But it wasn't. Your enthusiasm is admirable but there are reasons why it didn't touch us. For me, it's too "tinny". I'm sure they did a better track or two than that shit. Sorry. Hated it.

Met a cunt I've never liked half an hour after the game. I went from one pub to the other, he was there and as he was preparing to leave - after proudly saying he was flying out for the San Marino game, me saying I'll never watch Scotland ever again as I was embarrassed to be Scottish, him saying he couldn't understand that and me pointing out he wasn't even fucking there (Amsterdam) - the boys next to him picked a bone. This cunt is a hun, which I know cos he drinks in the least busy pub in the region and he (and his son apparently, who I've never met, don't want to but had fucked off by the time I got there) and he was blaming Bain for the defeat. I said I'm Aberdeen, it gives me no pleasure to say this but AFC players were responsible for all three. When I said Bain wasn't at fault for any of them, the hun's detractors and opponents grew magnificently. The hun fucked off sharpish, weak, weak cunt that he is.

No deal is the only way. Get the fuck away from the EU. Deal with the countries and the people. They will buy whisky. We will buy cars. The unelected cunts like barnier and junker are the problem. They cost too much. If we had the balls to implement "the will of the people", the French and the Dutch will be next. We don't want or need a tertiary level of bureaucracy.

To be fair to McKenna, he was just being honest, being himself. The pundits will slaughter him for the third but the truth was, he switched off at the first too. He was so focused at keeping up the arse of his man, he didn't have the imagination to anticipate what was happening and his instinct was so defunct that he didn't start back-pedalling. Scott's just a big thick unit. He did his best. He's just not international class. Shinnie's mare today may have been partly due to him not having played in that position for so long but let's be honest here, we've all seen him produce shite performances in the last 12 months (but rarely before that). He's not international class either. Bad day at the office for AFC contingents. Forget Brexit, Ecksit is obviously required. He's a thick drunk soak. Scotland continues to be consistent in its shit quality.

If non-professionals like us can see that Wilson is fucked and damaged goods, we can reasonably expect a professional manager who sees him day in day out to see this.

3 x goals ALL down to AFC howlers. Fucking embarrassing.

He was at fault for the both the goals but from the 11th minute onwards, he's not made any further fatal errors.

Looks like he'll be starting in his best position for Scotland the morn!

The Full English with 'Arry's vets was tragic viewing. But addictive too. Such sad creatures many of them. And quintessentially English, which alone makes them unlikeable.

My passing won't be in there. It's only you non-thinkers who use "newspapers". The world moves on and the print media is dying if not already dead. Whatever your Nostradamus properties might be, mine would guess that I'll learn more, love more and enjoy more life in the next 12 weeks than you can muster in your whole sorry sad-ass life. As you don't retract your ridiculous Islamaphobic sentiments, we can safely deduce that you stand by them. As I said, you'll find your kindred idiots on a busier forum. Like that nips an tatties cunt, you've done too much damage to yourself now. Goodbye

Just read the first 20 odd pages. Thanks for the rec. I think I'm going to love it

This is not "pseudo-intellectual". It's very simple, written in a vocabulary that even a thick cunt like you can understand. So redeem yourself TC, or just fuck off and die.

Apart form every one of the 31 days in January and the majority of days since, according to my Drink Tracker App. You're confusing this forum with the hat. Another feature of your bigoted small-minded non-thinking class and how you conduct yourselves on the internet is that you "fabricate, repeat and believe". Just because you say that I have a drink problem doesn't make it true. The fact that you say it immediately after being exposed as a fool won't save you. The onus is upon you to retract what you said or prove that you knew what you were talking about. It's not Rico's fault that you said it. As he correctly predicted, you can't handle the truth and as we have all seen so painfully, you have made a massive spasticus of yourself. At least minijc admitted when he was being a dick and whilst he tried to mitigate it by saying he was "just a baby", to see a grown man like you behaving like a total dick is tragic in the extreme. I think "grow up" was counsel that you continue to ignore.

6 just played this. Indigenously lovely.

No I didn't but I intend to. Ended up going on to Fleabag and then Big Sky, which featured (mentioned) James Turrell who's work I saw at Voorlinden two weeks ago, a Sky room compete with the benches etc. Amazing. Agree re great quote Seabass No Milne is not and has never been pulling in the same direction. It was him who first described the football as "the product" 23 years ago. It was he who proposed a relocation to Kingswells more than 20 years ago when the paint was barely dry on the RDS. He doesn't understand the five pillars of quality or even what the boy was talking about about successful organisations. Milne got rich by schmoozing and sucking the right planning committee dicks, by using and abusing contractors and by building shit and moving on. Football was NEVER an interest of his. He was never at Pittodrie until he wormed his way into our club, thanks to Baby Donald being a spoiled establishment-wannabe public-schooled fuckwit.

