  1. N&T, was your handle Fat Shaft on AbMad? If so i remember once you and i stood up for the right to support our national team against the majority there.

     

    I agree with you about the contempt shown by a lot of board members there towards the national team. Couldn't understand how, if you were a football lover you couldn't even be interested in how your national team is getting on. I can understand a lot of the disdain shown towards the SFA and the beaks there but at the end of the day that doesn't make you lose interest in the teams results does it?!

     

    I had 14 years of AbMad and i, like so many others stopped posting there due to the attitudes shown by many there.

     

    Nope wasn't me ha. I do have a fat shaft though.... :rofl:

     

    Well said 1903^^^

     

    I only remember myself ever supporting Scotland in the last few months of being on Abmad.

     

    The attitudes towards Scotland were pathetic.

     

    Be pissed off with the set up, the choosing of players and the results but to detest the supporters who love dressing up and supporting the national team is Pathetic to me and there's plenty in the Aberdeen support who do.

    These supporters are generally extremely well behaved and come from many teams not just the cheeks.

    They carry a tradition that others supporters of the world are admired for so why not ours by ourselves.

    If you enjoy football surely you love the Danish turning up in Vikings, the Brazilians with the drums and samba and girls, the colour of different supporters, the atmosphere they create through customs etc.

     

    We are included in this and people who don't respect it are miserable chunts.

     

    for me, this is the very soul of football.

  2. Can I be completely honest?

     

    Abmad gave me a ton of apathy tbh.

     

    I still love my International football despite the f*ck ups and the morons running it.

     

    I still believe in the spirit of the tartan army and what it represents- fans loving their team and football and Scotland.

     

    Not a big fan of timberlands myself but if they wanna wear them with a kilt...is that so offensive to dons fans?

     

    The Hunnish attitude and contempt for all things related to our national team made me disassociate myself from a lot of dons fans.I can't believe some of the anti-Scottish stuff I was reading.

     

    This combined with what's going on with AFC, DM's decisions making and our sometimes general lack of attitude from players and ambition from our own club...has made me feel very apathetic.

     

    We need 2 football revolutions if u like.

     

    Clear out the Scotland international set up and the Aberdeen one.

     

     

     

    P.s. I live abroad but it would be nice if I could connect with an Aberdeen fan who thought along the same lines as me.

    One who loves his country, his International team and his football club.

     

    :(

     

    I don't feel any connection with any fan unfortunately.

     

     

    And btw, this forum is far far friendlier than Abmad  8)

  3. I said about 2/3 years ago that we have to go into debt.

     

    We need to remind ourselves what an incredible act that was in paying off the £10 mill in debts towards AFC .

     

    However, if we don't take a chance and push the boat out a bit we will NEVER move forward IMO .

     

    Not buying a couple of quality players and winning the league last time out was incredibly naive and f*cking abysmal management when it was there to be won.

     

    That to me was a gamble well worth taking and could well be the last chance for many years to come in winning the SPL.

     

    Win the league and generate interest and finance OR get a new stadium.

     

    I know what surely every dons fan would've wanted.

     

    F*cking awful Milne...just awful management.

     

    As long as we are happy buying SPL players or loans from the SPL and lower English leagues, mediocrity shall be the norm I'm afraid.

     

    As damning as that may seem it's inevitable.

     

     

     

  4. Scenario:

     

    I work for Aberdeen. Someone tells me or I find out for myself that there is a very good midfielder who plays for...hmm let's say a team playing in Greece.

     

    Flight- £150

    Accommodation- 4 nights @ 80/night

    Food- £160

    Transport- £100

    Match ticket- £15

     

    Total-£745 to go watch

     

     

    We can't afford it??????

     

  5. Good result but these games are surely when to bring on Storie and wright no?

     

    Thought Shinnie was a bit over the place too much.

     

    Great to see Pawlett back to playin well. Wish we had used his pace against rangers.

     

    Did you see Stockley's defensive work at 88minutes.it was brilliant.

     

    Reminded me of the clip they always show when Brazil played out from defence against Italy I think it was.' World Cup?

     

     

    McInnes still showing signs of poor management though despite 5-1

  6. I've looked at both forums and everyone is blaming the manager.

     

    Yes, he is at fault for the defence however...

     

    Shinnie hasn't been playing very well recently and didn't today.

     

    Hayes can run all day down the left wing and beat 20 players if he wants, but if he puts in the f*cking sh*ttest of crosses every time..id rather Wright replaced him to be honest.

     

    Hardly heard Logan's name all game.

