I think yer underestimating the demand from the county fanbase which covers Ross-shire and a large chunk of Caithness & sutherland. so long as its not a stupid kick off time i reckon there could be up to 10000 county fans there and if tickets are scarce I dont want to be taking one from an actual county fan.

why would anyone want to go to beauly???

well if I can get a ticket ill be in with the county fans at Hampden. Tempted to go along to Firhill on saturday to sit with the caley fans and perhaps even go to Cappelow on the 13th to see county. Sidenote Last day of the season Inverness Caley vs Dundee. Good luck Chisholm

The entire barcelona squad The entire Real Madrid squad The entire Man United squad and Russel Anderson

My theory is it vanished as soon as he got a permanant contract. Soon as he signed for us in his eyes it meant he wasnt good enough for the premiership or championship so was doomed to either 3rd tier english or SPL. Then the whole fiasco with the Nigeria squad earlier this season and basically his dreams were stamped on. Unfortunately while some young players can accept they wont be world cup winners and just make the best of their situation, he seems to be going the other way. If hes not careful he will end up alongside the likes of Leon Mike about 3 divisions below the conference.

Did Stuart Hall write that?

Rangers down to NINE men come on st mirren!!!

Young may be bad but at least he looks like he cares and gets stuck in. Ill have that over apparent 'talent' that doesnt bother turning up, any day

The number of new individual threads of people ranting that Mcghee should fuck off posted before the world cup starts?

St Johnstone being a bit optimistic about our travelling support

Its called support jaeger Its all fine and well to type up your rants and wishes for Mcghee to fuck off on the internet but thats all it ever is. Text on a computer screen. You feel so strongly then start a protest group, write a letter to the club, set up a meeting with stewart milne but at least do something more constructive then 'oh has it come to this blah blah blah' I dont like Mcghee as a manager. i didnt think he was anything special that first season at Fir park yet many of those around me were all bitching about him doing wonders with mortherwell while we were stuck with calderwood. However hes here now and Im prepared to give him 2 seasons to chop 'n' change. I can criticise his tactics (as If I know anything about tactics), I can moan when we lose and my personal favourite is thinking 'what a thick cunt' everytime I see some quote in the newspaper but hes here to do a fucking hard thing which is turn the likes of Mackie and co into a team that can do something other than be the 'best of the rest' and I dont expect anyone to do that in less than 2 seasons. Hes certainly not going to do it if after less than 30 games hes being told to fuck off. The next guy comes in and next year we are the same so hes told to fuck off and so on and so on and before you know it we are QPR. Im going along tomorrow and he'll get my support through the 90mins same as Hegarty, Skovdahl, Patterson and Calderwood got (and I only liked 1 of them).

Hindsight is a great thing isnt it. Come back with this post this time next season if or when Motherwell are still firing on all cylinders. Browns club managerial record reads as follows Clyde - After 5 years he got them promoted to the 1st division where they stayed until he left 4 years later Preston North End - 12th & 15th before leaving due to a shit start of the 2004-05 season. Billy davis get the same squad of players to the playoff final. 5years of retirement, punditry and generally just being old craig Motherwell - Decent team already and is continuing where Gannon and co left off. Couple of seasons ago the same stuff was being spouted about Mcghee and Calderwood. Ask yourself this? Is it really all Craig Brown or is it a combination of Craig Brown and players who actually give a fuck about their football careers. Let us not forget that their current Goalie and 10 goal striker are on Everton's books and are either looking to finally get a permanant move somewhere else or show Moyes that they deserve a spot in the premiership. I can and will criticise mcghee at will but the last manager i was behind completely was Mr Skovdahl. At the time I seem to recall alot of the fans were backing him because of his past record with Brondby even when we were getting humped left right and centre. 2 trips to Hampden in the first season glazed over out league position but the next season we went from Bottom to top of the bottom 6. Next season we were 4th. Season later while sitting 9th we sacked him for Patterson. Which as i seem to remember was not a popular decision given the chants from the stands at his last game in charge. Perhaps he got it easy because of Alex Miller and Paul Hegarty before him (perhaps even Roy Aitken even though he got us 3rd place and a league cup) but he was given time and allowed to bring in his own players. Some good, some not. But I digress. Despite the shit results we've had since January Ive found myself starting to enjoy the matches Ive seen recently a bit more because people like you seem to be absent from the terraces. If we can just get rid of the cunts who spend 90mins picking on individual players (Aluko at Hamilton) then the end of the season may see things turning. If you aint got anything constructive to say other than 'someone else got a new manager and hes doing better than ours. Our manager should fuck off' then just keep your mouth shut. We always say we need to be beating the so called lesser teams. Well finishing in the bottom 6 will give us 5 extra games to practice against them. My biggest issue with Mcghee is he apparently keeps talking to the press (I say apparenlty because I think all journalists are essentially liars from the start). If he and the rest of Aberdeen FC or even scottish football can stop giving these typewriting monkeys anything to work with then they will actually have to do their job properly and cover real news and perhaps the negativity and inhouse belittling can turn to 'right lets see if this works, if not fuck it well try something new instead of 'oh no we wont change because if we do we'll get ripped apart in the press and the fans. 40 years of following us through thick and thin (allegedly) and yet you cant even give a new manager 1 full season without declaring him a failure. Will you be waving your white hankie from the Mcdiarmed park stands tomorrow should we lose?

