Tyrant

I think you'll find that I (and I'm sure I'm not the only one!) am far from happy with ever having to go to Hampden. I know it seems like a "1st world problem" having to go to Hampden to see your team at the business end of competitions but as a location and as a stadium it's fucking dreadful as most of us will acknowledge. Fans will have their own POV towards Kingsford. It'll be handier for some. Some fans completely accept that we "need" to move and have towed the party line. Redeveloping Pittodrie would've been most (sane) peoples' preferred option but we have to trust those who tell us it's not possible. I'd never expect the fans to unite over such a move just because the club ask us to.

If you're wanting a role at DT HQ all you need to do is ask.

I don't agree that he's a dud. In this instance the dud is our manager. Stewart is clearly a decent footballer (which is more than you can say for much of our squad) and yet he's continually ineffectual for us when he was almost prolific for a Killie team who most people would say is poorer than our team. The difference is the manager. He could easily do well at Ibrox and would almost certainly bite us on the arse sooner or later. I'm nae saying he should get a new deal with us unless we can play to his strengths.

If only the spastics in this country would stop voting Tory.

Worse than the Aberdonian oil wankers?! I can scarcely believe it. Ne'er a bigger bunch of fucking bell-ends have I seen. And that includes the Dutch pricks in Groeningen trying to start on borderline pensioner Dons fans.

Nicola Sturgeon is the leader the UK wishes it had. She's absolutely brilliant. I'd love to see her debate with May on any topic.

Ability-wise - yes. Injury-wise - no.

It was a narrow (1-0) defeat as far as I remember. The booing of the Snake was the highlight for me.

Don't think we did like. Although I was pleasantly surprised at how much better we were that night than I thought we'd be.

We are all MBT.

Whilst they're undoubtedly improving and going in the right direction I think it's premature to declare them genuine contenders. They had the easiest world cup group and draw in history and they still fucked it. Lost both their games against the only world class opponents that they played. 10 goals in the last 2 games is good but a team like England will be judged on their performances against elites like Germany, France, Spain and Brazil in competitive tournaments. The jury's out for me. Infinitely better than Scotland obviously.

It was a sore one. Especially since I think Holland were the better team. Certainly kept Neuer busy (as you'd maybe expect for a Holland team playing at home.) Germany started quickly but as soon as they went two up Holland became the better team for the remainder of the game and were unlucky not to go in at half time with reduced or even no arrears. Babbel lacking a little bit of quality in front of goal. Going for the late winner in the way that they did (and probably have to do at home) left them open at the back and they paid the price. A very disappointing night all things considered. Although I do feel that Dutch football has improved vastly from the previous two qualifying campaigns. A young team with some real quality who I'm sure will only improve. Memphis may be an obnoxious bell end but by fuck he's exciting to watch on the football pitch. Just like Arjen Robben.

Not at all. Better together, Kow. That's what you voted for and (presumably) got.

In Southgate's defence England are pretty shite.

Are they suitable for the shite Pittodrie surface?

Our fans being arseholes is nothing new. I've been finding them particularly hard to deal with this season especially at home although I had my recent visit to Celtic Park ruined by the two brain dead fucking mongs behind me who spent the whole game berating young McLennan in particular. The game itself was somewhat hard work but having those two in my ear the whole game made it pure torture. The cunt could do no right. If he held on to it he was being screamed at to pass it and if he passed it he was being screamed at to hold on to it. Watching any product (even if it's amazing which is isn't) with audible idiots is fucking hard work. Whether it's better or worse now than in the 80s I have no idea. I wish folk would turn up and support the team. There's a difference between support and happy clapping. Turning up and not screaming at or berating our own players shouldn't be hard but apparently it is. It does us no favours and IMO it only has a negative effect on the players. I remember one of our players scoring a goal (earlier this season I think) and signalling the GIRFUY to our fans. I can't remember who it was but the fans deserved it.

Green Book - excellent. Much better than I expected. Instant Family - Very good. Also better than I expected.

FFS Sake. Manc oot! He should have asked us to start these threads in his absence.

Agreed Jute. I made a sharp exit from the stands at full time on Saturday. Not that I wouldn't have taken a draw before the game because I probably would. The first half was shite. The second half slightly better but I didn't feel comfortable happy clapping the team off the park after a famous 0-0 at the Giro Dome. Not the worst result in the world by any means but we could have had more.

You're not missing anything. It's a blatant and shameless attempt at deflection and to defame one of the few top level clubs in this country who could hardly be further away from the sectarian pish we always hear about. One of the things that I've always been most proud about regarding AFC is the fact that it's a one club city with no religious traditions (unlike Hearts, Hibs, Dundee, Dundee Utd, Celtic, Rangers and The Rangers) Staggering that both Huns and Tims blast out the sectarian pish every time they play at Pittodrie and we don't hear a peep from the media but now a handful of Dons fans have dared to utter the word "orange" and they're having a field day. Absolute cretins. Fuck them. This is a non issue.

I'll mark good performance no. 3 up on the old abacus then.

Nah min my boss is sound. Since everyone's apparently desperate for an explanation you can have one. At the last few home games in particular my enjoyment has been severely diminished by a combination of lacklustre results and aforementioned wankers sitting in close proximity. We're all aware of the general rule of thumb which states that you're never more than 6 feet away from a fucking bell-end at a football match but it's been particularly bad as the recent poor home run has gone on. So which part is it that you disagree with? Do you not think that negativity coming from the stands can have an adverse effect? Do you think that a good backing can have a positive effect? You said it's not worth arguing because I don't understand and then you almost back up my point by confirming what we already know that "many football fans are fucking idiots". You got your dig in about how I'm a small man but I'm unclear as to what it is that you disagree with? A small man would've banned you umpteen times by now Where's the suggestion of resentment or jealousy? From whom towards whom?

Apologies. The fact that I typed it like a mong won't have helped. I meant: Or* were you stating that in agreement [with the decision to award Best Picture to another film]? I was struggling to remember where/how I discovered the Baku performance. Could it have been posted on this forum by yourself? I think that was the performance that made me sit up and take notice. I'd like to see her live but her ostentatious showmanship would be a bit much for my personal taste. I do admire her creativity and I'm not saying it wouldn't be a hell of a show. Just unsure how much I would get out of it.

Message to fans who will whinge and scream and shout themselves hoarse at the first misplaced pass: Fuck off and don't come back to Pittodrie. Your negativity helps nothing and your inability to process emotions like a grown-up is far more likely to have a negative effect on the players than a positive one. You're part of the fucking problem. I'm not clearing McInnes entirely but our away form supports the claim that we play better away from our horrible cunt fans. Entitled north-east wankers.

I don't disbelieve that you were told that and I don't disbelieve that he believed what he was telling you himself. I'm nae calling anyone a liar or anything. I just don't believe that Scots were "100% behind the English" in a football tournament and I don't really buy that the wars had any real impact on support levels or that the 2014 failure of the Scottish electorate backs up the claim in any way. I have no doubt that some may have supported England but that number would've been a long way from 100%. I'd be surprised if it was above 50%. Many of the no voting cunts that I have the misfortune of seeing on Twitter were the same folk that give it "Anyone but England!" during a football tournament. The Pensioners voted No because they were told they'd lose their pensions. Not because they felt a togetherness with England or the rest of the UK.
