At 3-0 down, he'll receive a second booking for kicking the ball away. As he walks off, he slips in the steadily forming puddle of his manager's tears, landing on a water bottle which ruptures his bum crack*, putting him out of action for six years. As he lies on the ground, Rubi commandeers the phone of a willing spectator in order to take a thumbs up selfie in the foreground of the injured Hun. The image goes viral. *I'm not a medical professional

If it's to the pie queue I wouldn't bother embarrassing yourself

As opposed to your posting on here...

The traffic has been a pain in the arse too. Can't wait until we're shite again so we get hame quicker.

Id like to think this as a 1970s 'Brian Clough' revelation moment. Celtic and Rodgers become Thelin's 'white whale'

Lewis Ferguson played the last 10 mins, good to see him back fit. Beat Rama’s lecce 1-0.

It will be hard for him to get a career ending injury if he doesn't play though......

If Jamie is reading this... siiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggnnnnnnnnnn

Best ever night as a Dons' fan. Beating the Huns on penalties, keeper scoring a goal. Roy of the fucking etc A good moment when a photographer refused to return the ball to Barry Ferguson, who got very upset. The photographer obviously said something (I'm assuming he called him a Hun cunt) and threw him the ball back, Ferguson continued the argument whilst the photographer took photos of his irate ratface. Good event though, very enjoyable. £9 a pint is quite the stretch. Worth it to see Eoin Jess bang one in again. The only true master of the tournament, maybe 6 years older than the next oldest? Reckon I would challenge a few of them for fitness though. Would have shat it against Gary Kenneth mind you.

My name is OxfordDon and I am a recovering AbMadder. Haven't touched the stuff for eight years now

Finished 3-2 Shame for Ayr (shitehole full of Huns)

I was never bothered about doing Ben Nevis,due to the amount of tourists,but its a very good viewpoint. Heres a an easy one down near Edzell,good autumn walk with loupin salmon https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/angus/edzell.shtml

Right, there's far too much giddy positivity flying about at the moment, this isn't like us - our forebears must be rustling in their graves at the heights of unfettered hyperbole being voiced just because we are not currently bottom of the league. So to get us back to our roots, here are our current achievements properly grounded in Aberdonian pragmatism. Some key milestones so far: Wins: we've secured enough wins to avoid beating the all-time record for fewest in a season (7 wins, 1916-17). So just joint holders for now. Points: In a similar vein, we've successfully dodged the tag of worst points total ever (21 points, 1904-5, 1916-17). Some way to go for the comparable 3points-a-win season record though (34 points, 2003-4), so don't get too carried away. Managers (league wins): Jimmy Thelin (7 in 8 ) is officially better than Neil Warnock (0 in 6), and is steadily closing in on such managerial behemoths as Stephen Glass (9 in 29), Alex Miller (10 in 38). and Jim Goodwin (11 in 35). So well done Aberdeen... for now.

Not at all. He won because the left is heading in the wrong direction. Immigration economy crime are massive issues. The country has gone to shit in the last 3 plus years (you could argue the world too.) so many campaigned that it was policy and party and not personality, trump himself repeatedly said you may not like me but the country is going in the wrong direction.

Well, that was gutting. Our impressive run was always going to come to an end, but in that manner? That's where my disappointment lies. Having said that, this group have just kept going and going since the start of the Season, we've had some big performances and big results, they are still learning, we shouldn't lose sight of that, and like I said in my last post, I think when he brings all of his own players in, players that will improve us in particular to how Thelin wants us to play, then I have no doubt we will be just fine and then some. I liked how he immediately shut down the tiredness talk, despite it quite clearly being the case last night, he said that is where he wants us, 3 games a week! Celtic had the luxury of resting half of their 11 midweek, literally. We started with the same 11 that put in a shift and won midweek, a lot of our passes and tracking etc... were well off the pace last night, you could just see it. They were knackered. Need to take this on the chin, learn from it, use it and fester it all into Dundee on Saturday and continue this excellent domestic start. Maybe Nesbit will be back, Dante Polvara allegedly isn't far away, Gueye still to come back, I remain fairly confident and optimistic for the remainder of the Season.

TBF, Celtic have done well to keep it going as long as they have, they shouldn't get too disheartened, it's good to have the challenge.

I think you are starting a rumor, January loan until we fully sign him back next summer?

