Yeah suppose. What I was really thinking was these two guys, I think, are excellent coaches and motivational man managers. All they would need to do a good job up here would be someone who knows Scottish football and more importantly Aberdeen Football Club inside out. I know it's a cliche but Aberdeen is a bit of a goldfish bowl, as is being proved.

Seeing that the hatters will have driven Jimmy oot by 4:46pm GMT on Saturday... I've been thinking (although I'm sure I've said/typed this before) I'd quite like to see Steve Cotterill or Russell Slade with a someone who knows the Scottish game (Jimmy Nic maybe) as co-manager or as assistant.

I don't know I think Jimmy has proved (and knows himself) he's taken us as far as he can. I'm not sure though if getting rid is the best thing to do UNLESS, we can get someone in who has that spark, something that would make me think he could do better. I'm not sure any of the usual suspests, who have been brought up every time on these forums since Alec Miller was punted, are the answer. Then again we've had "out of the box" appointments before, and the majority think that Ebbe didn't work. For that reason I've put Europe, although I wouldn't be disspointed if Jimmy was punted or walked (never gonna happen) at the end of the season.

I've heard he might be the subjest of the thread "Worried" and is a friend of MILLERTIME? then again... I've also heard he tired of the sound of his own typing and blew his brains out wth a karcher pressure washer?

I heard Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona, Chelsea, and Man Utd have all been in contact with the Fyvies. Oh and the Irish FA have also been round with 12 sacks of tatties offering to tarmac their drive if he pledges his international future to them. April Fools! (Well apart from the Irish FA bit ) Seriously though hope this lad signs on and gets his chance, having a new Jess* come through would be a huge boost for the support. *fingers crossed, no pressure

Bring back Ebbe!

Hibs to make a bid for Darren Mackie during the summer. If this one is true and they bid ACTUAL money and we accept it, it would rank on the exact opposite end of the scale as £800k for Brian O'Neil.

6. Sven Baas, Thorarinn Kristjansson, Bill and Ben Paatelainen, Special Bus, Jamie "extra padding for" Winter, Dan Smith, Lubomir Blaha, Jon Smith, Jon Kurrant, Tommy Wright, Dung, Bertie Bossu.

6. Aberdeen 3 - Rangers 2, 1st August 2005. You right, 14th. That'll teach me for believing the first google result to be gospel Personally I blame JC for my poor google search skills (and Ricky Foster).

3. Queen of the South FOUR - Aberdeen THREE

What you talking about? Getting gubbed 4-1 by Scumdee and 4-3 by QoS rank up there as two of the high points in my time supporting Aberdeen. Those along with destroying the mighty Falkirk 2-1 to "win" a place in the top six last April.

What's even more concerning is that it apparently takes a banner from the fans to create that winning drawing mentality and not the fact that since January they've won, one game and failed to beat a (bottom half) 1st division side over two legs, injury time and a penalty shoot out. I know it came form The Hun, but FFS!

Off the Gossip bit on the BBC site. What a sad state of affairs.

I would suggest that the "next level" of reaching Europe every season would, as has been proven, increase revenue. This would in turn enable us to reach the "level above the next" which I would say should be winning a trophy every year?

We dominated extra time but we didn’t have that spark to get us a goal and when it went to penalties it was a lottery and we’re out. Why is it a lottery, I hate that term. Is someone picking numbered balls out of a bag to decide whether you score or not. Fuck sake, your well paid professionals. If you know there is a chance of a penalty shoot out, practice!.

Is McAllister nae playing at centre back these days, for Brizzle? Still a joke of a selection though.

I've never thought about it like that before, but I wonder if that's why "Jimmy's Favourites" always get a game despite dips in form etc.? If the club are giving out performance related contracts, but possibly the players are being offered better basic elsewhere, could Jimmy be taking them to one side and saying something like: "Look son, sign the contract I'll make sure you get all the bonuses linked to your contract, no matter what!"? Or have I been taking conspiracy lessons from the Tims?

This has to be the easiest season to gain European qualification since 1984 and we are doing a fantastic job of fucking it up!

Well what can you say? There is no way ANYONE can appologise for Jimmy tonight. He is responsible for tactical decisions and they were atrocious tonight. Charlie has it right! While it is not the time for a replacement due to transfer windows etc I would not be dissapointed to wake up to Jimmy's resignation in the morning. Sorry for the spelling too many whiskys hic .

Your right. I have assumed him abilities he is clearly lacking, like forming a more structured argument than "You're wrong I'm right, FACT!".

^What he said^ Who needs the rocket?

Perhaps you should make yourself clearer then because this (^) reads to me as if YOU are suggesting that these players are not[quote author= link=topic=7976.msg125983#msg125983 date=1236794000] 'experienced and competent' . I ruled out you considering them inexperienced, given their experience, and assumed you were suggesting they were incompetent. I assumed that this was the basis of your arguement with Stoney as to why they should not be described as journeymen. The opinion of them being incompetent is different to that which you expressed in another (now deleted thread) where you were extolling the virtues of Messrs Foster and Mackie. Thus you were contradicting yourself. Comprendes.

Not if his arguement is that Foster cannot be a journeyman (meaning: experienced and competent) because his opinion is that Foster is not competent. While, on another (albeit deleted thread) he was defending Fosters competence in order to discredit another poster.

Ah I see one's internet persona is allowed to have multiple opinions on a single subject, as long you keep to the same opinion on each individual thread. BTW, I have no problem with your argument over the incorrect use of the term Journeyman, just pointing out the contradictory nature of it .

However in fairness to Stoney, your established viewpoint on Foster (in particular) seems to have altered in order to discredit Stoneys viewpoint in this instance. While you may not agree with what Stoney is saying at least he is consistent. Perhaps you are a band-waggoner, after all .
