Aberdeen have yet to offer a new contract to club captain Scott Severin.

but the article also says

are in discussions with Dons director of football Willie Miller.

and

They have been made offers but Miller has warned the club will not pay over the odds to retain their ser-vices.

so which line is true?

"we dominated, individual mistakes..."

host: "did you see it that way Scott..."

scott booth: "dominate... ha ha ha ha...No"

The Enemy- It's NOT ok

Neds atomic dustbin: Not Sleeping Around

the bit in the article that stood out for me was the bit about telling young his season was over.

What kind of manager tells a player that his seasons over? How is that supposed to work? The fact that Young gave him a dirty look back kind of tells you that the player didn't appreciate it. And then he blabs that the incident to the press?

You have to wonder sometimes about what goes through calderwoods head?

In one of Fergies book's he talks about dealing with the press, and how you never mention the other team just before you play them as it can only back fire.

You build up your team, reinforce ideas you have been saying to your players, and sow seeds of doubt about your tactics. You only mention your enemy's when you are not playing them (like Fergie's classic that caused Newcastle and Keagan to blow it). And you never seperate your players from the team unless it is to praise them.

Yet before rangers last week all we heard was how great wee barry was - and this week he is giving an ultimatum to 2 players, and telling another to go off on holiday.

one option that is missing would be "Gardening Leave"

basically keep paying him his salary - but remove him from the position of manager (ala Gretna and the alexander/irons situation)

advantages would be - no large lump sum payout, and jimmy would really be forced to find another job (and then get off the wage bill - or risk 3 years out of the game and have no reputation at the end of it.

And if he tried a stunt like rowan alexander - his reputation would end up in the bin too!

So Gardening Leave gets my vote {although in know that in reality it would be suntanning in magaluf leave}

the only thing to take out of this comment is ...

Quote from: boboisared

What a crock of shit. If he doesn't like us, he doesn't like us. Get over it.

do people even read stuff on here? where do i express an opinion on the guy. maybe i should have said that he should be applauded for being honest? (oops: just realised i did mention that he wasn't sensible... by being honest)

i made two points:

1) the media often cast scorn on those who don't get behind the gruesome two some

and

2) the media are full of ex-players holding a grudge

neither of which i guess are earth shattering surprises, or news  to any one - just a comment on a chat page.

so take your petulant bile filled crock of shit and stick it back where it came from.

Mr B

this part of your statement is fine

That sort of thing just embarrasses me. Same as the "conga" at the 2000 final.

this bit

LOSERS

is just a wee bit personal and argumentative and ends up with someone biting back.

please try to stop this board from becoming as polarised as kkk-chat: cos that place smells as rotten as denmark these days

and not that you can't have a disagreement on here... just you know... just...

the only thing to take out of this comment is the perpetual "you must support rangers/celtic when they play in europe" piddle that is trotted out by the weegie press, how it raises the co-efficent blah blah, and that all the other teams fans that don't are just petty small minded creatures...

and i am looking at you mr young, et mr trainer...

well that piddle doesn't even hold amongst their fellow journo's in the media - who should know better than to come out and say "i hate aberdeen" (and by saying specifically "i'm no aberdeen fan"  think that can be implied)

the sensible thing would have been to say "i'm torn between supporting my fellow countrymen -but part of my heart will always belong to Bayern"

But unfortunately he is just another of the ex-players from the days when aberdeen used to skelp the old-firm regularly, and who don't have the trophy haul they expected. {this time i am looking at you mr murdo mcleod, andy walker...}
