I think that’s harsh. Glass was a strange hire, but I understand Goodwin and Robson, even warnock. Thelin was a successful manager with European experience, I understood that too. It just hasn’t worked out. It’s not like we overlooked a ton of perfect candidates. It’s a very dry well and you need luck.

Alison Moorer - Bring me all your loving

This season in the league we have scored 20 goals in 19 games, the joint third lowest tally, which is truly abysmal! We also have conceded 23 goals in those 19 games which puts us in 6th spot for that stat. We are horrendous to watch, there doesn't appear to be any patterns of play, we're slow, ponderous, boring and so far removed from an "exciting" brand of football it's unreal. Some more stats that showcase the reality of what AFC supporters have to endure is that from the 19 league games played this season we have only scored 7 goals in the first half. Those 7 goals came in 4 matches so in 15 out of the 19 league games we haven't scored in the first half, this hardly indicates we are a team that presses early on to get an early goal and overwhelm the opposition. It's also 4 league games from 19 played in which we have managed to score more than 1 goal (Killie, St Mirren, Dundee X2) and in only one game we have managed to come back from a losing margin to win the game (Killie 2-1) and one game where we got a draw from a losing position (St Mirren 3-3) so in 11 games where we have conceded first we have only managed to pick up 4 points. In total we have managed to find the net in 12 out of 19 league games which again underlines just how hopeless we have been up front and we have conceded in 13 of those 19 games so our defence isn't really any better. I don't think it's a strong stretch of the imagination to look at our performances, points accrued, goals scored & conceded since Jimmy came in and foresee more of the same with the added bonus of the tombola getting rolled out on an almost game by game basis. We all wanted Jimmy to be the ONE but in reality he is just another ONE in the long list of ONES that have massively failed. Thanks for the Scottish Cup Jimmy but this is a results, and to a lesser extent performances, based business and with the exception of May 25 you have been no better than Glass, Robson, Goodwin etc.

Morcambe and Wise - Bring me Sunshine.

And heaping it on with The Proclaimers -Sunshine on Leith

Rubbing salt into the wound here, but.. Dean Owens - Man from Leith

never

He wasn't rejected as such, more that Barry Robson went on such a good run of results the club opted to give it to him full-time. There's an argument that the club should have been looking at the bigger picture and should have appointed Thelin regardless. However, that's a tough argument to make when football fans generally look at results. Example - Wilfried Nancy's current results at Celtic compared to the interim Martin O'Neill.

It sure is , as Alien disclosure is on the way from el presidente helped by Spielberg's latest film

Wasn't Thelin rejected previously . I wonder why. I could be wrong, but that's what I read somewhere. The poor bloke doesn't want to be here & not for want of trying , can not escape the situation. Since chairman Milne , the club have consistently placed impostors in various posts they shouldn't be, with obscene wages to boot , which is a real disgrace - especially now since they are wasting DNA money & making a fool of those contributors , who have nothing to show for owning part of the club - so to speak.

I don't criticise him at all for appointing Thelin. It's the sort of appointment the club should be trying to make; a manager whose stock was on the rise and was held in high regard. And it delivered a Scottish Cup and £6m from Europe, so in terms of success it's still above most Aberdeen managerial appointments over the past 30 years. Probably only McInnes ranks above him in that time - he's the only* Aberdeen manager since Smith/Scott to have had consistently good seasons, and even then it finished on a sour note. *Some might say Calderwood too but that's a debate in itself. There's an argument the structure hasn't been in place properly for Thelin, the sporting director is only just in the door for example, and there's been failures at the club that aren't all on Thelin. But likewise, they're not all on Cormack, and there's a few at the club who like to hide away at times like these.

Well, didn’t see the game or hear it as had other stuff on last night. Genuinely wasn’t fussed about missing it as I expected us to get fuck all and frankly most of my enthusiasm has been sucked out of me by the constant pish we get served up - and based on the comments here that went pretty much as I expected then. Won’t be bothering with the “highlights” either. This is just not a good team (or manager I’m afraid). Big January coming up, but it will take some effort to sort the issues we have as they are all over the pitch in pretty much every position. So we’ll struggle on with Thelin until the end of the season with little discernible improvement, a distinct possibility of a bottom 6 finish, and the clamour for a change of manager continuing to grow. What a time to be alive…

Why cant they win a cup after this seasons results? It would be good if Askou had a longer track record as a manager,....he's been a year here,18 months there,....all mostly as an assistant. Weve all seen plenty managers setting the heather on fire,then fizzling out a year later. just saying,looks promising though....

Seconded

Not with our players he wouldn't. McInnes isn't exactly a purist, and..... you might have a point.

Nah it’s non football so in the right place. Despite my own pessimism 9ers are defying the injuries and now go into this weekends game with possibility of being number 1 seed. With the Super Bowl in Santa Clara gives them chance of playing run of home games all the way. As it is I don’t think 9ers will make it all the way as defence just has too many injuries and gives up too many points. As someone once said defence wins Championships. NFC West is wildly strong this season Rams are third on 11-5 record which would have them top of every other division in the NFC.

Hunbos getting their business in January started early.

Did you have to start this already as was hoping for a couple of days of not thinking about having to think about watching this steaming pile of shite.

Last of the group games today. First up are Group E at 4pm Equatorial Guinea v Algeria Sudan v Burkina Faso Algeria have won the group already as they have head to head over Sudan and Burkina Faso. Sudan and Burkina Faso are already through as they have head to head on Equatorial Guinea so just final placings of 2nd or 3rd to sort. 7pm games are last in Group F Gabon v Ivory Coast Mozambique v Cameroon Only final placings to be decided in this group as Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Mozambique are all already through. If Ivory Coast need a win and keep goal difference advantage over Cameroon to win the Group. Cameroon need to either win by 1 more goal than Ivory Coast or hope Ivory Coast don’t win to win the group. Mozambique need to beat Cameroon and hope Gabon get at least a draw again Ivory Coast for them to win the group.

I don't think Jimmy is going anywhere any time soon either pal. As mentioned Cormack's ego will never allow him to admit that is five fkn appointments on the trot that he totally got wrong and made a complete arse of. Yip we have to hope the Thelin can turn this around and do it pretty fkn quickly, but sadly we have been saying the same thing for a long time now. OK we have the January window and maybe there we can create some hope within the fanbase, but we need to do our business right now not towards the end of the window (as usual aberdeen pesh) fk me Hearts have announced two new arrivals already and the windee is not even officially open yet with the first one of that arrivals (Altena) looking like he will be registered to play this weekend. What the fk is wrong with us? OK I will answer that question as well. Dave fkn Cormack what is wrong with us, but sadly we are stuck with him and his prawcess and this three year project malarkey which even a blind man can see is nae fkn working Dave. Oh the joys of being a dandy Happy New Year pal

I went to the game up here against them, thinking an easy three points for us, but was Impressed with them and how they played. This surely has to be a must win game for us, as in managers job at least starts to be questioned, if we don't win, coupled with another abject performance.
