I've seen too many players promise to sign and then leave at the 11th hour of contract talks (Stephen Wright, spit). Likewise, I've seen too many players say "The deal to bring me to Aberdeen is dead in the water. My agent hasn't heard anything and that's that", only for said player to sign a few days later. I know I started this thread, but I'm just gonna take heed when Severin comes public with his contract decision. If he stays, good on him. If he goes, we'll survive ... eventually!

Sure? I remember a St Johnstone away match being postponed due to fog. Really sucked cos me and a mate from Edinburgh caught the bus up to Perth, grabbed a taxi from the bus station to McDermaid Park, and it got announced as called off as the taxi pulled up at the stadium! Bag of shite!! But that would've been about seven or eight years ago.

I'll take this fight for 3rd any day over the "should've been relegated, but for the league expanding" fiasco that was the 1999/2000 season. Don't think that was the season before, tbh. But I do remember that season. It was the end of the season before Hearts became a Lithiuanian team. Hearts couldn't get into Europe. Hibs could if they drew with Rangers on the final day at Fester Road. Even if they lost, it would take Aberdeen to win against Hearts by 6 or more goals to overtake Hibs. Rangers and Hibs were drawing and really couldn't be bothered playing, as the result suited both of them. Aberdeen, meanwhile, were trying their best to beat a Hearts team who were almost willfully passing the ball to Aberdeen players. But we just couldnae score enough goals. Then it was all over when Scott McDonald scored two at Motherwell against Celtic to hand the title to Rangers. What a weird weird final day of the season that was.

Was that by Queen? Thought it was a solo effort from Brian May a couple of years after Freddie died. Anyhow ... Queens Of The Stoneage - Song For the Deaf

Always is being an Aberdeen fan with a Euro run-in. We seem to be seeing more and more last-game-of-the-season spectaculars, where it comes down to the result with the Dons as to who gets into Europe, or who wins the title, or such. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sure the last three seasons have seen Dons matches decide title-winners or Euro clinchers.

Reckon we've got a good chance in the first game vs Celtic at the Tattiebowl. But we NEVER take the same level of performance to consecutive Old Firm matches. NEVER! Hence why I said the 2nd Celtic game would be a draw ... at best

[quote author= link=topic=7453.msg118916#msg118916 date=1234438870] You are kidding, right? To be fair, first quote was about Miller. Second quote was about Mackie.

9 wins from 14? Pah, pessimistic approach. Let's get 14 wins out of 14. Anything less, and the players aren't fit to wear the red jersey of Aberdeen. Seriously, though. I reckon we can do it ... by the following means: Hearts (a) - D United (h) - W Killie (h) - W St Mirren (a) - L Hamilton (h) - W Hibs (a) - D Motherwell (a) - W ICT (h) - W Celtic (a) - W Top 6 Games: Celtic (a) - D Hearts, (h) - W Rangers (a) - D United (a) - L whoever (h) - W (we always win our last game of the season, regardless of who it's against)

£20,000? That's fuckall! It's not exactly as if Motherwell haven't had very long to get used to the weather conditions that happen at Fir Park. The state of their pitch is not only putting matches in jeopardy, it is threatening injury to Mothwell's and any visiting team's players when they deem the surface "playable". When Inverness CT groundshared at Pittodrie, the Dons pumped most of that groundshare money into a huge redevelopment of the pitch and undersoil heating/drainage. Aberdeen's probably one of the worst cities in the SPL for snow and frost and that sorta shite. Yet when was the last time a match at Pittodrie was postponed due to the state of the pitch? Sure, Pittodrie's pitch isn't the smoothest playing surface in the country. But at least we put a sizeable amount of cash towards maintaining it and making sure that it is ready for its purpose: hosting professional football matches on a Saturday afternoon. Motherwell's pitch has been a disgrace for years. £20,000 is fuckall!

Being perfectly honest, he's not a bad squad player. Certainly for the pennies we're paying him, we'd struggle to get any better players. He is Dons daft, he's got a knack of scoring in very very crucial games, and he gets paid as much as a Green Final paperboy. We've had a lot more expensive players on Aberdeens books recently who've done a lot less than Oor Daz

Is that a signature on the top? Looks more like a bit of last night's mince

Perfect opportunity to flog him to Coventry for 600k

600k for a "59 goals in 279 matches" striker? JC's dreaming. Mind you, if that's the way to sell your players for the highest price, then go for it! Hey, it worked for Hibs and Hearts in the past couple of seasons. Why not us? Although I reckon he should put a price of 1.6million on Mackie's head. Maybe that'll encourage the financial idiots like Man City to come sniffing, hehe

Dinnae reckon it'll work. As has been said before, they'll be there for a month or two. But a cold wet Wednesday vs Hamilton? Won't be too long til they're back in the shelter of the RDU

I'll say! It's only fair they get the lion's share of the prize money. They are, afterall, the winners & runners up. I'd like to see the breakdown for the season that Hearts finished 2nd. I'm pretty sure it'd be of the same ratio.

Nah. Sounds like something on your router. Is the router firewall on or off? What is the lease time on your DHCP server (another option within your router). If you can, try changing the lease time to "never"

Don't think anybody here has pressed the panic button ... not in this thread, anyway! But the point about us "just turning up" is valid. That's why we've struggled all season against Hamilton, and is why we lost to Inverness and, more recently, Falkirk. The successful sides don't "just turn up". They take every single game seriously. Which is why you'll rarely see Celtic or Rangers lose more than 5 or 6 games in an entire season. They're focussed on beating all the teams below them. The big games tend to take care of themselves, but if you don't take care of the shite that's below you then you're always going to struggle to make a serious impact at the top end of the league. It's not something that Jimmy has caused. It's been evident at Aberdeen for over a decade and a half now ... see the likes of Skonta Riga, Stenhousemuir, Bohemians and the cup exit to QotS last season. I don't know what it is. But there's something that's existed at Aberdeen for fifteen years or so that has us believe that we are such a big club, we only need to turn up to the smaller grounds and we're guaranteed a win.
