Its a mentality thing. Like the arse cheeks (but at a lower expectation level) we need a manager and especially players who can handle & deliver on the expectations of the fans for a club this size. As I said elsewhere the expectations are not unrealistic, but they are higher than most players and managers coming here will have ever been used to. I would like to be able to say that this expectation level applies to the club too, and while they talk about it in their corporate wank speak stuff, its obvious that the reality is those standards and expectations have fallen so far I struggle to include the club these days. Generally, when either arse cheek fails, it’s always largely because they’ve failed to sign enough players with the right mentality. We’re the same at our level and frankly, with some very brief periods of exception (McInnes first 4 years / a bit of Calderwood maybe), we’ve been absolutely shite at it for over 30 years now…

Yep, that BBC interview was a dead man talking in a way that shows he knows he’s a dead man walking. Very similar vibes to Thelin near the end. It’s inevitable, only question now is how long do the incompetents running the club let it drag it out? Well Mr Bevington, over to you…

I will, at some point, start proofreading my posts before hitting reply - since the sub-editors around here are lacking. 😙 "Turns into prime Fergie". Two gold stars to anyone who worked it out.

Vasco de Gama v Flamengo on Premier Sports just now. Flamengo just gone 0-1 up after 10 minutes.

Condolences to Anthony and the rest of the family

I forecast I will be in pub and on my third pint of Guinness before you've even left the stadium, but then I am a negative miserable bastard when all is said and done 😂

We beat a better team than Rangers about 18 months ago when we won the Scottish Cup. And we weren't exactly making the world shake then either. And our manager is runs into prime Fergie in this competition. Bring them on.

I'm going though expect I'll probably have left the stadium before 70 minutes

was actually playing snes mariocart not so long ago on snes. Bloody hard but i could kinda remember some of the courses which blew my mind. Mariokart 64 was the one I played the most and had some of my best times gaming with pals with

I know everyone on the planet thinks they were the best at Super Mario Kart on the SNES but i genuinely was 😎 All 5 of my times on Mushroom Circuit 1 beat the official World Record These days I don’t play anything at all. Snapped my flexor tendon on my left hand on account of playing Super Mario Kart. It’s never been the same since I was also unbeatable at FIFA98 Road to the World Cup and could smash folk at Tekken without throwing punches I was shite at most other ones

The only glimmer of hope I’ve got going into this game, is that we’re going up against the biggest shite bag in world football

Everton v Newcastle been a decent watch so far. Everton 2-0 up at half time..

Don’t you think that is just oversimplifying the issue. We see managers and players going elsewhere and doing fine. But when they come up to Pittodrie they seem incapable of performing.

Just came on to post that Sad news, really liked him as an actor 😞

It's not much fun thinking about AFC at the moment so does anyone here play computer games at all? It would appear we don't have a thread for this already... which seems a little unusual given the prominence of video games in our culture these days. I have consoles but most recent is a ps4 pro. These days I'm pretty much exclusively master race and I'm just fine with that. Got back into playing football manager a few years ago (it was actually very helpful in getting used to being in the house by myself the first week after my dog died believe it or not, it was literally the only thing that could take my mind of it) which inspires this post. If it interests you you can get fm27 free to play until the third of November and the streamers that got early access have been singing it praises after a disastrous few years for sports interactive. I like plenty of other gaming genres too. 007 first light was recently completed, thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommended for example. Other than football games my favourite genre is probably point and click adventure games going back to the early Amiga days. Not really a big fps guy though there are exceptions, loved the medal of honour games back in the day. First ever game played: Chuckie Egg circa 1985 on the acorn electron First game that blew my mind because it was actually a computer game: Another World on the Amiga First football game: Emlyn Hughes international soccer on the speccy I think Favourite Game series: Monkey Island Last game to really get under my skin that wasn't football related: Fallout New-Vegas GTA 6 is on a lot of lips right now and understandably so. I hear it will probably be at least spring for a pc release so I won't be playing it for a while and I'm not the hugest fan anyway. Can understand the hype and excitement though.

Sorry @TheDonbytheDee but I could have given everything I own that that was the response my comment would illicit, but you're wrong mate, I was at my best mate's eighteen birthday piss up 😉

Why, were you working? 😄

And before @Jute or @Kowalski say it, No I wasn't there

On this day 60 years ago, Ernie Winchester became the first ever league substitute for Aberdeen.

I have no doubt that Dave Cormack is a Dons fan through and through, but running a football club and running whatever business it was that made him rich are two different things. And he is not very good at running a fitba club.

The strategy is get in a team and manager capable of winning games. Dave is not capable of fulfilling that strategy.
