To put it subtly slim... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck off! :thumbsup:

I think you mean Anyway, the lad looks like he can pick out a pass, but reserve games tell us absolutely nothing about how a player will perform in a truly competitive match, especially in the SPL. We all remember John Stewart don't we?

I like pie.

Completely disagree Jute, our defence is the worst I've seen it for absolutely years and it needs to be addressed before any other part of the team is bolstered.

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalm down! I'll be surprised if we amass more than a million for any player at any time in the next 5 years.

Aye, copying and pasting from other websites hasn't worked for a good while now, it just comes out all messed up.

Has the SPL ever actually started any earlier than mid August? I don't think it has in my time.

That's likely!

Todays "Chat with the manager" thing.

McGhee has said on RedTV that we wont be signing anyone till next summer so we won't be seeing these guys anytime soon.

At the very least McGhee should be getting results that match what Calderwood achieved. He's halfway through the season so we'll need to see how things go, but I'm not (a) happy with what he's doing on the pitch and (b) convinced that even with new players he can do anymore than JC. Also don't get caught up in the youngsters thing, he's playing them because he feels he has no other choice. If we get another midfielder in January then Fyvie will be picking splinters out of his arse for the best part of the remainder of the season, and similarly if we buy a striker, Paton will be alongside him.

I watched the redtv highlights, which consisted of the goals and nothing else. What a total rip off.

Ooooft, only 32? Brutal.

Hearts have now managed to catch us up through our own dumb-fuckery as well. Fucking raging.

Saying MiniJC is predictable is so predictable ffs.

6 points off the foot of the table.

I reckon Hibs will tear us to pieces.

No mention of Budgie.

http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/6d/2d/0,,10284%7E7875949,00.jpg[/img] Jamie Langfield'sheroics against Celtic last week certainly did his internationalprospects no harm after a superb show of resistance. Jamie of coursefollows on from a long tradition of Aberdeen keepers who havedistinguished themselves at Pittodrie through the years. What has beenremarkable in the long line of Aberdeen custodians is that there hasbeen on several occasions' two top class keepers at the club at thesame time. That is reflected in the various international honoursthat have come their way, even though they were never seen as firstchoice for Aberdeen. In the 1950's Fred Martin was the first Scotlandkeeper at a World Cup, while his understudy Reg Morrison was the firstever Scotland U-23 keeper. That was repeated in the 1980's with JimLeighton and Bryan Gunn. Kevin Stirling selects our top ten keepers to play for the Dons in the past… 1 Jim Leighton Younger Aberdeensupporters may not remember Jim that well apart from some older videofootage but his 91 caps for Scotland has Leighton in the legendarycategory and as an Aberdeen keeper he had no equal. Jim is perhapsbetter remembered for his part in the Aberdeen success in his firstspell at Pittodrie before he joined Fergie at Old Trafford in 1988. JimLeighton took over from Bobby Clark in what was always going to be atough act to follow, but Leighton went on to become al all-timeAberdeen and Scotland great. The most capped keeper ever in Scottishfootball and the most decorated Dons keeper, he played more than 500games for the Dons in his two spells stretching from 1978-2000. 2 Theo Snelders Arguably had the mostdifficult task in that he was signed as a direct replacement forLeighton. Alex Smith took a chance on Theo Snelders on therecommendation from Alex Ferguson and the £300,000 paid to Twente in1988 was a real bargain. Snelders presence in the box was his greatestasset and he went on to become a cult figure at Pittodrie as he easedhis way into the Holland squad for the 1990 and 1994 World Cups. Beforehis bizarre choice to become a Rangers reserve, Theo was in theAberdeen side that won the domestic cup double in season 1989.90. Theois still involved in the game these days, coaching back in his nativeHolland. 3 Jamie Langfield The current Aberdeenkeeper who created a record amount of clean sheets last season. Signedby Jimmy Calderwood from Dunfermline in 2004, Jamie has battled backfrom being transfer listed to become the No1 at Pittodrie and aScotland squad member. Langfield was previously with Dundee and hasalso been capped at U-21 level. Helped Aberdeen back into Europeanfootball in 2007 and again last season and named the RedTV/Northsound Aberdeen Player of the Year which was voted for by the fans. 4 Bobby Clark One of Eddie Turnbull'sfirst signings for the Dons, Bobby Clark went on to become a trueAberdeen great and in his final season completed a domestic set ofwinners' medals after a memorable season when Aberdeen won the leaguetitle for the first time since 1955. Clark was also the most cappedplayer at the club before Willie Miller broke that record in 1982.Played for Aberdeen for 15 seasons and awarded a testimonial in 1978,he also had a brief, aborted spell as a centre half in 1968 afterlosing his place to Ernie McGarr. 5 Fred Martin The first Aberdeenkeeper to play for Scotland at a World Cup in 1954, Fred Martin was ahuge factor in the Dons success in the mid 50's. Originally an insideforward Fred Martin returned after his National Service as a keeper ofreal quality. Under the guidance of the Halliday-Shaw regime, Martinflourished and another Aberdeen keeper to play for his country. Nineseasons as first choice Aberdeen keeper through the 50's. 6 Bryan Gunn For a keeper to playonly 20 first team games for the Dons his inclusion may surprise many.However not unlike the Clark—McGarr and Martin—Morrison situations,Bryan Gunn was in his early years deputy to Jim Leighton. When calledupon Gunn excelled and showed enough potential to become a keeper ofgreat ability. It was not until his transfer to Norwich that his careertook of. Another Scotland international and he was also the regularScotland U-21 keeper while still deputizing for Jim Leighton atPittodrie. 7 Ernie McGarr Perhaps a surprisechoice but Ernie McGarr had the misfortune to be at Pittodrie at thesame time as established No 1 Bobby Clark. McGarr was arguably the bestreflex keeper the Dons have had and after he took over from Clark in1968 he went on to play for Scotland against Germany that same season.Incredibly the Dons had two full international keepers on their booksat the same time. 8 Peter Kjaer Joined Aberdeen at theright time and gave stability to the young defence in front of him. ADanish international Kjaer was calmness personified in an Aberdeen sidethat was struggling for the most part. One of the main reasons thatAberdeen returned to European football in 2001. Retired from the gamein 2002. 9 Reggie Morrison If there was anydisappointment in Reggie's career it was perhaps the fact that he didnot play as often as he had hoped. Reggie was reserve keeper to FredMartin during the early part of his Aberdeen career before taking overon a more regular basis in the late 50's. Morrison was a superball-round keeper, a joker in the Dons pack and testimony to his abilitywas his selection for the Scotland U-23 side while Fred Martin was theundisputed Scotland and Aberdeen No1. 10 George Johnstone In the days when signingplayers from Junior football was an accepted practice, Johnstonestarred for Benburb as the Glasgow Junior club won the Scottish JuniorCup. Johnstone caught the eye of Aberdeen boss Pat Travers and afterjoining Aberdeen in 1936, he went on to become a legend in the greatAberdeen side of the 1930's. Johnstone was the Aberdeen keeper in theclubs first ever Scottish Cup Final in 1937 when the Dons played Celticin front of the biggest ever crowd for a club match in Britain.

Why is that exclusive to Donstalk? Look at Aberdeen Mad, it practically has its own language and codes. It's a good site but you have to be one of the 'in crowd' to understand the plethora of abbreviations that are in play all the time. This is just a messageboard, no different to any other.

Not in this case Ajja, not at all. This isn't a tough site to get into in the slightest, but if you're a tit, you'll be treated as such.

Hopefully my suggestion to have ED209 police games against the Old Firm is taken on board.
