wow!!! it's like telepathy. You just seem to know what I thought before I thought it..

can anyone remember the last time we had presence at all. I think it's way back with shearer, or possibly bisco. this has been aberdeen's fundamental problem for as long as I can remember.

surely we could plunder the new EU countries like Poland/Slovakia etc. these boys can't be on a fortune! You only need to look at our pumping from sigma to see that a few must be worth a look. Saving us paying CC League 1&2 dross fortunes.

reckon he'll shift 5 or 6, promote 4 from the youth set up and bring in a couple of his own iffy signings. I'd love to say we could sign a dozen, but from previous windows I'll stick with the above. Painful as it is I fear I won't be far wrong.

was not at hamilton and have never abused any of our players ( somewhat counter productive ) Agreed consistency may come (2 yrs and counting ) but he's not likely to grow a foot or put on 3 stone and this is where the issue lies for me. At his size you need to be a terrier in our league, Sone has all the skill in the world but is more poodle. Never wins a header, rarely wins a tackle (or puts in ) and 3 times out of 5 loses balls needlessly. Capable of brilliance but more often a complete passenger. That's why I'm not too bothered if he leaves, anyway who'd he go to? DUNDEE??

i remember us qualifying through good fortune rather than guile and skill. My memory's not all it used to be but I'm fairly sure I failed to notice the immense display that day. Europe I have to give you, but we always raise our game when we are the underdog.remember under mmg we've beat the huns and drew 4-4 with the other ugly sister.

lightweight and half hearted, Paton's twice as productive when played wide. Lets not be held to ransom by a boy who's only really performed in the bayern game.

been stuck on the islands this week, but please tell me someone else seen the killie fan's post on the hotline ( daily record) I'm sure it was Tuesday if not monday. Basically read, fed up with JC, plays our players out of position, benches our best defenders to play others there and if he's there next season I won't be! Wish I'd remembered it on tuesday before I left. Straight run of defeats for killie now. This could have been written by any dons fan a year ago. Funny how absence makes the heart grow fonder. Yes we are pish just now, but try to remember that we were also pish then. lets give the boss a chance and then moan at christmas if he doesn't take it.

Jesus wept, 4 games since he left and we'd consider a return

I liked the bit where if they were all on new 3yr deals they'd be ripping into everything. OR as is more likely they'd do bugger all as their cushy numbers were even easier. If they don't try when due for renewal, why would they try when their pay is guaranteed for 3 yrs? Wasn't sure if he was having a dig at the club for not resigning the shite we currently tolerate. Hopefully just giving those that think they'll get better offers a kick on the ass. Also I'd love to know who these diddy's think will be queuing up to offer them deals.

I reckon he'll step into the job just after Aluko lights up the world cup for nigeria and man city beg us to give them Marshall back

is it the number of shots Dazza mack requires to hit the net

after tonights comments I think a clearout is on the cards, if anyone will take them. Willie seems to harbour high hopes for the academy kids and seems willing to suffer for a year or two of misery to let them establish themselves. Wouldn't mind if it wasn't quite so painful though. MMG still full of confidence that his record stands up and those who appointed him don't believe him to be the problem.

put a donations bin in each stand weekly, job done

TSR, you obviously missed Ifill's virtuoso performance against raith. NO ONE on the bleedin planet could possibly be worse. MMG has to take full credit for this guy sadly

I'm with you Bobby, totally behind JC going, but also thought MM was a hasty decision and we should have spoken to all interested parties. That said he's here now and despite some disasters, the things he is saying are pretty much what the support are thinking.( or me anyway ) It's hard to hound a guy who is pointing out the problems that we've seen for the past 5-10 yrs and no one has challenged so far.

For me Jamie's the king of the bottlers. remember tynecastle semi with UTD, someone throws a pie and he cocks up the rest of the game? Incredible shot stopping at times, but when you need him to do the bread and butter under pressure he more often than not does the unexpected and costs us dearly.

read this yesterday and thought it was pretty much bang on. should be a huge newcastle like club. unfortunately he forgets that a lot of the "good people" of the city are there for the oil and have their own teams from their home towns before they moved north. It'll take more than signing Jim Paterson to convert these people into regular attendees at Pittodrie

like many others I feel they let us all down last night. However, surprised I was not. The players simply for a lack of pride and will to win must shoulder the majority of the blame. MMG though can't deflect all the blame. Who's idea was it to put aluko up front and pump high balls to him for the last 15 mins. ( p.s did you see aluko in the record talking about his hopes for the world cup, after last night he'll have to take up another sport to reach a world cup. His sister has more presence on a pitch ). He also watched Ifill plumb new depths without making further changes and stripped fyvie only to change his mind.( probably felt for the boy going onto that mess, but surely we had nothing to lose by that point as we'd created piss all ) I like MMG and what he has to say, but I find it too hard to believe that a hairdryer wasn't used at half time. If it wasn't it should've been. If it was where was the reaction from the players. I just feel that our lightweight heartless team don't have the desire to chase trophies any more and without the desire to be winners we'll continue to languish just below mediocrity.

gillhaus and shearer for me, not even a decision to make

work before, stay up for game, long drive home afterwards, fancy 4-2 dons, in sth stand or RDS

best I've ever seen Mackie play, didn't think he had it in him. If he keeps up this form he may even become popular

not as terrible as yesterday as suggested but just lacks a presence. we need a grown man in the middle of that team and it's been bloody obvious for a long time. No one fears or respects him. I called for macdonald at start of season, I'll apologise now. PLease give it to big Zander, the only boy with a spine in the team lately.

bisconti, jess, bet and mason. Can't believe someone put dow on the list. I'm still coming to terms with an average joe like heikennen being on that list, and people voting for him. A grafter but no maestro, was he?

I find there to be 2 types of "grown up" in our support. Those who go for the football and the piss artists. The latter I heard calling for McGhee's head, abusing MacDonald and breaking a chair or 2 at starks park. I think the majority are still unsure about McGhee's tenure but understand that it may take some time to change a team fed on high balls for god knows how long. As stated earlier I thought we weren't awful today, just toothless again. Unfortunately the pissed halfwits shout the loudest and get publicity for it. I don't feel MM has done a wonderful job but our youth are getting their chance and if we are ever to make money again we have to let them develop at their own pace.
