Settle down mate. Nobody suggested that you would be celebrating, that was a big leap to make. I have tried to stay away from the persistent appearances on here from Stoney when things are going poorly because I don't particularly mind the guy and didn't want to get sucked into the discussions. However, it just gets tiresome after a while. I am well aware that everyone wants the best for Aberdeen (as you well know) but there has to be a point where you seek to understand the bigger picture rather than constantly reacting to the downs of our team like they are wholly representative of our fortunes and automatically map future performance. I have my doubts about Calderwood, always have. However, I understand that there are many variables at play here and his limitations, along with those of the players are only one part of the rich tapestry that is Aberdeen FC. If people want to live in the simplistic world where a few simple decisions made correctly that the entire management of the club have failed to see will alter our fortunes then they are welcome to do so. However, don't expect others who believe things to be more complex and multi-layered to provide fertile ground for these simplistic rantings.

Loving that logic mate, loving it.

We have one of the best away records in the league and I can't recall us winning any games at Parkhead, Ibrox, Tynecastle, Tannadice or Easter Road. I must conclude that our apparent inability to put away the lesser sides in the league is a little overstated. Lets be honest, the real annoyance everyone is feeling is not about Mackie or Calderwood or any other individual, its simply the frustration of another lost opportunity. So lets just simmer down a little and move to the next opportunity and be satisfied that no matter how many times we make a cunt of it, the teams around us are going to continue to do the same. It was the same last year, we were losing games hand over fist and still we had the opportunity to end up 3rd but for one result at Fir Park late in the season. This is a league of inconsistency, of hot and cold performances and frustrating results that drive us all demented. We will be in the mix for 3rd and should be well placed to claim it come the end of the season. There will be ups and downs along the way and its why we enjoy being Dons fans. Suck it up soldiers

Severin without doubt

If Mackie plays I will never be back.

Try not to celebrate too hard mate. You are kind of losing sight of the point to supporting the team I think.

Yes we are watching the matches and yes we are frustrated by the limitations of players like Mackie but the knee jerk bullshit that rockets in and out of the minds of so many dons fans when our form takes a dip is staggering at times. The posters on here who you suggest 'back him up' are not dillusional about his abilities, they are pragmatic and realistic with their expectations of him and often feel the need to re-balance the extreme viewpoints of posters like yourself who tackle the issue with a distinct lack of maturity and class. Calm yourself down and look at the big picture.

Actually, I don't think they did. We just couldn't create chances. Another off day, it happens. Fair enough it happens more often than we would like but as has been said before if we were able to deliver the consistency to take 4 points from the OF and then go out and wipe the floor with everyone else then I suspect we would be going to school without our clothes on.

Is there not a thread covering this already ? We need a mod in here to deliver some discipline

I felt we controlled the majority of the game and dominated Falkirk without really coming out of 2nd gear. Trouble is that meant we never looked like putting the game away either. I thought most of the team played pedestrian football without playing badly (inc Mackie and Foster), Seve was the only player I saw who performed well. I was disappointed that Aluko didn't play from the start as it seemed the kind of game where he would have caused a lot of damage had he been on the field. I really don't get that decision Yes it was a lost opportunity but on the plus side we lost no ground and the next two games are against our immediate rivals. Roll on....

How many times.....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Depends on the dynamic of the board. If its just a talking shop and the real control and power lies elsewhere then it won't make any difference having him there. If they genuinely formulate strategy and implement in line with rules and governance then it will be useful to have him there to balance up the influence of that cunt Bain.

As an aside to your clear explanation of the situation, it gives us another excuse (however lame) to laugh at the knee deep in shit position of Hearts and now apparently their big brothers

Did I just log onto a gay porn forum by accident

They would have received two points.

My suspicions of fabrication were first aroused by the use of the 'tongue.gif' in ICT's rating. Official accountancy terminology these days ? Maybe its from the caterers who provide sauce sachets.

Always first in with the negative jibes eh ? Can you not just say one positive thing, huh ? Well ? What about it ?

excused, stoned one.

Is it practical to have a UEFA deligate at all games monitoring this bullshit. Maybe that guy in the pink t-shirt at ER was actually the UEFA rep for gay play.

The Championship are plundering the Scottish game at present and if they want a player then even Rangers and Celtic are admiting defeat. We had no chance if this guy had even a sniff he could get to the championship.

Most people have debts (mortgages, credit cards, cars etc) yet many have solid credit ratings. Its not about having debt, its about the ability or historical willingness to repay it surely.

It'd get postponed.

.........and crack some skulls en route because we all know that fair play league=gay league. FFS UTD named a fucking stand after that award, I'd rather not be in Europe than get there through being gayers.

In general I agree that we have managed to bring decent replacements in recently which is why I said 'despite being proved wrong'. However, it doesn't mean I feel confident that we will always aim to do so or be successful. You can still worry about something regardless if there is evidence to the contrary. When the club and the fans invest in a player and he then leaves, its difficult not to ask this question and current economic conditions dictate that its increasingly likely not to happen. You only have to read Strachans comments on the BBC just now to see how hard it is to attract any kind of quality to the SPL at present.

Agreed. Its not replacing them I fear
