And hey, don't let the results and our resultant SPL position get in the way of your ostrichising and your personal crusade. We lacked so much yesterday. They weren't even good and they still took 3 points. This is a results business, as it has been for ever.

Not one of them put in a shift that was worthy of any award. Not enough options to vote. I go brown.

You should have a pre-nup imposed on you by Alec Salmond. The Republic of Caledonia forbids this pair to have children. She is either feeble-minded or as equally depraved as you, to offer her consent. Actually, knock yersels oot. You're a weegie bum boy public schoolboy faggot and therfore excluded from an Aberdonia passport. Your spawned offsring might be interesting though, in a keechy, jobby type of way. Diversity? We love a bit of it. Get her up the duff. If ye're still able.

Fuck me. Is this not the day you got married to Tabatha Jessica Jane? And you're online? Day I got married we watched Sportscene before business. I could go on but it certainly would be too much information.

Pussy! I am reminded of the Monty Python sketch with licking tut road clean then get stabbed up t'arse with broken Newkie broon bottle. The Hamilton game in January was way colder than today. It's the degrees of coldness in between that you are failing to appreciate.

That may have been the official number, but don't believe everything they tell you. Being so bored with the first 5 minutes and 48 seconds, I decided to count the crowd, individually. So I left my seat, went to the end of the SS and started, row by row, to count the crowd. Certain fucking bastards were coming and going for pies and bovril and pisses and that, and presumably the odd dump, so it was never going to be exact. And I also underestimated the length of time it takes to do this thing. I also forgot where I was at 3.27 so had to start all over again. But at 20 to 5, having done the SS and RDU and RDL, and halfway through the Main Stand, some absolute bastards started leaving. I shouted for them to stay, but they fucking ignored me, and looked at me like I was a fucking nutter. Cunts. Anyway, it was mission unaccomplished, unless any of you can provide the exact personnel in the Merkie, and from the Main Stand D Row GG onwards. But if there were as many there today as the Sunday 1-1 draw with Celtic QF (10,909 apparently), then I'm a fucking madman.

No I don't. First game of the season for me today, and apart from a couple of off-field highlights, it was pure pisch. No fight, no skill, no organisation, no luck. Hibs were really ordinary, and they leave with 3 points. I have no idea of the crowd size but it looked sub 10k. We have major problems. I find it hard to get motivated, as the rot has become institutionalised. The hard part is that I know the club needs support. I just don't believe in them.

Never in the history of the internet has there been evidence to back you up. For a start, with fitba forums being as they are, anyone can post as much or as frequently as they like. If some are bludgeoned into an early grave, then they were wrong in the first place, or they failed to get enough support. Confidence in having a view is a good thing, surely? The insecurity of others in not challenging a view is another matter altogether.

Read it? I fucking wrote it. Watch & Learn.

Lee Miller's greatest contribution last season was certainly not his goal scoring. Against Celtic in the SCQF was a good example. He set up, with the deftest of touches, our goal at Pittodrie, and in the replay, where we had so few opportunities it was scary, he put in a tireless shift as the main target man from punts upfield to try and relieve the pressure. Mackie's goal came from the only real opportunity we had to score - the only opportunity where if he missed, we would have been spewing. Even his last minute miss on Saturday at the same venue wasn't as easy as the one Miller stuck on a plate for him in the replay. We got through to the semi v QotS as a result of a sublime piece of work by Miller, a short pass that literally won the game. Miller's goals to games ratio obviously needs to improve, but his work in providing opportunities was fantastic last year. It's a shame there is no natural predator working alongside him.

After an afternoon dealing with the fake moral outrage clan and the sympathy providers, my position of apathy had strengthened. And Bobby, you take the Biscuit. Still not forgiven and forgot, eh? Well don't speak shite to total strangers then. Ronaldo's a poof.

Why does anyone care if he sorts himsel out or not? Fuck him. He has zero redeeming qualities. Fucking loser.

They tried to make me go to rehab but I declined. Get well soon, Stevie, or not, as the case may be. If you do recover, try smiling. Genuine ones, the ones without the moroseness behind your eyes. Discover happiness too. Me suspects he is in terminal decline.

Factual. Accurate. Uncontestable. Thank you Michael Grant, for telling it like it is. If Milne's fifth manager starts failing, then some might look beyond the manager, but all four have been thoroughly and spectacularly incapable.

