ABERDEEN FC today admitted they have no idea when star defender Zander Diamond will be fit again.

 

Diamond has now been sidelined for almost two months with a foot injury.

 

Aberdeen FC had hoped a series of injections last week would put the 24-year-old on course to return in their SPL clash with Hearts at Pittodrie, a week on Saturday.

 

But manager Mark McGhee today confirmed Diamond has no chance of making that game and could be out for some time yet.

Who cares, better off with him out the team.

So basically Charlie Allan was hovvering around the front door at Pittodire, spotted McGhee and said

 

"Any idea when Diamond will be back, Mark?"

 

McGhee said "I don't know when he'll be back. Do I look like the club doctor?"

 

And now Fat Ex-postie's omitted the "FYI" directed at him and made a backpage headline out of it. Another non-story from this excuse of a reporter.

Who cares, better off with him out the team.

 

Agreed. Better off without Charlie Allan in the EE's team of reporters

Can you just stop this pish please?

Totally agree, just head back to the HAT please Mini.

It's better of not giving him the satisfaction of replying to him.

 

Anyway, I think Diamond has not been that big a miss as what I thought he would be. Would still rather have in my team than not, but the lack of goals is the biggest worry.

5 clean sheets without him, once Ifil is fit he'll be back in with Big Andy, neither deserve to be dropped, Zander would only be on the bench anyways so it is good thgat he is getting the chance to rest this inury.

And 4 humiliating defeats, what's your point?

I can only think of 3 humiliating defeats, one with Ifil in the team.

You should maybe start going to more games then

I was at all 3, Sigma, home and away, Dundee away, actually that one isn't even humiliating, most people had an idea that we would probably lose that game.

Well, if you think it's acceptable to be beated by a lower league team, then you're gonna end up with the team you deserve.

 

We were pumped by Celtic too, 3-0 at half-time. Unacceptable.

Never said it was acceptable though, did I?  See trying to put words in to fit your agenda.

 

We lost the celtic game 3-1 though, second half performance was much better than the first half, that wasn't humiliating though, they are a team going for the league title with a much bigger budget.

Very poor there.

 

If the defeat isn't humiliating, then surely it's acceptable then?

 

I never said we lost 3-0, I said it was 3-0 at half-time, feel free to read my post again.

 

I seem to remember us winning a game against Celtic at home last season by 2 clear goals, both of which came from a certain Zander Diamond too. But yes, we're a much better team without him

We were pumped in the first, they totally eased off in the second and we still only managed to score a goal that came out of no-where. I felt humiliated. I really thought we'd miss Diamond more than we have, but its a positive sign that we have a pairing that seem to play well together and help us forget about him. I still wish him a speedy recovery.

Shame on you for feeding the troll guys!

 

Whether Zander is better/worse than Ifil or Considine (who I don't rate at all) is not the point.  We only have one fit central defender, so there's no question that we need Zander back asap.

So because he scored two goals against Celtic we must have him back, obviously we need him but at this current moment in time there is no need to rush him back and Dave, I never said that you said we lost the game 3-0, I just don't see why you singled the first half out when we all know that games are judged by the score at the final whistle.

We need any fit defender back asap, regardless of how other defenders have been doing.

 

Even to have Diamond on the bench would be a bonus, in the event of any injuries/cards/tactical changes etc.

Awful.

 

Will not read again. 1/5

Aberdeen FC’s Diamond out until Christmas

New injury blow for defender

ABERDEEN FC’S Zander Diamond’s foot injury looks set to keep him sidelined until Christmas.

 

Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee today confirmed it’s likely to be six weeks before the defender, who will have surgery tomorrow, is fit enough to resume training.

 

McGhee is resigned to the fact Diamond, who suffered the injury during Aberdeen FC’s home SPL defeat by Celtic on August 15, won’t be available for selection until the end of December.

 

McGhee said: “It could be nearer to Christmas before Zander is fully match fit.â€

Brilliant!!! let the next round of poor predictable fishing and poor predictable troll feeding commence

 

He probably injured it fucking about on that raft thing in Austria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's quite obvious Zander doesn't like McGhee and this injury is a convenient excuse to keep him free from injury till January, when he can sign for Celtic for £2 million (which will actully be 50p and threee bottles of bubble bath, with the rest based on appearances).

 

Personally I blame the fat orange buffon and Willie's failed chip shop business.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just thought better put a smilie 

We better get used to Richard being in the rear for the near future then.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem for you should it?
