SeeBass

I know it would never happen because he's sitting on a good thing warming bench for Leicester City but surely if we're after a new goalkeeper somebody of the same ilk as Danny Ward should be pursued. Danny's 29 in June and should if he has any personal aspiration or ambition really be playing first team football elsewhere.

Is it a bit crazy of me to point out that the only two league victories we had since Boxing Day 2021 are why there is just a six point gap between us and relegation play-off games?? That a pretty scary realisation for even my nervous system.

Still get annoyed when I see that penalty given to Bayern Munich against Alan!!

About a month ago we were just roaming YouTube and came across this Belgian girl doing a Live version of her song Ragamuffin and just loved her presence. Went to see if she had new material out so for a laugh ordered 2022's "Persona" CD which is travelling to the flat from France as we speak. Below is a single from this collection. Must say we do like overall vibe regarding woman herself.

I see Alan and Mark have taken temporary charge of Edinburgh City. Not a pairing we ever saw coming together!!

When Darren Mackie made it 2-2 I was warned by the barmaid in my local pub we would be asked to leave if acting like an idiot again. You see I'd slid right along the floor of said lounge on my knees!! Town I live in has a maximum population of 3,000. Bar we were in is classed as 'Celtic' but still poor showing from woman behind counter that day. Watched second-half in old man's establishment down road a bit all by myself. Not sure how I'd have reacted coming from 4-2 down with late Stephen MacLean double if still in first premises!!

Me too!!!!!! I always remember how it felt like Paul Bernard took an absolute eternity to score his goal.

Has anybody been in an away end at a European game with a result like tonight???? Danish support must be full of mixed emotions.

Kowalski, don't know if you're onto something but Jack Collison supposedly retired from playing SIX YEARS AGO ON THIS DAY FEBRUARY 13TH!!

Do we know what squad number he's been given?

Flicking through my football stuff and realised how important this photo with Nicky Weaver was. I know he only made two appearances for us but picture taken away to Motherwell in August 2013 was first game back just four months after we lost our Mam to primary Lung secondary Brain cancer following some 56 day battle with her illness. Fact he represented both my teams is something that got me thinking. Is there an Aberdeen player who also played for your second team?

Ramsay, MacKenzie, McCrorie, Campbell, McLennan, Barron, Ferguson, Polvara, Besuijen, Ruth. What an Aberdeen U-23's team that is!!! Just need a goalkeeper! Bring back Tom Ritchie from his loan!

I find a player's career like Josh's quite fascinating. Goes on loan as a teenager from his hometown area and does what he did against Bayern Munich never to be really seen or heard from again except a short stint in India where one shall win their National Cup before retiring at thirty.

Just the guys at Red Tinted Glasses are going to give me a name drop when they interview Josh Walker. They'd forgotten he had finished his career as captain of Edinburgh City after scoring his first senior goal on loan with us against Bayern 'Bloody' Munich aged eighteen!!

Anybody heard if the club has invited up Josh Walker as a special guest seeing as he ended up playing and captaining Edinburgh City before injury curtailed his career. That and fact he scored such a glorious goal his first senior strike against Bayern Munich in a memorable Last 32 UEFA Cup tie at Pittodrie!!

What are some of the best Aberdeen FC podcast we should be listening to??

