Be interesting how manybof his trusted crew follow him. Will we see Hearts line up with Marley Watkins, Matty Kennedy, GAsh Taylor and Bruce Anderson? I have some fond memories of McInnes time at Aberdeen, but have to question whether these memories were just the afterglow of Craig Brown's guidance beforehand.

Back in the early 2000s, me and a couple of mates tried to get a "Meadowbank ... wank wank wank! Meadowbank ... wank wank wank" chant going at Almondvale to piss off the Livi fans. Chant didn't catch on

Nothing better than seeing the Victims getting wound up

Annoying thing is we still can't wear it vs Hearts

Leon Mike will be proud

Crazy to see the personal relationship he built with Cnl Gaddafi. Dunno how much of it was dramaticised for the tele

Always worth it

What I've seen of him, Milanovic is a decent winger, scores some very tidy goals. WSW fans seem to think he's too good for Aberdeen, lol

Me and a bunch of mates are heading to the Auckland vs Perth game next Sunday. Likely to be the day Auckland wins the league. I've watched most of their games on the tele so far, and have gone to half a dozen games. Still not committed as a proper fan yet - I mean I follow them cos I live in Auckland. If I moved to Wellington, I'd probably switch to The Phoenix. Whereas I'll only ever follow Aberdeen regardless of where I am in the world. What gets me is they don't look fantastic. This is a team who have got to where they are from team-work (no superstars) and an incredible rub of the green. Next season will be interesting assuming the law of averages in the "rub of the green" luck isn't so screwed in their favour. Sakai, Pauline and Gillion have been standouts all season, but the rest fall in and out of games regularly ... fortunately not all at the same time.

Polvara has a strength to him that's lacking in our other midfielders. When we took him to Pittodrie, he was featherweight and felt like he was just a signing to keep Christian Ramirez company. The following off-season he clearly hit the gym, and came back much more of a physical threat. We saw that when he came on on Saturday too, didn't get pushed off the ball by Hearts' cavemen. I hipe he gets utilised more regularly by JT - between him, Clarkson, Palaversa, there's good options in the middle

Agreed. Gueye, Nisbet, Dabbagh, Okkels and Sokler aren't the answers we need upfront. When Keskinen and Morris get going they remind me of Hayes & Mcginn circa 2013-ish. But we haven't got sufficient replacements for them. The res tof our midfield and defence looks good now. Not brilliant, but notnin need of surgery like upfront. Problem is Dabbagh has Miovski's shoes to fill, and Miovski was so much more than just his goals.

Aye but it's supposed to be a neutral venue. It should be 50:50 to begin with, and if Aberdeen don't sell their allocation in a certain time frame, the remainder can be offered to Celtic. It was said here well before the semis, we will be punished for not bringing a full allocation to Glasgow for a 12.30 semi-final kickoff. Had Saturdays game been a 3pm kickoff, I am confident we would've matched Hearts crowd-wise

You reckon they'll keep Giancarlo, or has he taken Phoenix as far as he can?

At Easter too. Wonder if he'll return in a couple of days

Must be a demand from the Tynecastle Board "can you play stoneage football? Y/N"
