  1. They are discussing the Strachan sending off yesterday on BBC Scotland - Murdo Mcleod just said one of the problems with Aberdeen is they have always had a skinfull  :hammer: Total slader by the program on Aberdeen, Sandy Clark not really standing up for us

  2. today's P&J

     

    (Stolen fae K9 on the hat)

     

    "Now Jimmy, did you see what happened there? Your team lost, and yet was still

    clapped off the field. Strange, wouldn't you think, for a bunch of fans who set

    standards as high as those of which they are accused? Here's the difference. You

    played 4-4-2, with aggressive intent, and Scott Severin in midfield (where, for

    an hour, he was awesome).

     

    It is increasingly clear that branding the Aberdeen fans as greedy delusionists

    is a tool to write off valid concerns about decisions for which Jimmy would

    otherwise be held to account. To hear such lazy, stereotype-based, cliché-packed

    dross coming from outsiders who have no interest in, and nothing to gain from,

    the club's success is so old that it stopped causing offence years ago, but

    spoken by the man who is in charge of our team it can be extremely irritating.

     

    Let me spell this out once and for all, Jimmy. There is not a single Aberdeen

    supporter who expects you to deliver the SPL trophy. Memories of the days when

    the First Division title seemed a more immediate prospect are still way too

    fresh for any such fantasy to be entertained, and as such we have rather enjoyed

    the last three seasons, which cannot, in league terms at least, be categorised

    as anything other than success. Don't you remember the travelling Dandies

    pouring onto the pitch in Inverness to celebrate mere accession to the top six?

    Or the carnival atmosphere at Pittodrie in May when third spot was clinched?

    Neither is the hallmark of a support which demands nothing less than some

    unattainable level of perfection.

     

    What Aberdeen supporters do expect is that you produce the best that can be

    extracted from this current squad. To run scared of a side who, within a week,

    became the first to not only drop SPL points to Gretna but to fail to put four

    past them was to fall well short of that mark, hence the reaction it received.

    This, though in vain, was much more like it, other than the glaringly obvious

    lack of fitness which saw the entire team hit the wall simultaneously, at around

    the point in proceedings where it is normally only Craig Brewster who needs to

    be removed before he expires.

     

    Finally, after two false starts, you might have something. Give it a chance,

    please."

     

    :clap: spot on loon

  3. Hibs boy just gave me his copy of todays Edinburgh Evening News

     

    Hearts today announced proposals of their new main stand at Tynecastle costing £50 Million. The 10,000 seater stand will increase capacity to 25,000. It will incorporate leisure facilities such as hotels, bars, restaurants and commercial office space

     

    Now that would mean a debt of £80 because lets face it Romanov isn’t going to invest anything. The debt would be crippling!

  4. The thing is Brewster was taken off as he looked tired (well to me) but Miller came on and I think I saw him twice appear on the screen. As Craig Burley said before the game on Setanta "If I was a striker and a 40 year old was starting in front of me, I would be hanging up my boots!"

  5. Excellent first half performance, but the form of the first two games slipped back in for the second half. Was impressed by Brewster once again, has the class our other strikers dont have. As my mate said, if only he was 10 years yonger - 30  ::)

  6. OLD BHOY JACKIE IS DOUBTFUL

     

    JACKIE McNAMARA may miss out on the chance to face Celtic for the first time since quitting Parkhead two years ago.

     

    The Aberdeen defender was injured in training yesterday and is doubtful for Sunday's match at Pittodrie.

     

    Boss Jimmy Calderwood, who also has defender Lee Mair and Dutch winger Jeffrey de Visscher sidelined, said: "Jackie got a real clatter in a collision with Zander Diamond and suffered a bit of a dead leg. He was forced to stop training and that's a worry.

     

    "I think he ran into the big man's knee and it was a sore one. It's the last thing we need ahead of the Celtic game.

     

    "It's a match he will want to play in for obvious reasons after his tremendous career at Celtic.

     

    "He's already proving a great addition. He was very good against Dundee United and outstanding against Hearts."
