The Aliens - Bobby's Song

Almost finished Sean Connery - "Being a Scot". Its quite a read, and very in depth. There's not much autobiographical content, but a whole heap about Scotland (history, royalty, sport, comedians, architecture, art, films etc...). He's thrown his heart and soul into it, and its really rather good.

The same Jimmy Nicholl who said Maguire was the best youngster he'd ever worked with.

Possibly not but the decision appeared to be out with Calderwood's control. I'm sure he'd have loved to have kept Anderson, Hart and Clark.

Darren and Lee are very inexperienced managers. If either is going to become manager of Aberdeen, I'd prefer it to be later in their careers. Somebody with experience and a proven track record working on a limited budget would do for me. Calderwood is going nowhere anyway, for just now...

Same site that said we were signing Kluivert, Koller, Andy Reid, Bamba and (re-signing) Byrne etc...?

Does the "Never" option mean "Never sack him" or "Never give him another game?"

I'd agree with most of that. He's playing like he's guaranteed a start at the moment. The problem is that Mackie/Bebo/Wright are not great but benching Miller could be the kick up the backside he needs. We also have the option of Aluko up front, with Mulgrew at left midfield.

Oops! Sorted.

The Beatles - Love Me Do

Zander.

Spot on 100%.

Its very unlikely Leighton has nothing to do with the signing of goalkeepers at Pittodrie.

Just seen the Celtic's three goals were pretty poor ones from our point of view. Usual story of failing to clear a ball, but I would have liked to have seen Langfield come off his line for the 2nd and collect the ball. Mulgrew's free-kick was a beauty, and his first goal was a very good move. Mackie's chance wasn't as easy as I'd been led to believe. It was typical Mackie (i.e. not scoring in a one-on-one) but Boruc made himself very wide and it wasn't a particularly easy chance IMHO.

Right you are!

I would be hugely surprised if our average attendance this year was 8000ish. Calderwood was appointed on 28th May 2004. Average AFC attendance (SPL games only): 2000-2001 12,403 2001-2002 14,035 2002-2003 11,774 2003-2004 10,389 - season before Calderwood arrived 2004-2005 13,576 2005-2006 12,727 2006-2007 12,475 2007-2008 11,993 2008-2009 12,763 - so far

Typical Glasgow media sticking the knife in. I thought it was a deplorable article for 6 games into the season. I still think we should give him until xmas to see if he can turn it around.

Word for word, it was this: Did you send that in to the Beeb? Or are the Beeb reading this forum?

Incidentally, a comment from "Dons Fan Bobby Biscuit" got read out during Sportscene Results tonight when discussing the CIS cup debacle, sounded like it was lifted straight from here or another forum.

I would suggest that 75% of their "stories" about the Dons are lifted straight from the Evening Express the night before (and some of those stories are lifted from football forums like DonsTalk ). Total rag, just trying to stir things up as usual. Don't know why people bother reading it. Same goes for The Sun.

Thought we were going to hold on for a draw. Sounded like a cracking match.
