Definitely take that! Not the best performance by any stretch of the imagination but A for effort and 3 massive points. Second in the league and a chance to go top against a St Johnstone side in equally good form. Hopefully get a big crowd to roar them on! COYR :ultras:

Need a much better second half, started well but faded badly from half through. Last 10 were a bit hairy!

Craig Murray starts in place of Logan. Same team otherwise from last week. COYR!

Any team news for this yet? Wonder how many reds will end up in the home end today with the away section a sell out?

Amazingly, although not surprisingly at all, Neil Warnock is the first manager to be sacked in the EPL. A lot of my mates calling for Pulis to return.

Arabs one up at Perth. Hopefully st. Johnstone can pull one back in the second half.

Thoroughly entertaining watch from start to finish. Ian Black, what a cunt Also, massive bullet dodged with Boyd.

Make that FOUR

Game live on BT sport, so happy days for me! In/out: Out Prematcher: House Match: House Postmatcher: Pub with the folks Prediction: 2-2, Hayes and Goodwillie Last 5 game form guide: ICT - DWWLL AFC - WLWWW Would love to see a victory here, but they seem to be pretty tough to beat at home, Thistle game was their first defeat of the season. Hopefully the form guide is an illustration of how the squad feel at the moment, especially with the new deals being signed. Would love to end the year on a high, a lot of important games coming up.

Merry Christmas to all, hope you all have a great one! I trust we've all asked for a repeat and betterment of last season

Well, well, well, I am surprised by this! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30598388 SFA pretending to be a well run organisation?

I'm in the same camp as you AllyS, not often you get a player who (rightly at the time I felt) commanded a £2million fee. Not sure, his link up play with Rooney is developing along nicely. For me he should start. According to the EE, looks like DM is going to speak to both him and Consi shortly about new deals. http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/sport/football/the-dons/dons-to-enter-contract-talks-with-goodwillie-and-considine-after-festive-period-1.753886

It's a tough one, it starts to cross the boundaries of freedom of speech. If it was the tweet I saw, it was in terrible taste, but your idea of meeting the families is a good one. Certainly doesn't deserve jail time for it.

I have to say, from what i've seen of Goodwillie, it's quite clear that his match sharpness has come back and seems to enjoy his football again. It feels like once he gets a goal or two he might start scoring a few more. All a confidence thing. I'd like to see him sign with us beyond the summer if i'm honest. Thoughts? Despite the source, I found it a good read. Comes across very well: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/moving-aberdeen-made-better-player-4842841

Good few words from both McGinn and Rooney on the beeb: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30590685

I'd think it would be between ourselves and Birmingham. Birmingham possibly being ahead as his brother is there. I'd like to think we're not solely relying on him signing though, was looking at Paul Dixon but he's probably outside our budget...especially since he seems to be holding down a place at Huddersfield. There are plenty of left backs around, whether we're looking at them is another. Can see Consi being there until the summer.

Latest in the rumour mill:

Fair play to Neymar here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-DPogK72TU#t=20

Genuinely seem to be doing things the right way for the past season and a half. Brilliant news and yes, i'd like to see Jack signed up too. But a relief to see Shankland signed up, especially after her scored a hat trick and got sent off in one game today

Rooney, McGinn, Shankland and McKenna sign new deals! http://www.afc.co.uk/news/5498#.VJhOzV4gAA

Bin lorry crashes into the Millennium Hotel in Glasgow, very sad news, especially at this time of year. According to reports, the driver had a heart attack at the wheel http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-scotland-30573149 Hope all in Glasgow are ok.

2-0 up against Motherwell, Shankland with both goals. Edit: make that 4-0, Shankland hattrick and Smith with the other.

Probably can't afford the heating. And in the away section too

Apparently it's complete lolfest on twitter

Have to say I'm thoroughly disappointed by that news. He was doing a great job Hopefully they stick with McDowell and he does an equally shite job. Wouldn't want someone competent involved!
