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.

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.

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.

Negativity just p!sh!n out of you min

I'm going with the last of your three options. Anthony Joseph my arse.

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 am of the belief unless we lift the Cup it'll be a struggle to make it into double figures for next season.

Season tickets up for sale and prices up too. Don't get hurt in the rush. https://www.afc.co.uk/2026/03/03/2026-27-season-tickets-on-sale-now/

There's going to be total carnage. I'm too old for all that now. Red Army will be pished and ecstatic. Good combo.

There are still plenty of tickets available in the area that went on sale to ‘home’ fans at 10am yesterday. I’m not too sure how easy it is to get them if you don’t have a buying history at East End as my sons are Pars fans and I live in Dunfermline. I would imagine that there will be a few Dandies in the main stand on Saturday evening.

Hard to picture it now because of all the demolition that's gone on in the process of ruining George Street but it was roughly where the backstairs into the Bon Accord Centre is now. It was just up Loch Street beside the Post Office.

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.

Muscular Arms. One of the gayest pub names on record surely. Cracking thread this. I struggle to remember the names of all the pubs because many changed their names, often several times in the last fifty odd years.

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.

Duncan Shearer weighs in concerning the gafferage issue: https://archive.ph/wPKen

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.
