What about the likes of TF, edinburghdon, DundeeRed and ShabbaRanks? Did the arcade ever work for you guys? Or has it only been since about two weeks ago that it's not worked? And does it work now?

Or more recently in our memories ... Fernando Ricksen's "straightening out" tackle on Darren Young. The two main differences between these tackles are: (1) Simme regrets the tackle, but Pricksen went on to gloat and try to give reason on his personal website! (2) Darren Young was made of skin and bone, but Durrant was made of curry powder and four day old naan bread, hence why he crumbled so easily As a result of the tackle, Simmie got hounded out of Scotland by the weejia-witchhunt. Durrant, however, went on to collect numerous titles and cups with Rangers and had more playing years in Scottish football than your average pro footballer. There was only one person's career ruined that day in 1988 ... and it wasn't Durrant!

hmmmm Might have to have a more thorough look at this. Was it working okay up until about a week ago?

I'd rather we eradicated the Durrant song from the stands completely! I couldnae gie a flying fuck about Ian Durrant. But I'm sure Neil Simpson doesn't need constant reminder of the incident that eventually drove him out of Scottish football. For Simmie's sake, ditch the song!

Nah. It was the Scottish Cup win against Rangers a couple of weeks after the Gothenburg win. Something like "we've set wur standawds, and that wurz woeful out there. Ahm no accepting that pewfowmance!" .... or to that effect

Might be something to do with the chat feature. I've switched the chat feature off. How is the arcade working now? Any better?

Reckon Levein would be tempted by the Hibs job. It's arguably the next biggest job in Scotland after the Aberdeen job. Plus he'll have shitloads of money to play with .... and I'm nae talkin about Arkwright's handouts

They won it didn't they? They always win the Champions League final. Every year!! Must be shite tae be a jambo. You spend all that money on players and posh managers and all that shite ... and the tinks fae Leith keep beating you in the league Can't wait for Romanov to piss off and take his millions with him ... thus leaving the yams with a spiralling debt that cannot be controlled by their measly gate revenue. Let's face it, when Romanov fucks off with his millions, the Gorgie crowds are gonna go back down to 9000 average.

'kin right!!!! I've been stuck at work today and havenae been able to get a chance to check the scores. Then the crazy Chinese dude who lives and breathes Liverpool FC ran across to me ... "Yo! Riverpoow!!! Abuwdeer beats Copenhagen fooah rill". Took a minute to figure out what he was sayin ... that then a HUGE grin appeared on my face as I threw my arms up in the air. FUCKIN DANCER!!!!!!!!!!

I beg to differ. Alfrom heard a fan shout out "Oi, Jess! Yer nithin but a spasticated jellyfish!"

That was half a decade before the 2-2 huns match ... as I said! I speak of the tightening of the pursestrings following the collapse of the SPL TV deal (infact pretty much every TV deal) which lead to us running on pennies. Ebbe was forced to let go of so so many decent players that had taken us into Europe on merit. If the sort of budget that JC has had to play with was available to Ebbe in his final season with us, I've no doubt he would've done AT LEAST as good a job as JC I really beg to differ. It took a long long time for Ebbe to hault the alarming fall from grace that was instigated by Messrs Aitken and Miller. Four years of ripping the very heart out of Aberdeen FC both financially, pride, heart, and any form of decency. It took two years for Ebbe to hault this freefall, and another year to bring us back up to anything like respectable. Remember, in his final season we gained access to Europe because of our league position! It's not Ebbe's fault that the board didn't do anything to keep ahold of the very same players who got Ebbe's side into Europe. His hands were very much tied.