I just wanted to share a very special ride I've been on since fighting some horrible depression in February 2018. Please watch the 23 minute YouTube video I've shared too and let us know what one does think. Back on Friday 16th February 2018 we settled down around 10pm as was going to watch Aberdeen play Hibernian at Easter Road following day. Lying in bed I had this very scary suicidal ideation episode. What I was experiencing can only be described as an awfully hot, penetrating, throbbing sensation on right side of my head (brain damaged side) with a voice trying to convince me to kill myself. As one can imagine and appreciate with that amount of brain damage my overall mood from a psychological, mental, emotional aspect can be extremely up and down. It usually depends on how stressful life is treating me as to response we have regarding these important feelings. Tried reaching out to some friends but they were useless. I then phoned 111 and was put in touch with Distress Brief Intervention Team a fairly new NHS Initiative recently rolled out at time to just four regions in Scotland who spoke with me every day on phone for 17 days and came to take one for a coffee at our local bistro maybe four or five times. A few weeks later after receiving little to no support from family and friends we were diagnosed with some depression by my neurologist Dr Myles Connor. Literally spent eight to ten weeks in bed. Not a phone call, text message, email, Facebook post, visit to my flat, nothing from anybody. One morning in September/October 2018 about 2am while struggling to sleep we switched my smart TV on and put YouTube up. There was a recommendation for the Southern New Hampshire University Women's Soccer Team. Clicked on it and watched last hour of a match which we enjoyed so much I looked for details of their next game which was a couple of days later and tuned in again once more really enjoying myself so reached out to them on their Facebook page and started to follow them more closely as a result. Their Head Coach a guy called Elie Monteiro ended up sending me a signed shirt from all of the 2018 squad. I sent him my prized 2007-08 Aberdeen European scarf as a thank you. Towards end of 2019 season I couldn't watch them as professional body of the soccer system over there requested all Universities coverage be linked together on a single website accredited to the association. Think it was a case of living in UK I wasn't allowed to watch something in US. For obvious reasons their 2020 season was cancelled so went 22 months without them before 2021 campaign was given go ahead for beginning of September. However I did get a 'Happy New Year' video message from four of the team in December 2020 which absolutely ruined me in a good way of course. Can click on the SNHU icon below YouTube link of my Goodbye Message that also is above it and watch 25 second clip. 2021 season ended in early November after they created history by winning the program's FIRST EVER Women's Soccer North East Ten Regular Season Championship with some 11-2 conference record although their complete record read as thirteen wins, two losses and one draw because they play three games against teams outside conference. Sadly as No.1 seed they lost the Play-Off Quarter-Final tie (top eight sides after conference play finished 1st playing 8th, 2nd versus 7th, 3rd against 6th while 4th plays 5th kind of thing) at home to Southern Connecticut State University 2-1 after taking lead in second minute and losing goals after 68th and 75th minute. Was a strange way to see them lose actually. From start of schedule they'd been on some thirteen game unbeaten streak (a run which equalled 1989 side) until St.Rose their nearest rivals beat them away 1-0 with thirteen seconds to go in overtime. For some strange reason if a game is tied after 90 minutes they play two ten minute periods and first team to score wins or it stays a draw after twenty minutes with no further goal. In September 2021 Elie messaged me to ask if we wanted to have a 2.30pm their time 7.30pm my time Zoom chat with the girls before training. I agreed not expecting the whole 28 ladies in squad to be present in the changing room! Wasn't a set agenda but thought we'd maybe speak with say three or four of the girls for five minutes. Got a full half an hour with them. Was asked by Elie to tell the girls how I came across them and all about my disability. A very humbling experience to say the least. Not many people have made an effort to hear it. They then asked me a couple of questions. The two goalkeepers 'Z' and Hannah gave me such a great memory by jumping out of their seats to high five each other as told them coming from Manchester we supported Manchester City as they too follow Etihad club. I asked them if they had any nicknames for each other and this got us talking about my nickname of last 28 years 'SeeBass'. I was getting bullied at High School and some lad I knew and respected shouted; "Kick their Ass SeeBass!!" Must come from Dumb & Dumber film and was intended to try get us to stand up for myself. It just made me slump to my knees in laughter and so 'SeeBass' stuck. Also made Oriane Hoeman cry but got told they were happy tears as she got emotionally involved over my life story. Even have a nickname we came up with for Allyson Patterson. Started calling her 'Little Iniesta' before she completed her time with program at end of season. A lovely photo with the girls at end of Zoom chat was taken and is attached below. Got it blown up and framed. Means the world to me. A few days after Zoom chat we were sent a photo which I've attached to this email showing one of the girls with my nickname on her wrist. Coaching staff must get the girls to write a name of somebody on some white tape as a reminder when things aren't going great in a game as to who they are fighting for and representing. Cried like a newborn baby gesture meant so much to me. Six of the team have now had their maximum four year stint with program so like Allyson Patterson won't be playing from start of 2022 campaign. I'm utterly gutted as I've invested three years of my life into these half a dozen girls. How can you not care about these ladies after such a journey with them. If you'd have said to me that within the space of three years I'd have went from being on the verge of wanting to kill myself to being so happy for my girls winning program's first ever Regular Season title with a 22 month break without them in-between because of Covid-19 we'd ask you what one had been smoking! It is a story I feel needs to be heard given how much they have given back to me more so after winning that accolade above. Included a picture Elie sent of their end of term Christmas gathering with our trophy. Five of the girls were sadly on way back home having booked plane and train tickets early. Even sent the assistant coach some gift last year when he lost his 91 year old father. Just wanted to cheer him up. Again photo attached. Team photo in the dark is them at the venue evening before their NCCA 1st Round cup game against Mercy College. They travelled four hours to said 'Big Apple' but frustratingly lost 1-0 with a 20th minute penalty to opposition winning match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjiprJxgbAk SNHU.mov

