Bit expensive just to replace MacKenzie on the bench behind Shinnie IMO. I reckon he'll head down south, but I think he's about our level and would do a lot worse than signing for us. It would be a question of wages though, he could probably still command a decent salary in the championship and be a bit-part player in the hoofer league.

Could do a lot worse than Greg Taylor on a free to replace McKenzie at left back.

Adolescence is on the list to watch, but just need to be in the right head space for it from what i've heard. So a light hearted show we've started is, The Residence on Netflix, a who dunnit at the white-house. Great cast and very funny.

Like I say, I wouldn't criticise anyone for not going, and the Dons twitter accounts losing the plot over fellow fans choosing not to go are pathetic. Any other country would think 11,000 tickets sold three weeks before the game was an effort worth praising. Hearts have sold out, great. But as someone else put it, if the national stadium was in Peterhead, the Edinburgh and Glasgow clubs wouldn't be so keen to use semi-final ticket sales as some sort of barometer. I was actually at Hampden for both Hearts' semi-final and final in 2012. They had 12,000 for the Scottish Cup semi with Celtic (Aberdeen actually outsold them the day before) and the Celtic end was also far from sold out. Attendance was 36,000, a good 16,000 short of capacity. But I would have argued as loud as anyone else for them to get a 50/50 split for the final no matter who they were playing, so it's sad to see fans (and it's not just Hearts, Hibs seem to be piping up too) about Aberdeen being given a reduced allocation if they reach the final. Some folk are too ignorant to see if the old firm & SFA are allowed - with the support of others - to fuck Aberdeen over, they will do the same to the rest.

Wouldn't happen as we'd be 3 up by the time the sniper's wet dream got anywhere near enough to take out Knoester. And also we'd had been given the free kick so could launch it straight into touch to allow Mats back on.

Problem with Okkels is that he’s very one-footed. Really relies on the LB supporting him in attack if he can’t get it on to his right foot.

I’ll add this re Clarkson, thought he did a good job driving forward, didn’t just settle for square balls and worldie long passes. Really did drop to pick up the ball as sivert does, but was also an excellent attacking threat, got his goal and involved in the third. Think Clarkson and palaversa may be our best central midfield combo. okkels is a little like Morris in a way, shows glimpses of good play but not nearly consistent enough. Morris has been more consistent of late but neither are the type of player you pay good money for. Just don’t see okkels being bought when there will be other out of contract options. Topi is young but I think it’s fair to say he gets involved in every game, need the same on the other side which okkels did yesterday to be fair. I’d like to see a left winger with more pace who can get down the line, that’s not okkels as far as we see.

That it's the Easter weekend doesn't help either. I know a few folks that really want to go but they have been told no because of family easter events.

I enjoyed that a lot though we REALLY need to be doing better with cross balls. All the plaudits have already been said so I won't parrot them but I will say I agree that was Okkels best game in red. His assist for Dorrington was simple enough but still a bit under rated imo. I can't help but wonder what he would look like if he could get himself a goal. Anyway, regardless whether or not we keep him, with the split approaching and the semi on the horizon it's no bad time for him to start putting in a more noteworthy contribution so here's hoping this isn't a plateau.

Not so sure about that last sentence, from his first Interview I've felt Nisbet genuinely has some affection for the Dons and I think that will have grown. I also think he is very career focused now, he was talking in his last RTV interview about how much better he is looking after himself, and playing for Aberdeen got him back in the Scotland squad. I think he will want to stay unless a better career opportunity (and I've no idea what that looks like btw but I know it ain't Millwall) comes up not a salary 2bh. If we could get him for 750 k that would be a bargain I would say. He's only just turned 28 and we could easily get 4 good seasons out of him..... probably more given he's never been a player that has relied on pace.

Consider it done. Would you like Barry Ferguson to be sent to the stands too? In the style of Mark McGhee? What about Hertz losing the previous day, consigning them to the bottom six?

Positively salivating at the prospect of that Please make it happen

Mats can stop being a total fanny. If it's not an assault worthy of a booking, then get up and get on with it. Kids in my day would play with broken legs. On shattered glass.

I think it means that they can mathematically lose the league at Pittodrie now though.

That's fine if VAR says he's faking it. Otherwise, Lawrence Shankland takes out Mats Knoester. Ref orders Knoester off the pitch. While Aberdeen are down to 10 men, Elton Kabangu scores, and your rule just lost us the semi-final.

Dear Alex, I've visited your country twice with my weans (young children) in recent times and thoroughly enjoyed being in such a lovely country. Anyway, enough flattery as I'm sure being an administrator you are immune to such obvious underhand subterfuse, so I'll get right to the point...some players in the modern game are pretending to be hurt and trying to stop the flow of the match. I know, it beggars belief, but there you go. So, here's a suggestion, make any player who has been shot by a sniper in the stands/just falls down for no reason, go off the field until the next a stoppage in play...if your team had to play for 3/4 minutes (10 or 12 if Spain were involved!) with 10 men don't you think that players would think twice about faking injuries?

Just watched highlights of that. Neither team seemed capable of defending. Could easily have finished 5-5.

Aye, that'd actually be a good addition. Write to the lads at uefa

Whoever the cunt commentating on our game for the Glasgow Broadcasting Company aka BBC is almost incandescent that Gueye didn't see a straight red. No mention surprisingly (not) of the Motherwell numerous attempts to get Pape sent off

Yes I agree but, if say their CB goes down holding his head and the ref. stops the game, physio comes on, gives him a bit of TLC and confirms that he's good to go on but the ref. says he has to go off until the next time the ball is out of play. Bet many CBs wouldn't be quite so "sensitive" to challenges in the air.

There's a thing creeping into the game now where a player will now go down holding his head, because if it is a potential head injury the referee has to stop the game. Helps time waste and stop another team's attack.

It would be good if any player went down for any reason and the ref. stops the game, 'cos it might be serious (game against Hearts away when their player went for the ball and pulled up immediately and the ref. blew for a stoppage because it was obvious he'd torn his hamstring...think the ref was Clancy!) ...the player has to go off to the sideline and can't return until the ball has next gone out of play

Can't believe the Hun bastards got out of jail at Dens Park earlier. Was hoping for a Dundee win, not only because I hate the Hun cunts but a Dundee win would have put Killie in the play off position

Nae use mate Been to both of them before Would rather a trip to Liechtenstein or Malta for a European qualifier

Aye, that sounds right. They did have a guy go off for about half a second. He was waved straight on as the ref was dropping it. Palaversa I think went to the dugout briefly when he was off, as we weren't sure if he was coming back on. I didn't pay attention to the other ones they had, as there was clearly fuck all wrong with any of their players.
