  1. Big lose for us having Jack out, think its important that we put Osbourne at right back and not Mcgennis.
  2. Looking forward to this one, another huge support down.
  3. They don't want to be known to the fans.
  4. Good to see that no one loves the players or the board. Been brought up an aberdeen supporter and been going to Pittodrie since I was 7 (may of went to an away game before that but can't mind).
  5. Mayb go to East End, went to Dundee last year and was bored so may give it a miss.
  6. Whats Trump doing at Pittodrie, trying to soften up the locals with thought of him investing in afc.
  7. Derek Young is one of a few players that I think understands what the fans are about.
  8. The board would love a relegation battle, could see us get a full house.
  9. Got red tv but hardly ever use it.

  11. http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_10050000/newsid_10058200/10058239.stm Muse and Eminem, nae great.
  12. TITP line up announced at half 12.
  13. John Hartson in the Sun. CELTA VIGO had a player called Peter Luccin who once spat on me. UEFA threw the book at him, hit him with a three-game European ban and a massive fine. But the midfielder was really lucky... Lucky I didn't realise he'd done it until I was back home watching the incident on Sky Sports News. Had I known at the time I don't know what could have happened. In fact, yes I do. I'd have grabbed him by the throat. There's nothing worse in football than someone gobbing on you. So when I heard this week that Mark McGhee was spat at by his own fans one word crossed my mind. DESPICABLE. McGhee's Aberdeen had just been knocked out of the Scottish Cup by First Division Raith Rovers so their supporters had every right to vent their fury. They were entitled to shout every piece of abuse they wanted. But spitting on him as he made his way up the touchline is nothing short of vile. McGhee hasn't covered himself in any glory since taking charge at Pittodrie - but he doesn't deserve to be covered in phlegm. You have to class that defeat as one of the worst the club has ever suffered. But we're still talking about a respected figure within the Scottish game and someone who was part of their greatest-ever night. He deserves respect. He showed class by accepting what came his way from some scum supporter because I know a lot of people in football who would have snapped. Myself included. But McGhee's guilt at that result probably saved his job at Aberdeen and his entire career. Let's be honest, he'd have lost both had he jumped into the crowd. Same thing had he spat back. McGhee's players deserved no credit for the way they handled themselves on Tuesday night - but he does. The fact he walked up the Pittodrie touchline at all speaks volumes for him. McGhee could quite easily have gone on to the pitch and made his way to the tunnel from there, avoiding any direct abuse. But he took his dumps like a man. Listen, Aberdeen in my eyes are the third biggest club in the country and what happened simply was nowhere near good enough. But that club has had this coming for years. They've had good gaffers and players in the past but let them go. Just look at this January. Why was Lee Miller allowed to leave? Advertisement Okay, his contract was up in May but Miller was one of their better players - if not THE best player the club had on its books. For me it goes down as gross mismanagement that he was allowed to reach a situation where he had six months left on his deal. Look through that squad and there are decent players there. We're not talking top quality because if they were genuine class, let's be honest, they wouldn't be playing for Aberdeen. But they simply haven't been getting the results they should. And it's not a case of the players cheating their boss or the supporters. Just look at the way they played against Celtic last weekend. They caused my old club all sorts of problems and fully deserved to get a point in a 4-4 draw, even though it was in the dying seconds. It begs the question, how they can play like that one week and then be so bad just days later? I wrote last week McGhee was bang out of order to even consider resting his key men for the visit of Tony Mowbray's side but he chose a strong line-up and got his reward. It just shows how much management is a thankless task when your players let you down so badly in the game that arguably matters so much. The club have had some glory nights in years gone by but the fact is it's too many years if you ask me. They consider themselves a big club up there but it's high time the people there started to show it. For their own sakes.
  14. Hearts winning today means bottom six imo.
  15. That's a fair point to be fair, the ball boys/girls are slow as feck.
  16. Think McGhee has tried to be smart with the spitting incident and just said it to get some of the pressure off him.