While trying to get into my office I had to sidestep a far few huns fans coming out of Partick station at around 1320 having obviously left when it was 3-1 and 'game over'. Makes me feel warm inside to think of the looks on their faces as they watched the rest of the game from places such as stumps, hayburn vaults or the Rosevale. Side note. United only about 1000 fans there. Is it the case that they were only given that amount or were they offered the full 5000 they are entitled to but couldnt sell them?

Im waiting to see the legal ramifications if Trump etc try to obtain 'Compulsory purchase orders'. pretty sure they aint available except for the likes of Airport expansion, new railways, roads etc. Considering Arsenal had to buy every single house and business premises AND purchase new houses/ industrial units for those they moved (bet they even had to pay for pickfords too) so they could build the Emirates Id like to see how far trumps effort goes. And since this is an area of natural beauty as opposed to a pretty shite urban sprawl id like to think this turns out like the film 'the castle'

How fucking easy is it to be a sports journalist these days Ill cut the EE some slack since its a 'local rag' but the BBC is fucking appauling and its all because of stories like these. Im sure I dont recall daily 'manager thinks win at weekend will give team 3 points', or 'Player hopes that he might win cup final one day' stories Anyway has anyone really been giving Mcghee pelters because Dougal has scored a few goals since going on loan? I dont recall him banging them in when he was here (even when calderwood was in charge) and call me unsupportive or cynical but I seriously doubt playing several games for Kilmarnock is going to turn him into Drogba or Rooney come summer. My money is on him ending up at Rugby park permanantly and in later years if he escapes the cull to the 3rd division, maybe he will become the new Jim Hamilton.

Pause it at 1:51 for a quite depressing sight Never looks as bad when yer there Really cannot believe the commentator makes a big deal of their penalty claim before our goal. We got the ball and I dont recall a single hamilton player claiming anything and yet they decide its worthy of a replay but decide to miss out the bizarre late offside decision against us which Mcclean and co were fucking livid with the linesman for

:lolabove:

Alot more vocal than we were at Falkirk 2 weeks ago though

is this a suspesion of just in general? Anyone going to venture down/through to this? yes Which Aberdeen team will turn up? same one thats turned up to every game ive seen this season. (only seen 2 goals) And will we get some points on the board? Im expecting fuck all

Is Mcghee spending every evening in the Aberdeen Journals offices?

Original - Pig bag: Papas got a brand new pig bag But brought back into football when ITV were using this cover in the 1994 league cup coverage Perfecto allstarz - reach up

Portsmouth were fucked over by several people being allowed to 'buy' them based on 'aye we're rich, im telling ya...but I aint got my bank statement handy ya know'. They may have been rich via oil but they werent an oil company. The boy Thompson invested lots but did fuck all to help uniteds financial situaiton (see the interview with his son a few weeks back). They are still in debt and continue to lose money and the Thomson family aint exactly pleased that old dad essentially burned the £30million he got for MN&N. Jack Walker did the same for Blackburn same as Abramovich and the arabs are doing for chelsea - who cares if we lose money and rack up debts just so long as we win. And that ladies and gentlemen is the curse of modern football. Investing is one thing, owning is another. Shell, BP, Esso etc were new in town back in 1980 and what better way to really get the public behind them by getting their name attached to Alex Fergusons all conquering side. 'not only do we give ya jobs and money but we also like yer soccer team etc etc'. But nooooooooo. From what ive heard the donalds werent exactly grateful for the offer and didnt just burn the bridge but also shot all the bridge builders and the fire dept trying to put it out. Connocophillips will eventually fund Grimsby towns new stadium. They also have their names attached to several stadia in the US as well as youth facilities, schools, universities etc Tokyo FC are sponsored by one of Japans major oil firms and Ill lay a bet that around the world there will be other sports teams backed by that countries oil industry.

These arent oil companies. These are engineers and suppliers of exploration and drilling equipment who work for oil companies. Oil company = Shell, BP, Texaco, Esso, ConocoPhillips, Total, ExxonMobil etc

For me the next level was to get our players to start taking shots Why does ricky foster not bother with his 40yard efforts anymore? Why do none of our strikers want to take a shot unless they are less than 10yards from goal?

Apparenlty it was offered back in the early 80s but the old Donald family essentially told them to fuck off because football sponsorship by independant companies was a ridiculous idea If this is indeed true then it ranks up with the Ayr united board of the mid 80s telling an up and coming business man with the surname Murray to fuck off for similar reasons. So he promptly did to his second choice down Govan way. Only chance of an oil company investing in this club is if they need the land in and around pittodrie to build a new refinery Why would ABERDEEN-SHIRE COUNCIL see a stadium being built in the ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL jurisdiction as any kind of compromise to fucking up Balmedie?