Aye it doesnae exist. That's cos the Dons havenae had anybody who can "chip 'eh keeper" since ... since .... since ............................. Jamie Buchan chipped Andy Goram??!!! Was that seriously the last time we successfully chipped the keeper?

yeah its just a testing chatroom at the moment. I don't know if i like it for the single reason that u cannae see who else is chatting

if you have a spare moment, could you have a look at the new chat button i've just installed on the site. Have a shot and let me know what you think

Aye. I was workin. My workmate who used to run the Livi rivals website texted me on the half hour mark to say "FOUR ZERO!!!". I thought it was awesome that Zerouali had finally found his scoring boots again and had knocked four goals past the Livitories. But oh how I was wrong!!! Didn't Derek Whyte lamp a Dons fan outside Pittodrie?

I'll have a shot at expanding the size of it when I get home today. At work, I don't have access to any of the php files so can't alter anything

Firstly, we PLAYED Livi five times in one season. But we never lost to them five times. We lost to them three times in nine meetings during Skovdahl's tenure: Scottish League Cup Aberdeen 1-0 Livingston 17-08-1999 Scottish FA Cup Livingston 0-0 Aberdeen 17-02-2001 Scottish FA Cup Aberdeen 0-1 Livingston 06-03-2001 Scottish League Cup Aberdeen 1-6 Livingston 09-10-2001 Scottish Premier Aberdeen 0-3 Livingston 02-01-2002 Scottish FA Cup Aberdeen 2-0 Livingston 26-01-2002 Scottish Premier Livingston 0-0 Aberdeen 23-03-2002 Scottish Premier Aberdeen 3-0 Livingston 20-04-2002 Scottish Premier Livingston 1-2 Aberdeen 22-09-2002 Admittedly we faired horrendously against Celtic during his time, with 22-12-01 being an exception. But we managed good results against every other club. Our 2-2 draw with the huns was the biggest bounce Pittodrie had seen for half a decade! And the Dodds-Winters transfer was well before Ebbe time. This was the work of Alex Miller, some ten months before Skovdahl got the Pittodrie job. I actually thought Winters was a quality acquisition for us. Just a shame Dodds had to go the other way, because a Dodds/Winters striking partnership would've been worth paying to see!

Loved that man! He was legendary (there's another debate). I had a number of chats with him at various evenings around the country, and he's an absolute gentleman with a brilliant sense of humour. I don't like the idea that it was his team that took seven games to score and nine games to win. I put that down to taking nine games to hault the freefall that Alex Miller started at Aberdeen. I think with the budget that JC has had to play with, Skovdahl could've done something really spectacular with the Dons. At least he played players in their most effective positions! When he bought a central midfielder, he played in in central midfield! He didn't shove them out on the wing or shove them in defence. I don't care what others say. Ebbe has a special place in my memories of Aberdeen Football Club.

JC's tactics are just plain stupid! He cannot expect fancy Dutch tactics to work in the unskilled SPL where every player lives eats and breathes 4-4-2 from the age of four. Mind the game a couple of years ago at Ibrox. We were 1-0 down, and had gone into half time on the ascendency. Five minutes into the second half, and clearly nae happy with us gradually working our way back into the match, JC goes and changes us from 4-4-2 to one of his fabulous makebelieve formations. The huns spot this change happening and hit us with three goals in the space of about ten minutes. Does JC not see that these strange formations and playing players in unfamiliar positions are doing us more damage than good? Surely as Director Of Football, Willie Miller should be pointing this out to JC and saying "stick to what works, Jimmy!".

Why would ye dress up as a clown when it's Christmas? A bit like dressin up as a fairy for halloween!

Aye, I missed out the crucial word "second". Duly added now to make sense

Hmmmm. Dunno. Don't really think there's much difference between the quick reply and the normal posting page these day, tbh! Basically you can do almost everything on the QuickReply that you can do on the full-on post page.

One thing that just awes me about this game every time i see it is just the attacking nature of the Dons. Every move is on the attack. In the leadup to McGhee's second goal, I counted EIGHT Aberdeen players all standing on the verge of offside! None of this patient buildup shit that we see today. Fergie's Dons never ever gave the opposition a moment to catch their breath.

Ye see the layoff for McDougall's goal?!! Wonderful! There's better Jess goals here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klRhDMsTNG4&NR=1