I don't know how long it's been since I saw an Aberdeen team fight like that. To see Pittodrie rocking like that gives me the shivers.

Big questions need to be asked. Not sure this manager is up to it.

Two goals for Miovski in the Spanish Cup tonight.

Correction: 22 (TWENTY TWO) clear of these fuckers with a game in hand? And it’s still, still only October?

Just needed a firmware update: 10 RUN 20 IF DistanceToByline<1m THEN Cross 30 GOTO 10

Just back, what a result. We totally dominated that second half, it was like we were playing a team from the championship. Top marks to the defence who were solid when required, but also moved the ball forward so quickly and were happy to take it into feet throughout, Mitov included. They couldn't get near us, like we had an extra man. However, if it wasn't for a centre half, a fullback and a donkey, we'd have been going home with one point. But really, the win is Thelin's. For years, including McInnes, we've had managers sitting in, comfortable with their tactics for 70 minutes, maybe tweaking something small or making a like for like sub. Now we've got a manager who witnesses what's happening and makes changes to personnel and tactics that get us goals and points. Morris was fantastic when he came on, but it was also a change of tactic, from Keskinen coming infield and switching wings, to us playing with width and Devlin overlapping. Duk shifted in to try and pick something up at the back post and McKenzie playing high. Shinnie comes on with the instruction to play deep and cover the fullback belting forward (he was at right back for large parts), then Duk moved to centre forward in place of Sokler, who couldn't adapt from being the man over the top in the first, to being the penalty box striker in the second. Which comes to Ambrose. It wasn't that he is a good player, it's that he - like Nisbet - plays in the penalty box in a way that Sokler and Duk don't. Sometimes it's best to have a poorer player more suited to the role than a good player not playing to his strengths, and Thelin seems to not only always get that right, but also get the overall balance right and at the right time. Besuijen played well and just offered fresh legs and a different challenge for them to think about. He didn't just throw on a bunch of players because they weren't the guys already on the park. Obviously, it helps that we have that rock solid base behind to build from, but the manager has built that confidence and solidity. Just brilliant. Probably the best Dons I've seen this century. Maybe.

Ambrose is quality. Can’t believe he doesn’t play more!

Bastard. You have just triggered memories I have spent years drinking to repress so will now need to go to the pub at lunch time to try and drown them in drink again.

Matchday of the Dead

You never know, he might take the same approach he did when he was Aberdeen manager and be soft as shite. I knew there was something different about you. You don't live in New Zealand, you live in the year 3000, with Busted. Sad to hear that means the new stadium hasn't been built though.

Whilst the time of year isn't ideal, but it's great that the club are attempting this at least.

Then they could get 3 stars on their badge, to represent the amount of times they've been relegated

Aye first thing I said to my pal when he came one was "he's lost at least half a stone in weight".

Not just vision, it’s not an easy pass, especially from a standing position with very limited back swing. I’d say a better pass than the McGrath-sokler at parkhead and that certainly got praise. I will add it’s the first game nisbet has impressed me. Lively sharp and hard working, plus got some decent attempts on goal. Sokler doesn’t really create that much for himself, nisbet looked fit and hungry!

Thelin now officially just as good a manager as Alex Miller (10 Aberdeen career league wins). Admittedly Jimmy was slightly quicker than the year it took Alex.

Take your anti-heat rhetoric somewhere else, bigot. As someone who produces heat on a regular basis, I find your call for patience and love offensive.

It's the Republican head-in-the-sand stance on human accelerated climate change that I find utterly abhorrent (as well as the bat shit crazy stance on guns and abortion related healthcare) that means I would have voted for fucking Mr. Bean before 34 x convicted felon, sex offender and pathological liar Donald J Trump.

Appeared off the bench in the 81st minute to make his Champions League debut

Yes

He makes Dadi and D'jaffo look talented. His very important goal was a case of right-place right-time. But I 100% agree he is being made to look good by those around him

Amongst others that died?

I think we might play Nilsen and Palaversa, with Shinnie in front. Shinnie will spend the entire half getting right into Barron, not letting him move, and he'll take the bait and get sent off. We'll then take on all our flair players, like Morris and Ambrose, and put six past them.