I watched a great programme last night where Ryan somebody, a disabled conceptual artist gave a brilliant synopsis of the effect of smartphones and social media, how it relates to self and narcissism and the changes it's making to modern society. You can get it on iPlayer, channel BBC4.

Couldn't agree more. Further, there is inevitably going to be "natural wastage", where some fans who went to Pittodrie will not bother going to the new Ikea. Some will stop going for reasons of geographical convenience, others will have a fixed mindset and only went latterly out of the routine, whether that be the Kings bar or Pittodrie bar or the golf clubs etc. before and after. The business of AFC needs to attract as much support as it can get. Without the product inspiring people to want to see it, it will inevitably recede. The biggest collection of AFC in recent times was 43k of us at the Red Parkhead. I found it astonishing, seeing how many we had right round the whole stadium that day. It would have been easy to decry them (as I used to do) for not supporting the cub week in week out, thinking of them as glory-hunters. But that day, it showed me how much potential the club could have if we were all pulling in the same direction, which should be the culture and indeed is one key aspect that is insisted on by the best leaders. I just don't see the missing thousands returning when we move and I fail to understand how anybody can be stupid enough to think that a brand new support will come to Ikea that will be bigger in number than the folk we have lost and will continue to lose. Any newbies won't even exceed the number that quit just because of the move alone.

Very true but lest we forget, it's the arseholes who are the most vocal and therefore what we remember. The vast majority at Pittodrie are NOT dicks but the likes of Ally McCoist, Kris Boyd and particularly Tam Cowan - there will be many others, mostly from the west of Scotland - consider ALL Aberdeen fans as dicks so the last thing we should be doing is adding to that myth, about our own.

I saw on the highlights on Saturday that McGinn cupped his ears towards our own fans immediately after he scored, thought better of it and desisted. It wouldn't surprise me if there is still a disconnect between the players and fans. There was a deep one when Calderwood and Miller were insulting us. Aberdonians are insular and parochial but we pay their wages and the culture of every successful organisation understands that "total involvement" is the second of the five essential and critical requirements, described as the five pillars of quality by Tom Peters. We should all be pulling in the same direction but it doesn't surprise me that we're not.

You should fuck off and either die or stay on the hat where nobody listens to you anyway you racist thick useless cunt.

Easy to confuse spirituality with organised religions. That's a mistake I once made before I grew up.

Good post. There have always been numpties in general and therefore any big gathering of people will find some. It's not the fans who are relevant here but the club management. That quote is no longer applicable. Under Dick Donald, we were a very well run club, pragmatism and common sense being the key foundations. We were ambitious too and strived to be the best we could be. When Ferguson came, he shared that positive ambition and delivered success on a scale that was almost unimaginable but the seeds had been planted by some excellent football in the years before. I always say that the best football I ever saw at AFC was the fifth year post SAF, the 90/91 season which ended tragically at Ibrox, the worst game I've ever been to. Perhaps our soul died that day, when Smiffy showed cowardice and Jocky Scott walked out on him. The culture over the last three decades has been the polar opposite of what AFC once stood and strived for. Milne doesn't have the same values nor ambitions. The football isn't important to him. We had a soul and we could touch, see and smell it for a decade and a half. It's been a dead club for 2.5 decades in my view, treading water and underachieving massively. Having newly decided to walk away, I'm amazed it's taken me this long. The sense of liberation and freedom I've discovered in the last few days, knowing I'll not go back to Pittodrie won't ever get me back the amount of time, money and frustration I've wasted in the last 20+ years but I'm looking forward to watching live football without having a vested interest. Unfortunately I can't watch live games as often as I did because Aberdeen are my closest team but my love for football won't die. The soulless Milne and his hapless succession of managers killed my love for AFC though. Will probably watch them when they're on the telly for a while but I look forward to the day when I don't even want to do that.

You should quit while you're behind! "Stay and make their own countries better" is another give-away that you are no more educated that the millions who read the tabloids. Take comfort in the fact that your ilk are the majority in the UK and that the views you have are common amongst your class, which, for the sake of clarity, is the non-thinking class, unable to think due to gross ignorance. But like the example given above, immediately after your staggering first post, you at least have a voice. It's just not one we want to hear, riddled with pathos as it is.

1. Nobody is saying it not for any reason involving courage but because it's not true. 2. You should understand what the Serbians did to Muslim people in very recent history to understand why it's very silly to describe that part of the Balkans as a "safe haven". 3. The best guarantee of not coming across as racist is not to be racist.

A Turk in Utrecht shooting people today in another act described as "terrorist". Is the price we have to pay these days that we might die in a random attack? Or is there ANY will to try and understand these things? I would start by finding out what drives these sick fucks. I am certain that correlations can be found. We can't solve any problem without firstly identifying what it is and then secondly acknowledging that it exists.
