We've aimed for better before and ended up with Sokler, Yengi, Ambrose, JET and all sorts. Olusanya isn't the greatest footballer in the world but we know what we'll get from him and he's undeniably effective. As long as we get another striker in to backup Nisbet - or Bavidge gets a chance, which seems overly-hopeful - then Olusanya is an absolute no brainer of a signing.

Lest we forget.

Still the last team to beat Real in Euro final, incredible. Happy Gothenburg abdy and this thread always reminds me of too early departed Donsdaft. He was.

Brother Beyond - Drive On

Less caps for Scotland than Ryan Fraser. I'd put him at that level. A really good player, but the iconicity comes from his early death. Not even close to someone like Strachan for example. I guess it's fair enough to call him an icon though. Played his entire career in Scotland and was successful at Motherwell too. If James Forrest pops his clogs in a couple of years, he'll get a 30 minute slot too.

I didn't think so either. Thought I might have missed something.

In true Gothenburg Day fashion, I got soaked in the pishing rain when I was out earlier.

At the time we appointed him I was a member of the same gym as Graeme 'Grassa' Bennett, former player and then Chief Exec at ICT. He said they were 100% honest with AFC about Patterson. Milne and Wyness thought they were exaggerating to put Aberdeen off him. A couple of weeks before 'Dundee-gate' Grassa said to me 'Pele's hitting it hard just now. I'm getting pissed up phone calls at all hours'.

Best day of the year guys. Have a good one

No

Wouldn't surprise me if they do one for Durrant at some point though. The world class player whose career that was ended by the worst tackle ever in world football. Sally McCoist and Souness greeting at the camera about what could have been. Still makes me angry the shit Simmie went through after that day. A nicer bloke you couldn't meet.

They could have done Simmy, to coincide with his book launch. I can't think why they wouldn't have...

Even now, when the games actually matter, you start seeing a bit more edge and intensity again. Not quite 90s level where teams looked like they genuinely despised each other, but definitely closer. The Thunder look terrifyingly complete to me though. SGA gets criticism for the foul hunting but he controls the tempo ridiculously well and they defend harder than most modern teams. Agree on Wemby’s health being the big question. Talent-wise he could dominate the league for years, but that frame over an 82 game season plus playoffs is a lot. Jokic still feels like the most unstoppable player overall because he dictates everything without needing athleticism. Watching him dismantle defenses is ridiculous. Feels like he’s always three passes ahead of everyone else.

None at all. Etched in the memory of all daddies and which he is very much a part of. Thought they may have had the launch today too.

Only the five episodes available to me yesterday, which I did think strange. The hun or Tim thing doesn't bother me IF I think they were decent players. The Wifey fitba I have no interest in. Lots of players they could have picked from and we get that line up. Poor choices.

As I said, he played well yesterday and he had a big say in the game. However, he's a very poor version of Pape (on the basis that he was the last guy who filled this role for us), who I actually liked. He was actually chaotic but had some idea of how to control a ball, shoot and pass. Neither of those things can be said of Olusanya. We should be aiming for better in the summer.

Can't remember the club - it may be St Johnstone - but apparently only 70% of their season ticket holders turn up v the Old Firm.

3-1 now. Lovely goal.

Even with one side of ground shut atmosphere is brilliant. Corinthians just gone 2-1 up.

I think only folk who didn’t know about his drinking were Aberdeen board.

Wild end to first half. São Paulo equalised dropping Corinthians into relegation zone. São Paulo players bar one (come back to him) celebrate in front of Corinthians fans who respond with an avalanche of stuff thrown from stands including vapes lighters and sun glasses. One of São Paulo players gets hit in the hand so clearly goes down clutching his head. This starts off a mass brawl for which ref eventually issues 4 yellow cards. He is then called over to VAR monitor not to review the mass brawl but for the player who ran off on his own to celebrate as when he ran towards the Corinthians bench he was making a wankers gesture which is quite an offensive gesture in South America. After another long review no red card. Clock was showing over 60 minutes when first half finished. Now second half delayed as half São Paulo’s supply of bog roll has been lobbed on to the pitch. Big part of Corinthians ground already closed due to crowd issues and guessing after tonight they will get further restrictions applied.

Boston losing was a surprise, but Tatum was injured again and missed games. the spurs and thunder are a step or more ahead of everyone. Think the spurs have a higher upside and will be the best team in the nba soon enough, but not this year. Thunder are defending champions for a reason, plus I’m not sure wemby can stay healthy for an nba western finals series, 7 games in a short period of time is demanding. Detroit are a gritty team, I see them coming out of the east. Cade Cunningham is a stud, hard to beat his team over 7 games. Although saying that, the magic should have beaten them! Whoever wins the west wins the whole thing.

Aye, even I knew the rumours from his time at Huntly. Even without the internet.

I mind some of the ICT nights out when Patterson was their manager. Shearer had to bide sober to minder him. Him being Aberdeen manager is the most spectacular failure of due diligence in the history of due diligence.
