Beating Kilmarnock in CIS Cup will appease fans

 

ABERDEEN boss Jimmy Calderwood believes an away win over Kilmarnock tomorrow night will help calm the Red Army.

 

After earning just one point from four home matches at Pittodrie, Calderwood is confident his side's impressive form on the road can see them through to the quarter-finals.

 

Dons football director Willie Miller insists a cup final place is vital to his plan to re-build the club and make it a major power once again.

 

And Calderwood said: "I know the supporters are frustrated by what's happened at Pittodrie and the best way to start repaying them is to give them another long cup run to savour.

 

"It has been poor in terms of home results but we have a one hundred per cent record away from home and haven't conceded a goal on our travels yet.

 

"Hopefully that's not tempting fate for the game at Kilmarnock but we go there with confidence even if it's the hardest tie we could have got at this stage.

 

"It's not what we were looking for as a seeded team in this round so the draw wasn't kind but we seem to have the bit between our teeth away from home.

 

"We have only lost six league goals overall after six games and if you continue that ratio until the end of the season you wouldn't be too unhappy.

 

"If you want to win trophies then you have to do well at difficult venues and hopefully, we will come back from Ayrshire in a good mood again.

 

"There is still loads of time to do something about our poor home league form but this competition is settled on the night and we want to be involved in every competition.

 

"We got to the semi-finals of both competitions last year and it was absolutely fabulous as it created so much interest and excitement at the club.

 

"The only disappointment was not going all the way to the Final and this is our chance to make amends, we are determined to keep the run going."

 

Calderwood was at Rugby Park to see Kilmarnock lose to Celtic on Sunday but still reckons it will be tough to maintain their formidable away record.

 

He said: "I know it will be a hard game, it always is down there and Jim Jefferies has steered Kilmarnock to a good start again.

 

"But we want to make sure we get this club back to a final and hopefully win it."

 

Which impressive away form would this be? Three 1-0's against Motherwell, Ayr and St Mirren, none of which could be described as impressive wins on their own, possibly getting the job done.......

 

I thought he played well.  I know for a fact that Leighton's not holding Bossu responsible for last night.

 

Well, even the commentator on bbc scotland pretty much said he was the biggest embarrassment of a so-called professional player he had ever seen.

 

"A 6ft 7 goalkeeper who can't catch" was another choice quote, which in my book is up there with a chocolate tea-pot.

 

And Glasgow Sheep, if you think it is nonsense, please list your queue of potential managers who are clambering for JC's job.

He had a great command of the box I thought

Wasn't at the game and haven't seen it so can only go on what the radio said.

You weren't even there, stop posting shite.

Folk will start taking the hump if you keep this shite up.

 

Bossu was awful, end of.

 

Diamond had a fucking nightmare, really really poor, can't remember him being so bad.

 

Seve looked the part as soon as he went into midfield.

 

Foster just ran all over the place occasionally pointing and frequently losing the ball though had a great shot in the first half he was unlucky not to score with.

 

Mair looked pretty composed when he came on though that was next to Diamond, like Jade Goody next to Lisa Snowdon.

 

Hodgekiss looked tidy enough though I agree with what someone else posted, this was a fucking cup tie against an SPL form team, why fuck about?

 

Please Clangers, don't ever ever get injured whilst that teflon gloved ride is your back up. 

And we all thought it couldn't get worse than soapy! ffs
