easter Road, but Hampden would be extra special.

Anyone want to move onto a new club?
