  1. Quite a strange game I have to admit. About 17 dons fans turned up for this game, most of us pretty much pissed. Got a friendly welcome and were directed straight away to the beer and BBQ stalls. The locals informed us that JC wasnt coming to the game and that he had flown off to Finland to see a striker?! Got the flags up next to the Broch flag behind the goals and were allowed onto the park for a kick about. Just as the night before the wee local pitch was immaculate and a real pleasure to have a game on.

    Got a few photos with the players who were not playing (most of the first team) and then the real stupidity began with Brunstane sheep deciding as they were short of players and only had 2 subs he should warm up and ask Jimmy Nichol for a game. Seve looked round in utter bemusement as Brunstane runs onto the park where everyone is stretching and puts down beer x of the day and starts stretching too. He then jogs off to the dugout where JN and SC are mulling over a clip board and puts his arms round their shoulders asking for a game. Unsurprisingly he never got one! We perched ourselves down on the pitch next to the technical area and settled down with trays of beer to watch the game in the glorious sunshine.

    Straight away the goals fly in with Seves opener shortly followed by Pawlett and the celebratory drinks soon diminish our supply. As I went to get my round of beers behind the stand (plus some kind of hot dog) - I missed

    den den den den den den den den den den CAMERO's first and JDVs goal. Not to worry as the goal fiesta continued with bebo and den den den den den den den den den den CAMERO!!!! scoring at will against a team who were quite happy to accept the hammering. As the 7th went in I was having a conversation with their 'star striker' who was coming on for the last few part of the game and the manager. They didnt give a shit they had gone 7 down. The tempo was quite laid back so we entertained ourselves by offering our defenders (mostly Duff though) beers to see if that could help our new friends of Reitvogels.

     

    STUART! STUART! STUART!

    What?

    Do yih want a beer min?

     

    Duff beer for me, Duff beer for you, I'll have a duff and you'll have one too!

     

    The game was now shutting down and when Paton scored the final goals I had somehow missed one of

    den den den den den den den den den den CAMERO!!!!'s goals and started chanting we want ten for the Reitvogels manager to tell me that Paton had infact just scored the 10th to my embarrassment.

     

    At full time the players left pretty sharpish, and we then found out Snelders was at the game so went round and pestered him for photos and he told us of the time after being up to Pittodrie to watch the dons was driving back to the Hull ferry and stopped at the Forfar McDonald and to his shock Brian Grant opend the drive through window to serve him  :rofl: We than had drinks with all the Reitvogels staff and players, and just about missed the last train back to Arnhem. A great day out and when will I ever see the dons win by 10?

    You’re having a laugh, Stewart!

    DONS defender Richard Foster says the only way he will get a game for Scotland is if Stewart McKimmie gets the national manager’s job.

     

    Foster is the former Dons and Scotland hero tipped him to play a starring role for Scotland this year in his Evening Express column,

     

    But the 22-year-old believes there is little chance of national boss George Burley picking him ahead of Spurs’ £9 million man Alan Hutton.

     

    “Hopefully, McKimmie will get the Scotland job soon so that I can just slot right in!†he said.

     

    “It was nice of him to say I had a chance but I’m not going to put pressure on myself by setting my sights on getting involved with Scotland next season.

     

    “I will have enough to do getting myself established as the first choice right-back at Aberdeen. I want to play for my country, just like any other player.

     

    “To do that I would have to at least match the high standards Hutton has set.

     

    “It could take three months or three years. No one can be certain about these type of things.

     

    “It may even mean I have to wait until I’m into my late 20s, when most players are approaching their peak, but I would be happy with that because it would be a dream come true.

     

    “I’m a realist though, and know focusing on proving I’m good enough to play every week for Aberdeen has to be the priority.â€

     

    Foster has taken encouragement from manager Jimmy Calderwood’s interview in the Evening Express, in which he challenged Foster to prove he is good enough to take over from the departed Alan Maybury in the right-back position.

     

    Foster said: “I’m delighted the manager thinks I can do a job there. I will give it my best shot.

     

    “The basic elements of the full-back positions are the same but the good thing now is I will be playing on my more natural right side.â€

  3. okay bring yer pak-a-mak! or globe reds black bin bag with head and arm holes ;)

     

    another scorcher this afternoon  :thumbsup:

     

    Bags all packed and sat here at work. Got a wee carry out in the samples refrigerator for the train through to the weeg later on  ;D

  4. Never had any problems with the stewards at Ibrox, the police however is a different matter. Complained at being hit my a missile form above (AA battery) and the police man separating us from the huns said it wasn't his problem. It was his problem however when his mate 3 rows down was nailed on the back of the head by a coin again from above. He turned round looking at the Aberdeen fans and I just smugly pointed up to the tier above saying should have tried to stop it shouldn't you....
