  1. Not a single shot on target for Dons in truely awful performance.  Got a feeling a few of the Globe Reds will have something to say about it.  Wish i was as drunk as them watching that though!!

     

    I think we may have upset a few of the pro jimmy crowd  :thumbsup:

     

    I thought Duff was one of our best players. ???

     

    We had best players  ??? ???  :stretcher: :stretcher: :tumbleweed: :tumbleweed:

     

    Derek Young for me was the most woeful, but lots of the other guys on the train had valid reasons for voting for other players namely Duff and McDonald as Aberdeenladette says.

     

    My mate in the Dundee end text me midway through the 2nd half saying they were poor and we were poor and the game was clearly heading for a 0-0, and he was right. Worryingly I keep thinking that Bebo was our best player (simply because Seve was ok but in the wrong position) and that was him having his average game. Thats how poor we were.

  2. TEAM NEWS

     

    The second game in Aberdeen's pre season schedule kicks off tonight at Dens Park, as Dundee entertain a Dons team much changed from Saturday's encounter with Man Utd.

     

    Jamie Langfield holds on to the no 1 jersey on his old stamping ground, with Severin and Considine pairing up in the centre of defence. Stuart Smith was handed his first start at left back after impressing as a second half substitute on Saturday, while Lee Mair moved in at right back.

     

    New signings Mark Kerr and Gary McDonald maintained their partnership in the heart of midfield, while Derek Young and Stuart Duff took over from Jamie Smith and Jeffrey de Visscher respectively. Up front, Chris Maguire and Lee Miller renewed a partnership which was beginning to bare fruit towards the end of the previous season.

    Jimmy Calderwood even terug op het “oude nestâ€

     

    SV RIETVOGELS v ABERDEEN FC

     

    Op Donderdag 31 juli a.s zal het Schotse ABERDEEN FC onder leiding van Jimmy Calderwood aantreden tegen het 1e elftal van SV RIETVOGELS, getraind door Hans Jebbink.

     

    Jimmy Calderwood, behaalde in het vroege verleden als trainer van SV RIETVOGELS ook al goede resultaten en heeft deze lijn van successen ook bij ABERDEEN FC kunnen doortrekken en zelfs europees voetbal gespeeld.

     

    SV RIETVOGELS afgelopen seizoen kampioen geworden onder leiding van trainer

    Scot Calderwood (zoon van Jimmy), wordt het volgend seizoen getraind door Hans Jebbink, welke uiteraard als “coming man†een goed resultaat wil neerzetten.

     

    Het ziet er naar uit dat het publiek, welke in grote getale verwacht wordt, voor slechts € 5,00 entree, een geweldige pot voetbal met een enorme inzet van beide teams, kan verwachten.

    Om 19.00 uur zullen beide teams door de F-jeugd van SV RIETVOGELS naar de middellijn worden vergezeld, waarna dit voetbal spektakel kan beginnen.

     

    Tijdens de 3e helft is er natuurlijk gelegenheid tot napraten, maar ook om nog even oude herinneringen op te halen.

    Jimmy Calderwood back just on the "old nest"

     

    SV RIETVOGELS v ABERDEEN FC

     

    On Thursday 31 July a. s, the Scottish ABERDEEN FC will come forward under leadership of Jimmy Calderwood against the 1e team of SV RIETVOGELS, trained through Hans Jebbink. 

     

    Jimmy Calderwood, obtained in the early past as a trainer of SV RIETVOGELS in such a way good results and has these rule of successes also by ABERDEEN FC can impregnate and played even european football. 

     

    SV RIETVOGELS past season champion become under leadership of trainer Scot Calderwood (son of Jimmy), becomes the next season trained by Hans Jebbink, which naturally as "coming man" a good result put down want. 

     

    It sees there to from that the public, which in force expected becomes, before only € 5.00 entrance, a tremendous pot football with an enormous effort of both teams, can expect.  19.00 hour both teams will become accompanied by the F-youth of SV RIETVOGELS to the center line, after which this football spectacle begin can. 

     

    During the 3e half, there is repeat natural occasion till, but to get also yet just old memories on.

    Boredom and the internet, never a good mix, however I came across why flights to Holland are so damn cheap!

    God bless cheap airline price wars, £25 return - cant beat it (well you did  :thumbsup:)

     

    Also, I was talking to a Huntly player in the pub on Sunday and he told me we're playing them in our last pre-season friendly before the season starts. It's the day the highland league kicks off, they've got a free saturday so are playing us.

     

    That will just be reserves/youth team in that game.

  6. Had a quick scout around youtbue but could only find this poor footage of him scoring against Hereford

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=atJjgTtHLaU

     

    From a related video it looks like he have some silly celebrations when he scores

    Dan King, took up Darlington FC striker Tommy Wrights dance off challenge, but Tommy didn't show. That didn't stop Dan from going for it anyway on the streets of Darlington.

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vYUNoE4D69E

     

    It also looks like Darlington liked to stick him up front in a 4-5-1 formation when he was in favour.
