Thank goodness, as a top red, I got in early.

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…

What a farce. Derisory sums of money. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeen-aberdeenshire/6968102/aberdeen-beach-stadium-budget-preview/

He'd do well to stick to shinty.

Sitting here watching the GB News. I know I know. It's a case of know thine enemy. They're so hawkish it's just being mental. Where do they find these nutters.

Jews making the most of it. Licking their lips at the chance to give Lebanon the Gaza treatment. The Palestinians who had been so incredibly welcoming towards the Jews fleeing Europe at the end of WW2. More fool them. There's clearly a good reason why the Jews have been a persecuted people throughout the ages. I just wonder if they ever stop to ponder of perhaps it's themselves that are the problem and not everyone else.

I’m not sure they have one to be honest. I think they’re in full on survival mode, just trying to ride it out. Russia & Isreal have the leverage against the US, both the politicians and their backers. It’ll end when they say it does and neither Putin or Netanyahu have any real motivation to stop. This is their window Trump will just play the appeals game till he dies but the downfall of all his fluffers is going to be great

"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.

It's not the pentagon though, is it? Dick Cheney wasn't the pentagon, neither the rest of the vulture capitalists. The guys who actually make money from these things, and buy guys like Trump and the absolute weirdo Hegseth. What's their angle?

The truth is, you’ve thought about this more than the Pentagon

What's the latest vibe in the US @OrlandoDon? I'm assuming they're in full computer game mode in the media? Treating it like a sports event and giving you the run down on all the different types of planes and bombs being used? Any word on what the actual plan is? It's a strange one, I have to say. I'm struggling to find any angle at all that makes sense of the attack. I don't mean from Trump, who's clearly an imbecile, but those that control him. What are their motives? Venezuela was a very good strategic move from a US perspective, and almost seamless in its execution. Iran just seems like a massive error, to an unbelievable degree (in other words, I'm clearly missing something). Iraq was held up as a catastrophe and an error, but it wasn't. In terms of power in the region, it made complete sense. In terms of sustaining high oil prices, it made sense. In terms of transfer of government funds (the US taxpayer) to the wealthy in military, clean-up and oil contracts (in Iraq) it made sense. It was a win for so few people at the expense of American soldiers. Iran is totally different. The only similarity I can see is that oil prices will remain high. The US have gone full in on regime change, whilst in negotiations, so the Iranians aren't going to come back to the table. That means the strait of Hormuz being shut in for months if not years. The US can't defend that across the entire Iranian coast. They also can't indefinitely defend the Saudis oil refineries from drones etc (probably only for a couple of weeks). They can't defend Israel from the multiple attacks they'll sustain either, and they're infrastructure is exceptionally volatile due to location and the fact that they're a highly developed westernised country. From the perspective of war being a racket, it makes little sense either. This is an aerial bombardment and the defence is also aerial (missiles against drones). The US doesn't have the capacity to replace its (the US and Israel) defence systems as quickly as they run dry. They needed a much more drawn out affair in order to keep the money flowing. Power wise, it just leaves a mess, but with Israel and Saudi significantly weaker. I don't get it. Again, not Trump, but those behind him.

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

They aren’t giving us more

Waiting to here about extra tickets? Leaving it late if they are giving us more.

Have a great day and up the Dons.

Just going on what I have seen. In games against United and Hearts he was completely ineffective. Runs about a lot but didn’t affect either game. Thought he was okay against Dundee but nothing special. Those are only games I have seen him live in. I haven’t seen a player that I would spend a fee on. Aouchiche left Sunderland for Schalke on a free so the £1.5m fee is a bit of a red herring. He was playing well just before we returned him. Thought he looked a better player surrounded by poor players than Cameron has. In his 12 games Cameron has not been credited with a single assist and no goals. Aouchiche managed 3 goals surrounded by the same poor players. Anyway I think the discussions of Cameron joining are a mute point anyway as he turned us down only 12 months ago and made it clear when he came that this is all about playing his way into the Tribute Act team. If he was interested in coming he would have got an option to buy in the deal. There isn’t.

It’s very challenging to assess players in this current landscape. Said it on another thread, can’t remember where but we have a totally fluid first 11, no relationships being built anywhere on the park and our squad is increasingly made up of temp signings and loans. It’s really difficult for players to impress in those circumstances. Thought Cameron looked pretty good in his first few games, loads of energy and linked well with forwards. That seems to have drifted a little and he looks more busy than effective now. Only saw him in the flesh once and pitch at Tannadice wasn’t conducive to football so hard to judge. Agree with others that he needs to be in the right position with confident and capable players around him who know their roles. We have nothing close to that at present. Just a bunch of half decent players trying to find a winning formula without much of a plan or structure. Some confidence would do wonders for the team I suspect. I’d keep Cameron as we have to start building something, somehow.

It is worth arguing over. You're wrong. Very clearly.

We do need a strong right winger.

The fact that we even made a Wilfred Nancy Septic team look good last year, shows you what we are up against tomorrow night. I actually think we have looked better as a team recently, just lacking confidence all over the park and experience in certain areas. Be lovely to get something tomorrow night and derail their quest for the title

Cameron rejecting us for the huns is the difference here and football is very tribal. You know that though. It's easier to say that you would like us to sign him and leave it at that.

Question for Keir Starmer. Is there really a difference between a defensive attack and an offensive attack. Aren't they both attacks? .... and an extra question for Keir if I may. Could either of these attacks result in a goal being scored? A Mr Peter Leven from Aberdeen asked the last one.

George Benson - TURN your love around.

The ruination of modern football. International weekends. Absolutely detest them.
