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.

FFS a U Turn across five lanes of oncoming traffic Lucky nae injuries there

take it the Lee Richardson refered to is our very own Rico fecking great midfielder in his time at Pittodrie

Full odds from William Hills 7/2 McPherson - St Mirren 9/2 " insert name" - Hearts 5/1 Christie - ICT 5/1 Collins - Hibs 10/1 Jeffries - Killie & Irons - Gretna 12/1 McGhee - Motherwell 16/1 Levein - D. Utd 20/1 Hughes - Falkirk, Strachan - Celtic, Smith - Huns 25/1 Calderwood - AFC.

But why would they need one of those?! I thought they'd signed Malkowski....... Guess I rest my case then

Thought exactly the same myself about Gus McPherson as I thought that the St Midden board and supporters were pretty happy with what he has done there. Collins from memory is at something like 10/1

See Gretna are desperately seeking a new keeper.
