  2. What he said! Aboot time - now going to laugh my cock off if the tattie munchers deal with monkeys heid falls flat on its arse..
  3. Aberdeen have failed to conclude a deal with prospective manager Mark McGhee, but expect to sign him on Thursday. (Daily Mail) ???????? From bbc spl gossip pages - what a clusterfuck of a headline..
  4. I think the point being made here is that the Arabs and Avril had one over on us for most of the time JC was in charge, kind of a sick jinx. Culminating in the game we lost due to Langfield being in fear of his life due to a couple of lighters..
  5. Might be nonsense dave_min, but thats headlines for you - I would be astounded if we manage to equal it and shell out 300K on a player. Astounded and delighted right enough..
  6. http://www.sundaymail.co.uk/sport-news/scottish-football/sfl/sfl-1st-division/2009/06/07/livingston-hitkid-leigh-griffiths-on-brink-of-300k-move-to-dundee-78057-21421933/ That offer for Leigh Griffiths should calm the crazy Livingston chairman down a bit.. Wish to fuck our board had that kind of money to throw at our squad - here's hoping some dumb yank related to ESPN has been conned into investing
  7. Correct me if am wrong but its to do with westerns. Check Ajja avatar http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/amg/videos/drv700/v714/v71448584tc.jpg
  8. If it is McGhee then good luck to him, am going to keep the welcome aboard until the deal is done. This quote here is unsettling ; "If I had left when offered the Hearts job a year ago my contract would have been extraordinarily better than the one I was on at Motherwell," McGhee went on. "That does not apply with the Aberdeen job so it is not about money. And now look at this.. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/scottish/scottish_sport/346903/Swans-wants-Csaba-Laszlo-to-replace-Roberto-Martinez-Wigan-Hearts.html It couldnt happen could it - Hearts succumb to a bid for Laszlo then Dingus delays due to offer by them..
  9. I would be appalled if Aberdeen finished in Bottom 6 next season and I sincerely hope they don't. Calderwood has left a good platform for whoever comes in to continue improving the respectability we have taken 5 years to earn, it will certainly be interesting to see how our new boss copes with the benchmark he has set. Football is a results business and Top 6 is minimum we can expect from any manager regardless of injuries. WM demands league stages of the Europa League, although I think that is a big ask am happy to use that as a measure against our new boss whoever they may be..
  10. Yes but it could factor in somewhere.. am sure I read on Mad we offered him a 2 yr deal. Wildly speculating that if this 2 yr deal paid better than the 3 yr one he eventually got, then us reneging on our deal with a shot at getting Dorman allowed Saints to take Mair - who knows. All very implausible but who knows..
  11. Maybe some kind of gentlemans agreement with McPherson in the Lee Mair deal allows us a shot at Dorman for a reduced fee.. Straws at clutching - I know..
  12. In November and December, Scott Leitch and I worked really hard to keep the heads up of those who were there and believe there was a day soon when they would get some help. "That's where I feel I did my best work. I feel if I had let it slip then, by the time the likes of Stephen Craigan, David Clarkson, Stephen Hughes and Paul Quinn were back our position would not be recoverable. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/spl/motherwell/2009/04/04/my-kids-wanted-me-to-quit-motherwell-after-fans-abuse-reveals-mark-mcghee-86908-21252651/ Just looking back they did have the entire core of their team injured so I think its fair to say Motherwell had it rougher than some other teams, interesting to read in the same article the 2-0 defeat by Hamilton, also complete cunts to us last season, nearly made him walk away. If he thinks that was pressure then beware the mob of 7 folk outside Pittodrie with bits of A4 adorned with MMG in the future.. Will be truly laughing my cock off if after our first defeat its described as sloppy..
  13. I think McGhee did okay at Motherwell - the first season saw some awesome football. If he came to Pittodrie and replicated the early form they showed then that is the medicine we all need. Calderwood for all the stability and progress made the game more often than not dull. I think many of our fans would be happy with a cup win and bottom 6 finishes if the product on the pitch was more enjoyable, although finishes in the league of this nature would soon hound another manager out the door. At Motherwell they lost their main midfield presence, their best goal threat and played on a pitch that looked like a field, these factor plus a budget considerably less than ours make McGhee an enticing proposition. This season saw them sustain a number of injuries over winter and without those then I think they would have finished above Hibs. I have never been an out and out fan of McGhee and question his ability to sustain a challenge - something I saw as underlined by him signing Bob Malcolm and also Calderwood trumping him on tactics on a couple of occasions. Whoever it tunrs out to be they will get 100% support that goes without saying, right now am more interested in the players who are out there we could attract and what budget is attached to the new position - then we will really see Aberdeens ambition. Dorman, Barr, Arfield, Cregg to name a few
