Yep pleased for Foster. Certainly wasn't among many peoples picks for a starting berth at the start of last season, but he really came on to a game as the season went on, and won over most of the boo boys along the way. Big test now having set the standard in that he not only needs to maintain that level but indeed develop further. If he succeeds he really could turn out to be an asset to AFC. Good luck Ricky

and did he have anything to do then ?

Mmmmm thought this might of been an ideal game for Derek Young to get among the goals, but apparently not then

Inverurie Locos 0 Aberdeen 3 Maguire (14, 31), Kurrant (25)

Dons one up in fourteen minutes, Maguire the scorer

Can't imagine it is a "big" name keeper if he isn't even getting a start as a trialist

This whole trip to Egypt just keeps getting better and better

Yep I'm heading up to Tannalice for this one. Taking the loon with me so got to drive, maybe just a quick pint afore the game, but certainly a right few to celebrate the three points when I get back down to Ayrshire later

Being factual is not neagative Cheers mate

F/T 5-1

Am I being negative in suggesting that perhaps todays opponents are maybe not up to the standard of the previous teams we played in Egypt

In true Caplocks style I guess that means A MILLER HAT TRICK

Currently 2-1 up Lost a goal in 6 mins and replied through Smith[20] and Clark [21]

Sorry to be the one to do this to you mate, but it is DEREK we have signed

To me it speaks volumes...... Yep got to confess to having had a sneaky peek in there as well Mizer. Expected them to be completely and utterly ripping the pish, but actually thought their comments were pretty tame under the circumstances.

If I live to be 100 don't think I'll ever understand this one.... Brewster and Young to start up front on 4th Aug Ah fuck its not even remotely funny.

What a great experience going to Egypt has been then ....... Two defeats, two players suspended for opening league game, two players in a car crash,manager admitting it was a waste of time, maybe we should have stayed at home and played someone like Ajax

Pre-season freindlies and Pre-seaon tournaments are apparantly classed differently regarding suspensions. So as this is a pre-season tournament, Clark will miss the United game. Copied from another site, so can't guarantee accuracy of this statement, but seems to be at the back of my mind that this happened to Rooney a couple of years ago

suspended? How many cards has he received in the competition so far?? 2 - one in each match. 2-1 Aberdeen now, with both teams down to 10 men. And Clark suspended for the league opener I believe Not been the most successful of pre season tours tbh.

I also have a horrible felling seeing JC's pre season line ups and reading about how fit Special Brew is that we're going to start the new campaign with a 40 yr old as our first pick striker.

I take your point Drewsome and I'm with you on it, but I guess the point I'm making is that AFC don't demonstrate inituative like this. Still can't believe that as a club we see playing Highland League clubs and lower Scottish League Clubs as a better pre season option than playing the likes of Ajax or Barca. On that point, what exactly are the club doing to generate interest in the supporters pre season..... not exactly inundated with glamerous games at Pittodrie are we

H'min this is Aberdeen we're speaking about..... we don't do things like that, unless of course you know someone out there prepared to underwrite the costs and pay us shit loads of cash for coming out there

reading that i'd suggest that JC is stil spinning the tombola to try and stumble upon a team and formation.
