Punted for spamming and unacceptable language and trust me it takes a lot to get banned banned from here

I know it’s not but it is for me. Finally made the pilgrimage over for my 50th. Off to the Ullevi stadium in the morning, to try and recreate Hewitts winner. There doesn’t seem to be an official tour but ill chap the door and ask I don’t know what you’re all moaning about, the weather is lovely

It's a chipper

I reckon Stephen Robinson used this thread to motivate the players yesterday. Look guys, we've been shyte, but on top of all that, there are "fans" out their, who think a 'chippy' is a suitable term for a chipper. The only way to stop such talk, is to go out, win games and put them idiots back in their box.

It's a chipper!! ... itherwise oor we announce a team selection somethin' like a goalkeepie, 3 defendies, 2 back wingies, 3 midfieldies, an' two strikies. If that happens, dinna be surprised if mony a playie chaps on the door o' the managie demandin tae be put on the transfie list and ends up playin' for the Rangies. ... an' dinna get ma started aboot Willie Millie bein' a sweepie .... guy nivver swept a lum in eez life ... wis def a chipper tho ... nae an affa good ane, but hey, ye canna be good at aathin'

I love how we bring everyone back and give them a free header anyway. Been doing this shit since Craig Brown LEAVE SOME CUNT UP FRONT FOR FUCK SAKES

Think we're giving the 95 team too much credit. We had only won five league games before Aitken took over as caretaker, and followed up a win over Rangers by losing to Stenhousemuir. I think, despite everything, if we're in deep shit after the split that we'd sell out Pittodrie for the remaining games and I think we'd be due Kilmarnock and St Mirren at home. I don't see us losing both those games. We're crap and gutless, but we'll scrape enough points to be safe. But we really could really do without losing to St Mirren in the next game just to relieve the stress levels.

Every year at our place, we get around £60 a head for the Mad Friday thing, which for around 300 workers, is quite a sizeable chunk of cash for folk that can easily pay their own way. During lockdown there was no shindig and they donated the money earmarked for it to charity, fair enough. I then made the suggestion that we should do this every year and pay for our own Mad Friday. I pushed for the funds to go to schools in poor areas. To say the reaction to this wasn't well received was an understatement. The entitlement was off the scale. I was genuinely taken aback by the abuse I got for suggesting it. I don't partake in Mad Friday and I also lose 10% of my yearly bonus because I won't do the charity stuff linked to it. We're meant to do it and post about it on the internal social media thing we use. Makes you want to boak. I still struggle to see why I am sort of being pushed out, as the oil industry up here dies. Was it something I said. I'm of the opinion that Utopia isn't happening in any of our lifetimes. No shit I hear you all say. You see the money being used to blow up the middle east and think how easily most of societys ills could be fixed if they really wanted it fixed and resources were used correctly.

My pants are a bit less sodden than usual this week. There's still some way to go before I will feel confident about wearing light coloured trousers, though.

You're saved getting one of these after review by VAR Panel and because having met you in Munich or possibly Madrid I know you're a good person so I put in a good word for you.

Moderators!

The dead huns weren’t relegated either. THEY FUCKING WELL DIED.

There is absolutely nothing about Cormack's time in charge of the footballing side of things that has Milne's paw prints on it. Other than the appointment of Robinson*. The rest has been data and processes. Even off the field we have been nothing like we were under Milne. It's possible that two chairman can be equally shite for different reasons. * I don't mean Milne appointed Robinson, just that he's in the Milne-esque category.

Sadly this future started quite a while ago. I miss the days of watching things on set days, then chatting about them at work, and looking forward to 'next week'. What an old man thing to say. For me, Netflix is all about quantity - most of it is shite, some of it is pretty good. Very little of it sticks in your memory for more than about 2 days. It's just finding the right things. But we tend to spend more time looking for stuff to watch, so invariably give up and go back to council telly. We also tend to rotate our subscriptons - Netflix for a few months, Apple for a few. They always throw offers at you to come back, and there is never a long term commitment so you can just cancel whenever. Apple doesn't have masses of stuff, but they seem to have more quality things - at least we have found a lot more there that has some proper substance. We'll often take it when a freebie comes up for a month, keep it for three, blitz a load of stuff, then leave it for a year. I could happily live without the streaming sevices. For the most part, you are better with a book - unless you fall in to the trap my wife fell into of just reading the crap that is churned out by Amazon for your kindle. Mrs Tattie: Oooh, 99p. How bad can it be Me: Very - Like the last 40. Why don't you just buy a real book! That's my issue with modern life (or one of many). We have too much choice, and 99% of it is pish. We are just told we need all these options and believe 'them'. Real music (including heavy metal - but not C&W or freeform jazz), four channels and some good books, thatll do me.

