A good start to the holiday weekend Clark Robertson has also signed a new deal. very happy about Milsom though. Him, Fyvie and Folly make central mid look decent for us next year. Hartley might struggle to break into that group.

because taking money for him under the guise of a "transfer fee for a footballer" might see us fall foul of the trades description act?

Isn't Aluko's curent g/f a former Miss Scotland? probably the only reason he's happy to stay with a club that's going nowhere at the moment. Wonder if an offer from another SPL club with more money would change his mind. despite our recent sh*t run of results, I thnk he's been showing some of his best form in a dons shirt for some time. and he also kept going till the end on Sunday too. he's one of the few players I would not like to see move on this summer.

I agree with your sentiment, but in terms of the message being clear to Milne... it's clear to us on here, and amongst other fans I speak to, but other than the dwindling home gates, do the board really know just how f**ked off we are? We rightly get credit for the backing given to the team on days like Sunday, but does milne see that and think he's doing an alright job? part of me fears that he does. speaking of attendances, what do we think the gates will be for the remaining pointless games against the other diddies of a piss poor league?

Can relate too. 32 last December. I remember some great years at primary school wearing my fav ever dons top (JVC with squares) with pride after cup wins. then secondary at catholic school in Glasgow being progressively shitter. Id never give up, but defeats are hurting less and less which in itself is sad. If the cunts getting paid to ruin our club dont care, why do I pay to watch it and still care? I want my son to be able to go into school after a cup win, and have that glorious smugness in the face of all his Tim classmates for a day. When all the usual snide jokes stop, because the day before, 'little' Aberdeen beat them in their own back yard when it mattered. Harsh reality is that its never gonna happen. hope is a real fucker. Despite knowing we had no chance to day, hope is the reason that 2nd goal still felt like a hammer blow to the stones. Fuck it. Stand Free.

Another hampden day to forget. Another game where langfield pulls off great saves, but ruins it by letting in a soft goal. Another game where the SFA conspiracy took a break. Milsom looked good at times, but then a shocking touch by him led to the 2nd pen. Aluko started and ended well, but disappeared in the middle of game, altho never had much service. Game was over when he came on,but fuck me, Blackman could have at least pretended he wanted to be there. Waste of air. Even had some prick near me start abusing everyone around him for not standing up and singing with him, just to make day even more special. Where now for our club? Pretty soon my 12 yr old is gonna hate me for inflicting AFC on him.

In/oot: in Pre match: trying to get from Girvan to hampden in time Match: section P3 Post match: few beers then back to London Prediction: langfield sent off in tunnel befor game, descends into farce from there.

stick him in the reserves for the rest of the season?

does anyone know why it has to be a 12:45 kick off for TV? Is it because there are there games later that day that can't run at the same time? I'm gonna be in Scotland that weekend, so was looking forward to actually getting to one of our semi's, but there's no chance of me making it through to Glasgow for that time.

I'm all for bullish talk and positive thinking, but this: “We have to take that opportunity by making sure that we do the business this time against St Mirren as we know nine times out of 10 we would beat them.” will probably feature in Lennon's team talk tonight.

I thought Saturday's game was Langfield's Dons career in a microcosm. pulled off a blinding double save, then shortly afterwards sliced the ball out of play when trying to pass to a team mate barely ten yards away. pulled off another 2 one on one saves, before falling on his arse trying to clear up field, almost gifting a goal to the opp. I don't know if it was a fitness thing, or tactical change. but in the early stage of the game we pressed them, particulary in midfield, rushing them into mistakes, but in the 2nd half we were constantly 2 yards of each man and they had time and space to play through us. Also, Blackman seemed to be sitting very deep when he came on. I didn't think Vernon played particularly well, but at least he was around their box when we looked to play it up to him. Liked Brown's interview afterwards. I hope he was even more forceful with his views in the dressing room, because we'll be out come 10pm on Wednesday if there's a repeat of that performance.

tickets I bought are for "west Stand" I think the one behind the goal is the north stand?

In Pre Match: folks house in Glasgow Game: West Stand Post Match: Son's 12th birthday party Prediction: Hoping beyond hope that they don't ruin my son's birthday. he's still not forgiven me for getting him a ticket to Hampden in January...

Pre-match: couch Match: couch hopefiully with an online stream Post-match: couch Prediction: 2-2. done my cruciate on Tuesday, so me and the couch will be seeing a lot of each other for the foreseeable future

Anyone else see the big flag behind the goal at sunderland game on MOTD last night? Or was i seeing things?

Pre-match : watch the 2 ugly sisters embarrass our nation on tv in a pub whilst londoners around us snigger. Match : Rob Roy maybe Post-match: Watch what's left of torres' debut. Prediction : 3-1 dons with an early goal settling the nerves

Smith has signed according to BBc's liam mcleod on twitter.

says on Guardian website the loan was called off due to injury problems at Blackburn.

Cheers, yeah think I'll try there. been in it before for games. Suppose watching with the unwashed is better than no seein It at all.

Someone said in another thread, think it was Manc_don about the famous 3 kings in West Kensington, but I've just phoned and they don't have Setanta. Anybody know where they might show it?

Mancini mentioned that Michael Johnson "may possibily go out on loan" at his press conference this morning. although Leeds are apparently after him so we've no chance!

bollox. cheers for that. Will this 3 kings place be full of conspiracy theorists?

In/Oot: Oot Pre Match: Photography Course Match: Rob Roy pub Post-Match: Mate's 30th Birthday party in Angel Prediction: come back from 1-0 down half time to win 2-1! ben aff the beer since New Year, so can't wait for this Saturday!

not me. I'm gutted. like most folk on here I hate to see any positive news when it comes to Aberdeen F.C. and their staff.

Ahh. a well reasoned response, thoroughly explaining your stance. I guess I've nothing further to add.
