No way can Clangers walk straight back in to the first eleven. He will have to earn it, or alternatively Gonzo needs to totally throw it away

Nice one Dave Would love you to be under major "P" to keep this up to date, but some how i think this will be a piece of piss for you

Sorry meant to say, you're forgiven on account of three points in the bag

Dons first ever European scorer Frank Munro passes away
BigAl replied to mizer's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Missed that game Manc, was on night shift Seriously although it was in my lifetime, it was pre school days, pre attending matchs, and don't really remember him when he was with us. That aside, always sad to hear of the early passing of anyone connected to the club. RIP Frank -

Mawene: We held inquest straight after humbling by Hearts
BigAl replied to mizer's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
What will the learning be from this supposed inquest then I'm not overly hopeful that there will be any tangible ones, but hope to be pleasantly surprised. Moving onto Brown and Knox, they simply can't continue to trot out excuse after excuse. Is it time to start getting angry in an attepmt to get a reaction from the playing staff, or is this mediocrity and malaise that has surrounded our once famous club going to be allowed to continue unabaited ? Is it any wonder that crowds continue to dwindle game after game. 1800 odd dons fans showed blind faith in them on Saturday. Blind faith only lasts so long. I for one am getting severely pissed off with matters. The prospect of playing a game of golf on a Saturday afternoon (even badly) is far more appealing than sitting through this shite on a regular basis. -

FFS you couldn't make it up The curse of season 2010/11 continues Wonder who is next

Given the fact I've heard of Leigh Griffiths, he was always likely to be beyond us

I was trying to put a positive spin on things

A damning statement that Tyrant. Worrying if it were only one person coming out with that four games into a new season, but its not. I think that pretty much sums up the feelings of the large majority of the support. They had better get their finger oot pretty sharpish or the crowds are going to decline even further, and the club will fall further into the mire. Mediocrity abounds

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceo_Rigters Can't exactly claim to be overly excited by this prospect, but hey guess if he was that great we wouldn't be getting a sniff Heerenveen, Dordrecht and NAC BredaRigters started his football career at Eredivisie club, Heerenveen where he made his senior debut during the 2002–03 season. He had a short spell at Eerste Divisie club Dordrecht in the 2004–05 season. On 1 January 2005, he signed a four-and-half-year contract with Eredivisie club NAC Breda, where he scored just five goals in 61 appearances. Blackburn RoversRigters was signed by Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee on 2 July 2007, with the striker signing a four-year contract with the Lancashire club. He made his first official appearance for Blackburn Rovers in a UEFA Intertoto Cup match against Lithuanian club, FK V?tra on 22 July 2007 as a second half substitute replacing Benni McCarthy in the 65th minute. His first start came on 30 August against Finnish club, MyPa, in a UEFA Cup first round match, and he made his Premier League debut on 29 September. Rigters played only one more league game for the club that season on 11 February 2008, and after struggling to make an impact at the club, he joined Championship club Norwich City 19 March on loan until the end of the 2007–08 season. He made his first appearance for Norwich as a 78th minute substitute in a 5–1 win over Colchester United. However, in only his second substitute appearance for the club on 29 March, during a home defeat to Bristol City, Rigters lasted just fifteen minutes as he sustained a torn hamstring, and he subsequently returned to Blackburn for treatment. He since joined Barnsley however has failed to make a first team impact there. On 8 August he joined Barnsley on loan for the 2008–2009 English football Championship league season. In the summer of 2009, Rigters went on trial at Southend United but failed to earn a contract. In July 2009 Rigters was told he was free to find himself a new club. He subsequently undertook a trial at Southend in an attempt to earn himself a contract with the club. However the trial was not successful and he returned to Blackburn Rovers to wait for another trial offer. He then eventually returned to play for Blackburn on 2 January 2010 when he featured for 18 minutes against Aston Villa in the FA Cup Third Round in the 3–1 defeat. On 31 August, Rigters returned home to the Netherlands to join Willem II on a season long loan. On 1 July 2011, Rigters contract with Rovers ended, and he became a free agent. International careerRigters scored on his debut for the Netherlands national under-21 team on 5 February 2005 when he came on as a second half substitute in a 3–0 win over Russia Under-21s, scoring the third Dutch goal.[7] On 23 March he scored as the Dutch Under-21s drew 1–1 with Czech Republic Under-21s.[8] He was called up by under-21 team coach Foppe de Haan as a last minute addition to the squad for the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship on the eve of the tournament which was held in the Netherlands.[1] Rigters played in all three group stage matches, a 1–0 win against Israel Under 21s and a 2–1 win over Portugal Under-21s to secure a semi-final spot and therefore qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He won the penalty from which Ryan Babel scored the first Dutch goal and he scored the second Dutch goal of the match and was named Man of the match by UEFA.[7] In the last group match against Belgium Under-21s, Rigters scored in a 2–2 draw.[9] In the semi-finals against England Under-21s, Rigters scored a 90th minute equaliser with a bicycle kick to take the match to extra time and eventually a penalty shoot-out, in which Rigters also scored as well, and the Dutch team won the shoot-out 13–12. He was also voted Man of the match for the second time.[10] The Dutch went on to retain their 2006 title by beating Serbia Under-21s 4–1 in the final. Rigters scored the third goal, his fourth of the tournament, which put him ahead of England's Leroy Lita and gave him the Golden Boot as top scorer.[11] After the tournament he was named in the UEFA Team of the tournament.[12]

Dirthy Filthy Hun Scumbag Vermin (deceased), liquidated & Green abondons ship
BigAl replied to mizer's topic in Football Chat
Personally speaking I'd rather Der Hun kept him on account of being shite ===================================================== WEST HAM are preparing a £2million-plus bid for Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty. Hammers boss Sam Allardyce is a long-time admirer of the Northern Ireland ace and has contacted Gers about his availability. Rangers boss Ally McCoist is aware of the Upton Park club's interest but it's thought it would take a serious offer to tempt him to sell. McCoist is desperate to bring in players of his own - including another striker. Lafferty, a £3.25m signing from Burnley in 2008, finished last season in sensational form alongside Nikica Jelavic, with eight goals in the final ten matches to help clinch three in a row. However, a summer hernia operation put paid to his hopes of kicking off this season in similar style. Lafferty, 23. has two years left on his contract and hopes to be back in action for Gers' clash with Motherwell on August 21.

Far too subtle Dave

Typical day then
-
Sounds like a real bad one. I'm with Mizer on this one, good payer for us, but a poor captain. Nae axe to grind against him, and wish him a speedy and fill recovery.

You are correct Jute. Brown has played him there on at least one other occassion.

Nice easy one then Lets do these Jute bastards

Foster: Play that badly against Celtic and we'll lose 9-0 again

In fairness ST "dismal" is one of the kinder adjectives you would have used if you'd had the misfortune to witness Saturday's performance.