Its now or never for him and the whole club. Lets just have a little less conversation out of them all, and a lot more action and results on the park instead…

Another defeat to the scum of comfort, not even a crumb There’s nowhere to hide Down the table we slide The future looks right squeaky bum

The turncoat cunt has not scored for the huns.

Robots

Dundee United look like they're doing a lot of research into whether their signings are a good culture fit for them, hence signing someone who looks like he already lives in a caravan.

Here's my take on it good and bad: The woman asking the questions was horrific The sound quality was hit and miss, with one minute loud and clear and the next no audio at all Robinson's opinion on the best player he ever played against was Steven Gerrard Kept referring to "the football club" as a top six club......needs to re-think that part Now for the better parts in my opinion: Honoured to be manager. Praised the fan base and the facilities at AFC Preferred formation 4-3-3 but only if he has the players to play it, otherwise happy to be flexible. Not adverse to playing youngsters but only if good enough. If he has a 25 yr old and a 18 year old both playing same position and the 25 year old is the better player then he plays. Keen to work on set pieces and may look to add someone for that to the coaching staff. He has the final day on signings but obviously others do the leg work in identifying. Anticipates a lot of movement in the squad over the summer. Absolutely hates VAR with a passion and says it ruins the game for fans in particular. I actually quite took to him and am potentially a bit more comfortable with him BUT talk is cheap and he knows he has to deliver

Good idea. It's my wife's car, so it's her that they'll go after. I'm contemplating going full gaslight and asking her how she doesn't remember the day out she had in Dunfermline only a week ago. Maybe hide some of her things and remind her about the great time we had at various events we never attended.

8 goals in the last 6 home games is good form for Nisbet. Need a few others to start chipping/chipper/chippie in though.

Just watched the highlights from Saturday. That was a great finish by Nisbet for the second. The touch he took on his left, to tee it up on his right for the shot, superb.

Not sure he can be a contender for world cup call up, but I have been saying it for months he has been our best player this season (not much competition right enough) but in my opinion a one horse race for our POTY. In light of the shite we have had to endure this season it would probably be best to cancel the award, but if it has to be given to someone then for me it should be Nisbet. Anyway, massive three points which not very many of us were expecting, same again in a couple of weeks against Killie and we can then all start to breath a wee bit easier.

Same story, different stories. Probably affects McInnes' Aberdeen legacy that.

Watergate, MPs expenses, Post Office scandal, and now from the courier.... A new spin off civil war between the 'chippy' and 'chippie' factions to begin shortly

It was Aremu’s best game for us, not saying he was great but I think to everyone he was better than anticipated. He actually looked somewhat fit. And while he gvae the ball away at times, I thought he was more mobile athletic and competitive today, plus on a good day at least gets his shot on target. For the role he plays, today is the first sign that he can actually play it. as poor as the season has been, nisbet has been interested and lively, two more goals as well. Perhaps a late add to the World Cup squad?? We’re not exactly fully of talented forwards, worth taking?

It has certainly been a horrible place for fans to come to for a while!

People were saying a while back (some jokingly, some seriously) that Trump has made such an arse of the Iran war that he'll need to put some Epstein stuff out to distract back to that. Probably exactly what this is.

Only one candidate for player of the year Mats Knoester The rest can pretty much fuck off at the end of the season.

I don't understand that logic at all. We can get rid of anyone we want to any close season but none of them would just walk away because we got relegated so it would cost us money to be shot of them regardless of which division we were in. There is not one circumstance I can contemplate where relegation could be anything other than an embarrassing disaster.

It is definitely a chipper. The reason is that you get your meat from a butcher, fish from a fishmonger, groceries from a grocer, so it stands to reason that you get chips from a chipper. There you go. Case closed.

