TENEMENTFUNSTER

JC must be cutting Phil's grass. What a moaning cunt of a cunt.

Watch it, he'll gub you. I understand Phil was at the dentist yesterday to get a couple of teeth extracted, from the back of his hand.

He did "give it the biggun" when he scored but it wasn't the first time nor will it be the last players have a wee go at the opposition fans. Wonder when they will allow grown ups to fitba who can hand it out then take it back.

Put your rod away He did very well, put his looks at risk too

Hing on RS, I'm no romanticist with regards Calderwood, he has big failings, mainly his gub to be fair but I'm not immune to his shortcomings, very far from it. The tombola is hugely irritating but this has intensified this season as form and injury has really effectively fucked the defence, he has had very little choice but to move things around, including the keepers. That is possibly his only real success I can see in man management, bumping Langfield worked, he came back excellently and Soutar did also, he has been excellent since coming back. His treatment of Lovell appears harsh, his insistence on playing Maguire ahead of him annoys the fuck outta me, and yes I know he scored the winner on Saturday and he's still very young, but Lovell is better. Touzani mystifies me also, he plays great in midfield, gets either dropped or shunted to CH and has a 'mare there! Again, apparently unfair but this season with the number of games and key injuries and transfers he has had little choice in moving things about A BIT but it has seemed a bit much at times. My biggest gripe is his gub, which he does seem to be sorting but sometimes I wish to christ he would keep it zipped.

The league has been way short if disappointing, some of the performances have been just diabolical, especially away from home. That said, this season has still provided more money, 2 cup runs (3 if you count the UEFA cup, irrespective of our competitiveness) and we were still in 4 competitions in February. I don't for one second think that Calderwood lacks ambition either for himself or AFC, far from it. I just wonder how folk manage to come to that sort of conclusion. What would constitute Calderwood "showing ambition" and in what ways would that be reflected in the teams performance?

Got to agree. I arrived (pretty blootered to be fair) but ma nephew could have done better with the own goal. It was awful stuff.

What is a winning mentality? I suspect it is something the best players have and they are not free. I suppose you could have a "winning mentality" whatever that may be and still be a pretty mediocre fitba player, you'll get found out. You can only pish with the cock you have, we can only afford a certain level of cock and some folk would do well to appreciate that once in a while. Talk of mentality and attitude is all very well but if that isn't matched with ability, which costs money which the board are, for better or worse, unwilling to part with to either attract new players or keep our existing top performers, they will still be shit, you can pump your fists all you like, if yer shit, you'll get pumped yourself. I thought we demonstrated a will to win very late on Saturday and that was also a hallmark of last seasons performances with pretty much the same squad of players. Expectations of consistency/competitiveness etc with the size of squad we have and the number of games we have faced this season is just completely unrealistic. I also remember Coppell's comments, I accepted his logic without accepting that he was right, imagine qualification for Europe and not entering. Had JC said the same thing he would have been fucking pilloried.

Conversely, we were unbeaten at home against Dnipro, Lokomotiv, Copenhagen and Bayern Munich that sounds fairly competitive to me. We have also got to 2 cup semi finals with a realistic chance of making a final. By competitive in Europe, what do you mean? A realistic chance of winning a European trophy?

I suspect Hearts will do enough.

What a great bounce! All day!

Don't think there much doubt about that mate. We can only hope that regular fitba and maybe a cup final will be the edge we'll have over these other places.

First ever defeat to the deer fuckers beckons unfortunately.

Could you no pick someone else next time mate?

A period that also coincided with the arrival of Abramovich. Just finished Simon Kernick - The Business of Dying and Tom Cain - The Accident Man.

I have a superstition of sorts. Whenever I get a fucked up migraine during a match, especially a big one, we tend to win. United in the cup 3-2 Huns at the end of the season 2-0 Dnipro away 1-1 Tattie munchers in the cup 0-1

I've no internal dialogue about this season, it has been brilliant.

Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds

You have a cultural tour ya tube! You canny possibly miss that. Mark Spitz will be our guide.

Want to go on a cultural tour of Aberdeen the day we have our tickets for anyway?

This is pish. End of message. Short notice and usual short termist shite making a complete mockery of the Scottish game yet again.

Yes, deluded fools, that's what we must be to think Lovell is a good player, FFS, gies a break. He isn't getting a fair crack at it, limited by niggling injuries and JC and as Ajja said, our style of fitba. As has always been the case with Lovell, he needs a constant run in the team. That hasn't been forthcoming. I'd like him to stay as the replacement IMO won't be as good but he is proving more and more unreliable so I would not have any grumbles about him being allowed to leave.

They've been part of the team. Other than scoring against Bayern Munich, Lovell hasn't done much.
