I don't get this attitude of not wanting a hun as manager, I want the best possible person for the position, and the best possible move for the club.  I didnt care when it related to previous managers and i don't care if it relates to a future manager.

 

I'm not saying butcher would be a good appointment or that he wouldn't but i really don't care for the excuse "he's a hun bastard" and its the impression I'm getting here.  Sorry if ive picked that up wrong.

 

Another thing, I think we'll seriously struggle to attract a manager that will get the fans flooding back, it will take time to get the fans back and i suspect it will take quite a lot of time.

Have to agree 100%.

After all, was our greatest ever manager not an ex Rangers player and self confessed supporter?

It doesen't matter who they played for, managed or supported, so long as they produce a decent team capable of competing at the right end of the table.

Think we'll  be lucky to get 5 Thousand at the game.

Must Go! Utter Disgrace!

Please let it end

Only 180 mins to go then it will be all over, thank f**k. 

Never been so glad to see a season end in all my years watching the game! 

Kerr needs throttled.  Sick of the sight of the cunt. 

Totally agree! when did he last pass to a player in a red shirt? (apart from every Hamilton Game)

Did anyone else see Mulgrew having a heated exchange with McGhee when he was hooked? and was that the reason he went straight down the tunnel?

Didn't Hignett leave because his family refused to move up here?

Seem to remember he was going through a divorce at the time and couldn't get to see his kids. He wanted to move closer to them.

The whole situation has been handled very badly by the club.

If McGhee insists on Sone returning to Pittodrie then bars him from going to Egypt,

I can see Aluko wanting a transfer come January.

Marc De Clerc on his debut!

I can't help thinking Smiths injury problems will end up being sorted by some random cure, like tying a bit of string round his left pinky.

Or maybe a proper fitness regime from the new management team?

It now gives the club time to make (and I hope they've already sounded out) a suitable replacement.

I think they probably have someone lined up already.

The speed of events after today's game would suggest this is the case.

I  agree that he has steadied the club and brought back respectability, but, the standard of football has been pretty dire for some time.

I for one won't be shedding any tears over their departure.

Maguire certainly put in a good shift today. Thought the sponsors should have given him the man of the match award as he chased everything today. Hope he keeps up this kind of effort from now on.

 

Stirling: did nothing of note

 

Be Fair! He did beat the mighty Selkirk 20 - 0 in the cup. 

 

 

but there are 3,000 Dons fans who have stopped coming to Pittodrie since you took over who know better. Watch that figure swell even more this summer.

 

 

 

Already happening! Since the start of the season the empty spaces around us are becoming larger every game. These are seats which were occupied by ST holders who now can't be bothered turning up. I suspect other areas of the ground are the same. This is the result of the dire football served up by the management and the team week in week out. The warning signs are there! Will the Board take heed?

When did we sign this three and why weren't they  in the squad? 

How was Jav Vidal today?

He was pretty good first half and came close with a great run and shot from just inside the box.

Second half he was giving away a lot of simple passes to the Killie players,but not the worst.

Kerr for me. I think he is arguably the best of the summer signings.

So Kerr was sloppy and came second? 

On the whole, most of the team was pretty sloppy today. Passing at times was atrocious.

It was a throw back to days of yore tonight as Jamie Langfield did a "McKimmie" and had a we spat with the South Standers after several woeful kick outs.

At ful time he applauded the Merkland & Main stands and totally blanked the South Stand.

At least Mckimmie would have asked for a square go!.

This was my second game, having been to Vienna in the previous round.

Two great bus trips!  The polis in Liverpool were far more heavy handed than their 

Austrian counterparts despite there being a little skirmish inside and outside the Prater Stadium.

"The longer it goes for us to win the harder it is going to be, but the supporters have been brilliant and I think they can see the effort being put in."

Calderwood in the P&J

"As for the fans, one problem we have is that some of them still think we should be up there with the giants. Now I’m not accepting the current situation for a moment, but I just feel we need to be realistic".

Calderwood in the Times

Is it just me or do these two quotes contradict one another? 

I'm not sure it's all down to Jimmy - yes, he bought the players - but if they don't perform....

In the first half it seemed like chance after chance and no friggin dons player could finish - not sure what jimmy can do about that.

 

 

He could leave a settled side for a start. Changing the defence every game is the best way to ruin a teams confidence.

Please call 01224 878787 immediately!

Can't believe we are 4-2 down after half an hour.

Calderwood shows once again what a great  tactician he is.

 

The Fans

Pros: Backed the team through thick but mainly thin for 15yrs.  Pump thousands into afc.  Will come out in numbers when there is something to entice them in (uefa cup, cup semis)

 

Cons: Too quick to moan. Deserted in droves over the last 2 years despite relative success. Unrealistic exceptions (sic)

 

The fans that are deserting the club are like most of us, all they want is a decent standard of football with players who put their all into every game & are able to have the basic skills to control a ball and pass it to one of their own team mates. There have been precious few entertaining games under JC's stewardship. Yes, we don't get beat by 6 or 7 any more, but with the standard of players in the current squad we should expect more attacking football than we have been seeing over the past couple of seasons. As for unrealistic expectations,I don't think expecting to see your team attack the opposition with a bit of flair in home games is unrealistic! That is the least any supporter, no matter who they support, should be entitled to .

Also, when is someone going to teach the current batch of referees about the laws of the game?

Well it ain't going to be Sandy Roy! No wonder Referees are so poor when clowns like him are in charge of them.
