Spot on GS. + 1 I've highlighted the bit in bold as its a point I raised before the Hibs game (I think after the Murderwell defeat). The board needs freshening up, some new imput and ideas. I can't see where its going to come from and that is why we are going stale. It doesn't matter who the manager is, this is where the rot first manifests. Mark McGhee has to stay, I just hope that the board miraculously manages to find some cash to invest, like the managed to find to pay off the Jimmy's and Motherwell. Show us evidence of this "extensive footballing budget". The fans have more than done their bit, now its time for you and the rest of the club to step up to the plate. COME ON YOU REDS.

Blimey tsr! Thats just depressed me further but i do agree, its hard to see where the spiral will end.

I stopped reading half way through. Its a load of bollocks. As you saw tsr, its probably more him trying to say the right thing but no matter what he says, unless its, new stadium is on site next year and i will invest in the team this summer, none of us will be happy. You could see this performance a mile off.

Which makes it all the more frustrating that the club do not appear to act on it. Its the same old problem that has been evident for years.

Exactly tsr, they clearly want the cup and somehow managed to stump up the cash to replace a man who wasn't capable of doing so. However as per, the didn't follow it up. We need investment but Fuck knows where its going to come from. Milne is our saviour and oppressor.

As has been highlighted by Ajja and Rocket, JC had to go. It was the right decision to get rid of him, just as most of us agreed/debated before the replacement was announced we felt McGhee wasn't the right answer. Obviously none of us want him to fail, and I hope he can turn it around. But the evidence is firmly stacked against him. Nothing has changed, we changed like for like (or even slightly worse off) and we're back where we were last year but with an inferior league position. Sacking McGhee now is not an option, this team needs rebuilding and investment. I just hope the club has the balls to do it, or a steady decline on and off the pitch will continue.

Fuck you Aberdeen. What a waste of time, money and emotion the past 6 months has been. Thanks for fuck all.

Agree with you tsr. Aluko made no effort whatsoever to track back.

On paper we are, but as you say, it all comes down to attitude, and the consistency of our inconsistency this season, I wouldn't be surprised if we got pumped out the cup. I hope I'm wrong though, because they showed great character coming from 2 goals down. Re: my point about another penalty decision, was someone not wiped out either just before or just after the penalty we got?

Thought the same thing yesterday, well actually. My initial reaction was, how the fuck did whoever miss that??? Then I realised it was him and it all made sense. But the fact remains, he got into a very good position and invariably bottles it! highlights are up now, I enjoyed them twice over Paton's strike just gets better and better. I was susprised that the BBC showed the 2nd penalty incident, not like them to show these things even when they are so blatant. They still missed another one I suppose.

I do, but then when the page loads up, it goes. Its just when the text is larger than the text box. And everytime you type it goes between the point of typing to the middle of the text. Pretty mental and hard on the eyes!

Thought it was quite a tough choice today. Mackie, Paton and Maclean all played extremely well, but in the end I went for Paton.

2-2 now. Petrov with a front post header. Since the 2nd palace goal, the game has improved greatly. A good cup tie. Agree with you bobby, but i'd say spurs more than villa. Apparently kevin davis' goal for bolton was a cracker.

Ha ha rocket, i thought that as soon as the goal went in. Superb strike, palace hit the bar after that as well.

How can you have a cheeky wee elbow!? Typical hun bastard's! After a good first half, the palace - villa game has been quite dull. Palace seem to have their own ultras!

I see it finished 3-0 to der hun. I thought hibs usually played quite well at snake mountain?

I thought that was just me, but its happened a few times when you're quoting a big bulk of text. Reekie min, sort it out!

Jmo as Leith said, its a great pub for the football, especially when the dons are playing well. If you don't make it there, it'll be on at the links, but my advice would be the globe for some jager party time COME ON YOU REDS. Lets get into these irish pretenders!

Maguires best position is up front. There is no debating that and i wouldn't say he's crap when played there. Its just its like Reekie says, it'll be late on or Shite service. Hopefully this loan move will knock some sense in him whilst also restoring some confidence in his forward play. Fingers crossed he'll return a better player.

Good on him. I hope its a success and he gets the support of the fans and club. Sounds like a good idea in principle.

You'd hope that should we qualify, the team will want to rectify the embarrassment of earlier in the season!

I wasn't lying! I've not seen a British support like them. Fulham were great to watch, and some of Burnley's play was good, just lacked the finishing touch. Reekie, it was a deal on offer for Season ticket holders I think, £5 + booking fee, I'm not sure how many went on general sale. Still though, It was pretty busy considering it was a game against an unfashionable team. Also, a crazy amount of hot American women in the home support ?!?

Exactly, he's failing to deal with the pressure at pittodrie, he'd have topped himself or been lynched by now at the tattie dome.

Just on the bus home from the fulham game tonight. Cracking game, great atmosphere, no doubt helped by the burnley fans who were magnificent. Good banter with them and and the second half they didn't stop singing the whole time. Amazing stuff. Well worth my 6 quid
