2 words....Chris Clark. granted he wasn't very good when he left. but now he's abysmal.

that's the 2nd time this week you've tried to crowbar a Gary Speed reference into a thread on here. it wasn't funny the first time either.

exactly. he's only on a 1 year deal now anyway is he not? If this loan move goes through, then there's got to be a fair chance we'll never see him play for the dons again. I hope he makes a full recovers from his seizure related illness, but in pure footballing terms, I'll be glad to see the back of him.

I'll be at that plastikman gig in Brixton as well. there's a good chance the rest of my weekend will be written off due to it. prediction: 1-1 draw.

Agreed on both points. I've no idea who told Fallon he's a football player. I counted at least 4 or 5 occasions where we got the ball midway into their half in a wide position, and he started jogging OUT of their box towards the dons player with the ball. On the rare occasion when these situations turned into a decent cross, low and behold, the 'striker' is on the edge of their penalty box instead of in it. f**kin clueless. if you have no footballing brain, at least run around a lot. Magennis & Mackie manage it. Fallon has no brain and also can't be arsed running either. I'm at a loss as to what he actually does. Clark, I've ran out of words for. some of the basic errors he made were embarrassing. but worse than that, were the times he got the ball in a forward wide position and just stopped and played a 2 yard square pass. I don't know if its a confidence thing but in our situation we need players who are gonna stand up and be counted. not someone who clearly doesn't want the ball. Finally. I like Magennis for the fact he generally does at least try to do something positive when he has it, but after having a shocker and missing from 5 yards when we were 3-1 down he has the cheek to gesture "Come On! make some noise" to the fans when we got the next corner. There was nothing wrong with OUR effort mate, it's you cunts that are the let down.

I think some folk on here need to go have a lie down for a bit. He's more than likely been asked directly by the author of the 'story' "Do you think Aluko will get abuse on his next appearance at Pittodrie?" all he's done is answer the question and point out the fact that it's a job for these players at the end of the day. There's nothing in any of the quotes to suggest he is "Begging" or "Pleading" for fans not to boo him. he's even managed to crowbar in a little appeal to the board about us needing a decent creative player in his answer.

not a quote in sight about him finding his dream move, so basically it's made up pish. he turned down a team just above relegation in the championship for a team 7 points clear at the top of their league and they want to make a song and dance about it? that just shows how low they've sunk these days.

Only game I've seen Fallon so far was the Rangers game, and he was a lazy c**t. I can't judge him too much on one game against top of the league, but in the position we are in we definitely can't afford a passenger.

I'm amazed at the amount of folk out there that genuinely think players need to make decisions based on loyalty. there's the odd exception. say someone that's come all the way from schoolboy to first team then pissing off at the drop of a hat. or a player nursed through a long injury then leaving as soon as he's fit. but in general, it's a living to most of these guys now and nothing more. expecting anything else is pointless.

In/oot: In Prematcher: driving the wee yin to the game full of (misplaced) optimism Match: Away end Postmatcher: driving the wee yin back while be berates me for inflicting him with Aberdeen F.C. for the rest of his life. Prediction: A poor draw.

doesn't mean they all have to be yellow cards tho. If Fallon had been booked for that on Saturday, making it his 2nd yellow I'm pretty sure most folk would have been just as p*ssed off with the decision.

Cheers, I never realised that. although not sure it makes sense that you can be punished for something that is accidental!

How can it be yellow? the red was for deliberate elbow presumably. so are they saying he elbowed him by accident? why would that be yellow?

Don't think Milsom could have said anything else really. with the exception of Roy Keane, not many players will go on record saying their glad a fellow pro is badly injured. thinking about it, the non-red card may well have been worse for Naismith. If he did the damage in the first tackle, then going straight off then might have been less of a tear to the ligament. it's an excrutiatingly painful injury, so presumably it wasn't completely torn at that point for him to play on for a bit. If ?Collum had done his job correctly, Naismith would have been in the dressing room getting his leg checked out, instead of trying to turn on an already damaged knee. maybe a wee bit of karma there.

Is there any news on Milsom's injury? how bad it is? how long he'll be out for? there's plenty of stories about the perpetrator's scans etc but I've not seen anything about the damage caused to Milsom's shin.

He still hasn't quite worked out this "team game" thing, eh? "unfortunately we've been doing well as a club, so ah'm no getting a game."

I fully expect to get pelters for this, but am I the only one that finds that article a bit cringeworthy? While I agree about the crap red card decision, and naismith's shocking tackle etc the way it's written is like something you'd expect from a 15yr old on a chatroom, not an actual journalist's column in a paper. especially ending with the point about HMRC. he might as well have ended with "and rangers fans stink too, na na, na na na" Slagging the sh1t that's written in rags like the Daily Record and then bigging up juvenile crap in the P & J is a tad hypocritical.

While we played some decent stuff, we never really troubled them at their end until the last 5 mins. want to at least see that effort though against the non-old firm teams around us. Clark was pretty poor. Fallon deserved a red just for his total non-performance. If we're gonna go with 1 up front, we need someone that looks like he fancies breaking out of a jog more than twice a game. thought Osbourne was disappointing compared to his general level of performance this season, but Arnason was good.

Nightmare for someone getting that injury so early in their career. ruptured my ACL this year and it's a horrible thing to happen. both in terms of pain when it happens, and then how frustrating it is to not be able to kick a ball for so long afterwards. hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

Taking my 12 yr old to the cinema on Saturday, but if he was allowed in the Rock, then we'd go there first.

Anyone know if The Rock is child friendly?

I think the rocket has a point, although it can be hard to see it through the rest of the confrontational stuff that often cloud his posts. there must be at least some of you here that wonder why we seem to get in managers who appear to be competent elsewhere but fail miserably at our club? Some of what McGhee says should certainly ring a few alarm bells, not just the Milne stuff. some of it also sounds like a very arrogant and hurt guy, getting a bit of revenge, and the bits about John Boyle's mates being friendly etc just sounds petty and added to make McGhee's case sound stronger about the club not being helpful. but I don't think the whole interview can be just dismissed as all sour grapes. Players not listening or taking on board new systems, and complaining about having to train on a sunday is a sorry state of affairs for any club. but for one where the players are massively underachieving it's unforgivable. also, for those that keep mentioning his bit about the gothenburg stuff. if you look at the article, what Mcghee says seems to be a direct response to being asked whether his legend status gave him a bit of slack with the fans, so I don't think this should be taken as him trying to harp back to it for his own gain.

How do the fans pressurise the chairman to look after the club? what would you suggest we should have done/should be doing?

Obviously delighted to see the result on Friday, but I'm probably nowhere near as happy as Milne. A victory against a very poor dunfermline side, and now an international break should see the embers of the uprising against him well and truly dowsed for now. I'll bet he can't believe his luck.

it's funny because part of what 'Blink' talks about is how the ability to judge information can be clouded by the individual's own prejudices and stereotyping. How things like a deep rooted hatred of fat people could introduce bias to your thoughts subconcisouly when assessing an obese chap on something unrelated to his weight.
