The pain that women experience during childbirth is nothing compared to pain AFC have inflicted on their fans in the past 20 years. Therefore number 37 is that I can only conclude that the modern Aberdeen fan is a masochist. 38. Stuart milne is bald but used to wear a silly wig

Fucking hell, it beggars belief that people actually think like that.

If we were going to sign anyone from ICT it should be blackie. Im trying to remember the last aberdeen midfielder that combined real tenacity with skill and the 1st that springs to mind is rico. I know he would cost £ but i also know him and special brew do not get on. Not saying we shouldnt try to sign cowie as well though as he's been the key man in ict's recent revival according to a few fans i know

No doubt that JC has his moments of infuriation but if you'd offered me two cup semi's, last 32 of the uefa cup and 4th place in the league before the start of the season i would have been delighted with that. As for signings i'm going to reserve jusgement till i see them but i thought duf was pretty decent against the huns (1st time i've seen him this season)

Seems rather pointless to dredge up a debate on a player that is never going to play for us again. I think it is more interesting to speculate to the future and how Foran (medical providing) will be employed. For the record i rate mackie, he's a pain in the arse to defenders and gets important goals. Not saying he doesnt make me pull my hair out though

What annoys me most about afc is that they let key players get into their last year of contract. I can understand to a certain extent with miller as he had an iffy first season but players like anderson, nicholoson should have been sorted out with extensions long before they were offered.

Its gonna be some game on saturday i reckon. Gutted i cant go. Is the hun game on setanta?

Im with you SS, Utd are pretty much better in every department imo and we will do well to take a point. Also the huns are going to be knackered after extra time last night (still cant believe the huns are in the uefa cup final) and definitely fancy hibs to at least take a point.

Attendance: 8,387 I dont think Calderwood can really be blamed for thinking that 3rd place is unachievable when clearly most of the supporters do. That is a piss poor attendance! Dont get me wrong im not the guys biggest fan but i dont blame him for taking the opportunity to look at potential players when they are playing in 1st team games. Unfortunately that is likely to co-incide with when we are also playing. Good result today i thought, from what ive seen off hibs mixu has them playing for each other in a way collins never did.

8 games. Get through the intertoto you go into the 2nd qualifying round of the uefa. I reckon no europe next season definitely has its advantages. Less pressure on what will be a re-vamped squad. As much as the extra revenue would be a bonus i personally see a strong league finish and cup final as my priority for next season. Europe has given us some great highs this season but i cant help but feel its helped paper over the cracks a bit too.

Fair play to him for saying it but reckon zander is going to get pretty hefty fine from the sfa for this

Dont know where to stand on this one. JC would be right to take a hard line with unruly players challenging his authority but on the flip side his tactics are shite. Its a toughie

Yeah i know what you mean ajja, the only player/s i'd be disapointed about leaving are miller and nicholson. The squad definitely needs a spring clean, particularily in midfield. Hell it might even give seve a kick up the ass enough to make him the player he was a few seasons back.

Unfortunately its not stopped me getting dogs abuse, mainly from fucking ICT fans

Didn't see it, im 5 hours behind uk time and woke up just after it finished. You know its weird, i thought i'd been through it all in terms of disapointment in the 90's and early 0's. Unfortunately not, aberdeen are still able to bring me to new lows. Its hard to comment on a game i've not seen but this really is a kick n the teeth. Losing a semi to utd was hard to take but at least they are a decent side. Calderwood has a lot to answer for after today. He's had some impressive results in charge of aberdeen but there is no excuse for shipping 4 goals to a 1st division side

Yep i think so to. Its a shame but thems the breaks

I'd go soutar for this one as i dont think he's done anything to warrant being dropped. Mind you he didnt the last time either but JC was right to make the change given clangers performance against dnipro. When it comes down to it i reckon clangers is a better shot stopper than Soutar, can see him playing in the final providing we dont fuck up on sat. Personally its not a decision i envy calderwood having to make.

It hardly ruined his career VDA just his final game. Probably Anton Rogan, Mark walters played for the other half of the axis of evil No surprises there

24:10:1995 against the huns in the league cup semi. For years this was the best day of my life. Was at the 4-0 game and though obviously gutted it didnt seem that bad as it was such a joke having to play a striker in goal for 88 minutes. My worst hampden memory doesnt involve the dons im afraid. It was the scotland italy game last year. It was hard enough seeing them get the last minute winner but i was holding it together. Then i got a text saying that it had been a foul on hutton and that we had been robbed. Needless to say i lost the plot a bit and went on a total bender! On the flip side though the bounce when ferguson scored was without doubt the best i have ever been in.

I was told by a hun that it was the 17th which left me distraught as i would have been on a plane when the game was being played. Thankfully a good samaritan made my year when she informed me that it was in fact the 24th which is also the first day of a 3 week holiday for me. In the words of glen quagmire "Gigggigigigigigdy"

Some of them didn't. Couldnt help but snigger when i saw this from some boy on caley thistle online. "Will be same old story....level till last few mins then they will nick it at the last moment" I still think that in terms of getting it right up them lovell's last minute equaliser at pittodrie last season tops the lot though. I dread the day they beat us, in a perverse way i kinda hoped that it would happen today since i was 8000 miles away and wouldnt have to face the consequences

First ict away game i've missed in two years. Gutted yet delighted! The ICT fans i know are not happy at all!!!!!

Yeah that is the shitter of the season not the league form. Im still hopefull we might keep miller and nicholson. I a cup final leading to europe next season might be eonough to get them to re-sign

At the start of the season im sure we all answered the hopes for the season post either here or on hat. I for one said that i wanted a good run (group stages) of europe but more importantly a cup final. No disrespect to qots but i reckon that my big wish is in the bag. Its been a hell of a season full of highs and lows and whilst work prevented me from a euro away game i did at least make the copenhagen game. I can see where you are coming from ajja and we are certainly inconsistent but in terms of growing as a team im not so sure. I think the squad will have learnt a lot from the rigours of playing in europe and the knackering effect it clearly has. Add to this the cup runs we must have played at least 15 games more than we had this time last season. These were all very meaningfull games too and i think the benefit from this will be seen toward the end of the season and certainly next. If we had a five more players in the squad i think we would have been a lot more consistent.

Whatever
