Without consulting Google, it seems to me we always play Celtic in either our first home game or their first home game. I can't remember us getting the better of them in the opener either, other than Hignetts first home game

I've seen the first 3 episodes. First 2 were particularly good

DT minibuses rule. A bunch of us were on the Beach End Reds minibus to Dens on boxing day 2002. Bloody carnage

Cheers. Saves me Googling it which inevitably leads me down rabbit-holes and wondering 2 hours later why I went onto Google in the first place

I'm sure a hunt on Google could tell me, but how come Spain have only played 2 games so far?

Be able to spot you as youd be the only person in Wellington not layered up with wooly hats and thermals Never thought I'd head from NZ to Scotland for a holiday in the hope of getting a tan

We don't usually get a new home AND away kit in the same season. But club seems to indicate on FB that a new home kit is coming. A couple of Adidas red kits have been released so far, notably Nottingham Forest and Benfica. Both quite different designs, I think I would prefer the Nottingham Forest one out of those two designs ...

It brings back memories of the Northsound away strip. I'm not convinced

Scunthorpe - one of three teams in UK leagues to have rude words in their name, the others being Arsenal and Fuckin Rangers

The Sokler deal must be ahead of Duk heading out, presumably to Torino. The Doohan link must be ahead of Lewis heading out ... presumably to Killie If both are true, I've never heard of us signing replacements BEFORE the OG's leave

My Aussie mate said "sure fire, Scotland must qualify for both now". Obviously he has never followed scotland before

I remember that close-season. I was working in California at the time on one of those Camp America gigs. the local library got copies of Scotland On Sunday a couple of days late, and me and my mate were rubbing our hands with glee at the thought of Jess being back, Kiriakov (the guy who once played Gazza off the park), Ricky Gillies (the nation's most promising youngster) all playing for us. Oh how that optimism didn't last

All the papers are running with a "heres a list of Aberdeens most expensive signings", which makes me wonder just how much we paid Liverpool for him.

Some sources saying Clarkson is coming back to us instead of Reading Although their source is the Record https://the72.co.uk/2023/06/13/aberdeen-agree-deal-to-sign-reading-transfer-target/

Oh you had me til the end. I am one of the few who actually liked Ebbe. I could see the vision he had, the Brondby Blueprint looked to be just what we needed. Plus he was a bloody good laugh when he did his supporters club roadshows

Agreed. I got to most games (home and away) between 1999 and 2003. I was in my early 20s, single, earning a full time wage, my disposable income was off the charts. Fast-forward 20 years, I live on the other side of the world, have teenage kids, and would only consider travelling for a cup final TBH. I have a RedTV subscription and whilst I won't normally get up in the middle of the night to watch a run of the mill league match against St J, I do get up and watch the bigger games or ones that have more on the line, such as the last St Mirren game. So my circumstances mean I hardly go to any games, and I watch far fewer than I would've if timezones were better. But I consider myself to be just as much a Dons fan now as I was when I was going to most games 20 years ago

I was sure in the early 90s when it was us and Motherwell for 2nd place (back when Celtic were a mistable mess under Tommy Burns). Tommy Coyne was up there each year as the leagues top scorer. but upon checking Google it looks like Owen Coyle joined them late 90s. Coyne and Coyle were definitely a decent partnership at motherwell tho

Literally anyone can be a celtix manager and win the league with the resources available to them. Its literally like putting aberdeen in an amateur league, but aberdern get to spend the same money as they do today. Which makes me wonder just how shit John Barnes really was

He was a cracking player in the day. The partnership he and Tommy Coyne had at Motherwell was something else - back in the days when it was us and Motherwell battling it out for 2nd place

You could always support USA who are probably more likely to win than England. On second thoughts, John Lewis might have a sale on soon

2002/03 season when we travelled to Partick. It was a bloody cold midweek game, and David Lilley was just another one of those players who picked up a wage with us for doing absolutely heehaw and then came up against us and played a blinder to beat us 2-1. Same category as Curtis Main, tbh. It was my last Dons game before leaving for NZ, and it really was a fkn boring season, especially given how much fun it was being on the road with the red army the previous season

Our attendance has averaged somewhere between 13-15k throughout the past 3 decades (COVID seasons aside). The club has a pretty solid backbone of supporters who stick with them team regardless. But as with any team, success brings certain types of fans back through the turnstiles that may not necessarily go to every game.

So, much of the crowd will know what the score is without checking the Beeb web app? It'll never catch on

We have had the wettest summer on record here in NZ. You can see it on people's faces, everyone is just glum and fucked off now that its coming into winter. Not to mention the sheer amount of damage the country has seen from successive cyclones every 2 weeks. So I'm taking my sorry ass to Scotland and Ireland in July in search of a bit of sun Got two weddings to go to at either end of a 1 month holiday, one in Drogheda just outside Dublin, and then one up in Dornoch. Cannae wait to get "hame"

I heard Pollock and McRorie came back out onto the pitch topless, singing with the fans "Hearts, Hearts are falling apart again"
