Couldn't agree more.  Hughes wasn't exactly an unknown quantity in Scotland and if I can look in a newspaper and see that Chris Porter was scoring goals for fun in League 1 last season then surely someone at the club must be capable of seeing the same information and saying "worth a look?".  The whole scouting network seems to be shambolic (to say the least), but what do we expect from a club that signs youth players based on their physical size at age 14 instead of their ability?

Pretty sure we do not having a scouting network as JC told the club to get rid when he first came in so he could use the money saved to bring in our striking coach and he JN and the striking coach would do all the scouting. Also JC said that he had a massive net work of contacts (friends with Martin Jol and Arsene Wenger don't you know) which would allow us to pick up players.

As for signing any of these three they would all be yet another backward step.

Do not trust JC with the cash so I voted for keep tight grip on the purse strings.

I voted for Derek Young becuae according to most folk he has been a great player by just being pish instead the total shite we were expecting.

I think this quote from Exodus suits you min

 

I am just stunned that either of you know what a bible is let alone can quote passages from it.

Not from me - I'll be leading the violent counter protests and am amassing stocks of petrol bombs and cs gas at this very moment 

 

I just think the whole thing is getting tedious and boring now... hence the challenge to put up or shut up!

Cannot be arsed protesting as will not make any difference. Manager has very lucrative 3 year deal so will not be sacked end of so any sort of protest is a waste of time. I will just keep going moan like fuck and keep making my ulcer worse until I get a life and find something more productive to do with my time.

Squad exoudus being discussed on Sportsound just now.

Edit: They just confirmed on radio that Langfield has a further 3 years to go on his contract!!! Which fucking idiot agreed to that?

Lot more common than you think.

agreed - spends too much time looking to the ref for fouls instead of just getting stuck in himself, which is all the opposition are doing.  Get rid of him, but make sure the replacement is better... same goes for all departees.

Not a fan of Miller either for reasons mentioned above. Never seen a 6ft odd player go down so easily. He if he stayed on his feet more often would be a more effective player. Also think you have apoint about the replacments. All the players that leave have to replaced be by better ones. No point in replacing shite with total shite like we did in January when we replaced the ineffectual Clark with the even worse Duff.

Depending on who you believe, it's supposed to be between £3k and £3.5k a week.

 

Hibs wouldn't give Thomson or Brown more than £1.5k a week.  I doubt many of their players would be on any more than £2k.

They have allegedly broken that wage structure to give Fletcher the new deal he signed but not sure if they splash the same level of cash for Miller. Only hope of a move for Miller is 3rd/4th division (or what ever there called now) in England as he has probably not done enough to get a championship side. Can see Barry Nic going to Championship (possibly down to Plymouth with Clark and Anderson?) and Arab in the work is convinced Lovell will sign for them.

The club don't give a fuck about winning?

 

I have no idea where you draw that conclusion from.

 

I think you just made that up.

 

Surely its capability and not willingness that is lacking.

Team I saw on Saturday (and in a fair number of games this season) showed vey little desire to win and that has been the most frustraing thing this season. Only seemed to put in a shift in when they could be arsed.

AFC Player of the season Zander Diamond

AFC Goal of the season Mackie in Dnipro

Bounce of the season Tie between bounce on section Y for goals against Munich and full time in Dnipro

Game of the season Copenhagen

AFC Cunt Award (who at the club is the biggest cunt?) Tie between JC and Wiggy

And in other catagories

SPL Cunt of the season Anyone who scored against the Dons

SPL Shitest player of the season Dave Bus

Best grub award Never really eat at matches

Best away boozer Three way tie between Argentine pub in Madrid, Sports cafe in Munich (shit hole but was bouncing for 4 days solid) and beer garden in Dnipro mentioned by Jagerdeen

Can I suggest adding in category for best away trip of the season. Dnipro wins for me.

Will be heading over to some of the preseason games if there are some on weekends.

Mcnamara was supposed to be his replacement but it just didn't work out.

Still to figure out why you bring in a full back to replace a centre half.

Do not think Clark going was a bad thing as he was not that good a player. The problem is that he has been replaced by a player, Duff, that is even worse.

Would keep Daimond and Considine but we need to get in an experience centre half to teach them the game. Severin is still best player at the club despite his poor form and if properly motivated is still an asset. Smith if injury problems are over should stay if not punt. Maybury is a decent player and if he was prepared to except a pay cut would be worth keeping. Rest are either not good enough, on loan or have not interest in staying. However still think the main problem is fact that JC is the one responsible for most of the pish we need to move on so can he be trusted to bring in replacements who are any better.

Getting it remarkably easy in here this morning especially given all the abuse I have dished out in the past to others. Actually the lack of slagging is worse than being slagged if that makes any sense.

Guys, i'm so angry I cannae even be bothered to pass much comment upon todays events.

 

Two cup semi finals, EIGHT goals conceded.

 

I sense some large quantities of alcohol being required to dull the pain.

Meant to say beer consumed last night did not dull the pain. Only made it worse. Now heading to the pub to try again.

Forgot to add that was the most gutless display from AFC I can remember. NcNamara is a waste of air. JC that is two of the most humiliating results ever for Aberdeen occurred under your management. Please do the decent thing and go now. Do not force the board to sack you and have the club waste what little transfer money we have paying you and your hangers on off.

I have never been so gutted in my life! It hurts like hell the day still and will do for a while. Severin is nae a captain, get him to fuck! He was just as bad as several others though.

 

I could go on a big rant but i dont have the energy or the enthusiasm for it. Its just pish, i hate fitba! :'(

 

 

 

Have to say cheers to all my fellow Globe Reds. What a great day oot, my sides are sare the day from laughing so much at various random things! Skinny John Hartson, taunting the Jambo, bairn next to the skip and loads of other stuff! Cheers for making what ended up being a bad day a wee bit better!

 

oh, and do i feck look like Gary Dempsey/Scott Brown!!   Im off to the pub again if anyone is aboot!

Heading for Connan Doyles shortly if you fancy it.

Will only be going to games that we have already booked trains for.

Best probably 89 league cup final as it was so sweet to win against the huns after blowing it twice in the preceeding years. Worst 4-0 in 2000. Would have left early but had an early start the next day for a trip to Dublin for a Scotland game so was forced to sit there and be taunted by the huns as was sitting right at the segregation.

Oh its his commute. I had assumed it was because he was a cripple before we signed him.

Would not mind Black at Aberdeen. Always looked a decent player against us.

Aluko shades it from Maybury but only just. Bus was a total joke and questions have to be asked about why a guy who is clearly nowhere near the standard required has been signed even on a short term deal.

Suspect wages might be a deal breaker here as he will be on a decent wage even at Leicester. We are not in a position to pay at the same level as them. If he is prepared to take a cut to come here then excellent news but if he wants to earn the same money then he will probably be moving on.