Perhaps we might not be around to see The Dons relegated after all - every mushroom cloud. Mind you a world populated by cockroaches and huns

Couldn't agree more. First two post split fixtures are massive for us. Win them and we'll be ok I reckon Maybe we could take Niall McGinn back for that last day as he has previous in that fixture

I think we’ve created a perfect storm in our recruitment this season. Too many technical players with no dig, too many CBs who can supposedly play out but can’t jump, too many wingers designed to ‘cut in’, too many young projects to optimise player trading, too many ‘they were fucking brilliant when they were 18 so they must be good even though they’ve been shite for the last 6 years’, too many loans or temporary contracts who don’t give a fuck. Did I miss any of the absolute shit show of a recruitment strategy that sees us utterly devoid of any structure, belief or confidence?

It’s crazy that we are hurting so badly in center mid. We allowed Clarkson polvara aouchiche and sivert leave, all who were not long term for us, but would probably start ahead of most of what we have now. where was Geiger yesterday? Horrible to throw youth at the problem, but I’d prefer to see Kjarten over afeez, who looks like our central midfield Ambrose so far. id go w shinnie Geiger and Kjarten in there, but awful that we have no clue who to play when we have six games to save our season.

Fortunately Killie look as honking as us away from home

See? I'm not sure Robinson is getting us through this. He doesn't look to have motivated the players in any way whatsoever. He doesn't look like he can do pragmatic fitba at all either. He looks to have his preferred setup and type of player, and is somewhat clueless as to what to do with a squad of guys that are the exact opposite of that type.

The last rocket on this forum turned out to be a bell end

Well that’s another thing for the negative column

If he turns out to.be shyte, I hope we can return to sender.

He's got a job as assistant manager at Rotherham United.

It's the same as the Huns who will happily be surrounded by 50,000 mutants spewing sectarian bile at Ibrox insisting they're "only interested in the football" as an excuse. They'll fixate on one policy that they claim is super-important to them (border security or "trans gender for EVERYONE") as justification for turning a blind eye to the hundreds of other atrocities committed by the regime so they can avoid any kind of recognition that they may have been wrong.

Apols if wrong forum. Im just on quickly to share and pay respects to a Dandies die-hard Dougie Strachan who recently passed after fighting a valiant battle against cancer. He was 60. Dougie grew up in Northfield and attended the academy. Next to his family he lived and breathed his beloved Aberdeen. He waa a sparky by trade. And frequented the Marischal bar in his younger days until he got “trapped” by his soul mate of 30 years. Dougie was fun, kindhearted, funny and his warmth filled up many a room. He introduced me to the Doric, and the Dons when I was up from Embra in 91-92 - towards the end of Alex Smith era. Im actually a Hibbie but stood on the terrace with Dougie supporting the Dons. The only part of the ground that’s uncovered. In Scottish football it’s the only terrace I have or will stand on outside of supporting the Hibs. Dougie wouldn’t want any fuss. Just thought I’d post here incase anyone knew him from the town or matches. So I’m not asking for a clap - maybe just a goal against the H*NS would be a fitting tribute to the great man. feel free to share on other forums he may have dipped into. stand-free Dougie - RIP fella. Mon the Dandies!

I've seen half a dozen league 1 centre halves that are better than milne. He needs shipping out next year.

You buy tickets online for Aberdeen games and you get asked for donations too. The fans project and community trust I think. Get that shit right in the bin Our works CEO is on $20 million plus a year and likes to do his thing about serving our communities to make them better places by giving back. I have pointed out our tax planning to ensure our tax exposure is the absolute minimum in every region we work in, goes against this principle and is why I don't partake.

Utopia's never happening. Too many vested interests and it'll skew the blessed free market. 15 minute city is a sound premise, but see the above regarding vested interests and the blessed free market. Then you factor in the usual right wing troglodytes banging on about (their version of) freedom and it's a non starter.

But then, certain groups of people (and not always the same groups) can look at virtually any set up with cynicism, as no matter how idyllic any system appears there will ultimately be those who get shafted In our leafy suburb I'll happily pay an extra penny or two in the pound in taxes if it means those on lower incomes have access to quality services, health care and education. Bring on Masontown (name needs some work). I'm in.

An affordable public transport system, leafy car free streets, cafes, newspapers, Gitanes, stronger community, never stepping foot in Clydebank again
