Aye, fuckin right CarolineB. I mean, we played Watershei in the ECWC semi. Only three days earlier we were facing Celtic in the Scottish Cup. Postponing domestic fixtures to aid a bigger league is just a mark of a soft bunch of panzies. Get on with it. I mean, imagine if these guys actually had to work a 40-hour week??? They'd never last past the first coffee break on Monday! Panzies!!!

Haha. You mean like the snow fae six years ago???

Mind you, the same theory applies to Kevin McNaughton. That boy had talent ... and plenty of it. But the game often sailed past him at Aberdeen. Now that he's down in Cardiff and playing a much slower game, he's being given the time and the space to put his talents to good use. And it's showing, because he's pretty much guaranteed a start for Cardiff these days.

Shit. Looks like every third Aberdeen fan got mugged!!! Fuckin crappy Spaniards. My mate got his jeans-pocket cut off with a knife and his wallet was gone when he went to Barca a few years ago. And my ex got her wallet stolen from her "fanny pack" when we were in Barca about seven years ago. I say "fanny pack" because she was American and thats what they called it ... fuckin gave me hysterics every time she spoke of it.

Is it me, or does the loon at the end wi all the blood on his face look like Owen Coyle?

Un....fuckin...believabubble!! Good to see the club giving the fans the benefit of the doubt for a change. Beforehand it would be a case of "We don't know the facts, we don't even know if it involved Aberdeen fans ... but we'll be handing out lifetime bans anyhow!"

Sounds like Miller missed a sitter. When I say missed ... he actually MISSED the ball!!!

Thanks for the link, Drew. I'll see about grabbing a few of these and doctoring them for this site.

Instead of utilising the normal Scottish managerial merrygoround ... how about the English one? Surely someone like Venables or ... dare I say ... Redknapp might fit the bill. Venables would make us the media-darlings of the world!

Why?

If JC were to be offered the Derby job ... or even the Scotland job ... and he left ... Who would be your ideal choice of replacement (serious ideas ... ie nae Mourinho!)

JC already does this. He chucks 22 names into a hat and picks them out randomly. Thats how he picks his team for each week. It just so happens that, whether he picks number 1, 17, 22 or a bit of fluff out first ... the first name out of the hat is ALWAYS Chris Clark.

Whats the point in advertising to home fans in the hope that a few thousand may come along to watch Atletico play the weakest side in the group? Why do that, when Atletico can advertise this to the 2000+ surplus opposition fans who are GUARANTEED to be in Madrid for the match, and are all without a ticket. Seems common sense from a money-making point of view, tbh!

New Zealand. Does that make a single bit of difference when a number of regulars on DT used to go to the youth matches and brag about his ability? I haven't seen him with my own eyes, but the wonder that is the internet allows people on the other side of the world to see, hear and read about things that happen in and around Aberdeen.

Just listened to JC's post-match summary. He's basically saying the team's performance against Celtic has made his selection choices for the Madrid game "very easy" as he is now looking at chucking a stack of first-choice players onto the bench and into the stand. Fuckin hope so! Give the likes of Aluko, Maguire and JDV a start against a team who will, without a doubt, be our best opposition this season. They'll love it, facing quality players and hopefully learning a thing or two from playing against them. Half our first-team doesn't deserve to play in Spain. I just hope JC sticks by his words. With luck, we won't see players like Clark getting a look-in to this game. Infact, just gie him a "Look In" magazine and chuck him in the stands. That'd be best for all concerned.

We drastically need to STOP wasting our time and money with these has-beens such as McNamanamanamanamanamana, Brewster, Crawford, etc. We must start ploughing money into our youth system. Look at the Hibs youth system. It has basically brought them out of the red and they are now one of the few Scottish sides running in the black! And very much in the black too! Why? because they are nurturing their own talent, and then selling them for a fortune. When was the last player to come through our ranks with the smallest bit of talent? Bagshaw! And what did we do with him? Released him!

By jove I think I've fixed it

testing

I think it's sorted now. Won't know until the next multi-quoted reply

1. Jagerdeen 2. Busy Bilbo Baggins 3. Glasgow Sheep - glasvegas 4. B. Biscuit Esq. 5. Monkey. 6. Drew Peacock 7. Reekie - huntin down the game on ESPN. But will give up cos it'll be like 5am where I am.

Nobody rates Mackie! But he still gets offered new contracts!!!!

I suppose Id better introduce masel ... just incase naebiddy kens who I am. I'm Reekie. I'm one of the gaffers here. Been doin this forum runnin malarky since the days of The Granite Sheep (that's eight years ago now!). I was born in Aberdeen, had my first few years in Hopeman. Then in Elgin. Then Bucksburn. Then my family moved to Stoney when I was 5. Lived there til I was old enough to escape, and buggered aff to HIVLand (Edinburgh) for eight years. Then moved across tae New Zealand where I am now with my wife and sprog. Favourite red of all time? Probably Neil Simpson. Favourite red I can remember wi my own eyes? Probably Eion Jess. Favourite current red? Ooh, spoilt for choice. Seriously, I cannae pick a standout from the lot of them!!

I'll see fit I can do, min. Cannae promise anything.

Big Dunc spent most of his time trying to wake "Pele" Paterson from his drunken slumber. I think it might be a good idea to offload Lovell. Perhaps as an exchange. I'm sure Superkev would look after him in Cardiff. But somethings got to be done to inject some life into our strikeforce. There's clearly fuckall inspiration coming from the midfield. So we need strikers who are gonna create something. We need strikers who are gonna take pot-shots from outside AND inside the box. Basically we need a fit-again Jamie Smith.

Apparently Dan Smith's hidden talent is he can play football. But nobody has ever been able to verify this rumour.
