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

First win over United since Ambrose's late winner early in the Thelin era? Thought Gyamfi, Aremu, Geiger, Armstrong and Nisbet all had good games in the first half. Nisbet actually was playing off the left at times which was interesting, United didn't know who should be marking who and we were moving their defence about. Think all of them were a shadow of themselves in the second half though, and it took Shinnie and Frame coming on in particular to turn the tide back our way. If Olusanya can learn to finish he could be our next Shayden Morris. Can't fault his desire and willingness to run at defences. Chuffed he got a goal. Gyamfi and Frame offer a nice dilemma as to who should be playing. Gyamfi can't last 90 minutes just now though, but his physicality was a big attribute today, but Frame is a menace and is good at finding space. After the St Mirren defeat, I was genuinely worried for us, wasn't sure we had it in us to beat anyone. Since then we've taken 10 points from 12 with three clean sheets. He wasn't a popular appointment, and there's still sections of the support he has yet to win over, but you can't deny Robinson has done a fine job over the last five weeks.

Wouldn't that just be a Swede?

Watch out Briedl's about!

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

I'm starting to think you're taking the piss min Three onto The Victims, three off The Jambos, means both are + 32 and The Victims have scored more goals

You think they'll be showing the Scottish league cup games in ICE detention centres?

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.

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.

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.

The League Cup group stage draw is 27 May and will be televised, so get that in the diaries. As for today. Molloy is shite, I don't know why people are so keen to give him a chance. One of the goals, he gives it away, gets back into position, then is outjumped because he can't jump, something that has been evident for some time, and no amount of time will fix that. Milne surely is one of the guys Robinson alludes to when he criticises the lack of fight and desire? Devlin has that, but isn't the same player he once was. Our defence is hopeless. The midfield three at times today actually played some decent stuff. Keskinen I thought looked okay more central - he'll battle in there and his through balls are better than his crossing. Robinson - I don't get the criticism of him this early. He's got more out of this group of charlatans than anyone else has, and more than I thought possible. He's saved us from the ignominy of a play-off. Will judge him next season.

Am I right in thinking that every single Premiership team has taken something from Pittodrie this season - except Hearts? Had they won at Pittodrie earlier in the season, they'd already be champions. Basically, Topi Keskinen is this season's Albert Kidd.

Kids go to Pittodrie. Not sure you want to see Judas Cunt in the program, on the team sheet, and being announced over the tannoy every second week…

A fair point. I guess Olusanya is proven chaos, whereas those two are unproven chaos! Olusanya has the physique (height, basically) that Keskinen lacks against big centre halves, and Bilalovic seems to be quite weak and lacks the diligence to even do the forward role. Bilalovic looks like the type that has the potential to be good, but will probably never fulfil it. Unless he has an amazing preseason, I'd like to see him go somewhere in Scotland on loan for six months to sharpen him up and get him putting the work in. What's most frustrating about the Olusanya situation is that he, and none of the other options, are actually as good as Esther Sokler. With a bit of work, he could have been a great asset when playing two up front.

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.

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

It would be funny if only the top half of Shinnie went to Inverness. His legs have stayed.

Leaves as a cup winning captain and assures him of legendary status Thanks for the memories

Story doing the rounds that Hearts participation in European football next season could be in doubt owing to Bloom's involvement with them, Brighton and the Belgians. I say, kick the bastards while they're down

We should move heaven and earth to get back into the EU. We will go back with a significantly poorer deal than we had but that’s the price paid for stupidity. The only realistic way we get out of this Reform spiral and the misery of where the UK is headed is by driving economic growth and bringing some much needed wealth back into both the public purse and into the pockets of those at the poorer end of society. The EU is our biggest market opportunity, we’ve lost tens of billions by leaving it. On top of that, the rise of Trump has changed the landscape immeasurably in Europe and the need to form stronger ties with them has never been greater in recent times.

Thank fuck THAT’s over. A shiteshow of a season. We’re still us though - thousands of poor bastards aren’t, the fucking losers. Imagine the joyless tedium of having a stake in anyone other than the Dons (and Keith, obviously). In the words of Bertie Wooster on being introduced to his pal’s fiancée, “It seemed he’d made his choice without walking the full length of the counter. My season ticket will be renewed tomorrow Stand free, comrades.

Getting a bit tired already of Jambos and the media running with the narrative that decisions in the last few Celtic games lost them the title. Let’s ignore that they only won 1 in last 7 away games and that was scraped against 9 men (and that they couldn’t beat the worst Dons team in a decade at Pittodrie ). Best thing about yesterday is that I can now get back to the fallacy that I would support anyone other than the OF winning the league and pretend the last few months never happened.

I'm not convinced Bavidge will make the grade, but I'd much rather give him the chance than Lazetic. Hope he does the business.

Kevin Nisbet has scored in every game he's ever played at Dens Park. This includes when he played for Dunfermline. He never played there for Hibs (though did score v Dundee at Easter Road). Whether he scores or not is the real story in Scottish football this week.

