    2-1 Miovski & McGrath

    Meant to say previously, I had the conviction in my forecast to place a tenner on Miovski first goal scorer and 2-1 us @ 155/1.

    At least the dream was alive for the first hour 😉

    I'm probably going to watch a fair few of these (well, have on my second screen whilst I play football manager anyway) and given some of you might be interested I thought I would post my thoughts on them here.  

    home to Kalmar this eve, 6pm KO.

    Goal down already.

    He's already downed tools, doesn't give a fuck. He's Aberdeen through and through now, just going through the motions with those Swedish losers.

    Think Rico has called it

    Scales and 10 mill and I’d pay attention. FWIW, hasn’t scales been one of their better players this year? 

    Apparently not according to him and comments I have read elsewhere online.

    To be honest stopped paying attention to him as soon as it became clear that Roy wasn't going to sell him to us

    Biggest signing of this summer will be Miovski’s new contract!

    Tim suggested to me (and yes he was being completely serious) yesterday that in the summer they will give us Scales and £1m for Miovski and that of course we would take it.

    Deluded fuckwit doesn't even come close to summing that up

    I wonder what sort of markets we will be looking at this summer. It seems very likely to me at least a couple of the new bodies coming in will be from scandanavia.   I wonder Thelin will raid his old club 🤔

    I've had the impression (rightly or wrongly) that clubs from a number of Scandinavian countries target players in the African continent with a view to developing and selling on at profit.

    Will we see us targeting that market in the way we seem to have done with the Balkan countries ?

    Oh, sorry, forgot to complain about the earliness of this thread appearing. Disgusting. Makes me sick.

    Quite fucking right Rico.

    Somewhat delayed reaction to your post but only just noticed this comment.

    Even I didn't have the audacity to start it the third week in February 😉

  7. Just home.

    Tired and emotional, what a fucking bounce in our end. Not good for a man of my advanced years.

    I have been to many a semi or final o'er the years and that one had the potential to be the greatest ever at Hampden.

    Going into the penalty shoot out, given the manner of how we got there I felt certain this was finally our day against them at Hampden.

    Haven't seen any TV pictures of the action, haven't yet read the comments on here but surely Robertson and his chums on VAR had a howler ?

    Actually, I don't agree with that.  I think it just needs taken to the court of arbitration for sport by hearts, hibs and Aberdeen.  It would get sorted out very quickly and the precedent would then be set. 

    Fair point TLG, problem with that is none of the clubs have the balls to take this on.

    Only occasion it might have been potentially possible would have been during the Mad Vlad period at Hearts in my opinion.

    I just read about Hearts perhaps having to pay for the unsold tickets, it's fucking scandalous. The default should be fairness, with everything else an addition. It's incredible that we've allowed unfairness to be the default, and fairness comes with a few. It's genuinely still staggering after all the years of it happening. 

    It'll never change until they fuck off and leave the rest of us to get on with it.

    The league would be more competitive, more entertaining and fairer.

    Yes, we might all have to pull our reins in financially but over time it will sort itself out.

    I fear it won't be in my lifetime, if indeed ever.

    Post split fixtures have been released, I'd say they've fallen kindly.

    https://www.afc.co.uk/2024/04/16/23-24-post-split-fixtures-confirmed/

    Our 2023/24 post-split fixtures have been confirmed by the SPFL this afternoon. Our final five games of the season will see the Dons play three games at Pittodrie and two on the road. We start our post-split fixtures on Saturday 27th April at home to Motherwell and round off the cinch Premiership season with an away trip to Dingwall to play Ross County.

    Confirmed fixtures:

    Date Fixture Home/Away Kick-Off
    Saturday 27th April Aberdeen v Motherwell Home 3pm
    Saturday 4th May Aberdeen v St Johnstone Home 3pm
    Sunday 12th May Hibernian v Aberdeen Away 3pm
    Wednesday 15th May Aberdeen v Livingston Home 7.45pm
    Sunday 19th May Ross County v Aberdeen Away 3pm
     

    Hopefully get this tied up in first couple of fixtures.

    God help us if we're off to Dingwall on the 19th needing a result 😲

    If Elfsborg announce Jimmy Thelin to Aberdeen on our behalf, that would be quite funny. Although I suspect we're hastily arranging a social media post for lunchtime to proceed it.

    No word of a hastily called press conference circulating at work Panda ?

    Not sure some of our previous managers were even aware they had substitutes.

    And in the case of Robson at home v PAOK, when he did, he royally fucked the team and the flow of the game

    Said before I think it’s just wrong time for us to appoint McCabe. Mixture of him not being in charge long enough at Airdrie and us having been burnt by having inexperienced managers in last few years. As Orlando says I will be very surprised if we do not go with a manager who has been in a job for a number of years and has a longer track record than McCabe. 
     

    I do however think that McCabe is doing a great job at Airdrie and will move on to a bigger club hopefully before he gets Airdrie promoted. 

    Agree with every word of that tbh.

    Think he is possibly the right man at the wrong time for us.

    Suspect he'll be away from Airdrie by the end of 2024.
