Welcome back to the international sporting fold...

Cancelled my DNA membership. Not interested in them pissing more of my money away and the only way that may see any disgruntlement seeping through to the charlatans at the top is if they are hit in the pocket. Feel free to use below as a guide if you feel similarly. "Please be advised that I wish to cancel my DNA International membership (number on account is XXX). Please also pass on to Executive that this is entirely due to the news release today and the utterly shambolic way the football operation of the club is being run. I can no longer financially support such ineptitude and I will not renew while members of the “Football Monitoring Board” are still at the club."

Devlin is sitting next to the stairs, presumably because his knee is in a brace so he can stretch and not have to hobble all the way along the row. I'm not reading a whole lot into that. I'm more concerned about the remaining FMB members sitting together (because it'll never end well if that brains trust is allowed to scheme).

I can see arguments for not appointing anyone until after the cup game - certainly letting Leven take the (drubbing of) the Celtic game. Was thinking about this (now I've had a beer) and we've had our arses handed to us by Killie in the "Winter" Rugby Park fixture for the last 3 seasons now (albeit, the other 2 were by McInnes, who at least was competent), and if we're not sure that any of the current options for "head coach" are going to bring an immediate and sustainable improvement with the current squad, maybe we just hang Leven out as a scapegoat for the rest of the season. He's been a constant through the chaos of the last 3-4 years, so should be getting his jotters once this incumbent spell is over, but does buy time to maybe get more options and gives the new boy an untarnished run from the start of next season. Oh, and Hinchcliffe needs to go with him - because anyone that's managed to oversee making Mitov the shell of the keeper he was shouldn't be coaching any goalies going forward

20% (4) of his entire career total goals (20) have come against... Go on, guess. Back using McInnes criteria for signings.

Theoretically true, but Clarkson hasn't really actually done it since he signed permanently (2 and a half years ago). And he has had many opportunities in that time to do so (both as a 10 and in a deeper role), certainly as many chances as others that are (probably correctly) being dismissed as nowhere near the level we need. I'm not saying bringing Cameron in is a good move, but the evidence is that Clarkson isn't the answer, either.

"Give us money for a stadium". "No" "See you in 6 months?" "Ok"

True - he's left a big gap on the outside right of the officials

Fixed it. Don't see him accepting what they want (or he'll just blame that when it all inevitably goes tits up - hopefully after a long, drawn out struggle in the lower reaches again next season - and the season after in Championship). That said, the pair of them are made for each other

As opposed to your posting on here...

Yes, it was. Off ground, no contact on ball, caught Sokler high on shin. Ref's mistake was not giving the red straight away (after not allowing the advantage).

In RedTV commentary on Airdrie game, they said Heltne Nilsen was missing in previous game (E Kilbride) as he was serving the suspension from red in Norway. If that's correct, he should be available on Monday

Eh, no. I think he proved once and for all that he has no place anywhere near an Aberdeen first team (should anyone have been in any doubt after the Motherwell game).

Appreciate that's how you earn your livelihood, but if this is the case, it is just as big a problem as any Board indecision/incompetence. Anyone in the club that has sufficient clout to be that in the know, who is also providing/giving/selling info of that type to the media (or trusting others with it that are), is a HUGE issue and no amount of improvement in technical structure will change that.
