Martindale claiming something unsavoury (racist?) said to Jeremy Bokila by one of our players.

Goal scoring record on a par with Toyosi.

As the markets have all bounced back you can probably suspect this is all about insider trading for his mates.

And mixing up Iceland and Greenland. They don’t seem to give a fuck in the USA thought. Pariah state.

14 goals in 0 matches. Better than Pele.

Agreed but there’s a whole bunch of cretins that must be supporting him / behind it.

Pumped out of the cup at home to Montrose. I’m sensing Booth is having a difficult second season.

Yep. Clarkson is better in the Pirlo role anyway…but needs a Shinnie-type in there with him.

Nisbet looked furious at Karlsson trying to have a pop himself there.

No better than Clarkson at either.

One of the priorities for me, if not the number 1 priority, is getting in a hatchet man in midfield. Shinnie can’t play every week, and we don’t seem to have any steel in midfield to support the likes of Clarkson and Armstrong.

Interesting that Cameron has waltzed in and is immediately taking all the corners.

Not sure what all this means. “When asked about his contract situation, Polvara said: “That’s a whole other situation that I’m dealing with right now, with my agent and the club. “It’s not really something I can talk about at this moment. “There are bigger problems right now – it’s bigger than me, so let’s see.”” Still not convinced he offers much.

They don’t mess about at Real Madrid.

Yes I agree.

Yep. Taking Shinnie and Clarkson off killed any faint hope we had.

Spot on with all the above. In addition, Devlin makes better runs than any of our “wingers”.

Anyone travelling from the south, the road is flooded (but passable) at Laurencekirk and Portlethen. Polis in attendance.

Horrific weather - blowing a gale and heavy rain, with floods due to melting snow. Wouldn’t be adverse to the game being off!

I reckon you’ve been on the sauce.

From P&J: ”Meanwhile, Leighton Clarkson, 24, could yet remain at Aberdeen beyond January, following the change in the Dons’ management. In November, we revealed the English playmaker also looked to be heading for a winter exit. Both player and club – attempting to cash in on the former Liverpool youth as he entered the final two years of his Pittodrie contract – entertained the Scottish Cup winner’s departure in the summer, with an approach from a Polish club knocked back by Clarkson. Clarkson subsequently fell down the pecking order under Thelin this term – starting just three of 17 games as the Swede ruled he did not fit into his midfield. While Clarkson’s camp are still gauging January transfer options in England and elsewhere this window, the re-appointment of Peter Leven as interim boss, and the prospect of a new permanent manager at Aberdeen, is viewed to have improved his playing prospects. Clarkson was a key man, starting nine of Leven’s 11 matches in charge during his previous, successful extended caretaker stint in 2024. Though Clarkson was on the bench for Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat at Rangers, there is hope he will be rewarded for his second half impact as a substitute. It is understood Clarkson’s representative have also been left feeling positive after conversations with Aberdeen sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel.” Wonder what was said by the Penguin, presumably about the broader approach for the team / style of play and what they’re looking for in a new manager.

Broadly agree with you apart from: Gyamfi - I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him and he should get until the end of the season Lazetic - I’m probably in the minority but I think there’s signs of a talented player in there, he’ll come good - he’s just a bit raw at the moment
