Whether we were any good or not is not the argument here. Consi meant no malice. As Lennon said, he went for the tackle, he lost the pace battle. Nothing wrong with this. Anywhere else on the park and you've got a chance of not even being carded. He did not deserve to walk for that. I know its the rules, but its a stupid rule. Who the hell enjoys watching 70 minutes of 11 men outplaying 10 men? For what its worth I thought we matched Celtic until the red card

Stupid fuckin rule that FIFA need to change. Considine meant absolutely no malice with his challenge. There's no denying it was a penalty, and maybe a yellow card would've sufficed. But Aberdeen had to play a chasing game for the remainder of the match, something yer never gonna win if you're up against Timothy.

Time to retire, Darren.

Aberdeen vs Ayr Utd in the cup on a bleak Tuesday evening in November will mean carparking for every fan, then

We should do what Hibs did with Scott Brown and sign him on a ridiculous contract, piss him off, and then sell him to Celtic/Rangers/Championship for a ludicrous amount of money. Brown £4m, Fletcher £3m, Whittaker £2m, Murphy £1.5m. That's £10.5m they've netted from outbound transfers in the past four seasons. But they still refuse to spend any money on new players. Aberdeen take note!

At the start of the Dons vs Huns game where Robbie Winters got hit on the head by a coin and the riot-police were on parade, Archie MacPherson said at the start of the game that it had been 50 years since Aberdeen had failed to take any points from either of the Old Firm. Think the 60th anniversary of that statistic will mark the end of that statistic, tbh.

It's almost like someone's stuck us all into a Delorien and zapped us back to 2001. League reconstruction and SPL TV? Yawn

I went to see Phil Kay as part of the Edinburgh Festival about 10 years ago. He was mildly funny, but again his gig was less than an hour long. He had a couple of funny gags about Burntisland being named after a community bbq one Sunday. A couple of jokes about the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow .... "who would live in Linlithgow?!". He then used a side-speaker to climb up to the balcony and steal an alcopop from someone in the crowd. Think he kind of ran out of jokes though, hence why he probably finished up early. Worst comedy gig I've ever been to, though, was Charlie Chuck (aka Uncle Peter from Reeves&Mortimer) at the Lemon Tree about 16 years ago. He was atrocious. He arrived on stage in character and was brilliant. But within 20 minutes, he had slipped out of character and was just telling stories of his childhood ... not even jokes, just general stories from his childhood!

Stunning goal indeed!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-EDtQchYFc

Call me nostalgic, but I love the admiral one (bottom far left) and the adidas pinstripe one (bottom, second from right). Away kit is superb too!

Had a day off today with the missus. We went to the cinema. I wanted to see Battle Los Angeles, but when I said the trailers look like Independence Day, she immediately decided not to see it. So we went to see Rango instead. Quite enjoyed it, tbh. The quality of the animation is unbelievable! Saw Black Swan the other day too. Considering it's a movie about duncin, it's nae bad. I found it a bit tricky to figure out when Portman was dreaming and when she wasn't. Suppose that's what made the movie all the more intriguing.

Tomorrow's headline: "Lennon: My cup heroes didn't need motivation; Brown did that all for me"

I like to call it the Ricky Gillies effect

I beg to differ. There is a countdown timer that commences the moment any Aberdeen player with "potential" is touted to a big club. This countdown timer last approximately three years, and by the end of those three years they are booed off the park by the Aberdeen fans for being so ineptly shite.

As usual, Aberdeen have failed to capitalise. Zander was at his most sellable about three or four years ago. At that time, rumours were flying around about him moving to other clubs. Now that we cannae stand him and he's become a bit of a donkey (an out of contract donkey at that) we are set to lose him for nothing. Can't Plymouth take him off our hands for $300k?

What the fuck is the point in actively hunting for out-of-contract players if ye ken full well that yer nae gonna sign them because "We're almost at full complement in terms of staff"? Fkn waste of everyone's time.

Ant & Dec produced the King's Speech?

I was quite excited by thon Finnish midfielder fae Brondby. Cannae understand why Brondby wouldnae make their captain a full-time player though! They're pretty much a permanent fixture in the Europa league.

