I reckon it being in the 'AFC' board might have had an impact. I was looking for it during the week and eventually had to do a proper 'search' to release it from its storage spot next to the Ark of the Covenant

18months since the last post on this thread (Thought it was in the 'football' section. Perhaps it should be) Following on from their little trip to Brora they lost at home to Queen of the South and fans had a little protest outside the stadium.

Red tops claiming Russell has been given the all clear to work with the dons whilst keeping his englandshire role

Did folk used to say Claude Makelele didnt do anything, but when he was injured or suspended his teams suffered?

Brewster had a big impact and Id say he was pinnacle in the Dons fininshing 3rd that season. 9 games, 4 goals and set up the equaliser at Tynecastle all at the tender age of 41. As for McNamara......

Perhaps sort out the recent lack of crosses

From Golspie by any chance?

Brora currently 1-0 up against Hearts

And the much maligned Stewart Milne wasn't/ isn't?

Your choice of the term 'forgive and forget' is the problem.

I think you just dug yourself a bigger hole with that last bit

10/04/21 St Johnstone (A) 3pm 21/04/21 Celtic (H) 7.45pm 01/05/21 Livingston (A) 3pm 12/05/21 Hibernian (H) 7.45pm 15/05/21 Rangers (A) 12.30pm

Might bring Louis Moult with him

This thread has taken a bit of a left turn

We just given up on this thread then?

Rico OOT Wee Toon Red Hanging on by piece of dental floss Last time I recall feeling like this about a season was 2009-10. Dons only score 36 league goals that season. With 5 games to go they have only scored 32.......... Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Only allowed to change prediction until closure of January transfer window as along as it is to an empty tally. 74 - MBT 73 72 71 70 69 68 - danthedon 67 - RicoS321 66 - Manc_don 65 64 - Wee Toon Red 63 62 - BigAl 61 60 - Jute 59 58 - Elgindon 57 56 55 54 - Tom_Widdows 53 52 51 50 49 ------- Previous Champions: 2009-10: Dave_min (41 points) 2010-11: BigAl (38 points) 2011-12: Snapper (41 points) 2012-13: Tyrant (48 points) 2013-14: 2014-15: Dandy (75 points) 2015-16: Dandy (retained due to no correct scorer) 2016-17: Rico (76 points - Flawless Victory. Nothing questionable about it at all) 2017-18: Tom (73 points) 2018-19: DantheDon (67points) 2019-20: No winner - DantheDon retains title following an independent inquiry

That McGinn corner sums it up.

just under 22stone

In the wonderful world of the internet Jack MacKenzie is 6ft2 but weights 139kg?! Does he moonlight at the WWE?

35 odd years since Ferguson went to Man united, and Murray was told to GTF by Ayr United to spunked all his cash into Sevco. In that time 105 Scottish trophies have been up for grabs. 82 have gone to the Old Firm with the other 23 split between 12 teams. The Dons have won 4 which still makes them 'the best of the rest' (Hearts and Hibs have 3 each) Would need a complete financial meltdown of world football and televised sport in general for the SPL to go to anyone else. Either that or some mad Aberdonian tycoon sells their billion pound business and then spunks the lot on his boyhood team for the final years of his life, after which the surviving family members gradually pull the investment and the club sinks like a stone. Some Arabs thought they were getting that with Eddie Thompson but £30million in 2004 isnt the same as Jack Walker's £360million in 1989.

Red card number 1.

Sabine Schmitz (Queen of the Nurburgring) - 51 https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/mar/17/sabine-schmitz-former-racing-driver-and-top-gear-presenter-dies-aged-51

I had hope the dark days of demanding the club spend millions they don't have on players who they cannot guarantee will deliver, had been kicked into touch following the examples of Hearts & Dundee in Scotland, and multiple teams south of the border. However more than a decade of tory rule once again spending more than you earn on the basis everything will somehow turn out OK is back. The traning ground is an asset. It allows the club to control when and where they carry out training rather than having to rely on the tide being out, the sports village not being fully booked etc, and looks a lot more impressive to prospective players. It can also generate income from hiring out the facilities and now all the crap that was buried under the 'green-belt' has been removed the value of the land will have increased and will hold its value (suspect there still is and always will be a demand for houses in the Kingswells/ West Hill area.

He might but the question which I certainly want answered is, is would he be hired as 'manager' as in he has control over transfers and hiring coaches,team selection etc or; would he be hired as 'head coach' to deal with the players already there and whoever the board decide to bring in? If it is the latter who on the board is in control over recruitment and what are their qualifications for this role? Could it mean multiple Hernandez style signings, or even a situation as was rumoured to have happened at Hearts when Cathro was in charge ie Glass would have minimal or possibly no control on team selection?
