ABERDEEN FC boss Jimmy Calderwood today thanked the Red Army for aiding their bid to qualify for Europe.

 

A pocket of fans took part in a half-hearted protest outside Pittodrie calling for the Aberdeen FC manager’s head their 1-0 victory over Inverness Caley Thistle.

 

Calderwood refused to criticise them but admitted he would prefer to focus on the way the majority of Dons fans have backed his team since they crashed to Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup.

 

Calderwood said: “It’s not pleasant to know people feel that way about you, everyone would rather be praised.

 

“But I would rather speak about how well the majority of the fans have backed us over the last few weeks. The Aberdeen FC fans have been brilliant when you consider how badly we let them down against Dunfermline.â€

Aberdeen FC fans have to get behind us

McDonald was disappointed a small section of fans protested against Aberdeen FC manager Jimmy Calderwood after the 1-0 win over Inverness Caley Thistle.

 

The demo was a flop with about a dozen fans turning up.

 

McDonald, who scored the winner against Caley, said: “You never like to see protests and things like that, so we wanted the win even more than normal for the manager.

 

“Thankfully, we got that to make sure we finish in the top six again this season.

 

“Now we aim to get into Europe, and to do that, everyone has to pull together.â€

Do you think the cripple would be doing anything else but lick the sphincter and curly ball hairs of Calderwood

 

you've thought about that far too much, far far too much....

Do you think the cripple would be doing anything else but lick the sphincter and curly ball hairs of Calderwood in the attempt to try and get a new contract? His only other contract offer is from the wheelchair fencing association

 

 

From what I read on MAD, it sounded like Smith had yet another horrendous game for us. They were under the impression he was going to get a new deal (I didn't think the club had commented yet). Im still undecided whether or not he should get a new deal, leaning towards no at the moment.

there was a bit in yesterday's Herald with Smith again saying it is a privilege to play for Aberdeen and he really doesn't want to move. He's now worried as the club haven't spoken to him about a contract. 

I would like to think the club is being clever on this and leaving it very late on purpose so Smith panics and re-signs on largely reduced basic terms.

Indeed, I'd like to hope so. Did they not offer him a improved contract during his second season with us? I hope he regains his form with general match practise, but at the moment, I know he's not value for money.
