Elgindon

Dont know if he fully recovered from his near impalement by a box of crunchy nut cornflakes . Did he not reappear in Torry Spar at a later date or was that someone else? Abmad at its prime....

Is there a time limit for one man to be in the same position? Must be about time for a natural change,though I seem to remember Walker and Farry in charge for what seemed decades. Could we have some influence on how our club votes in these guys.

Buttery update - Dont normally go to Cognito,St swithin st for coffee,but the usual joint was closed so went in for our morning break.Wifie said she got her rowies from the Breadmaker,Rosemount which I'm a fan of.She heated them up in a panini press rather than grill or toaster. Affa fine,noticed the difference.Melted butter on a slightly crispy and flaky buttery.Rather good coffe too. Will relay any further important developments

Even the Record described him as a 'total flop' with us,..its Maynard that deserves all the criticism.Finds his level,scores in one game,and thinks he's earned the right to mouth off.Useless tw@t

Brief highlights

If were talking about the crossfield pass from our half which GMS chested on in the other half,that was Forrester No word of MacLennans injury,hopefully nothing serious.Like the look of him more than Anderson

A good win,scoreline as anticipated ,but dont think anyone anticipated the goalscorers.Not a huge fan of Cosgrove but if that helps bring him out his shell.... Like the look of McLennan.Strong and direct.nae sure the extent of his injury but a wee concern since he's had a couple injuries already. Defence was solid,Lowe was good,as were Shinnie and Ferguson. Look forward to seeing what we can do with an on form,fully fit squad

Also not ruling May out yet.See what he does in a 2 upfront.Becoming a pain not seeing our strongest line up get a run of games,but should have too much for Smurn Lewis Logan Devlin Considnie Lowe McGinn Fergie Shinnie GMS May Wilson Sticking with an optimistic 4 -1 . ps ,impressive moving thingy from KITNS

FIFY

Have never understood how fans of the clubs Steve Bruce has managed,are able to build up any affinity with him,when he's jumped from one similar sized club to another,often in the same league. "Yes,City/Utd/Villa/Rovers/Town are the club Ive always wanted to manage etc"

Heard this the other day also on the radio.Memories of playing it to death on the Lido juker in Elgin(one for big Al ) Still sounds good 40 years later

Quite looking forward to this one,some decent signs at Parkhead.Wilson seems to bring more to the table,and in turn may tease more out of GMS,McGinn etc. A bit more optimistic than of late.... 4 - 1 Dons Wilson,GMS x2,Anderson (late sub)

Managed to watch the second half on a stream in Aviemore(due to turning back from a hill).Created a surprising amount of chances,(or more then usual at Parkhead),whilst at the same time being quite wasteful with the ball in our buildup at times. An improvement though,and the defence stabilising might give more confidence furhter up the park.Wilson looks good,and hopefully brings more out of May,or Anderson if as most of us want,we stay with a front 2.

Put me in the slightly embarrassed to be in the Semis category

Ach well.

Anderson with the winner....

Cosgrove coming off, May on....

Dom Ball off the bar Sounds pretty even so far,Hibs looking a bit more dangerous

Aberdeen: Lewis, Logan, Devlin, McKenna, Considine, Lowe, Ball, Shinnie, Mackay-Steven, Cosgrove, Wilson. Substitutes: Cerny, Forrester, Gleeson, McGinn, May, Campbell, Anderson.

Looks a bit like Geddy Lee(Rush). Think she's got potential,but doesnt suit that style of music(Minis clip),and to be fair the sound quality is pretty poor/tinny

Not unreasonable.Am a fan of Dels,but hate his game management with 44 mins to go style No idea what to expect tomorrow though.Defence pretty solid.One of those games where we could sneak a win 0 - 2 GMS,McGinn COYR

Too early to rule anyone out yet,even Stevie May(hasnt been tried enough in a front 2),.....or Forrester for that matter til we get the semblance of our strongest squad playing over a number of games Gleeson and Forrester looked reasonable additions at the time,but look like they could be the weak link in the side.Think they both need a manager that can get into their heads,which I think is one of Del's weaker areas of management IMO. Maybe need to source someone more authoritative in January for midfield

Hints of winter at Pittodrie on Saturday,and confirmation on A'Chralaig on Sunday.White stuff is back,earlier than last year

Nae sure about Mattiels orange breeks/boots combo.Did her budgie die? 'Jam in the Van' is a good wee site for unheard of new bands Bit of funk with Pims of Joytime Turquaz

DM must go calls are a bit OTT. This isnt to defend DM but according to the stats,we had 17 chances yesterday,to St J's 4,with us having 7 shots on target and them having 3. I'm guessing most of those chances came after we went a goal down,played with a bit more urgency and with 2 up front? Certainly sounded like it on the radio.Food for thought