There was a valid question asked after Thelin was bagged and Leven got nothing out of this shower for weeks as to whether we’d have been better just sticking with the Swede. Fair question then, not now. Robinson’s got way more out of this lot than Thelin or Leven ever did. He’s got them setup much better, they seem to know what they are doing, and the giving away of stupid set piece goals has slowed considerably - I must say Morrison is growing on me, had a good game yesterday. We’ll never know for sure, but I think we’d have gone down with Leven remaining in place. He got absolutely no response from them at all. I think its very likely we’d have gone down with Thelin still in place as he was far too stubborn, his style of play was completely wrong for this league, his defence was an absolute joke, and frankly I don’t think the players knew what they were supposed to be doing most of the time. Robinson’s come in and achieved his one clear target for this year - and lets be honest, after that game in Paisley that looked pretty unlikely too. Can’t ask any more than that. He’s growing on me too, be interesting to see where he can take us from here…

I popped back into The Most Recent of the Auld Sites min, Jeff ye radgy fupper o Fupp min etc etc, to witness what carnage Mason visited on The Thickest Fans In All Fitba after yesterday’s welcome extirpation of the hoors’ abortions. The boy done good. I note that even my erstwhile raging stalker, the thick-as-stovies-in-a-flask wanker Stokiearab, has trained his pathetic peashooter fire in the direction of Dunbartonshire rather than Banffshire. I’m convinced, more than ever, that their collective IQ is not far ahead of either Livingston’s or Rothes’s points total. They still talk of some non-existent concept “the New Firm”. Ferguson 10 McLean 3. Fucking fannies.

Signing Olusanya is only a good idea if someone else in the league is signing Rubi. He has not managed goals in the MLS, League 1 in England and our league this season. Signing him is no different to signing Lazetic and Yengi last season. I was not in favour of Robinson’s appointment and nothing I am seeing is changing that view so far. I really hope summer will prove me wrong and we won’t just try to recreate his St Mirren team in style and possibly personnel however, I suspect I will be deeply regretting my decision to renew my season ticket.

That’s the beauty of a Club50 railcard. £15 to buy and they do flat fare deals. Travel anywhere in Scotland for £19 return. They are doing one from tomorrow for next 6 weeks.

I felt if Hearts could take at least four points from Hibs & Rangers they would win it. They got six, and were behind in both games. They can afford to lose a game now and still win it. I've heard Celtic fans say if it's alive on the final day then Celtic will do what they need to do and score as many as they need, but I don't think they will. This isn't the Celtic side of old. It's one that has filled itself with project players and relied on previous title winners who have regressed from what they once were. I don't think Celtic will win their three remaining games. Honestly, I could see Hearts beating Motherwell and Celtic dropping points to Rangers, meaning Hearts can win it at home in midweek. Is it good for Aberdeen? Unlikely. It makes Hearts significantly stronger, especially if they reach the group stages of the Champions League. Maybe not enough to win it again if Celtic finally spend their vast reserves, but enough to make it more difficult for us to close the gap on them. However, I'm beginning to accept it. It stings, especially because it's Derek McInnes, but I have a few Hearts pals I'll be happy for. What's more important than anything though is that we sort ourselves the fuck out, because we need to at the very least be competitive again at the top end.

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…

Just calling it Jute’s forum would save a few characters

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…

That was a documentary

Trust you were serving them out of the slops tray

Once they are all back from injury, our defence of Tobers, Kneoster and Morrison is going to take 2029 by storm

It's hard to tell, can you confirm one way or another if you enjoyed this season or not?

Agree the lack of strength in the LP is pretty damning. Suspect there is a pretty short list of candidates who want to throw themselves on the hand grenade at this point. Rayner is most ‘likeable’ and in normal circumstances would be most likely to appeal to the public but as someone said, our right wing media would have her in the woodchipper within weeks for walking on the cracks in the pavement while Nigel grifts his way up the polls. Feels like there is a sense of inevitability about Reform at this point. It’s a bit like Jambos winning title for me. Two historically dominant powers have an existential crisis and an odious, wanna be serious one emerges to threaten the status quo and it’s not the one I want

We've aimed for better before and ended up with Sokler, Yengi, Ambrose, JET and all sorts. Olusanya isn't the greatest footballer in the world but we know what we'll get from him and he's undeniably effective. As long as we get another striker in to backup Nisbet - or Bavidge gets a chance, which seems overly-hopeful - then Olusanya is an absolute no brainer of a signing.

And there we are. Mathematically safe with 2 games to go. Some achievement. Go us. That game had distinct end of season vibes. A familiar recent pattern too, decent first half then a rather ropey second. Fitness is clearly an issue, Aremu being a glaring example. Second half he ran like he was towing a caravan and was breathing out his arse - again. Fair play, Olusanya had a good game today and deserved a goal (even he couldn’t miss that). He does cause problems and offers a physicality we’ve been badly missing, but surely we can sign a striker who offers that and can also play football. While I give no credit to that bin fire of a squad after the shit show of this season, full credit to Robinson for getting enough out of them to get us safe. Fucked over the buds by coming here when he did which helped us out & got some structure in place at last to at least make that lot difficult to beat. Now, bin at least 80% of that squad, do recruitment this summer like the diets & well did last summer & lets never talk of this season again…

Lot of assumptions there Panda min. Wish I could feel so positive, but I just knew that was coming. I’ll be honest. They have got to be joking. The lad works hard and puts himself about - which is more than most of them have done this year - but there’s one small issue, he’s NOT A FOOTBALLER!! Seriously if this is the level we’re going for - backup or not (and I’d not be so sure on that one) - then we’re going nowhere. You think Hearts or Motherwell would sign that? Not a chance, and both of them have shown you don’t need to build a squad incrementally over time - one good transfer window with astute capable signings suited to your league and style can transform your team. Someone needs to have a word with Robinson, remind him he’s nae at St Mirren now and his budget stretches much further than Toyosi bloody Olusanya. Get a grip AFC ffs…