I don't disagree but that doesn't mean I wouldn't have found it pretty funny though

Forgot my login details and have been AWOL for some time. Sat at work this morning and had time to kill, so managed to get back at it on here. Love what is happening right now for us, and long may it continue, last night epitomised what Thelin has done up until now, Ambrose came on a few weeks ago ( I can't remember who it was against, but he was absolutely awful and off the pace ) and was left out of the next squad altogether, back in the squad last night and ends up scoring that all important goal. Dundee United defended well, they did a good job at nullifying us in all honesty, but 2nd Half they just couldn't cope and we started creating more clearer chances and got that all important and frankly utterly deserved goal. Bit surprised at their league standing, judging by last night all they had to offer was a long throw, seemed like that's what they were playing for, bit weird in all honesty, a handy tool to have now and then, but it's literally all they offered right up until the death when their player balloons it over the crossbar. I've no real issues with Goodwin, he did try his best, ultimately his stubbornness cost him his job here and he did have a slight chocolate attitude, hence why he's slotted in nicely to that mob. They are a good match for each other, think they're something they're not. Regardless how this season pans out, I have seen enough already to believe that we will be okay and then some once Thelin gets his squad the way he wants it, right now he's getting a tune out of the current crop, but some of them will move on and he'll have to replace them, hopefully they are of Sivert Nilsen and Palaversa quality.

The prices are wild. £320 for a very average looking grey tracksuit. The only thing I would have considered buying was the trainers, but not at £110 a pop. Make sure you've got your TV licences paid before splashing out on any of that.

I'd fucking love it, really I would

While I predicted 2-1, I would certainly like to see a shutout this weekend. We average losing a goal a game and our defense must be better. If we have high expectations we have to improve defensively. We lose pretty crappy goals too, hope we can clean this up!

Aye, it wouldn't surprise me, I wish we had sewn it up before the start of the season. It was clear he was a stand out for us, it'll be interesting to see when we started talks. I don't think there's much hope of him extending his contract at present, unless he's really settled in the city with family etc. It's in his own best interests to let it play out for a while and see what offers are on the table in January. It's a similar situation to that of Hayes when he joined the Tims, and he signed a contract with us that guaranteed a good wage and a healthy - but not outrageous - sum for us when he departed. It would be tremendous is we could get McGrath on another 2 years with a ~£1M clause if he's happy enough in the city. The Tims will happily pay that chicken feed amount to get a player that can win them games domestically, coming in and out of the team when required, whilst weakening a team that can take points off them. They've done it many times over the years, with McCowan the latest, Hayes before and others. I guess it depends how much he values being a key part of a team and minutes on the park over being a smaller part in a bigger machine. I suspect many of us have had eqiuvalent situations in our own working life (I have!). He's been a great signing for us either way.

Who would have thought, on a weekend where we were away to Celtic, that we'd actually increase the gap on Rangers.

Yeah bar a few harsh yellows Walsh was fine, certainly didn't feel like he was getting influenced by the crowd and by and large let the game flow. I would go as far as to say it was most competent display I've seen from a Scottish ref in a game between ourselves and one of the ugly sisters away in quite a while. Re the chalked off goal I can't help but feel if Celtic had scored that against us we would have been howling for a handball so whilst I agree the rule has become a nonsense it is what it is and the goal was correctly not given. It would have been amazing to win but what we did was as good as one in some ways. It would be fair to say every Scottish football fan had a curious eye on the San Giro yesterday and coming back from 2 down there is never not impressive. It's not like a really good celtic team didn't show up yesterday either, they played really well in spells and their first goal was utterly ruthless. We got a point because we not only could go toe to toe with them we could do so from two goals down and if we can do that to them, there, then we can do it to anyone in the league. The best bit about that? They all know it When you think about it this is the first time since the early 90's that every single fan of the other clubs in Scotland would at the very least be wary about playing us. I've already seen utd fans online saying they are dreading next Saturday and they have had a great start to the season, they would normally be hyped for a trip north in such circumstances. What a game that is now as well, a win puts us in such a strong position to really turn the screw on der hun. Der hun who are very fortunate to be going in to half time still drawing against Killie. Even if they win today though if we beat utd we would still go 6 clear of the cunts should we do the business against them. I've no idea how long this can last but I'm defo going to enjoy it while it does. However early in the season it may be I really think yesterday's performance and result could be one of the most pivotal moments of the season for us. The confidence and belief in the squad will be through the roof after that and I can see us really going for the jugular in games a bit more as a result.
