Do we have the right to shout the odds when the team are struggling ? Yes, absolutely. Should the players concentrate on how they play to stop the fans from reacting this way ? Yes, absolutley. Does screaming at the players and booing them when they are terrible help them to improve ? Not a chance. I have some sympathy for Zander as what he is saying is correct even if I believe firmly that we should be able to do so without criticism. I play football once a week and there is this angry guy who always screams at players who are not playing well. When he starts on someone, they always play worse for the rest of the game. I consistantly tell him that he is making things worse because no player is likely to respond to his abuse by stepping up their game. Most will begin to focus on their shortcomings, worry more about close control, go soft into tackles and forget to do the simple things for fear of further abuse. While I agree with what everyone is saying here, the reality is that the players will suffer for it, it's a basic human reaction.

I'll look forward in January to the £200K cheque from Nonentity United then

It's clear that Jimmy was raging about the dropped points and the manner in which it happened, as has been said. If I had been in his position I suspect I would have blown up at someone too. I also suspect that he was specifically annoyed at Sone for not taking the fall in the box. With the benefit of time he will have realised that he cannot state this publicly as it goes against the spirit of the rules so he has made up some horseshit about not tracking back. It's clearly unfair that Sone has been singled out when he was one of the standouts in the game but its also perfectly understandable why JC blew his lid. We are all fucked off with the way it played out and I'm glad there is anger within the squad and management about it.

You are confusing him with Dale Winton

Is that your man Coutts just left of Langfield ? NO wonder we let the fucking dwarf go

It's also plausible that any jumped up little shite who gets heaved and wants to stick two fingers up when he makes it to the dazzling lights of Peterborough he will use a line like that to make the club look stupid while retaining his own dignity ? Just a thought, I'm feeling cynical today...I blame off topic.

Can someone post a list of the promising young players we have let go who have not ended up fitting carpets please ? I'm struggling after Maloney..

After 11/11/08 Defence 4 Midfield 3 Strikers 9 Considine 1 Mulgrew 3 MacDonald 2 Young 1 Maguire 1 Mackie 3 Miller 3* (* 2 pen) Aluko 2 Still debate whether Aluko is a striker ?

I'm pretty sure Mackie was offside when Miller headed the ball. We created enough chances to win it but could easily have lost 4 goals. Two very good saves from their keeper in either half and some woodwork kept us out. As has been said, cock ups early on tossed it away once more. We are getting crucified by errors at the back, the first 20 minutes made the key stone cops look highly organised.

Seabass, Were you on the 10:10 out of Waverley on Saturday ? Yours inquisitively, Ajja

I'd be wary of taking this result too well. We clearly had a very good year with player sales and European money. At present, that is an unsustainable performance though. We will benefit for 3 years as they spread the reward to ensure a better wage spend but this is money going out of the club into the pockets of players. If we don't progress and get more European football and bigger attendances this will be a short lived boom. The debt position is confusing. They are reporting 'net debt' as £6.5m which takes into account all liabilities short and long term but balances them off against cash and assets. I don't think they are reporting the real debt figure there, which is the one which runs into double figures. This may be a perfectly acceptable way to report debt but I'm not sure it is as simple as saying that £13m is now £6.5m, our cash chest is probably quite high and would be removed from the net debt but this money has been allocated to be spent over the next three years. I could be talking pish but I'm wary of too much celebrating right now.

Will 14 make a big enough queue ?

10. Him (that's you for the avoidance of doubt)

Good to see JC trying to introduce the MPB* into the equation for this game. I plan to be at the gates for 6am. *The Madrid panic button or MPB is an affectionate term used to describe the blind hysteria that surrounded Aberdeen Football Clubs allocation of tickets for a recent away game in Europe where everyone got in.

What operation is Duff getting ? Are they going to remove his head from his arse ?

You'll get in no problem, finding a seat might be a problem. I might just take one with me for convenience. ...oh, and for the purposes of statistics, I'll take the niner slot

I'm sure it will all work out, I'm not reaching for the Madrid panic button just yet It just fucks me up that UTD can't see this happening and just take the easy route of making it ticket. At least there is a good hour+ of drinking ability on the choo-choo

31% of the season gone if you assume we only play one tie in the cup. Strikers should be on 10 goals now if they want to hit 30 by the end of the season. It can all turn around on a Mackie hatrick at Tannadice but I'm not rushing to the bookies

been discussing this on our forum. I'm really pissed about this. I realise that we haven't filled our end for a few games there but given the potential for a large support you would think they would just have a policy of making it ticket to avoid past disasters. I will now have to curtail my drinking in the pub to go and queue up (probably in the pissing rain) and sit in a fucking stand 30 mins before kick off just to get a decent seat that doesn't crush my rather long legs With our recent run and a chance to nudge up towards 3rd coupled with a pay-at-the gate in Dundee I fear nonsense on Saturday

After 4/10/08 Defence 3 Midfield 3 Strikers 7 Mulgrew 3 MacDonald 2 Young 1 Maguire 1 Mackie 2 Miller 3* (* 2 pen) Aluko 1 Assuming Aluko is a striker ?

Offended ? Certainly not. That would suggest that your primary school view of life was in any way impactful. You are too stupid to be offensive. By all means stick around for the comedic value we can derive from your spoutings. I'm not terribly fussed either way.

I started to read this thread and saw that I had posted a comment on October 10. I was worried as I had no recollection of typing it. Thank christ it was in 2007!

If you think that the opinion or tastes of a section of any population immediately classifies the entire population with the same opinion then you have a lot of growing up to do mate. Its those sorts of ignorant generalisations that demonstrate a complete lack of understanding or compassion for anyone who doesn't fit into your notion of the world. Going by your absolutisms would it be logical to say that as there are a significant number of assholes on afc chat that all posters on there are assholes ?

The way he looks in that BBC photo a loan move to Frankie Goes to Hollywood might be more fitting
