So sorry to piss on your parade MA but, our final league standing says more about the state of Scottish football than JC's wizardry as a manager. 5 points from our final 5 games!!!! A lot of our points have come despite his tactics rather than because of them. Unentertaining football has become our trademark. Gate receipts would tend to confirm this. Seeing Russell Anderson, just as a single example, shrug towards the bench, clearly unsure of what was going on, as a substitution was made, shows even the players didn't fully understand what he was trying to do. He is good at what he does best - taking a team who are struggling a bit (and we were) and stabilising the situation. He didn't seem to have the ability to take us that step further, even to a domestic cup final/win.

He claims nothing was mutual ergo he was sacked!

Totally cringeworthy and, from JC's point of view easily spun round to be seen as a mark of support for him. Therefore, apart from failing as a protest it has had the entirely opposite result from the one it set out to get. Had that been another teams supporters we would have been pissing ourselves right now, and rightly so. That protest was probably more embarrasing than the exit to Dunfermline. Carlsberg don't do protests, but if they did..................that certainly wouldn't have been one of them

I know it's difficult to think of "our" team coming out all guns blazing, but it's not difficult to think of a protest before the game not affecting the players coming on to the pitch. And if the protest simply involves people walking from the pub to the main stand, you are right, doesn't need a lot of organisation, but equally not much of a protest I suspect JC is quaking in his hush puppies!!! By the way, I am a Jimmy must go man, I just think your planned "protest" is pathetic. EDIT : can't believe I typed slush, and that was before too much drink !!!!!

I remember a game at Pittodrie, when Russell was still with us, JC making a substitution and Russell gesturing to the bench that he didn't have a baldy what was going on. Same old same old

Decent yes, I've said before he has done well for us. But thats it, he is doing no more now and, if anything, we are in danger of going backwards now. He is certainly not taking us on that wee bit more and the cup defeats are woeful and embarrassing.

Very little to be positive about. By the sound of it we stole a point from Motherwell - not that I'm bothered about that, a point is a point. Just see us getting found out by others, starting with ICT who have plenty to be hungry about. Sorry to bring it back to JC again but, in his interview just now, he still clearly thinks the fans backlash is down to three games out of over two hundred. Reckons he is definately doing "somethng right". Arrogant bastard. Win, lose or draw today was a definite chance to give a positive reaction to the fans despair, play well and show passion. I only listened to the game but it doesn't sound like this was remotely the case. As said already above, Langfield and Bebo the saviours.

Aye your right, a fair uphill wander. Away to do some blood letting for you

Christ min, I admitted I got it wrong and apologised, what more do you want, blood The route planner, when you put Aberdeen City Centre, defaulted to the train station.

Here we go again

Didn't think I was too far off the mark when I typed that. I've just checked on a route planner. Train station to Pittodrie 1.71 miles, train station to Loirston 2.95 miles Apologies for misinformation.

There used to be a station at Cove but there is now houses built where it used to be.

In terms of distance, Loiston Loch not a huge difference from Pittodrie from city centre, if Union Street used as starting point.

Oooooh errr matron

Think fans have the right to show their feelings, but before the game?!?!?!

Very sad. Friend thought her husband was on the flight. Got it confirmed he wasn't. Relief for her. Unfortunately 16 other families not so lucky.

Mate at work used stayed next door to Clark at that time. He had made a comment to Chris along the lines "tut tut Chris, bad tackle" aid Chris just shrugged and had a very proud looking grin on his face. Nice one Chris

How about David Ginolla few years back, had fallen out with manager at Spurs, all but agreed short term loan spell at Aberdeen, but wife wouldn't move north.

Bit negative swaddon, this is surely something we should be rightly proud of Lets all laugh at Hibs

Regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season I think he should go. That maybe sounds crazy but I just think he has done all he can at Pittodrie. Having said that I want Aberdeen to finish as strongly as they can and as high as they can. Regardless, I suspect this time next year we will be having similar conversations, East Fife or East Stirling - or similar - having humiliated us in the cup!!!

As I said in another thread, anyone who wants Aberdeen to fail on the pitch in some hope of sealing Calderwoods fate is simply not a true Aberdeen supporter. Calderwood, regardless of results in the coming weeks, has sealed his own fate. It's just a pity those in power to do something about it don't have the guts (or the money?). I will support Aberdeen, fully, till the day I die. I will not support Calderwood another day.

Absolute rubbish. Firstly, it's not just three bad results, there are other areas we have totally failed, the first being playing an entertaining brand of football. Second, the fact two of them were penalty shoot outs makes it even more embarrassing. The fact we couldn't dispose of one lower league side in 120 minutes and the other in 210 minutes adds to the pain. These things do happen in the cup but, three seasons in a row............c'mon!!!!

I went to buy EE tonight, but over zealous bloody shop asistants had packaged them up for return. Wouldn't let me take one out of the pile as they had counted them!!!!

One possibility is that, now it has sunk through Calderwoods arrogant skull-if indeed it has-the strength of feeling against him, and some of the players may realise how badly they have let the fans down, we may see a bit of a transformation till the end of the season?? Ultimately I feel this will only paper over some extremely large cracks. Lets hope [glow=red,2,300]our[/glow] club isn't too much of an embarrassment before Willie decides enough is enough.

Yeah, I saw the game, and him. Like you it really did bring home how good a player he was and still is. He totally commanded the midfield. God how much could we do with him back at Pittodrie now - mind you, being the excellent midfielder he is, JC would probably play him in goals
