    Clarkson

    Weirdly, i had a dream last night where Trump became president of the US, and Clarkson became PM of UK at the same time. It was fecking hideous.
  2. I will never, ever tire of watching that Hayes goal. Enjoy the day folks that are heading, ye bastards with yer shiny tickets and such. I'll be on the sofa.
  3. We're the ones with class, they're the ones with money.
  4. Have always thought Craig Brown was unduly slated as a manager for us - he was the right man at the right time to do all the thankless stuff to turn us around and set things up for McInnes, and should always be credited for such.
  5. There's a similar story on the BBC site today. I suspect this is a sensible bit of preemptive action to head off one avenue of attempts to unsettle the team pre-cup final day. Between this and the way the ticket split was handled, i'd say the club is getting a bit sharper at handling the media on these occasions.
  6. Oot Hoose Hoose Hoose/oot 1-1 (Dons win on pens). 2 Tic in-game penalties, one missed, Considine sent off in the 12th minute, Maddison 92nd minute equaliser, Rooney winning shootout pen. Media to ignore the fact that we win and focus entirely on the 2nd missed Tic penalty.
  7. Right age right enough. Don't know which position Strachan would play him in though.
  8. He was responsible for some of the dullest football i've ever seen from an international team. Yes he can get results, if draws and the occasional sneaked win are what you are after, but by christ it's boring. Football is supposed to be a form of light entertainment, not a mindnumbing test of endurance - i had enough of that from the Dons in the previous decade to be crying out for more.
  9. No Governor Jeb Bush to rig Florida for his big brother this time though.
  10. Not to play devil's advocate, but that one is already under offer and therefore not available. Possibly because of the housing shortage
  11. More on the strip from the BBC site today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37597392
  12. As others have said, he's definitely demonstrated that CB is his best position, and that he has turned out to be the best we have in that position too. I'm still bemused by the complete reversal of Reynolds, either he has been confronted by a sudden realisation of the prospect of his own mortality, or someone has cut all his hair off.
  13. County should have won it at the end - effectively two points dropped for County, although i'm sure it'll be portrayed differently at Traynorland.
  14. Just seen that - i think you're being a touch generous interpreting the final word as "question"
  15. Take that Chris you dour moaning git. Always on the back heel eh?
  16. Who's the miserable chunt commentating on BT sport? "1-0, barely deserved by Aberdeen"
  17. Varga was well before my time, but i would have loved to have seen him play. 1. God 2. Jess 3. Hmm... tough one, but rather than delve back into the selection box of the 80s (i'm in your 2nd age bracket cupidstunt ), i'd go with Russell Anderson. He had to endure some of the most torrid chapters in the clubs recent history, but stands with God as a player who embodied the club and its ethos, he gave his all for the Dons and playing for us was clearly his childhood dream. I was delighted for him when he finally got to hold a cup aloft as captain after so long trying, total Hollywood ending to his career.
  18. Personally, if i were looking for the root of a deeply embittered grudge against Aberdeen players from the Scotland staff, i'd look no further than MGoo.
  19. I guess if Shinnie can't get even a callup with his two main rivals for LB out injured at the same time (and Wallace gets preference ffs), then he never will under the ginger dwarf. I hope Deek didn't sell Aberdeen to him as a great way to increase his chances of being capped.
  20. Aberdeen taking over the Republic of Ireland squad again - Rooney, Hayes and Rogers called up to the squad for their WC qualifier against Austria. Shinnie must be weeping into his rowies by now.
  21. Hemmin, with a username like yours, if you dinnae ken, how do you expect us to?
  22. Tierney and Robertson now both out for 2 months due to injury, Shinnie surely the most obvious candidate to be called up to fill the gap for the England game. So i think i'll lump my money on Strachan moving Grant Hanley to left back instead.
