Took the photo down, realised I prefer anonymity on the internet sometimes But yeh, top top guy

That's brilliant!! You should see him warming up to give training at FC Twente. Absolutely blistering training regime, the guy is still seriously fit. I asked him he wished he was still playing, and he said not at all. I was quite shocked, as most players are gutted they can't still play. His answer was that he didn't want to run out as a second rate player, when he knew he couldn't give his best anymore. He'd prefer not to play at all anymore, rather than showing up and letting himself and others down. Pretty cool answer. The guy is so down to earth too, it's unreal.

You are pretty much spot on with what you've said there. I was lucky enough to be round at Snelders house a few months ago and, perhaps naively, asked him about this time in his career. He answered fully, and it was really interesting. After listening, you wouldn't begrudge him in the slightest for what he did. He was told he was getting punted at the end of the season because, there was a massive chance Aberdeen were going to get relegated. He was told to look elsewhere, and was effectively put on the market. Rangers approached, and offered him security and champions league football. He agreed everything in principle, let Aberdeen know and that was that. Then at the 11th hour, Aberdeen changed their mind and started demanding that he stay. He had two options - stay with the club who days earlier weren't talking to you and wanted you out or go somewhere that have pretty much guaranteed you you'll get Champions League football (something he wouldn't get at Aberdeen) and job/financial security and, well.... The decision was already made for him. People just look at things on the surface, perhaps see a headline and jump to the most awful of conclusions about people who really loved our club. Snelders still logs onto the forums, he still loves our club. Seeing him described as a cunt would, I'd imagine, come as a surprise. But hey ho.... "Huck The Funs" must know something we don't.

The two in bold certainly aren't cunts. If by "cunts" you meant amazing, then I'm with you.

Looking forward to this!

BMG OR BIG?

Was thinking the same. When has Calderwood ever referred to "keyboard warriors"?

Some users on afc chat. How's that slagging off the site?

How do you mean?

Loving the fact that for some of the members on AFC Chat, it's "are you JMG or JIG?" "well, you know.... I'd like to see Calderwood replaced for the start of next season but..." "JIG OR JMG?!?!?! "

I see your list, and I raise you Michel Platinis French Shirt. Still smelly.

Fucking hell, cheer up some of you.

Haha, what on earth is all this shite?! Surely a one-off match on an artificial pitch won't be a problem?!

Speaking of which, has Simmie ever said anything publicly about *that* incident? Seems people now are cashing in on talking about past incidents, yet he hasn't once mentioned anything ever in the press about it (to my knowledge).

Few more for you lads http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2nnbLSxvKcM http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9BejUgSSobg Sounds daft but a wee bit emotional thinking about it all. The months ending last year and beginning this one were the best times of my life, genuinely. Worry I won't experience anything like it again for years yet
