If we bought him, he publicly apologised, took out a two page spread in the P&J outlining all the different ways Huns are pricks, then did a penitent walk of shame from Union St to Pittodrie, I’d consider it Other than that, the Rat can go take a right good fuck to himself

He's our diving bastard, thanks.

You complete disgrace. It’s not a World Cup if you wake up with anything other than a crippling headache that can only be cured by more booze. Have a word.

Just getting my suitcase packed just now. We leave for London tomorrow afternoon then onto Boston Wednesday morning. Feel remarkably calm about it at the moment given how long I've waited for this opportunity but I bet I don't sleep too well tonight or tomorrow.

There were (some) good times and (many) bad times under Milne's stewardship. He'd probably argue that is the case for most clubs and most chairmen but even if you were minded to even listen to that argument for a minute, his decision to veto the change to the 11-1 vote requirements when we had the chance to do so was unforgivable.

Wouldn't that just be a Swede?

Watch out Briedl's about!

English is right. This is our level. We’ve no keeper, no centre backs and no strikers. We’re decent at full back with Robertson and when Hickey is fit (ha!). We’ve got what should be a capable midfield but that’s it, and none of our players bar 20yo prospect - prospect - Doak are remotely creative. It’s a tale as old as time but Scottish football gets what it deserves. The SFA, the SPFL and our top clubs are all absolutely complicit in not doing enough to improve our standards over 40+ years. Ian Wright was bang on on ITV last night even before our game had started. We’ve got phenomenal supporters from the national team through the clubs down to the grass roots. We’re a football daft nation and those who run our game are letting us all down badly.

John Crace on good form today with his opening paragraph, in response to Liz Truss revealing Labours "secret plan" - get Burnham back to Westminster to challenge Starmer. "It’s one of the great philosophical questions of our age. Or any age, for that matter. If Liz Truss didn’t exist, would it be possible to imagine her? Could anyone conceive that someone so brain-meltingly dim could have once been our prime minister"

I know I’m in the minority, but provided he’s not our main center forward and a squad player, I’m fine with this. New 9, nisbet, and he’s third option. He offered more than lazetic Ambrose and yengi last season and played a part in keeping us out of the playoff. He’s not first 11 but certainly offers something.

Ahead of my time.

Actually, I'm okay with the loan on one condition. If Cormack has information that Cormack park is built atop a disused mineshaft, accessible via trapdoor right at the front door. Upon signing, he's photographed outside, with a big cheeser underneath his Hun moustache, and invited back into the building. Cormack has switched the trap door for a bottomless rug, which Miovski steps on, falling 76 metres. He survives the fall, but after three days of screaming, he whispers a final "I'm sorry", before passing on to the place one floor below hell, reserved for all other Huns. The Dons report him missing after a week, and with nobody able to trace him, they are given a full refund of his wages to date and compensation of £100,000 from the Huns for their player's breaking of contract. Fourteen years later, the great grandson of Neil Simpson is taking a walk round the proposed site of a new underground training pitch, when he stands on Miovski's corpse, snapping his festering shin in two.

From the article: The 23-year-old - one of the fastest players in Scotland... I like Keskinen. We have not used him properly and haven't appeared to make any real effort to develop him into a position or consistent place in the team. The farce against AEK Athens summed up how he was being managed. But he works his arse off. He may not be Usian Bolt but DOES have pace, and does go past players on the touch line. He's very much a Robinson-type player too so unless there's some behind-the-scenes issue with him I'd expect Robinson would want him to stay. I don't think we should be emptying the entire starting XI. There's a few players with potential and Keskinen is definitely one of them.

Kasper Schmeichel has retired at 39. He was a big part of our 2025 Scottish Cup success, so I wish him well.

