3 years!!! Cannot belive this usless twat has got another contract.

According to East Fife site game is in doubt. Aberdeen v East Fife We have just spoken with Aberdeen FC who have informed us that although their pitch is fine the problem we now have is the approach roads to Pittodrie. The situation will be monitored by Grampian Police and a decision will be made, hopefully by 9am tomorrow morning. Safety of all supporters is paramount. We will update our website as soon as we have more information in the morning. Sadly my train is before 9 so will be on the way before the pitch inspection.

One poor performance? What about Hamilton and Alloa?

Snowing on and off here in the Capital.

The bit in bold is the thing that frustrates me the most and is clearly a fault in Calderwoods style of management and imo the main reason we will never win anything with him as a manager. The other concern I have is that from what I have heard about Saturday the players put in the same shiftless and heartless performance that they put in against Hamilton and Alloa earlier in the month. There was no flu to use as an excuse this time and it looks more like to me that players are not getting motivated to play against these teams. This might be down to the attitude of the players but surely it is the job of the management team to get the players up for the games and this clearly is not happening all the time.

From what has happened in the past it seems that its just a talking shop because when it comes to decisions Lex Gold just does what he wants or whatever Martin Bain and John Ried tell him to.

Apart from putting Aluko back in the side who else can we bring in?

Not replaced Hart at right back either and would argue that as poor as Clark was he is still a better player than Duff.

Only reason for making Diamond Captain that I can see is that it would give us extra levarage on getting the fee up when we eventually sell him. Do not think there is any other reason as can still lose the heid a bit to easily for my liking.

Agreed Ajja. It is not so much the players leaving that bothers me (fact of life for a club of our size) its the worry of if they will be replaced by a player of equal or better quality.

Will not be bothering turning up to a testimonial for Mackie. I know has a local loon, would run through walls for the club etc but he is a pish footballer and should have been punted long ago.

No but McVitie keeping fit might well be a major factor in them getting up or not.

Seen Peterhead play with and without McVitie and they look like a far better team with him playing.

Saw him play a couple of times for Peterhead and stood out in both games however as both games were in the 2nd division hard to tell how he would have faired at SPL level.

A good player who will be hard to replace. Cannot think of any players on the go in Scotland that we could get into replace him that we could afford. Will leave us short of a centre half and a midfielder.

Was going to ask the same question.

Even at mediocre he was a better option than Mackie on the wing but if you cannot get a game for whatever reason in front of Mackie then I suppose it really is time to move on.

Saturday was an oppertunity lost to give the worst Hun team I can recall seeing (and I am old enough to remember the pish Hun teams of the 80s) a right good doing. They were there for the taking but for what ever reason be it poor form or negative tactics we failed to do that. Was left feeling very frustrated on Saturday and a bit disappointed that so many Dons fans now see a negative 0-0 against a weak Hun team as a good result.

Think the guy your thinking of is Kula at Peterhead.

It would be competative but also shit as all the money would follow the old firm and the decent players would follow the money.

About 15 mins walk.

True. Only got to look at Huns. A few years back they had 9 or 10 players in U17 squad and of them only Fleck (who was playing above his age level) has made it anywhere near the first team. Was just pointing out that we have had this sort of numbers before at this level and nothing has come of it.

Edit meant to add will be there.

We had this sort of representation before in the U17 ,U18 and U19 set ups problem is they do not seem to make the step on from there.

Would still like us to sign a decent partner for Miller as think Aluko is needed wide to create chances. Also as much as I enjoyed winning on Sunday I still think we have someway to go before we are the finished article. Its only two weeks since we lost without any fight and were out played at Hamilton and made look very poor by Alloa.
