  1. I'll bet Jimmy is stuck in 2 minds about this one.  On one hand there's a chance for his beloved Rangers to win the Uefa Cup and on the other there's a chance that he'll have to rearrange the flight to Majorca he no doubt has booked for 5pm on the 18th May.

     

    I actually wouldn't put it past him to not be in the dugout if the game is played on the Thursday. :-\

  2. Yup, too late.

     

    Draw has been made too, so Hibs (probably) will have to play a team from Sweden or the Faroes before having to play a team from Latvia, Israel, Wales or Ireland.

     

    Then they can get horsed by Dnipro.

  3. Was never going to work. Guy was finished before he came here. He hardly played in over two years before he came to us as his knees were gone and should not have been touched. And before people say anything about 20/20 hindsight please look at old posts on AFC chat and on here when we first signed him and you will say me saying something similar.

     

    Yes yes, you were right. :thumbsup:

     

    Anyway, he's gone. :ultras:

  4. I've never been too keen on Miller.  I'm sure people on here will say that his flicks and holding up play has improved over the season, but it's just not enough to merit a similar contract.  A big wage cut and a 2 year deal is what I'd give, with more performance related bonuses.

     

    Someone should just go up to him and say that the best striker at Pittodrie this season was, for 2 games only, Craig Brewster.

  5. Since the season has finished, it's time to start reminicing about the highs and lows of the season just gone.  So I'll throw up some random catagories to kick things off.  All pretty self explanitory.

     

    AFC Player of the season

     

    AFC Goal of the season

     

    Bounce of the season

     

    Game of the season

     

    AFC Cunt Award (who at the club is the biggest cunt?)

     

     

    And in other catagories

     

     

    SPL Cunt of the season

     

    SPL Shitest player of the season

     

    Best grub award

     

    Best away boozer

  6. While I am disappointed with the result I also appear to be the most realistic here. Okay, we should be able to beat QoS with our team, but look at our season? We've been erratic all the time, and have had two good performances v Copenhagen and Bayern. Other than that, we've not  been very good in more than one game in 10. Hardly surprising really. It's not like we outplayed Celtic to get here either, just scored the necessary one goal more than them.

     

    Anyway, agree choice of substitutes was possibly ill advised. However, although I've not seen the highlights, I reckon the fact that Diamond was trying not to get booked possibly contributed to the poor defending and maybe one of the goals. He put himself ahead of the team which suggests that maybe I'm wrong in backing him for captain.

     

    Soutar is just not a decent goalkeeper. No communication, stayed on his line most the time. Langfield is better than him but we still need someone better.

     

    At the end of the day though, Jimmy has had £500k to spend in 4 years. That's not his fault. He's done his best on free signings and got us some good players, some of them maybe haven't lived up to our expectations for various reasons, but at the time we were happy to sign Lovell/Severin/McNamara etc. Despite our history etc these are just the times we live in, we need money to progress from here.

     

    Finally, this was always potentially going to happen. Queens were underdogs, incredibly up for it and were always going to work harder than us. It's just like how Barnsley beat Liverpool and Chelsea. These things happen. We need to move on and build a new team for the future now.

     

    PS. We had no luck today, at all. 2 penalty claims and Diamond hitting the post and crossbar. They had a bit of luck.

     

    Come on now.

     

    Today is for rash reactions and harsh judgements.

     

    In my opinion, right at this moment, everyone associated with AFC can get tae fuck.  This opinion might differ tomorrow but whilst I'm drunk and pissed off they can all leave tomorrow.  I'm starting to sway towards the opinion that something at Pittodrie is rotting to the core.

  7. Matthew Cassidy ????

     

    19 year old central midfielder/rightback - released from Bolton's Trainee Academy - apparently being chased by Aberdeen (amongst others)

     

    (source Sky Sports last night, )

    Anyone seen or heard of this guy?

     

    This is a job for fatshaft I think.

  8. I see the weather forecast has been degraded down to light rain/showers for saturday. I will be leaving my coat and wearing my new red hoody. Chimp try and not lose your coat this time cos I wont have a spare with me  :thumbsup:

     

    I'll be wearing what I normally wear.

     

    And I'll be safe enough.  I've never lost a jacket at the football.  That jacket loss was a hangover related fuck up.

     

    I hope Stefan fucking Hitler is enjoying it. ::)