Alright folks, it is time for a massive under-the-hood upgrade here at DonsTalk. We'e been running the current version of our forum software for a few years now, and while it has served our Aberdeen FC match threads, transfer tracking, and daily football debates well, the digital world moves fast. With the current software reaching the end of its lifecycle at the end of this year, we are moving forward to future-proof the forum. Starting week commencing 6 July 2026, DonsTalk will be undergoing a major software upgrade. Because we proudly run a self-hosted setup, this isn't a standard "click update and hope" situation. It is a ground-up platform rebuild. Here is exactly what you need to know about the timeline, the upcoming features, and what to expect during the transition. The Upgrade Tmeline (UPDATED - Friday 26 June 2026) The site will be migrated in one day now, on Monday 6 July 2026. DonsTalk will be unavailable from 10am on Monday 6 July, and the new site will be available later that evening (possibly earlier). What's Changing? (And What You'll Love!) This isn't just a security update; it fundamentally improves how you use the forum every day. Brand new text editor (TipTap): The old clunky editor is gone. The new froum introduces a sleek, real-time rich text editor. This means pasting images, dragging and dropping quotes, embedding media, and formatting your match-day tactical breakdowns will be smoother than ever. Significantly Faster Page Loads: The entire platform has been stripped of legacy code bloat. Database queries are highly optimised, meaning the forum will load notably faster on mobile devices, even when threads scale to hundreds of pages during a tense transfer deadline day. True Progressive Web App (PWA) Capabilities: For those who browse DonsTalk on their phones, the new version behaves much more like a native app. You can expect better mobile responsiveness, cleaner dropdown menus, and vastly improved notification handling. Automatic Archiving and Index Cleanups: Behind the scenes, years of old historical threads will be managed better by the system so they don't drag down the site's overall search performance. A quick heads-up on launch week Because the new software handles themes and layouts entirely differently than the current forum, the forum will look a bit different when we first open the doors on July 10. We will continue to do some layout tweaks after launch and we'll be adding some new features over the coming months. We appreciate your patience while we get the digital pitch sorted out. Get ready for a faster, cleaner, and much more modern home for DonsTalk

Shinnie regretting his life choices after seeing ICT’s new sponsor:

He should just drive them out into the countryside somewhere and leave them there.

I think that's a bit harsh. Armstrong was defo one of the stronger contributors for us this season and I think if you put him in a team that can dominate physically he's going to have a lot more freedom on the ball. This is not a player you want to be doing loads of leg work like he's had to this season. But he has done it, he's a good team mate and I have high hopes for Armstrong next season as he has guile which is rare in Scottish football.

I think we should adopt an Athletic Bilbao-style policy by only signing players from the North East of Scotland.

This. We’ve moved from career politicians to out and out grifting politicians. Trump clearly doesn’t give a shit about what happens in the political structures now, he’s full tilt into building and protecting his wealth and that of his family. The ruling to exonerate him and his family from tax investigations in future is beyond wild.

Oh mate.. Type Miovski into the search and use "search by author" and @redordead He hated that boy long before it was fashionable

Lot's of people getting bent out of shape over the Miovski story. He went to Girona and wasn't getting a game so wanted a move. Reality is that nobody else was willing to pay for him and his wage demands apart from the Huns. They're probably paying in installments anyway and will inevitably go bust before they have made the final payment. Ok so he can't play against them if he's on loan but as much as it pains me, we're not competing with that lot at the moment anyway. We're struggling to get into the top half so if signing Bojan gets us out of that hole till we can afford better then so be it. I'm sure if we did take him and he started scoring goals he'd quickly be forgiven. Chances are he could sign for Hearts or Hibs on loan and do very well and we'd all look a bit stupid for foaming at the mouth about it. He used them to get out of Spain and play football. We can use him to get better and it could be win win

Is there a drop off on quality though?Or is it people just being snobbish, because the three stripes/ Adidas logo aren't on it for the Liam Gallagher wannabes amongst our support. Both manufacturers get these kits made in far eastern swearshops for pennies and then sold for stupid prices. I doubt there will be much difference in the selling price, but hopefully I am wrong. I used to buy tops for both my loons, but I can't justify the price anymore. I'm sure the club will be able to milk more from the fanbase, with this new deal, which is what it is all about. The new kits every season, is the shitty side of modern fitba.

It's easy to miss a capital here and there, but Jack MacKenzie has previously said that he'd rather be hit by a thousand chairs, in the nuts, than have someone miss the A from his name.

