Good player, I'm delighted with this. Mind you, that means JC has signed two midfielders who can actually play some football. What's going on?

Alan Bastard? (sic)

160 David Murray will Walk Away From Gers

Just another tall tale.

I think the kit looks shit, but most of them usually do. If they'd made a bit more effort to make it look better, they might have got £40 from more people, so I think that's the bottom line that folk are getting at. As long as the kids like it I guess that's the most important thing in terms of the target market.

Sheesh an awful lot of strong opinions about a player who hasn't exactly made us much better. If we can all forget about his previous reputation at Hearts and take his performances for Aberdeen in isolation I'm not so sure that he deserves any of this adulation/anger etc. The Alan Maybury of Hearts I'd roll out the red carpet for. The Alan Maybury of Aberdeen is a player you'll get ten a penny of and I'd chuck him out with the other rubbish. In other words, let him go his own way and make up his own mind, he hasn't been good enough in a red shirt to deserve to be idolised nor castigated.

42 When Aberdeen travel to visit top European sides, it is easy to accept humiliating defeat, as our inexperienced players are "on a learning curve". 43 Said "learning curve" (in reality a long-radius arc) is in fact the same corner that Aberdeen have been turning since 1995, as alluded to in point 27. 44 Stewart Milne is bald because he, as the one common denominator of the "turning the corner"/"learning curve" era, has developed a pig-headed lop-sidedness that meant that one side of his cranium had an imbalance of folic acid, leading to an embarrassing condition where he in fact only had half a head of hair which he only reveals in the flesh when he attends the freak-show night at his local Bieldside hostelry.

It is a great pity. Would've probably managed a great turn-out for this. I could swear we turned someone down last year too. Or maybe I'm going mad, it's like I'm stuck in the same day over and over...

I'm Phil Connors. I have an overwhelming sense of deja-vu when I read these forums.
