Thats quite scary really. think we have been here before with zero(rip x) a luxury player we can ill afford, when we have a left back, who cant defend behind him (mulgrew is a midfielder, as once, seve was a GREAT midfider. not blaming either, blaming jimmy for not having a clue how to set up a team. aluko is great for 10mins tops in a game. mackie is pish but at least hes our colour o pish. I'm not saying there isn't racism at Pittodrie, but its less vocal, but some of that shite on that board disgusts me.

Indeed! Apparently Hughes was on Sultana saying that judging by the highlights Killie should have won I always struggle to understand the logic with the people who do the highlights, because they usually miss the most important stuff!

Just watched the highlights, they don't really show very much which i'm quite annoyed about. I'm sure I read somewhere that Miller and Considine had efforts blocked by Hammill late on? Seemed like Aluko was the only one that did anything.

Age getting the better of you Ajja

SS Red, I think you'll find plenty of Pakistani's do actually like football. When I studied in Manchester, you quite often saw them wearing united and city shirts. Hell they even have their own Muslim league so to say they don't like football is way wide of the mark. AFC I think were trying to broaden the potential attendees which I see no problem with. Whats wrong with trying to attract a more diverse crowd when our crowd numbers are dwindling? Re Racism in the Aberdeen support, I've heard it once, directed at Szamotulski to which I told the guy to fuck off and he apologised.

All sounds quite positive! Lets hope it continues and I am very glad we got Hodgekiss an extended loan deal with us! Looks like a tidy player. As BB said, it is frustrating that we don't start our season like this, but other teams have blips and slow starts. Just makes our season more exciting Did Young start? Has he not been very ineffectual of late? Odd that he still seems to be getting a game ahead of others. But most important thing is that we got the three points, 3rd by December could still be on BB

On topic though, good move from the club. Hopefully it will pay off!

Completely agree with that. I just wish they'd wrap him up in cotton wool until he finally got fully fit. He'd easily get a good run after that and would prove his worth.

As a few have said, its about time some away team got on the end of a drubbing at Pittodrie. I'd be more than happy with a 2-0 win for us! Though I can see us conceeding one as they seem to be scoring a few goals this season.

We've got Stuart Smith, we don't need another left back. Hopefully he'll get a chance to shine sooner rather than later.

Indeed They're going to see Producer.

Aye the one holding the bottle of buckie and the one in the tracksuit.....

I thought so. I just don't agree with why they should have flags banned. I've always admired most of what they do and certainly add's something to the games.

Whats that like? I was gutted I missed him playing at the Arches a couple of weeks back. Currently listening to the return of Grooverider on radio 1

Ultras’ Pittodrie flags are banned Red card after Celtic flashpoint By Charlie Allan Published: 22/10/2008 COLOURFUL: The Red Ultras' display. More Pictures THE Dons today revealed they have banned flag displays at Pittodrie. Aberdeen have given fans group the Red Ultras – who organise colourful displays on match days – the red card after smoke flares were let off during last month’s SPL clash with Celtic in Glasgow. Club sources confirmed the ban was imposed in connection with an alleged incident at Celtic Park where a man was said to have used a ticket purchased by the Ultras group. The Ultras receive special privileges to get into Pittodrie early to lay out the card and flag displays which have been a feature of Aberdeen’s home games in recent seasons. That privilege has been removed until further notice. Dons spokesman Dave Macdermid said: “The ban on flag displays will remain until we decide otherwise. “We are not happy with what happened at Celtic Park and believe we have taken the right step to show that bad behaviour at games will not be tolerated.†The SPL take a dim view of fans carrying smoke flares into matches and have asked the Dons to explain why a total of five were set off during the Celtic game. Macdermid said: “We have already been fined by UEFA because a fan set off a flare during our match against Dnipro in the Ukraine. “It’s important we are seen to act and urge fans to remember it’s the club who will suffer if they don’t behave at games.†The Ultras responded to the ban by raising a banner at last weekend’s match at Falkirk with the words “Business as usual†printed on it. The Evening Express received a telephone call from a fan, who initially claimed he wasn’t a member of the Ultras, confirming the ban was in place. The fan eventually admitted he was a member of the Ultras but refused to give his name and promised to get one of their group to come back with an official comment. We are still waiting. We were also unable to contact Steve McCormick, who has acted as the spokeman for the Ultras in the past. CRAIG Hendry, 27, of Aberdeen, appeared in Glasgow Sheriff Court on September 30 charged with culpable and reckless conduct at the Celtic game. He made no plea or declaration and was granted bail. Can't say I saw the flare being lit, but thats a shame.

Completely agree. My prozac led prediction of 3rd by December suits me much more though

A couple of my mates were thinking of going to that.

If only Wright was stood next to bateman, wouldn't half be the truth!

When I saw the result, I thought the same thing As much as I disagreed with the decision at the time and probably still do. Glad to hear it sounds like we're starting to tighted up the arse end of our team. It really needed/needs to happen before we worry about scoring goals ourselves. Macnamararararara GTF

Happy days, good result. Anyone at the game yesterday? Don't quite know how I want the derby to go tomorrow, I think a draw but if a win, I'd rather Hibs. I know we can claw it back on them, but Jambo's are too unpredictable.

I really don't want to see him up at Pittodrie. One season wonder and this season has proved it so far. I don't know or care at the moment who else is out there, I still have faith in the baloon that is jimmy calderwood. At least till the end of December and I think the board will too, If things are still bad, then they will wait till the Scottish whatever it is called Cup to make their move.

I thought Mair was shite everywhere apart from CB? Or am I missing something?

I am indeed I will give you a call! Or are you heading back up North?

My optimism is usually unjustified, rash and short lived, but I don't care I've just seen in the past two games there has been a big improvement in movement and approach to the games. The teams around us are no better and there isn't much between us and them. As I said, I've had dogs abuse at people for us being bottom, but I don't care, we will be back. We can do it. A good result on Saturday will help everyone P.S. I don't know where I get these crazy ideas from either
