  1. Would he be able to work alongside Lutz and Cormack though? I don't think he would. I'd say he would be too long in the tooth for our set up, to have someone like Lutz, telling him how to play the game.
  2. On this day, back in 1993, we skelped the huns of Airdrie 7-0, with Mixu scoring four of the goals. Jess, Irvine and Booth were on the scoresheet also. If I remember correctly, it was a cold day and the crowd wasn't great, but the football was. What a strike force. Our attacking threat that day came from Eoin Jess, Scott Booth and Mixu Paatelainen. Imagine having a Dons team capable of scoring seven goals in one game AND keeping a clean sheet. The stuff dreams are made of nowadays. Also on this day, in 1971, our 15 game unbeaten run, with 12 clean sheets, came to an end at Easter Road, with the Dons going down to a 2-1 defeat. Davie Robb scoring for the Dons. The good times will come around again folks

  4. Was McGlynn not at the diets, when they were in one of their administration phases? I can't really mind He did well at Raith and has done a spectacular job at Falkirk. Went through an entire league campaign in League One unbeaten, did great last season in the Championship, which is a tough league, until a wobble at the end of the season and has defied most predictions for this season. Falkirk were heavily tipped for relegation, even their own fans didn't think anything other than a tough campaign ahead for them. They don't even play like the usual yo-yo clubs, kicking anything that moves, bar the ball. They look light years ahead of us footballing wise, which just shouldn't be. I don't think we will have a Scottish manager, I think it will be another European, one with a sketchy record and known to Lutz. If we were to appoint McGlynn though, the key for the appointment would be for him to have a young assistant, who could potentially progress to manager in a few years.
  5. Sokler would possibly as done well as any of our strikers this season, that's not saying much mind, but he would have faced the same issues the rest of them have have. It's not really fair to say he didn't get a chance. He could score a spectacular goal, no question, but feck me, you knew if he was through on goal, one on one with a keeper, you knew it would be a spectacular miss. He had 26 starts and 46 appearences from the bench for Aberdeen and scored 12 goals, six of those coming in the league cup. I like the loon and I honestly hope he goes and has a great career, but best for us and him that he is away.
  6. Killie going all out with Livi, for that relegation spot.
  7. That picture has the haunted look that most Cormack era, Aberdeen managers have. He really isn't the man for us.
  8. I watched it for the first time a couple of years ago and found it to be a really good film.

  11. Our fans are the only fans, in the whole of football to sing obscene songs though. No other club does it.

  13. From the BBC Gossip Column, which quotes The National. Rangers have hit out at the "abhorrent" mocking of the Ibrox disaster by some Aberdeen fans on Sunday. No wonder we all hate them. For what it's worth, I can't remember hearing that one being sung during the game.
  14. I expected better from you min Don't want that fucker anywhere near our club again.
  15. We have tactics, just shit ones. I'm never going to be able to bore the nuts off anyone about tactics, as that shit bores me to death. As stated in an earlier thread, I think the way we play is being is forced down on us from above. I expected Leven to stop the playing out from the back nonsense, but he seems to be setting up differently from when he took charge last time around. Lutz being beside him on the bench, is telling me that Leven is just carrying the can, but not calling the shots.
  16. I agree with you on Polvara. I've read a fair amount of shyte about how bad he was on Sunday and I thought he did fine enough. I also think he is getting a bit more physical, but that just isn't his game. The loon is a good technical player, maybe just not suited best to our league. Thankfully he manned up last May, when he stepped up and put away his penalty. The best thing the club could have done for him when he signed, was to ship him to Arbroath, or some other Championship team to introduce him to the realities of Scottish fitba. For me our tactics are our biggest issue and most of our players are being sent on to the pitch to fail. None more so than our strikers. I actually feel sorry for Lazetic and Nisbet.

  18. You'd think that article was written for an in house hun publication.
  19. I think they can only play for two clubs in one season. Something I read about a loon on loan at Villa from Liverpool. Might be shyte I'm speaking.
  20. Was Lutz sitting on the bench? I never saw him, so couldn't say.
  21. I said to my loon yesterday, that we have written the Hun papers back page headline for tomorrow. I do hope that the cups thrown onto the pitch, were full of pish and not over priced, watered down Pepsi. Far too expensive to be wasting on any of that lot.
  22. Sometimes you are better with nothing when it comes to our player recruitment. I don't know much about the loon, but it smacks of desperation, if true.
  23. I meant to add on my just back post. Does anyone else think Karlsson has chucked it? You may have thought so before yesterday, but he was really poor yesterday. I didn't even know he was playing until well into the first half. I think it is reasonable to suggest he doesn't want to be here now.
  24. Not much to report today. Peter Weir left for Leicester City on this day, back in 1988.
