Nope, but Eddie Thompson slagged him off for not putting in enough effort for his 4 grand a week in the Daily Record. Presumably, that's how much we're paying him.

I like the look of Gretna's Yantorno, and he'd probably be the cheapest out of the midfielders already mentioned, although Cregg's probably a better shout.

The thing with Nicholson is, he's very much a family man, doesn't go out drinking with the rest of the players, so I'd reckon if he's going to go and play in some backwater in Englandshire for more money, it'll be for his family's sake, not his own. For someone who had no ties to Aberdeen before he came here, you can't really argue with that. And he does seem to be willing to stay if we improve our offer as I doubt he'd want to uproot his family. Seems a shame we can't find another couple of G's to bump his wages up a bit.

It took a lot of effort for me not to leave at half time yesterday, it was dire stuff. The only thing that keeps me going at the moment is that I always manage to persuade myself to buy a season ticket every summer. There's no way I'd pay £21 to watch that utter garbage on offer. Too much emphasis is being put on entertainment. Entertainment to me is playing basic football to a good standard, we're not even doing that. We're only getting away with it because most of the teams in the league are just as bad, if not, worse.

One of the worst games I've been to in my life, how we never conceded a goal with one of the worst defensive line ups in the club's history I'll never know.

And me...

The SFA should be investigating Rangers for allowing a spokesperson connected to their club say those things about Aberdeen players. That's far more harmful to relations between 2 clubs than one young fringe player having a bit of banter with a mate of his on the internet. I'm more concerned that Maguire reckons Celtic are the only team in the SPL. If he likes them that much he can fuck off and sit in Celtic Park every week.

Copenhagen, not only the best of the year, but probably the best of my conscious life.

No it's not. There has never been a song that starts 'who's that lying on the stairwell?' That is complete fabrication from the knuckledraggers.

That's the problem, Hutton shouldn't have been quiet, he's a hothead on a yellow card, smarting from being made a fool out of, he should have been put under constant pressure, Clark running at him, giving him a bit of chat 'haha I got you back even better and one of your players got sent off'.

Pity he doesn't have more balls, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden from Hutton for the rest of the match.

I did wonder why none of the flags were up. Nae doubt John Morgan pandering to the Huns again or somesuch.

Doesn't he mean, again, as in addition to us?

Losing Clark wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if it meant the likes of Touzani and De Visscher got a prolonged run in the team in their preferred positions.

That would be for the last 16?

Munich's quite far away from Hamburg and Leverkusen/Dusseldorf, we should be fine on that front I'd hope.

I've booked up on the assumption that the game will be on the 21st, waiting on booking the hotel just in case though. EDIT - Allowed to cancel hotel up to the 19th, so went ahead and booked it. InterCityHotel Muenchen.

WHAT. THE. FUCK. :o

No it hasn't?

He's only played for Hibs 5 times this season, all coming off the bench. Is he good enough to be a regular first team starter for us? I'm not so sure.

Nicholson for me. Giving to to Diamond would put too much pressure on him I think, and he can do a captain's job on the pitch without a piece of elastic around his arm.

What the fuck is going on?

All those just returning from injury or carrying little niggles should be rested until Thursday.

Q's 1. Where do you travel from? 2. How do you get there/back? 3. What do you usually do before/after the game? 4. Preferred location? 1. Top of Union Street 2. Bus/Bus unless it's a midweek/Sunday game, then you've sometimes got a 45 minute wait for the next available bus. 3. Nothing, go straight to the match then straight home again. 4. Not overly fussed, but if the club think Cove is the best place for it for the reasons they stated, then I'm happy to support their decision for the benefit of the club.
