Mackie To Captain Dons On Saturday

Fucking hell, what a surprise ::)

 

Whilst not directly wishing The Dazzler any harm, there is no room for sentiment in this game.

Victory over St Mirren is worth £80k to us as the difference in prize money between 8th and 9th.

Personally speaking would have had him benched and give him the last few minutes if we were winning.

 

After being released by Aberdeen FC, Mackie looks to the future

Mackie is set to call time on 14 years at Pittodrie when he leads Aberdeen FC out as skipper against St Mirren on Saturday.

 

A summer of uncertainty awaits the 30-year-old who said: “There has been nothing yet as far as other clubs are concerned, although my agent has his ear to the ground.”

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but heard them mention on the radio earlier that if we don't score today this is the lowest scoring league campaign since 1917.

 

Awesome.

 

Awesome.

 

Don't we play more league games per season now then we did in 1917 too?

Forget to mention, this question is for you Al  ;)

Was there a league season as such in 1917, there was a war on you know?

Good luck for your future. Unbeaten as captain, maybe he will get that contract after all.

Guess the result today typified our season, bland and goalless.

Listening to Carig Broon at FT - he is clearly in cloud cuckoo land. Apparently we didnt deserve to finish in the bottom 6 this season.......

 

In other season we could have been relegated winning only 9 games and scoring less goals than the rest of the teams.

I'm amazed they got over 10,000 at that game.

 

9th , three consecutive seasons......................  I guess we've found our level then  :-\

Easy one that, in 1917 along with Dundee and Raith Rovers we dropped out of competitive football owing to the small matter of WW1

Strangely fitting that dazzler signed off his career as captain in a game with no goals.

And missing a couple of sitters.

 

Today also highlighted Craig Brown's lack of intelligence. Considine was 1 booking away from receiving a 2 match suspension, which he picked up and will now miss the first 2 games of next season. Why play him? I can see the comments next August already. After 2 poor defensive displays we'll have "We've not been able to play our first choice defence yet" and "Andy is back next week, he'll be like a new signing".

 

The bench was filled with shite. Guys like Clark, Mcardle, Mawene when kids like Smith and McManus should have been given a chance in this match.

 

And lastly, why not sub off Mackie? Everyone there expected to see Mackie subbed off, to give him his reception and close the door on that chapter. Instead we were left with a rather awkward applause at the end with most folk having left.

Failed to score in 18 of our 38 league games,

 

Must be a record for us of some sort.

Darren Mackie struggling to find another club after leaving Aberdeen FC

FORMER Aberdeen FC player Darren Mackie today admitted he may be forced to move abroad to ensure he can stay in football.

 

Striker Darren confirmed he hasn’t had a single offer from another Scottish club since being released by Aberdeen FC at the end of last month.

 

“My wife and I have already spoken about the possibility of having to go abroad,” he said.

Can't believe there isn't any interest in Darren from other Scottish Clubs. Would have thought Ross County or Dundee would have been possibilities.

He could do a turn for rangers in division 3.  ;)

He'll be Pa Brown's "big new signing"