Id like to see Topi get a shot at playing in a different team that potentially suited his skills. As has been said he was driven into the ground that first season and then asked to play in various unfamiliar roles in a team lacking in any confidence. He really hasn’t had a chance. There have been games where he showed some real ability so Im not fully convinced he should be junked just yet. There is a danger that in scrapping the whole lot of them, we disrupt the squad significantly, replacing good footballers with mid-table Prem journeymen just because we crave stability. Someone, somewhere on the pitch is gonna need to be a baller.

Wow 3 in already. Only another 13 to go.

Mediocrity would be a massive step up from the season just passed tbf…

May I be the first to welcome the late Phoenix’s spirit back into the building?

The Malbec is never in the wrong

Hope he is a better coach than pundit

Not really left 2bh

My voice is absolutely fucked after that. Hell of a stadium though even if it did take two and half hours to get back into Boston. We were shite but we won so I don't care we were shite. Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in their opener in 22 so I'm really just not going to get too stressed about it. It's not uncommon to grow into tournaments and the pressure last night was huge. It can't be overstated at just how much of a monkey off our back it is to get a win at a World Cup given our last one was 36 years ago.

Reckon we could take both these teams. Water breaks are fucking gash, get them in the sea. "Referee view" is an abomination.

FTFY

Since Scotland are rolling back the years, it seems like an appropriate time to resurrect this classic tune Appreciate the youth of today wouldn't be aware of this song

@tlg1903 wins for being there, Malta will be fab Al and I will be watching with my 5 week old granddaughter

Gotta love a bit of healthy revisionism . I think we can all agree he’s a rat bastard but to suggest he wasn’t that great anyway when at Pittodrie is some impressive psychological management.

We all know of your dislike for him when he was at the club but to say that he never scored a header for us is not true

Maybe it's an Aberdeen thing, but for me, living in Glasgow, I don't really prefer (or hate) one more than the other. I also think, slightly changing the argument a little, Miovski's move to Rangers is nowhere near the same as Barron, Wright or Jack going to them, or the nonsense that was Ricky Foster.

It’s not just the football though. If you know a turbo Hun, you’ll also know his views on royalty, immigration, taxation, welfare, Donald Trump, climate change, genocide in Gaza, the death penalty, Brexit… There is a significant amount of people living in this country who need it to fail and who actively seek out misery. Drinking in the same flat roofed British legion club every weekend, going to Ibrox, sectarian marching & holidaying in Benidorm is their life Celtic fans have their problems too obviously but Huns are significantly worse

No loans from any other Scottish Premier league club - especially the cheeks. Buying players fine. I can live with a loan with option to buy, but just a straight loan, absolutely not. Its pathetic, embarrassing, demeaning, makes us look utterly tinpot and only helps the other team at the end of the day. I can’t actually believe any Dons fan can find this acceptable, no matter how shite we are on the field currently or at any other time…

I'd rather play Yengi up front than the hun rat

Fuck having Miovski back. Fucker knew what he was doing when he signed for them. Surely we have to be better than that.

They've never faced Grant Hanley, pishing with sweat and angry in 30 degree heat.

Nigel Farage addresses the nation. Not about how he’s never had a constituency meeting, or missed 77 Parliament votes in a row, or the £5m he pocketed from a Thai crypto billionaire for Brexit/security/something else or the fact his burd paid £900k in cash, presumably from tips, for a house he’ll never live in No, he wants to launch a white lives matter campaign on the back of a murder where the victims family specifically said it they didn’t want it turned into an issue of race. I suppose those white lives don’t matter to Nige He is a cunt, so is every member of his company & so is every dribbling fuckwit that falls for it It’s a shame he walked out of that plane crash

fair dos. Was more a provocation than a serious question, blame the Malbec. Obviously he’s a titan with godlike status …but the pinning against the wall idea sounds decent

Are we just glossing over the fact that Shinnie has captained an absolute shit show in the last 18 months. Obviously I’m not suggesting he’s entirely responsible but it’s not exactly CV enhancing. Pin pulled…

Also, it's good that Besuijen's 10 year contract has finally come to an end.
