To each their own but I'm quite the opposite. Can't wait for next season now

Exactly Al.

Aye there's not much difference between euro and conf league cash wise. You could argue the conference is a better option for a club our size as we are more likely to progress. Hearts should have got out of their group but, unfortunately for them, they are Hearts.

I've been wondering about seeing if we could get Bojan on loan too I must admit. He's not had much of a sniff at Girona since coming back from injury. Did anyone see Mcgrath hug Thelin during the post pen celebrations? His eyes pure lit up when he saw him then he launched himself at him to hug. I thought that was quite interesting given Mcgrath didn't even get a place in the squad and is also leaving. It shows impressive man management if you ask me.

Happy Sunday Champions!!!!!!!!!!!! What a day btw. 35 years I've been waiting to see us lift that bloody cup. 35 sodding years. I know most of you have been as well but for me it's just that bit more poignant than most due to the 90 cup final being the first ever football match I watched all the way through and because I had wanted to. I've often wondered how my life would have looked if we had lost in 1990 as it was such an awful game...... I might not have got so into football. To win it again means an awful lot to me and I will never forget 24/05/25. Huge credit has to go to Thelin. It's good to see him show some flexibilty formation wise but even better to see him do it so effectively. I don't think it's unreasonable to say we looked like we had been playing a back 3 all season and for the vast majority of the game we held celtic at arms length fairly comfortably. All the players stood tall as well. Palaversa played his best game in red if you ask me, Devlin put Kuhn in his back pocket despite playing on the left (and looked just fine on the left in general) and Jack Milne came in and quite frankly strolled through the game. Shinnie was a titan in the midfield. Celebratory specs off though and this is such a massive result. Thelin has regained the credit he had from the support from the great start to the season that had been eroded away. The squad will get a good amount of time off and still get a full pre season in because of the later start in Europe. That is huge imo, I would say with all the likely and confirmed departures we are going to need about 8 players in who can go straight into the team. With our first European game now on the 21st of August instead of the 24th of July (suck it up you jutie cunts) all new signings should be should be far more up to speed by that point. Also, on that note, this is a result that will have raised some eyebrows across europe given the whole year of the underdog schtick and as such we just became a bit more attractive to players we target. Put it this way, if Milanovic was having any internal doubts about moving to the other side of the planet to play for Aberdeen I suspect yesterday probably made them go away. With Cormack promising to back Thelin yesterday and the extra 6 mill we are defo getting next season this has potential to be a really exciting window for us.

The good run at the start of the season has bought him wiggle room with the fans I would suggest.

It's genuinely impressive you found a way to make that funny

The question would be for me is how good would Mackenzie be there after not playing for the better part of 3 months

I think it more likely Jensen goes to left and Devlin comes in at rb but I defo think it would be prudent to move Shinnie into the middle for this one.

When this cunt gets named he's going to be hated as much in Aberdeen as Jack and Barron.

As first seasons go it's been an odd one. First he breaks a record for best start ever by the club then goes on the longest without a win run in the clubs history. When we are on it we look a really good outfit but I've not felt this level of fear about crosses into the box since Clangers moved on. All in though, a cup semi,a cup final and euro football next season isn't too shabby as long as you don't dwell on what could have been. Regardless though every report from Sweden I heard (which was 3 or 4 to be clear) all said "you need to give this guy two years before you really see what one of his teams is all about". I've had that in my head all season and I'm not going to start judging him overall until spring 26. The problem I think we have at the moment is that gegenpress systems by their very nature operate on fine margins, particularly when it comes to defending. I'm no coach but best I can tell is that for these systems to work properly, whether it's in defence or attack, players need to be positioning themselves correctly as second nature which takes time to coach into them. This aligns with the "give him two years" advice 2bf. I will say this though, as some of you may remember I watched a good few Elfsborg games before Jimmy left and 100% that team could defend. The first game I saw was against Malmo where Elfsborg had about 20% possession in the 90 but won 3-1 and looked in complete control (I remember being genuinely shocked when I looked at the possession stats at the end given how the game had played out). With that in mind I am hopeful we will start to see the defence tighten up as next season progresses. If it doesn't though Thelin is fucked. I do agree a strong start to 25/26 isn't needed to keep Cormack on board but if we get into January and still really powderpuff at the back Thelin is going to need to start looking over his shoulder.

Touché

I've said a few times now I feel like I'm preparing to attend an execution. I swear to God though if I see one fucking Congo line I'm walking out of the ground immediately

Jesus wept

Well this is a bit more like it

Good, we showed them way too much respect that first half.

Mordor is half full, you can't walk away if you don't even bother going I suppose.

Worst part is Manc best I can tell the tickets won't be sold at all

I'm not going to post the link as it was the sun but utd have cut our allocation to 1800. Basically on the advice of the police because of what happened the last time we played there with Goodwin getting a vodka bottle chucked at him and the utd staff had coins hit them. Which is fair enough I suppose. Slow hand clap to the fucking melts who took part in that

Mcinnes to Hearts appears to be done deal according to my Jambo neighbour. That's a depressingly good appointment for them.

Yeah, fancy us to win this one 2bh. After the ugly sister game last weekend they have zero to play for other than pride and given a lot of them know they won't be there next season I'm not sure how much of that they will have left. It would be particularly nice to get an early goal so the crowd turns on them and we can really go for the jugular.

I think it's quite nice actually, might just get one.

You just know Joe has a really nasally, whining voice.

Fucks sake Panda

Allocation sold out in a day. Attendence fc fans are suitably seething.
