April 6, 201016 yr comment_79742 http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/Article.aspx/1678266 ITALIAN defender Davide Grassi today admitted he fears his own goal against Kilmarnock could kill his Aberdeen FC career. Grassi’s blunder helped Killie to a 2-0 win, which condemned Aberdeen FC to a bottom six finish for the first time since 2004. The full-back, who is out of contract in the summer, hopes that will not derail his hopes of a new deal. He said: “I apologise to the Aberdeen FC fans for that own goal, because I know it was costly.†http://www.afc.co.uk/javaImages/d/fe/0,,10284~8715789,00.jpg[/img] Taxi for Grassi! Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_79743 It would be unfair to bin any player for one mistake I suppose. Much fairer to bin him for being rotten fairly consistently. Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_79745 Dont blame him for the own goal at all, he didna ken the striker was offside. To be fair to the boy he produced two great last gasp tackles in the box. Unfortunately for him the rest of the game he was shocking, including getting in Zanders road when he had a clear shot on goal!! Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_79746 IMO the goal should have been disallowed but its irrelevant, he's fkn pish. Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_79747 He should be apologising for the second goal, where he neglected to mark the only Killie player within a 40 yard radius of our goal. Easy slip up to make I suppose, considering the guy was 6 feet 3 and wearing a blue and white striped shirt....how are you supposed to spot him ? Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_79756 He's worse than Dave Bus. He should try junior football, he might just find his level. Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_79759 He's worse than Dave Bus. He should try junior football, he might just find his level. I think he'd be out his depth at Junior level. Amateur, then fair enough, but Junior would suggest someone would still be willing to pay for his services. Report
April 6, 201016 yr comment_79761 What I don't understand is what made MM think he was anywhere near good enough for the SPL. From his first game onwards he just looked panicked and confused. We must have some real eejits scouting for us. Report
April 7, 201016 yr comment_79784 Its long been obvious to us all that he is out of his depth but what do we know. There are other players who have outstayed their welcome but still remain at the club so i fully expect him to get a new deal... Report
April 7, 201016 yr comment_79791 Since the main requirement of anybody to play for Aberdeen these days is to be cheap, I'd imagine Grassi is a shoe-in for a new contract. Report
April 8, 201016 yr comment_79839 Another fuck up from Grassi last night leading to the opening Hun's goal. Actually thought in the second half he played better and showed glimpses that he might just be able to tackle or pass a ball at times Report
April 8, 201016 yr comment_79857 He was piss poor last night along with quite a few others. The only positive from his performance was he crunched that dirty bastard McCulloch. Report
April 8, 201016 yr Author comment_79870 http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/Article.aspx/1680218 Aberdeen FC defender to be offered new contract McGhee ready to hand Grassi new deal By Charlie Allan Published: 08/04/2010 DEFENDER: Aberdeen FC's Davide Grassi. More Pictures ITALIAN defender Davide Grassi was today told he will definitely be offered a new contract by Aberdeen FC. Left-back Grassi, who is due to become a free agent in the summer, put in a great shift as a stand-in midfielder as Aberdeen FC lost 3-1 to Rangers at Ibrox in the SPL. Dons boss Mark McGhee eased Grassi’s fears about being part of his summer cull by assuring the defender he will be offered the chance to stay at Pittodrie. If this is true, McGhee and WM's sanity have to be questioned Report
April 8, 201016 yr comment_79882 I just hope its shitty EE journalism. Don't have RedTv any longer, but does Dingus not confirm offer of contract extension to Grassi in last night's post match interview Report

April 8, 201016 yr comment_79885 I would be happy to keep him. He shows glimpses of being a decent player and hopefully next year he comes on a bit Report
April 9, 201016 yr comment_79909 He is Italian, he must be good. 'Parma Starlet' - or something along those lines. He looks the part anyway. Report
April 9, 201016 yr comment_79910 If he puts in a shift like he did against Rangers more often then he would be worth a deal. Report
April 9, 201016 yr Author comment_79912 If he puts in a shift like he did against Rangers more often then he would be worth a deal. Its just a pity he gave the ball away for the first hun goal eh.... Report
April 9, 201016 yr comment_79913 New contract for making pizza in the pie shack? Maybe there's a footballer inside there somewhere and maybe McGhoo has someone in mind to sign in the summer to get the best out Grassi. Hopefully he's on peanuts too so maybe worth keeping as a squad player? Come on - AFC have posted up some highlights vids! (One goal and the other highlight was him getting sent off apparently ) http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/davide-grassi-aberdeen_2212045_48965 I'm trying to look for positives ffs, I mean, he definitely shows signs he could be a quality footballer - he's got long hair and an Alice band! Or maybe McGhoo has been smoking too much Grassi... geddit... Grassi... smoking Grassi... geddit? Mr Magoo will be responsible for signing his own replacement? In Magoo we trust! Report
April 9, 201016 yr comment_79922 Its just a pity he gave the ball away for the first hun goal eh.... I was very drunk so I may be wrong here but I'm pretty sure Michael Paton was more culpable at the 1st Hun goal than Grassi. Report