But Riordan is a good player, with the potential to be a great one. What value do you think? His value is what someone is prepared to pay for him.

But if SAF had him for a decade say, the child within may have been moulded into a man. No drink culture tolerated, and the introduction of basic self-discipline, something always lacking from the clown-child, may have turned his life around towards positive life-habits. Sadly for Gascoigne, no-one will ever know. I blame cinq bellies.

Heard Sir A saying how Gazza might have benefited at 19 by choosing Man Yoo instead of Spurs and the London bright lights. On such mad decisions, the seeds of madness are sown... or at least, the existing seeds are not prevented from flourishing.

If for footballing ability, I thank you for the compliment. If for personality and post football record, I urge you to stab a red hot knitting needle into your defective cock.

Can't think of any examples where it's worked but there's boiund to be some. Understand the logic of giving regular starts to players, but isn't that what the reserves is for? It's not as if our squad is that big.

How about a board that gives money to finance the basics, followed by a manager who can spot a decent player. No, too much to ask...

I don't play for Aberdeen either, although I used to grace Pittodrie, once for my country. I can't play anything anymore. I'm Paul Gascoigne.

You're right but I'm trying to remember why Jess and Booth never really looked raw. Jess was 18 I think when he banged them in at the old East End Park in a 4-1 win in November 1990. (Trust me, I'm not one of these anal date and stats keepers, but there is a good reason for me remembering this one). On the other hand, Neale Cooper was 16 when he came on at Anfield, and Yonny Hewitt and Andy Dornan were thrown in at 17. In England, Rooney and Walcott were bled young and whilst these two are exceptional talents, I reckon the best managers, particularly confident ones who are not afraid to make mistakes, believe that if they're good enough, they're old enough. Another view regarding "learning on the job" with regard to football might be "learn what"? They know the rules. Lets not get too scientific and just let them out to play, to express themselves and use their natural youthful exuberance and pace to fly at the game. Obviously with experience comes crunch-avoidance skills and knowledge of your team-mates and when and where to release them etc., but throwing them in to the deep end will establish if they have the mentality to sink or swim. Josh Walker aged 18 ran the show v. Hamilton on his AFC debut, where it appears certain AFC stalwarts got their noses out of joint. The best and most exciting youngster I saw in recent years, all the back to Kenny Miller at Hibs, was an AFC reject called David Templeton. He was 15 when AFC said he was too small, and went to Stenhousemuir. I was going through a "can't take this shite every week" phase at Pittodrie for a while and went to Montrose v Stenny and with 25 minutes to go, this 16 year old Templeton came on. He was amazing. Quick and able to run with the ball glued to his feet, with a sublime touch. They won 2-0 and I thought I was witnessing a star in the making. I heard he went to Hearts last year so its a name i'm looking out for. Youth should not be a barrier. Maguire has something. It's why others are rumoured to be after him. It's why I despair at "fans", on the internet, probably computer game enthusiasts - the most unconstructive use of time and waste of energy ever devised by feeble minds for feeble minds - people with virtual perspectives, who criticised Maguire so heavily before he had even had three full games under his belt. I wouldn't normally give a fuck what these gas people think, but when they get in the road on an ABERDEEN FC chat site, they just need to be kicked in the head.

The criticism he got on these internet forums was evidence of feeble minds. Like Duff, JDV and Mair, some internet experts think its cool to criticise players before they've had two consecutive full games. However, the booing that Mackie got when subbed v. Motherwell was the worst embarrassment I've ever had as a Dons fan. It is obviously the younger "fans" who are capable of this, but I wonder if role of the internet assists them lose their tiny minds? Nah, probably just another symptom of the gas generation.

Unique viewpoint. It is Milne that got us into this. I still don't understand how we got as far in debt as we did, to now be totally beholden to Milne. You're right, Milne doesn't seem to care about the football. Over the whole 10+ years of his tenure, this has been consistent. Top 6 finishes and cup runs are producing an operating break even, despite the huge number of non productives on the payroll. We must have made a £2m+ profit this year surely. Investors will be dissuaded from investing. We've never been made aware of queues of people waiting in the wings. Don't see JC moving as a downside. Also don't think anyone who interviewed him properly would employ him. I also have no faith in the present board and its sham set-up.
