Everyone can see what you’re trying to do. It’s just that you’re not very good at it. I can give you some tips if you fancy? 

I get that you're trying to be the big 'gatekeeper' with your childish and deliberately provocative digs but it's genuinely boring and it could even be said your trolling me at best or cyber-bullying at worst. Your parents should maybe have spent more time telling you to share your toys. 

I won't reply to anymore of your comments but feel free to crack on with your blatant attempt to raise a posse with the ultimate goal of getting me banned for the heinous crimes of a) holding opposing views to your own and presumably b) posting too often. Shoot me now.

Problem you have is I wasn't born yesterday and I can see right through people like you.

Why? Genuinely. I don't get it.

Neither are part of the Aberdeen family anymore. 

Willie Miller,who stayed with us his whole career,despite better offers,who turned his back on Glasgow because of the sectarian shite…”ah hated it”,and whose chosen to still stay up here after these years..”love the City,love the people”.

 Why’s he not part of the Aberdeen family you spangle?

It’s been done a million times and been done much better. Just now, you’re giving off a kind of Dick Emery aren’t I awful vibe every time you post. I take it that’s not the look you’re going for?

  What does he still have to do to be accepted you spangle?

I really don't know how I can make this any clearer. I do not worship other human beings. Full stop. 

Great player. Immense gratitude for everything he did for the club and I understand totally why some people who view life differently to myself call him "God" and hold him in great deference. I'm not saying they shouldn't not for one minute. 

Regarding Ferguson. I was speaking to someone on the street this morning about the upcoming matches this week and he mentioned something I've never really thought of before but there's nothing at Pittodrie l commemorating his time at the club. He obviously has the statue now but that's it. Nothing prior to taut at all. Not even a plague. He found it staggering and I guess he has a point given the depth of feeling so many Aberdeen fans have for him.

That's just a fever dream.

Well that's one potential bullet dodged.

Don’t do that to me. 10 seconds of blind panic until I saw it was Torquay he had joined.

Duncan Shearer weighs in concerning the gafferage issue:

[swaddon]

"Managerial target Eirik Horneland would bring "modern" football to Aberdeen if the Pittodrie board land the Norwegian, says the club's former striker Arild Stavrum. "

So no dribbling or hacking for us if he gets the gig.

He'd do well to stick to shinty.

Arild always fancied himself as a bit of a deep thinker and intellectual - even if he could never get his head round the offside rule - but “modern football”?

Fit the flocks that supposed to mean, and how in anyway would it differ from fit Thelin was supposed to bring…

It's pretty clear from that piece that Big Dunc isn't really in tune with how clubs operate these days. The notion that a "manager" decides on player contracts went out the window as soon as - if not actually long before - Pfannensteil came in and, much as I hate it, the modern trend seems to be that managers won't take jobs mid season unless absolutely forced to. And we're not really a club that's in a position to force anyone decent to do anything.

A twist? A bit of spin ahead of it being announced the Horneland isn't coming? A load of shite just to fill a vacuum?

I'm going with the last of your three options.

Anthony Joseph my arse.

EE reporting that Sandro Schwartz is in Aberdeen for talks and will be at Pittodrie tomorrow night.

If we get him in quick enough, he should have enough time to get sacked before Horneland is available I suppose.

[Bukta Bertie]

A Schwartzer as a manager. That won't go down well with the Stop The Boats element amongst the Dons support. 

Not convinced this is going to happen. Or perhaps I'm just hoping it won't. Not impressed.

Got no idea who this guy is, or his history, but an ex MLS manager gives me the fear, given how bad Septic got stung going down that route with Nancy.

He doesn’t appear to be able to hold a managerial job down for more than 2 years.

So he'll fit right in with us then.

 

[Bukta Bertie]

I'll be despondent if we do end up with that boy instead of Horneland. 

It's all going to be very embarrassing if it does transpire.

Loss of face job.

His record appears to be honking apart from one blip.

Darren Mowbray has returned as head of recruitment. 

[blinlemon]

Cormack on Red TV at 7pm. Michael Grant (top Red) interview with Cormack trailed earlier today, so I imagine they’re one and the same.

Thelins pal gone I see.

[Bukta Bertie]

I'm unsure from that interview if that's what it was.

Are we waiting for Horneland's health issue to be resolved or are we going for the more readily available ex-pornstar Sandro Schwanz?
