Aye, same. I guess he knew that he was a long way from his best and understood that AFC couldn't afford to keep him whilst his confidence was slowly rebuilt. Whether Ifil's career will ever recover from mark McGhee remains very much in doubt. Very sad really.

Aye but for that we'd need a fundamentally competent management team and we were missing that.

Maybe explains how Ifil started out so well. Then McGhee's management made him go backwards.

Aye. Rob MacLean clearly wasn't aware of Mulgrew's booking either.

I saw The Debt on Friday. Really good film.

I don't think Sportscene mentioned a booking for him. Odd.

De Gea won Man Utd a point on his own at Anfield last weekend. I actually thought he was growing into the role at man Utd. I've not really seen enough of yesterday's game to decide how badly he played. Although going by what a lot of you are saying Ferdinand was shite. I've been telling folk that he's been shite for ages. He's as overrated as carragher!

I would have been able to get a team together I dare say but I#m already double booked on the 11th. Just out of curiosity.. say £10,000 was raised from the night (I have no idea how realistic this is. It's just a random figure) how would it be spent? I know it's for Youth Development but what specifically does this mean? Just curious like.

Was that some kind of deliberte ironic fail?

I agree with Bobby. The first and main thing I felt during and after reading the article was sadness. McGhee's undoubtedly feeling hurt and bitter and whether he would admit it or not it's there for all to see. It's alarming to think that he genuinely thought all he had to do to completely turn us around was turn up because he's a Gothenburg great. I'm 26 so narrowly missed out on many of the club's glory years but I can assure you they're important to me. I've seen all the videos and DVDs and despite never seeing many of them play the players that helped make that time great do mean a lot to me and I'm sure all of the other younger fans too. McGhee's still a legendary player and I would hope that Aberdeen fans can treat him with the respect he deserves. As a manager he made many mistakes. No doubt about it. Ones that you can't blame the chairman, tea lady or receptionist for. The writing was on the wall when he started his AFC managerial career by stating he would've preferred the Celtic job. Deep down we'll all understand that but you can't come out and say it in public. That was one mistake out of an absolute fuck ton of mistakes. Whilst Milne must take a lot of the flak for our recently (15 years) of general shiteness (barring the slight, yet fruitless improvement under Jimmy Calderwood) McGhee must take a lot of the flak for how his reign turned out. It comes back down to the basics. How a competent manager can leave a team so unbalanced is still beggars belief.

I agree with Broon's questioning of Jack's first yellow card. Ridiculous decision. Especially after Mulgrew got away with a worse one. It's a conspiracy. Great goal and all round performance from Jack as far as I saw. Poor tackle aside. Still LOL out loud at the folk that don't rate him. It's a shame that the dirty timmy minks stole a winner like but encouraging performance none the less. The huns are strong on the road but they don't like coming up to Pittodrie so I think if we play how we've been playing we'll cuase them problems. Mon the Dons.

It would be better if we played like a bunch of nae-users and got a point or three from it.

Just finished watching it. Had a grin on for most of the program! It certainly paints the future of RFC football club in a very gloomy light and I've thouroughly enjoyed it!

Good because I only went and fucking missed it fo real this time. Although I looked on iPlayer last night and it wasn't on. How long does it take before it's available on iPlayer?

0 - 0 = 0 My point is he doesn't get a game anyway.

:-[

They're shite and no better than what we have. At a tiny fraction of the cost we could clear the junkies and drunks out it and it'd be fine. Waste of fucking money. I'd choose the first one if I thought for a second it might actually look like that. The paths will be grey after a very short while (if they're even white in the first place) and as someone else said they're going to need railings. Which aren't pictured. So to me it doesn't seem like that (or any other of the designs for all I know) are being portrayed accurately.

:lolabove: :lolabove:

FFS sake I only missed it. Anyone know if it's on iPlayer?

The story I heard was that JJ decided not to take him because he wasn't better than what they already had. Or he was too similar to what they already had. One of the two. I think it was on here that I read that. I didn't know that Kari cut the trial period short.

I think those two are very important. We all know that. This is where we'll see if Milne and the board has any fucking interest in the product on the park and keeping the backbone of a good team on the park. I'm nae holding my breath.

Jesus! I must have been about 7 the last time I watched that! :lolabove:

Am I the only one only able to see 2 or 3 out of the 6 pictures on the BBC site?
