  1. OMG Jesus Christ and every other similar saying all rolled into one The likes of Livi and Falkirk must be rubbing their hands
  2. Winning the fucking lot It's what we're there for
  3. Bojan won't be returning, at least not at this point in his career. If he were to return to these shores then I would expect it to be a club in the top half of the English Championship. Wonder exactly how much of this "alleged" £6.8m fee we have actually banked ?

    Major Margaret "Hot Lips"Houlihan aka Loretta Swit. Loved her back in the day. You youngsters have probably never even heard of M.A.S.H If so, you haven't lived lads
  5. Whilst I think he could have done better, I genuinely believe we can do better also, so no hard feelings Jack, you leave as a cup winner and join a team who no longer have the manager that took you there. Good luck
  6. Don't have any axe to grind against any of those leaving and wish them every success** in their future career. ** McGrath less so, given he is going to a rival, albeit it is understandable why he has done this.
  7. Following the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, we can now provide a summer squad update. We are saying goodbye to first-team players Jack MacKenzie, Ross Doohan, Tom Ritchie, and of course, Jamie McGrath who confirmed back in February that he was leaving to join Hibernian. A local loon, Jack was a graduate of the AFC Youth Academy and after a brief loan spell at Station Park with Forfar Athletic, made his first-team debut against Dundee United in March 2021. Across the next four years, he was a regular in Dons’ squads, churning out a total of 123 games, scoring on three occasions, including a memorable strike at Ibrox in a 3-1 win in 2023-24. Jack’s early season form in 2024-25 earned him a call-up to the full Scotland squad for the games against Croatia and Portugal. Jack signed off his Dons career by lifting the Scottish Cup at Hampden on Saturday and collecting a medal as a fitting memory of his Dons career. Ross Doohan joined the club in the summer of 2023, initially as an understudy to Kelle Roos, then latterly Dimitar Mitov. The former Celtic, Ayr United and Tranmere Rovers stopper was used sparingly in his first season, turning out against Bonnyrigg Rose in the Scottish Cup before an appearance against Livingston in the season finale at Pittodrie last May. However, he would play a much more active role in year two, admirably covering for the injured Mitov, featuring in 18 of the Dons’ 50 matches, and never letting anyone down. Number three goalkeeper Tom Ritchie will also depart for the final time, having not made an appearance in the Dons first-team. However, he has enjoyed numerous fruitful loans at the likes of Huntly, Queen of the South, Peterhead, Buckie Thistle and Bonnyrigg that will be extremely beneficial in his future career. Lastly, after two seasons in red, Jamie McGrath has left for the final time. The 13-times capped Republic of Ireland International joined on a free from Wigan Athletic and has enjoyed a fruitful time in the North-east, playing 81 games, scoring 16 times and laying on eight assists. The Dons were keen to retain the midfielder, but a lucrative and lengthy offer in the capital has tempted him south. Also returning to their parent clubs at the end of their loan spells, Kevin Nisbet (Millwall), Oday Dabbagh (Charleroi), Jeppe Okkels (Preston NE), Alfie Dorrington (Tottenham Hotspur) will depart. Also moving on are some members of our development squad. Youngsters Blair McKenzie, Evan Towler, Victor Enem, Fraser Mackie will depart Pittodrie on conclusion of their contracts next month. Dons boss Jimmy Thelin said: “We would like to thank each and every player leaving the club for their effort and contributions whilst with Aberdeen and wish them all every success in their future careers. “Some of these boys have been here for a long, long time and departing a club is always emotional. But they can look back with pride and I am so pleased many of them are leaving with a winner’s medal from last weekend.” THE FOLLOWING PLAYERS WILL LEAVE WITH THEIR CONTRACT EXPIRING: Jack MacKenzie Ross Doohan Tom Ritchie Jamie McGrath Blair McKenzie Evan Towler Victor Enem Fraser Mackie THE FOLLOWING PLAYERS’ LOAN PERIODS ARE COMING TO AN END: Kevin Nisbet Oday Dabbagh Jeppe Okkels Alfie Dorrington
  8. Aye, probably the chance to get him cheap given he was at another of Bloom's clubs
  9. Class from Dorrington. Welcome back anytime.
  10. Kabangu signs three year contract at Hearts as Jambos exercise the purchase option included in his loan agreement. Hope they've paid a right few quid for him.
  11. Just been sent this. Even for a Tim this is a whole other level of entitlement
  12. Neale James Cooper Seven years ago today. Taken far far too young. Bet he had tears in his eyes watching down on Saturday
  13. Despite being a Kiwi
  14. Fuck me, what's Scottish football coming to when you can't attend a Ross County V Livi match without encountering weapon wielding "fans" brawling in the street outside the ground
  15. Maybe one of the top division clubs seeking a new manager might fancy approaching him. Do you think he could do a job at Ibrox
  16. Much as it pains me in this instance, I can't really disagree with that summary Rico. Having said that can't say the prospect of visiting the Tony Macaroni Bowl again particularly appeals to me
  17. Scott Burns saying all our loan signings are returning to their parent clubs. Deal for Nisbet unlikely owing to costs involved Ronan Hale anyone now that County confirmed as being relegated
  18. Cove goalkeeper Nicholas Suman signed under freedom of contract. Can't help but think we must be signing a.n.other keeper as well. Don't know anything about Suman is he coming in a number two choice or are we signing another keeper
  19. Second summer signing incoming
  20. Well I'll soon see if my mate is a man of his word or if he caves in and renews his season ticket
  21. So where does everyone fancy heading. I've been to a fair few places with Aberdeen but the twice I can remember us drawing Italians I haven't been at the away games. Juve in the early seventies even I was too young Torino in the early nineties, had a young family to keep a roof over their heads and to feed I know, a shocking lack of priorities on my behalf
  22. Rico is available although might not be fit for a full ninety minutes any longer
