Just finished watching the 2-0 game highlights again, only this time full volume. I still cannae get over how loud Pittodrie was when Seve and Lovell's goals went in. Unbelievable. I've never heard an SPL ground sound like that before! If only we could fill Pittodrie more often, it definitely help our cause. The players must've got such a huge lift knowing they had 17000 fans right behind them for the whole match (and before anyone says "but it was a sell-out", I'm taking into consideration that one or two of the 20,000 fans at the game were huns.

Pretty cool site. Interesting to see how the Aberdeen strip has changed over the years. Still reckon the 86/87 kit was the nicest kit ... it was the last decent one before company logos were sprawled over the front of the shirts. But EEWWWWWWWWW, we played in blue originally!!!!!!

Where's the "Aberdeen" option? I see Fulham have apparently thrown their weight into the Anderson equation as they've lost out on their bid to try to sign Hyypia from Liverpool. I don't want Anderson to leave, but if he does leave then I want a bidding war to take place between some Premiership big guns so that we get AS MUCH as possible for him ... none of this "three quid and a broken player of your choosing" that the Old Firm deem acceptable.

I'm not sure that he is a defender/midfielder. This Ilford-based article seems to think otherwise: http://www.ilfordrecorder.co.uk/content/r...

Quite worrying that some clubs see Aberdeen as a bargain basement. Perhaps it is for the best that this "unidentified" agent came forward when he did, as now I'd like to think Stewart Milne will not take the first offer that comes along ... unless it's 50million for the whole squad!

Aye. He was trying to spell Rob, and ended up spelling RFC

And is Kurrant nae a striker? Cannae mind Byrne challenging Ronaldo for that much coveted "best striker" award!

Must admit to absolutely definitely being the first ever person to compare Ricky Foster with Rino Gattuso, but ... It took a lot of kicking and screaming from Gattuso to accept that he wasn't an attacking midfielder, and that he'd be best sitting in a defensive role. Dick Advocaat wasn't his favourite person in the world after this move. But hey, he's gone on to realise that he IS a better player when playing in defence. And just yesterday he picked up a Champions League winners medal for his efforts! Who's to say Foster's simply been playing in the wrong position all this time, and that he is at his most effective at Left Back?!!!

If this De Visscher chappy is in the wing mould of Stephen Glass circa 1997-98, I'll be a very happy dandy! We've not had a left sided winger since Glass. Infact, I don't think we've had a decent winger on either side since Glass (Jamie Smith aside)

I reckon Preece could've had a hugely impressive 'tache. These days, though, I think only Lee Miller would have one ... and even then it would be bum-fluff ... and only when he's wearing his kappa kollection.

It's not just this lineup that we can be pretty happy with, it's the fact that the bench will probably regularly look like this: Soutar; Touzani; Diamond; Clark; Miller; Maguire That's a bench full of players that the vast majority of SPL teams would kill to have in their first-choice team!!!!

Well, there's no doubt about that! I was gutted when McNaughton moved to Cardiff. But I smile contently when I hear that he's proving to be a quality player for them. It makes other clubs sit up and realise that Scottish players CAN cut it in England. And now we're getting teams like Manure coming in and sniffing around players like Gordon who are valued at 8million. Only thing that irks me is that we seem to be happy with the 1million value that Anderson is being advertised at. I'd take no less than DOUBLE that, and even then I'd have to admit that the club that wins his signature is getting him at a bargain price.

Wouldn't go for this deal. We get to borrow one of their kids and nurse him back to full fitness and then give him back at the end of the season, whilst they walk with our second-best defender for pennies! I am not going to stand in the way of our players moving on to get better deals at bigger clubs ... just so long as it's not the Old Firm. Hart would be wasted there. Strachan would play him in CIS Cup matches, and that's all!