     

    Ash Taylor defending at the first goal was abysmal.let Miller run right past him.wheres the man marking?

     

    I actually thought Conso was man of the match for us by a mile.

     

    Stockley's miss was unforgivable however I'd stick with him as he did quite a bit of defending too.

     

    Akin to this^^ the final ball by every single player was f*cking terrible.

     

    Worst I've seen for a while.

    We MUST work on that aspect of our game.

     

    Too many players trying to get the glory for themselves when the better option is to slide a short pass to the side in the oppositions box.maddison was guilty of that too.

     

    The Huns have a good team and can pass the ball around but their strikers should be contained easily.they aren't very good.neither are ouRs unfortunately.

     

    Lewis had a brilliant save at the end.

     

    I still think he should've stood his ground for their second goal.

     

    Glad to see Pawlett having a go and well done Jack for gettin stuck in (though sent off) at the end.GARNER is a dirty Hun chunt.

     

    No idea why DM didn't put Burns on to run at them.

     

    I would bring in Storey for midfield on Tuesday. Drop Hayes and put Wright on left wing for 60 minutes.

     

    P*ss poor result once again against the weegies

  7. I was at Parkhed the day of the minutes silence for Jock Stein ( broken only by tims)

     

    We were never going to be allowed to win that day.

     

     

     

    Weegie bastards

     

    I was at a Scotland game at Hampden for a jock stein minute silence.

     

    Anyone wanna tell me which one cos i cant remember.

     

  8. will anyone really care about a pre match interview if we pump the huns on sat?  Whatever else you want to say about McInnes he's pretty canny with the media, it seems to me he's trying to put pressure on the tribute act after their hiding (and it was a hiding, hertz were all over them) midweek.

     

    I think whatever he's trying to do , it's got a negative snowball effect on players Fans and the press for future games.

     

    What would you rather her...playing down your chances or being confident and practical and stating your positive intentions.

     

    I know which one I'd prefer.

     

     

  9. Sorry al but he's giving in to the usual p*sh.

     

    Even if he's playing mind games...he sucks at it.

     

    He's stating categorically that Rangers are favourites because of there spending power.

     

    They just got beaten and we beat then in our first meeting.

     

    There's nothing to say they will be 2nd or are favourites for 2nd spit.

     

    Poor poor management.

  10. Rooney definately needs dropped & ive been saying that for quite a while.

    For me, he seems slow,his touch is very poor, is not good in the air & looks unfit.  Stockley i.m.o couldnt do worse & is far better in the air. 

    I think we should be playing a 442 system more often with one bigger striker & one more mobile one.

    Stockley/Storey or Stockley/McGinn  for instance.

     

     

    ^^^^^ absolutely.

     

     

  11. Absolutely Charles.

     

    piss poor against Maribor and the cup final.

     

    I do wonder where McInnes gets this stubborness from.

     

    I like him but he's starting to get on my tits with team selections.

     

    Why break that back 4.

    Why not stick with Stockley against Celtic

    Why not get Burns running at them against Celtic

    Why not play Storie again....I thought he had good potential the times I saw him.

    Why not give Shankland more chances when he had talent.

    Why not play 4-4-2 with McGinn as striker partner.if you're going to try things, why not that.

    Why not pick a team who can beat the Hun by a few goals like farts did.

     

    We have the players but I think 1 man is letting us down atm.

     

  12. well Shinnie is our new striker it seems.

    How fecking far up the park does he need to be?hes a left back DM.

     

    I'll say it again...Rooney is a waste of a whole 90 minutes.

    Stockley should be on all day long with burns playing off him.

     

    McGinn as quiet as can be should've been on too.was DM saying that he gets caught missing v Celtic?

     

    was OConnors worst game for us I think.he gave 2 of the goals away at least, maybe all of them.

     

    Shockingly disappointing performance from us.

     

    I felt far far worse when we went out of Europe the same way.

     

    DM u need a far better team talk.

     

    When a player scores a great goal like rogics, that's fine, but to let Forrest just wander past 3 players is pathetic.especially at 1-0 down.

     

    Feel for,the supporters who made it.

     

    Maddison is still feckin ace though.

     

    Jack is a pathetic captain.

     

    I think we should get Storie back in the midfield.hes interested at least and a bit of a hard man.

     

     

     

    I find it funny when dons fans hate the national set up and moan about it being corrupt and Strachan who I don't like, is sh*te and picks the wrong team.

    yet we have our,own manager takin the piss nearly every week out of us and the SPFL set up to let Celtic teams win.