Jute, still playing but just Border Amateur Division One from what I'm told. I used to report on Coldstream in East of Scotland League between 2000-03. Question to yourself and everybody on forum. Which future Aberdeen goalkeeper seen above gifted Border side their two goals in Scottish Cup Second Round tie at Home Park in Season 2000-01? I wrote back page match report for local rag Berwickshire News that afternoon.

I've lived in Duns thirty years now and followed Aberdeen since 1989. Given how important the team has been to me for a large chunk of that three and a bit decade we find below statistical information quite thought provoking. Only about a five minute walk from where this match would have taken place.

I'm quite invested in his chat about Right To Dream Academy as we have a high school friend called Gareth Henderby who has worked for above set-up for well over a decade maybe even longer I'd need to speak with him and validate our assumption. He is married to a Ghanaian woman and has a child by her. Last we spoke Gareth was their Technical Director and he is always sharing stuff about a trip here or there to Denmark. Is a Rangers fan and must have been given a ticket to go watch them play Brondby this season in Europa League Group Stage. Below is a photo of me and one of their graduate called Serdic. He was playing for Manchester City U-18's against my local team Duns Amateurs here in Scottish Borders 2014. Etihad club had sent a team up to open our New Hawthorn Park ground. What is everybody thinking regarding Dave and his idea??

One of my all time favourite quotes from an Aberdeen player is the below from Danny Ward once his loan was cut short. Just love the 'Kilmarnock to Kazakhstan' reference. People got any other memorable quotation?

I've been watching this cartoon wrestling channel for a number of years now. It does give me opportunity to switch off from life. One has been able to have six Celebrity Royal Rumble uploaded in my name. Here is the greatest cast ever selected by Mr Seymour from the six Rumble's Prince has done for us over last three years. Bearing in mind I've chosen 180 different characters I decided to pick five each from these six Rumble's for who had made most impact like the six winners, who got most eliminations in each Rumble, to who was eliminated quickest in each Rumble, to who started Rumble at No.1 and No.2 that sort of thing. Must admit it was nice seeing some of the old faces. Even got him to give a shout out to three Aberdeen players that joined club in Summer. You'll hear it when one does hear it. LOVE IT!!!

When we signed Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Christian Ramirez and more so once Marley Watkins had returned permanently one prayed this trio would be a massive success. I've lost a lot of love for my team since Rooney, McGinn, Hayes were broken up. I've always thought our current No.7, No.9 and No.14 could have same huge imprint on me that Shearer, Windass and Dodds did in nineties. I would love nothing more than to see above trio bang in around thirty to forty goals between them. Discuss.

Can somebody PLEASE UPDATE our 2021-22 Wikipedia page with Scott Brown scoring in 16th minute?? It is annoying me!!

Just seen Clydebank vs Elgin City is on BBC Scotland. Not long clocked a flag with 'Aberdeen Bankies' written. Since when??
