I read about the mask but hadn't seen any pics. I was imagining something like this:

Dammit, I did choose the wrong one. There's one where he slams the ball high into the net from within the 18-yard box at Ibrox which I've been hunting for. Absolutely stunning goal!

Okay then. For one team, you get to pick anyone from the 83-84 season squad. For the other team, anyone from the 89/90 squad.

I'm sure I've chosen the right goals! One is at Pittodrie whilst the other is at Ibrox. Take a look at the fans celebrating behind the goal in the first one. Then take a look at the motionless fans behind the goal in the second.

A few drinks now and then is not a problem, imho. When you're as naturally talented as Paul Gascoigne or George Best, by all means have a few if you want. Chances are, you're so good at football that a drinking habit is just going to lower your ability to "marginally-better than the others". But when you're Darren Mackie (yes I know he's an easy scapegoat), then drinking excessively and smoking a lung in the process is not exactly the best idea you've had when it is clear that playing football to a capable and professional level already takes a lot of hard work when you're sober ... nevermind when you've got to counteract all the boozing with even more hard work!

I was having a good look through some of the highlights of the Aberdeen games from around the 1990 season and am still amazed to this day how we didn't win the league with that team. So here's a question for you all ... Do you reckon the 1990 Aberdeen team could've beaten the 1984 Aberdeen team

Yeah long (vodka) overdue. But the proof will be seeing McGhee follow up on his threats. It was one thing from Fergie to ban the players from drinking the night before matches. It was another thing for him to waltz into the pubs and haul the players out by their ears. If McGhee can follow up on his threats with real action, he'll get my vote of confidence. Boozy pissups have been a part of the Dons players' culture for far too many seasons now. Binge drinking and regular heavy nights on the sauce should not be a part of a professional sportsman's vocabulary. By all means, enjoy a few now and then. But not every weekend, guys!

Hmmmmm. I'm undecided about Ross. We've had worse players turn up on our doors asking to train with us. I'm not that enthusiastic about him signing for us, but then I'm actually not too miffed either. Welcome aboard, Ross. Believe me, the fact that you're an ex-hun will not have an impact on your time here ... so long as you put in maximum effort for us.

Two of the best goals I've ever seen for the Dons. Why? Not just because they were clinical, unstoppable finishes ... but also because Jess calculated every single inch of the ball's trajectory before unleashing his strike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByY0erq-pbU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjN1i8_eBKo

Corona - The Rhythm Of The Night

I take it the club said: "sorry Charlie. Yer nae getting in today. We cannae be arsed with yer shite. And you keep leaving pie crumbs all over the place". So Fat Ex-Postie has gone back to the office in a grump and said: "What am I gonna do for today's pay? Ross! Bring me your best fabricated load of shite you can think of ... nah that's shite, you can hae that one. Ah, David Preece you say? When's this one from? 2005? Ah fuckit, it'll do for my piece!" Absolutely nowhere in the whole article does McGhee state that being the Aberdeen manager is the toughest job he's ever had. EE in Daily Record-style non-shocker!

Diamond's back in December too, so that'll be the fifth new signing that we were promised two years ago.

The Derek Young one was priceless

Is this the same mythical bust-up involving Sone Aluko, Mark McGhee, a toaster, Stewart Milne's old wig and Gabriel Batistuta's hamster?

Nick Cave & the Bad Seed - Opium Tea

Gates are still shared in the cup competitions ... hence why the likes of Huntly and Forres act like they've won the lotto when they draw Rangers or Celtic away in the cups. But the home team gets all the gate revenue for league matches. This has pissed me off for a long long time now, as the travelling Red Army are one of the biggest travelling supports in the country. Whilst Pittodrie remains half-empty for many games, our travelling support keeps the other SPL teams in business!

Queen (ft David Bowie) ... or is it David Bowie ft Freddie Mercury? - Under Pressure

I reckon we should say publically "we're going to offer Ross the best contract he has ever had in his life". That's a sure-fire way to get Plymouth Argyle interested in signing him. And in true comedic fashion, we can swing our fists and say "darn it" when Plymouth swoop to sign him from under our noses. Sshhhhh. Don't tell Luggy that we don't care about Ross!

Soundgarden - Come Together

... and sure as huns are huns, Martin Bain goes and drops his tuppenceworth into the equation in today's paper.

If I remember rightly, there was a huge demonstration outside Parkhead back in 1994 where the club was hours away from going bankrupt. Of course, most Celtic fans won't know that becuase, despite being "life-long fans" and singing the line "if ye know yer history" every week, most of them wouldn't even know that there were five managers between Jock Stein and Tommy Burns. To most, Jock lead the Lisbon Lions ... and then everything magically transformed into the Tommy Burns years. I reckon we should start singing "where were you when you were shite?" at the gloryhunting plastic paddy wankers. But McGhee makes an interesting point. The last time I heard anything from Ibrox on playing in another league was when John McClelland was parading this idea around back in 2001 ... which famously lead to Keith Wyness brilliantly referring to the Old Firm as "two old ladies on Sauchiehall Street lifting their skirts for every league that walks by". Peter Lawell seems to make reference to this mythical league every second week. But I'm hearing nothing from Ibrox!

Future Sound Of London - Journey To The Centre

He wasn't flash in any way. But he was consistent, I'll give him that much. Dunno if I really want him back though. And it's not the "he's turned us down several times already" problem, cos Lee Miller turned us down three times prior to signing for us. Stevie Crawford counted four times before signing us!!! I just think there's youngsters who'd relish the chance to show what they can do in that position who would be far more committed to the cause than Maybury would be, and for a fraction of the wage.

What a way to say it from the heart ...
