Over the piece you are correct, but by fuck scoring a worldly like that deep into add time and then not being able to see it out is tough to take. When all is said and done how many of us would have thought we would have completed our first round of games without defeat. Yes, performances have been disappointing in last couple of games but let's not knee jerk and start throwing individuals under the bus. We are still definitely work in progress.

Of course, doesn't everyone have a tattoo on their neck in the shape of a penis? If not, then I definitely feel like a fool.

Technically its official name is Camp Nou.

It was interesting to see Polvara preferred to Palaversa though Polvara was being played far further forward than Palaversa would be. It's also interesting the extension for Palaversa hasn't been triggered which makes me suspect he would be on a bigger wage if we do and we aint sure he's worth it in the grand scheme of things. Despite the loss I'm not very disheartened, I never thought we would challenge long term but we were very unfortunate not to get something from that.... and if Clarkson takes his chance just before they score then we very easily could have won it. We defo looked far more defensively stable than we have for a while last night which i take the greatest pleasure in. You could argue the conditions hampered celtics possesion based style more than ours but we didn't really give them much all game and credit to Mcgarry who put his shaky performance against hearts in the bin and turned in a really solid one in last night. I really did fear for him last night going up against Kuhn but he dealt with it well. Also huge credit to Doohan, an early stop did his confidence the world of good and looked pretty assured the rest of the game (which eases the mind about Mitov's abcense going forward). I've seen a few grumbles about Keskinen recently and they are not all without merit. I was saying to my pal last night he's just not really lit up a game yet but I'm hopeful it's just a get settled in a new league and country thing and he will show us why we spent big on him in the second half of the season. On wide men, I wouldn't mind seeing vinny get a start on Sat, I thought he looked good when he came on and, like morris, he defo seems to be getting his head up a bit more when on the ball...... Duk on the other hand was far more wasteful and posed little threat bar falling over when losing possesion. Looking forward, ST J is a must win game if we are serious about second but then we are off for 2 weeks.... which I think could be a blessing in disguise as after we are home to hibs, away to Kilmarnock, away to utd, home to county and then away to motherwell in the space of 15 days. That's pretty gruelling but it's the same fixture list for all our opponents and we should be looking to take maximum points from that run of games imo. I'm not saying there are not tough fixtures in there but none of them are getting a free fixture weekend in the build up to it and we have a better squad than all of them.

I've been reliably informed that our bubble has now burst, so in line with meeting this new benchmark of optimism a quick update on where we stand: Currently still on target to set the worst points total in club history - we just need to make sure we don't gain another 3 points across the rest of the season. Jim Goodwin is still officially a better manager (11 wins). We remain yet to win a game in Europe this season, our longest winless streak since December 2023.

Seriously, Storm Bert?

That'll be the last we see of Duk then.

best way to play football in the winter, we'll be fine

Hope it hurts like fuck you loser .

It'll need demolished soon anyway, it was built by Stewart Milne. Just move the road back a bit. It's fine, we're the Dons, anything goes.

Not a single mention of Neil Warnock. Even the Chairman is trying to erase all memory of that Hun prick

20 years ago the world lost The Moroccan Magician, Hicham Zerouali Met him a couple of times in the kebab shop on Bridge Street, always happy to talk to Dons fans. Imagine how he would've been under JT's guidance!

Yeah so apparently I need to get my eyes checked

Even managed an apostrophe in the right place. I expected him to use "Their" twice

Jensen is pish unfortunately! Does feel like we need a big defensive signing, but not sure that's going to happen.

Ah that'd make sense. "Two Jabs" aftermath was priceless. I remember a Java game that did the rounds on email back in the day, where you had to land as many eggs on Prescott's face before he punched you

Good. Pittodrie is fucking ace.

He was maybe behind Shankland?

Thoughts to his beneficiaries. 12 years in a nursing home will take a heavy toll on their inheritance!

Is he good enough? The Dundee boy is a bench warmer and why would they want McGrath other than he’d be free and one to sit beside mccowan? He’s been good for us but in their eyes Celtic are a step above us. I’d argue miovski made the right move than ‘settling’ for Celtic but I don’t see McGrath as that level. He’d struggle to start and I think he’d want to be more than just a squad player.

Dante is back in the match day squad

You missed that years ago when they had thon Jordan in there

Nope, in fact it is yet another reason we're lucky according to Jambos Kickback forum

Living it up in London town at the mighty Orient

ibroxymoron /ˌeɪbrɒksɪˈmɔːrɒn/ noun noun: ibroxymoron; plural noun: the peepul a figure of ridicule in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g. "we're still the same club but we don't owe any money" ).

Sort of suggests they were working on replacing O’Neil for a while.

I mean a lot of folk are euro snobs and look down on the league. The only thing that seems to attract them are big name players, which cost the league more and don’t actually bring much. It’s a very congested market, that’s for sure. They need to up their fan engagement though.

That idea ended up with a braga style stadium although looking at it 9 years later I think its pie in the sky thinking unless the 'new merkland' had alot of glass to maximise the natural light around it. I wonder if this will also end up on Twitter?

As bad as teams in previous game were Perth are a whole new level of shite.

Correct. In last qualifiers their “Home” games were played in Poland behind closed doors.

Racist

I wonder if the drop in Pittodrie's value as housing means the houses and flats behind and around the merkland, south corner, and carpark are now dropping in value? Other thought is the land earmarked for the new stadium possibly more valueable as housing? Some quick property purchases with deals to include a new home(s) for the adjacent golf club(s) in the stand and maybe pittodrie street's route can be altered freeing up space to replace the main stand with one that meets current regs. Merkland lane is a headache though and all the relocating of utilities, drainage etc.... 13000 seats it is then with capacity raised to 15/16000 if safe standing installed

Official line on AGM from club.

Oh dear What a shame Looks like my season ending injury wish has borne fruit after all

If that was your guess for the first 5 minutes then well done.

We need to forget about Mattie He is long gone and moved on

Afternoon fellow half baked melts

I’m not too concerned as most teams are in the same boat and we have options in midfield and up top, defensive cover is an issue though. At least after the St. Johnstone game the team get 2 weeks before facing Hibs on 21st.

Hearts lads dropping like flies. Delayed reaction to @BigAl's wish for them to suffer career ending injuries.

Las Palmas pick up 3 points with a 2-1 win against Barcelona at the Nou Camp with Scott McKenna playing the whole match. Always surprises me that he’s not Scotland’s first choice left-sided central defender when fit.

Getting a bit woke in your old age?

I hope you ate more than your fair share of free sausage rolls, and hit Hibs bank balance where it really hurts

23 ahead with a game in hand now.

Devlin very lucky there

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czr74ex32glo One defeat and the party is over?

Make that two. Shady haS been really good TBF

Two Jags - he only hit the guy once (from memory).

Thirty eight years ago the late Iain Porterfield took on the toughest job in Scottish football by succeeding Sir Alex as Aberdeen manager A pretty near impossible task but his record wasn't that bad during his tenure and undoubtedly not helped by Scottish football changing with Murray printing his own money and pumping it into Ibrox

It's interesting, he's very good, but I'm not sure he's too good for the Scotland squad thread. He's definitely not at the level where he deserves his own thread yet, but maybe in a few years if he continues to develop. He's got a fantastic delivery and great vision, which in the past might have been enough for your own thread, but the game has changed a lot these days and I think you'd need to add pace and athleticism to really break through to the top level, where you might have your own thread, on top of being discussed in other more generic threads.

I recommend opening with a spin round in your chair, followed by a wink. Then pretend to shoot each interviewer with an imaginary gun.
