  1. Using the word fenian is just downright hunnish and afc 'fans' should not be using it at all. I heard someone shout it yesterday from somewhere quite near behind me so I turned and shouted out fuck off to ibrox with chat like that. Didn't hear it again but I left when Ferguson got his straight red.
  2. Never heard of him, any particular exploits stand out rocket?
  3. Lennon was great at what he did, mast bastard midfielder that broke up play and moved it on to the tech players in his team. Real leader too, I would have happily had him at Aberdeen as a player.
  4. The whole thing from start to finish has been about the lead the tory party takes full stop if you ask me Kow.
  5. Fair play to brown, that interview was pretty funny
  6. Loved the managers defence of shinnie yesterday.
  7. I heard a rumour a few months back that Mcleish has early stages of dementia. I'm not going to say the source but I will say it was credible.
  8. Wasn't just Leicester though was it (I would also add if we had won the league the same season as them in terms of resource our achievement would have been greater). In the past ten years athletico and montpellier have won their respective divisions against significantly greater resourced teams. For afc to win the league we would need to have an almost flawless league campaign and the good fortune that celtic were having an off season. It's not impossible, just pretty improbable.
  9. For singing 'Sad orange bastard' at Gerrard.
  10. It was a stalemate but I thought we played really well. Our structure was excellent and as for the slating of Mclennan I very much disagree. He made a few mistakes and lost the ball but overall I thought his attitude and drive was spot on and their rb didn't have a moments peace. Everyone's was though 2bh. Considine was an absolute rock today.
  11. Dreary first half, neither side could keep the ball. Best change was a long ranger from Ajjer that Lewis saved.
  12. Using generally hunnish language would be my guess.
  13. Tell more please.
  14. We are most likely going to lose, probably convincingly. Prove me wrong AFC
  15. tin hat on but I really didn't think we played that badly last night 2bh. We started poorly but came right back into it fairly quickly. When Hamilton scored what was either a complete freak (most likely) or a total worldie (and if he intended that it's a real contender for the best finish I have ever seen in Scottish football) it was massively against the run of play. For the vast majority of the rest of the game we were all over them but they defended pretty well to be fair. We made an absolute cunt of the second one though and if I feel any anger it's over that. All in I didn't think we did that much wrong and it was just one of those days where everything went against us. Cue vitriol. Is there any word on the Lowe's injury? The Mcinnes question is rearing it's head again isn't it? Understandably so. Still don't think wiggy will do anything other than offer him a new deal, I.E if he's going it will be on McInnes's terms. I have wondered if it is time for a change a few times this season though but, realistically, I have no idea who I would want in. Overall I don't think the support would be feeling brenda level disappointment if McInnes was to leave at the end of the season despite some good times with McInnes. The thing is sometimes a change is good if it's handled properly and that prospect can be quite seductive...... Especially after losing 2 scud at home to fucking Hamilton. Here's the question though: if he was to be leaving the club in the summer who would you want in to replace him? No chance on Clarke btw, he took the Killie job to be close to his parents in their final years as i hear it. Celtic would have appealing to him perhaps until the bigots of both colour all finally clocked on to the fact that the repeal of the OBFA means they can sing what they want again (i suppose we shouldn't be surprised it took so long to sink in) so he'll be away south when the time is right for him. There's not to many options i can think of at the moment 2bh. Put it this way, Tommy Wright would likely top a board shortlist if they were looking for a new manager right now and I'm well aware how a lot of of people on this board view him.
  16. Shinnie is the best option, I would play ball over gleeson though. What I think will actually happen though is a back 3 with mcginn as rwb.
  17. promoting youth from the ranks has never been something dm has been prolific with but I think McKenna has perhaps given him a wee bit more confidence. McLennan and Campbell are both getting good opportunity this season and Anderson must be in his thoughts for next season. Re Wright. The past is the past but all that really matters at the moment is that Scott Wright is doing very well at Dundee which is what we should be wanting to happen. He plays a blinder for the rest of the season he comes back to us buzzing and hungry to make his mark. I agree this move should have been done last season but such is life. I think Macinnes is capable of developing youth quite well 2bf, Cosgrove would be a good case in point and both Maclean and Christie left better players than when they arrived. His biggest black mark is shankland though, everytime i saw him in red he looked overweight compared to what he looks like now. If you're genuinely trying to give a kid the best shot you can you should at least be making sure they are fully fit.
  18. Let's be honest folks, there are no words in any language that can truly express just how horrid they are.
  19. El Kesicko has been a really enjoyable game to watch so far. 1-1.
  20. Aberdeen 1 Bobby Madden 3.
  21. Im feeling reasonably confident for this one. Past two games McInnes has had Gerrards number tactically and we are starting to look much more potent up top. Stewart has been great business and I thought he combined really well with Wilson against hibs. I've got to be honest and say I actually wouldn't mind if we went with GMS, May, Wilson and Stewart. The hun don't exactly have a settled back line at the moment and if Stewart gets anything resembling space (spoiler alert ; he will) he could have a field day playing the rest of them in. Defensively Hoban has to play in this regardless who's back from injury if you ask me. I thought he looked pretty classy and we will need that kinda calm against two excellent strikers. Indeed i would say Devlin has a battle on his hands for his jersey when he is fully fit if he keeps this form up. If McKenna is back that's great and he can go in for considine. It's a really big game this, arguably as big as the league cup semi. If we want to finish ahead of the tribute act then, realistically, I think we kinda need to win this one. no idea on score but fancy us to win.
  22. I know a Watford fan, he's my best pals cousin. I hadn't seen him since he was a teenager but his mum and dad moved up here a few years back and he visits quite often now. I always end up in a big football chat with him and he's really knowledgeable, even about Scottish football which is rare for an Englishman. Anyway, it was him that told me we had signed Hoban so asked him what he knew about him. He really rated him, said he was quite surprised by the move as he never looked out of place when playing epl for Watford.
  23. Mcall just said on sportsound that Wright is going to Dundee, app DM called him as IM was wanting him
  24. I honestly don't see why it costs so much. You could have refs looking at replays on a phone quite easily.
