Hey! No need for that.

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

Hard no from me. Name alone isn’t a footballer, sounds like the neighboring town of camberwick green.

Out of the frying pan, into the absolute cunt, as they say.

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

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…

Without sounding like an apologist for what I agree has not been a storming tenure to date I think it’s unfair to run a narrative that they/he has done nothing. It’s pretty challenging to reverse the kind of shambles that 14 years of austerity and an ideological destruction of the state bring about. Add to that the adversity of Trumpian influence and it’s a difficult environment to perform in. Despite these economic head winds, they have put in place a number of things that are designed to have impact over a longer period - support for working people, youth apprenticeships, rebuilding public services, NHS waiting time reductions, creation of wealth funds, green energy initiatives, investment led growth etc etc. Our media will never focus on these things as they aren’t interested in talking about the bureaucratic, administrative corrections and longer term solutions. They want to amplify the missteps, and there’s been a few, to tear down the personality etc etc. I hate the fact that the measure of a good politician is all about their charisma and ability to spin a story (increasingly to just lie) but it’s where we are. Good work gets ignored and written off as not changing anything because it doesn’t take immediate hold. Economic growth forecasts have improved despite Trump and NHS waiting lists are reducing you say? Yeah but what about……

And Billy Corgan had me believing it is a vampire

The accusations of antisemitism

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.

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

Yep this. The recruitment has been a complete omnishambles for at least a couple of years, and this is exactly why. Completely forgot the basics in pursuit of a very ill judged strategy - the basics being you need a solid experienced team on the park that can cope with the unique requirements of this league…

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.

It will get forgotten about in all the fall out but at the very beginning of this story, there was a competent woman already in the job

In Driving RDR 3-0 Dons (Nisbet x2, Olusanya) Pick up a chipper supper on way home to celebrate

I am not, not being optimistic. I don't believe that most of the wealth that modernity has created is particularly meaningful. I think we can all be happy, indeed happier, with a lot, lot less. If we don't, then we're simply, selfishly, kicking the can down the road so that you're (and my) children will be in the position you are now wondering why their now deid da didn't recognise the coming disaster. I'm more concerned that my children will wonder why I believed the blatant fantasy of electric cars, less flights and vegan processed food. Edit: I hope it's obvious that I'm referring to myself too when I talk of selfishness and so on

Yes, important distinction

The Balmediocrity Hun cunt has equalised for TMSTID which pops Killie’s balloon a tad. The banner when the weasely cunt left, lest we forget…

Yup, good shout. The leadership are now obsessed with the idea of player trading. We are filling the squad with ‘potential’ - either young guys who haven’t really learned the craft or put in the hard yards, slightly older guys who have lost their way after early career success or as you say off form and so not played for months. We seem obsessed with unearthing hidden talent at the cost of just some good solid, experienced players.

I'll set them up, you guys knock them down

Wales deserve to lose, if only for that fucking annoying trumpeter

The difference between 1995 and now is that the team back then had the desire and will to battle to stay up when the chips were down. This lot won't.