Basically, we're not allowed to show ANY footage of ANY Aberdeen player or ANY part of Pittodrie. The stadium and the players are all property of the club, and if we have footage of any part of a game on here, the club comes knocking on our doors telling us to take it off. I don't care about any other footage. But footage of the Dons, whether it be TV footage or from your own cellphone is a breach of AFC's copyright. Sorry! I dinnae want the club to have to come down hard on a forum that's dedicated to the Dons. There wasn't any issue regarding this before RedTV came about. But now any video footage is seen as a conflict of interest with RedTV

Aye. But hopefully this new guy can play as part of a team. Hicham was an amazing talent, but he couldn't comprehend the term "involve your teammates". When he got the ball, it was a one-man mission of his to find the net. The SPL's thickest defenders realised this pretty quickly and snuffed him out of the game. Hopefully this Jeff de Visscher guy is more of a team player than Zero was.

I cannae believe I'm reading this about Foster!! Last time I was at Pittodrie, Foster was a joke. He was second division material at best!!! What's happened? Has he suddenly become a decent player? Cannae be the quality of players around him making him look good, cos he's still sitting around the same players that were on the field when he was shite. Is he really that good now? Did it just take a wee bit longer than normal for him to mature?

Hate to tell you mate, but we've had a Black&Gold away strip twice in the past seven years! I quite like it, being honest. I've never really been a big fan of the all white strips. Too many chances for blue to be incorporated, hehe.

Wannabe? The only wannabe category he fits into is "not being ridiculed for the rest of his life by the entire Tartan Army" for his penalty miss for England in (correct me if I'm wrong) Euro 96

Merkland Road it is, then

I reckon this is probably our biggest match since travelling to Berlin five years ago! And certainly the biggest match Pittodrie has seen since ... I can't think of the last home match that had this much importance ... probably the final game of the season two years ago against Hearts where Hearts didn't bother to turn up as they knew that us beating them by a healthy score would be the only way that Hibs wouldn't get into Europe. But events at Easter Road between Hibs and Rangers were completely different cos Scott McDonald had just scored a double against Celtic to effectively hand the championship to Rangers. All Rangers needed was a win. All Hibs needed was to not lose by any more goals. As such both teams stopped playing in the final 20 minutes as the status quo suited both teams.

Fuckin hope not!! I see he's bought the old Royal Bank of Scotland building in Edinburgh and plans to open a branch of the Ukios Bank. How the hell does he think he's gonna run a profit on that bank? The only people who'll bank there will be Hearts fans ... and they're all minkers.

That's what we need. We need a "minker" striker. We've got too many ponces. Minker strikers that spring to mind are Stevie Naesmith in his current form ... and Tam McManus in his form of about three years ago. McManus was immense for the Hibees about 3 or 4 years ago. Biggest thing I hated about him was the fact that he was a right jakey tink. Moaned his arse off about every single little thing that didn't go his way. These days, we breed too many panzy strikers. We drastically need to find a right mink from the gutter and bring him up to be a striker. Last decent minker we had was Deano. And he was AWESEOME! Why? Cos he stuck his elbows and studs in everywhere, moaned his arse off about everything, and really really got on the wick of the opposition players and fans.

To quote those aweful Japanese wrestling duo Kaentai ... INDEEEEEEEEEED! What is this investment you speak of, Red Dragon.

Quite possibly a wind-up ahead of the Blue Meanies match. However, it wouldn't be the first time Southgate has talked about Aberdeen in the past few months. He likens Middlesbrough to Aberdeen, a sleeping giant who just need the right man to steer the players in the right direction. It's clear from his previous comments about the Dons that he has watched us a few times. I wouldn't be surprised if he's taken quite a liking to Oor Russell. Although £1million is drastically below what I'd take for our most consistent and most accomplished defender. I'd be expecting at least double that value before even contemplating selling Anderson. Fuck it, we should do a Hibs, and tout Anderson for £6million, then we might have someone sniffing around with a bid of around £4million. That'd be nice :-)

Hart is streets ahead of Wilson, and would be cheaper too! Still, I'd rather we kept our talented players rather than selling them off. Although every player has his price and 450k may be too much of a temptation, especially with Wiggy looking to cut the debt in any way he can.
