If Ryan Babel spent as much time concentrating on his footballing career as he did posting endless drivel on Twitter he'd be the worlds greatest player.

 

He fell over less than Miller would have

Vernon may not be the greatest player in the world but as long as he keeps scoring the goals at the rate he is managing at the moment I'll be happy.  He is just 1 goal short of Lee Millers best haul of goals in a season for us now and it took 48 starts and 4 sub appearances for Miller to score 13 goals

Pretty standard stuff from them, they usually ask for the cost of the shirt/baws they donate.

 

My sis organised a charity auction a few years back and every club DONATED a few bits and pieces. Celtic were not represented as they wanted the cost price of everything.

Pretty funny when you think that charity was one of the reason they were founded.  And if you know your history indeed

What about Barry Nicholson's hat-trick?

That was in the league cup   Bebo is the first player since Booth to score a Scottish Cup hat trick.

Hibs really are shite at the moment, long may it continue

While the goal scorers are getting all the headlines I thought Ryan Jack had a great game playing wide today.

Site feels really slow tonight.  Pages are taking ages to load and sometimes don't even load fully.

I really don't understand why the Liverpool fans were so desperate for Dalglish.  This just has epic fail written all over it.

Dusting of snow in town now.  Hopefully there isn't a sudden dump of snow tonight and the game tomorrow gets called off. 

From todays EE:

It would be great to see him get an extended run in the team that isn't interrupted by injuries.  He just seems to give off a certain aura of composure on the ball you don't get from many of our other defenders. 

In/oot: In

Prematch: Pittodrie Bar

Match: South Stand, probably near the away section for some banter

Postmatch: Pittodrie Bar

Prediction: 3-0 Dons

Daily Mail reporting Roy Keane has been sacked now - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1344794/Roy-Keane-sacked-Ipswich-Tractor-Boys-dismiss-boss-promotion-promise-falls-short.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

I was beginning to wonder if this guy was real or not.

Aberdeen have this afternoon competed the signing of 20 year old Myles Anderson until the end of the season. The English youngster is a left sided defender who can play in a number of roles.

 

Myles spent some time at Blackburn at the start of the season and Craig Brown received a recommendation on the player from his contacts down south that resulted in him training at Motherwell shortly before the manager left the Fir Park club.

 

Myles told RedTV "I am delighted and very proud to be here. I had a number of opportunities to sign for different clubs at home and abroad but after spending sometime at Motherwell with Craig and Archie I knew I wanted to work with them. I was honoured they were so keen to bring me to Aberdeen. I have huge respect for them and they are the right people to take my career forward."

 

Myles has been allocated squad number 25.

Fellow keeper Cammy Bell has also been offered a new long-term deal, which it is understood he has agreed to sign.

 

Bell gained full international honours with Scotland when he came on as a substitute against the Faroe Islands in a 3-0 win at Pittodrie in November.

Tannadice but more for the pre-match boozing then the actual football.  Only seen us win twice there.

And an experienced loan midfielder to cover til Folly's fit, and take some of the load off of Jack and the other young lads would be nice.

I see Lee Hendrie has been released by Bradford City

Gives us a chance to pull away from St Mirren in the next league game.

Forgot they were our next league opponents.  Three points from that game would be very very welcome in the current circumstances.

St Mirren 0-2 Killie at the moment.  Good result for us as it means we'll stay in 9th.

I hate it.  Who the fuck is responsible for that flag anyway?

From a Cardiff fan on mad:

Sounds OK.  With McNamee and maybe Capaldi signing as well I wonder if Ifil might be moved on now.

"In training we work on possession, passing and movement. The strikers work together as do the defenders and by Wednesday they will have the back four set up and the same keeper, that's the way it stays until the game.

 

A couple of months ago we just didn't know what was happening under Mark McGhee but the new manager has brought everyone together.

It sounds so simple.  Makes you wonder what McGhee was doing with the player when it came to training   Judging by the quote above it is little wonder the defence has been all over the place this season.

Looking forward to Battle: Los Angeles. 

Doubt it.

The re-arranged fixtures will have been agreed by both clubs and afc always prefer midweek games on a Tue for some reason.

Ah yea forget Tuesday was our preferred day for midweek games.  Should have remembered that as I missed our game at home to Inverness as it was meant to be a Wednesday but was shifted to a Tuesday.  Missed that game because I already had a trip down to Glasgow to see Amorphis and Orphaned Land in Glasgow which turned out to be far more enjoyable then the Dons game would have been!
