I think the fans still see themselves as the anti old firm team in Scotland but the club itself doesn’t give a shit. The fans wouldn’t either if he scored 20 goals He’ll always be a snake but we’ve signed much worse

Alfie Stewart’s loan deal at Inverness extended.

Why didn’t it just fly away? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cgrdxnqqv2po?app-referrer=search

From the BBC Gossip Column, which quotes The National. Rangers have hit out at the "abhorrent" mocking of the Ibrox disaster by some Aberdeen fans on Sunday. No wonder we all hate them. For what it's worth, I can't remember hearing that one being sung during the game.

I expected better from you min Don't want that fucker anywhere near our club again.

Probably something to do with Lutz being in charge of the search, and no-one in the Scottish media knowing him well enough to get an exclusive Also, the whole "we're taking our time" thing, they appear pretty serious about that. Could be into February before we get a new boss.

Is it just me or is this manager search very low on press speculation compared to other occasions?

Don’t get me wrong, I think Miovski is a fucking snake but that’s a still a rung up from Goodwillie. The bar has been set and it’s incredibly low

They would also need to be paying his wages Actually fuck that, still wouldn't entertain it

Not a chance in hell that 1. Miovski would want to come back 2. Sevco would punt him for such a small amount, and most importantly 3. The vast majority of AFC supporters would welcome him back and I include myself in that. There is 1, only ONE team in world football that there is no coming back from and that's the team formerly known as Rangers. Any Aberdeen player moving to them, either directly from us or otherwise, deserves every bit of condemnation and abuse they receive and only a very select group will be allowed to step back into Pittodrie still regarded as legends/hero.

We have tactics, just shit ones. I'm never going to be able to bore the nuts off anyone about tactics, as that shit bores me to death. As stated in an earlier thread, I think the way we play is being is forced down on us from above. I expected Leven to stop the playing out from the back nonsense, but he seems to be setting up differently from when he took charge last time around. Lutz being beside him on the bench, is telling me that Leven is just carrying the can, but not calling the shots.

Nail Head Nicely hit

In order to get the ball to Nisbet, it’s vital that it starts with Mitov making a 3 yard sideways pass to a centre half on the 6 yard line. That way, he can give the ball to an under pressure full back who has to pass it back the way to the centre half. From here, the important part is to thread a pass straight up the middle to a midfielder who is either facing his own goal, or isn’t looking at all This is the way football MUST be played. Otherwise, what’s the point? The paying public need to be entertained

Tactics, mate, you can actually see tactics in that shambles of set up, can you share them with me please as I canna see fk all. I am with you on feeling sorry for Nisbet, we all know he can score he has proved that, not sure about Lazetic but for now the jury is maybe out. But fk me we need to start getting back to basics and feeding our strikers give them chances to take and law of averages alone says they will score now and again. I am 100% convinced, give Nisbet a regular run of games (something he has not had this season) and feed him with chances and he will score more than he misses. Fk sake Aberdeen it's not rocket science

I agree with you on Polvara. I've read a fair amount of shyte about how bad he was on Sunday and I thought he did fine enough. I also think he is getting a bit more physical, but that just isn't his game. The loon is a good technical player, maybe just not suited best to our league. Thankfully he manned up last May, when he stepped up and put away his penalty. The best thing the club could have done for him when he signed, was to ship him to Arbroath, or some other Championship team to introduce him to the realities of Scottish fitba. For me our tactics are our biggest issue and most of our players are being sent on to the pitch to fail. None more so than our strikers. I actually feel sorry for Lazetic and Nisbet.

Not all aspects of a player's game require strength in the tackle though. Clarkson is weak in the tackle for example. He's fairly decent defensively despite being a poor tackler because his positional sense is decent. He's very two footed (probably the most two footed player in the squad), and is technically decent. He's a vast upgrade on utility players like Dom Ball for example, who was poor, but still a worthwhile squad player who covered numerous positions in the course of a season. He's already better than several of our squad in their preferred roles, so I wouldn't be confident we could go out and get better. None of this is to say he's good, just that he's above average. If we accept that his weakness is physical strength, then that's no different to accepting that Shinnie's weakness is pace, and Devlin's is technical ability. We make up for it by signing players who compliment, whilst working with Polvara on strength conditioning and not being a fanny.

He probably was but it brought to mind a favourite saying of my late mother's "Let he without sin, cast the first stone" You may well be right about his movement on Sunday as I know I've been at games in person before and thought someone was ok during the game only to read those watching on tv panning them,

Think he is too weak for our league. Easily brushed off the ball and rarely wins a tackle. Would probably be best for both parties if Polvara moved on. MLS would be best move for him as not as physical as our league.

I assumed he was including himself in that? I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I thought he played well in the last two games. His movement was very good on Sunday, making space for others, probably not noticeable on the telly. He's an intelligent player, who quickly gets to grips with the position he's asked to play. He's not a world beater, but slightly above average and can play in numerous positions. We need a player like that in the squad. It means that you don't have to overload the squad with shite. On the assumption that you're always going to have injuries, he's a reasonably dependable all rounder that can cover, meaning that you can offer him twenty games a season comfortably and you don't need two players in every position. It's a case of better the devil you know, and we've seen how poor the signings have been, we'll definitely sign worse.

I used to think that there was a player in Polvara that just needed nurtured and a bit of consistent game time. Well he's had the regular game time and frankly has regressed in my opinion Not worthy of spunking a wage upon by renewing his contract. If Hibs want him, then go ahead and make an offer please. Oh and as aside, not impressed with his comments regarding the squad bucking up their ideas. Accurate as they may be he should start by having a close look at himself