I did start watching Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and I think I quite enjoyed it. I think it might've been the russian subtitles, or the fact all the seats in the lounge were taken and I had to sit/lie on the floor, but I fell asleep about half way through. I've never really grabbed the opportunity to watch it the rest of the way thru

There were some bits in Social Network that I quite enjoyed Gretchen: 18,000 dollars? Eduardo Saverin: Yes. Gretchen: In addition to the $1,000 you'd already put up? Eduardo Saverin: Yes. Gretchen: A total of $19,000 now? Eduardo Saverin: Yes. Mark Zuckerberg: Hang on. [Mark sarcastically adds up the 2 amounts on his notepad] Mark Zuckerberg: I'm just checking your math on that. Yes, I got the same thing.

Each to their own, I suppose. I crack up at observational comedy. Billy Connolly made a massive career out of observational comedy, and these days the likes of Michael McIntyre and Jimeon certainly keep me entertained with what they observe.

Just read in the Evening Depress that Brown is looking to add to the squad soon with at least one currently-out-of-contract player. So I found a list of prominent European players who are currently out of contract. Who do you reckon from this list? (BTW this list is from a random site, so I can't guarantee that all players are currently unattached): Goalkeepers Antti Niemi Damien Rascle Dida Jimmy Walker Luke McCormick Magnus Hedman Michael Oakes Defenders Arjan de Zeeuw Ben Thatcher Calum Davenport Cedric Uras Celestine Babayaro Chris Innes Chris Lucketti Christian Panucci Franck Queudrue Franck Matingou Gonzalo Sorondo Jorge Andrade Lauren Liam Rosenior Mamadou Seck Marko Babic Matthew Edile Michael Ball Mo Camara Moritz Volz Olivier Bernard Radhi Jaidi Rui Marques Sol Davis Sylvinho Toni Kallio Wayne Thomas Yassin Moutaouakil Midfielders Andranik Teymourian Andy van der Meyde Astrit Adjarevic Brahim Hemdani Camel Meriem Denilson Didier Agathe Eduardo Gaspar Gareth Williams George Boateng Herold Goulon Jermaine Wright Laurent Robert Lee Keun-Ho Makhtar NDiaye Matt Holland Matt Piper Miguel Angel Angulo Modeste Mbami Ousmane Dabo Phillip Mulryne Quinton Fortune Rob Brady Robbie Foy Sam Dalla Bona Stelios Giannakopoulos Yildiray Basturk Strikers Berlin Ndebe-Nlome Carl Asaba Cherno Samba Cristian Tudor Dwight Yorke Francis Jeffers Guillermo Franco Ilan Jeremie Aliadiere Malcolm Christie Mark Viduka Mateja Kezman Michael Mifsud Mido Nathan Lowndes Patrick Suffo Robbie Winters Robert Flik Shabani Nonda Shefki Kuqi Stefan Moore Stern John Tam McManus Tore Andre Flo Zoltan Harsanyi

What is it with us playing Motherwell vs Dons fans shouting abuse at the Dons players? Mind the game you and I were at, BB. It was at Fir Park just after the Euro game in Berlin. Probably the best game I ever saw Eric (and to that matter, Patrizio Billio) play in a red shirt. Despite ripping the 'Well midfield apart, Bisconti missed one tackle. Some arsehole stands up behind us and shouts "Bisco, fuck off back tae Belgium ya dick!". I seem to remember you just about lamping that guy

One of the few natural-world documentaries that I've been glued to. Other worthy contenders include "Earth: The Power Of The Planets" and "Stephen Hawking: The Story Of Everything"

Jock Brown was shit. Looking through the RedTV archives, I'm shocked at how many matches he commentates on. He just doesn't care for Aberdeen at all. There's a Celtic vs Aberdeen game where Booth and Jess ripped the Tims a new arsehole in a fantastic display of counterattacking football. Stevie Fulton was just breaking into the Celtic squad (to give you an idea of the approx year of the game). Brown's commentary was unbelievably biased to the point that he basically said it was a disaster when Aberdeen scored. But yer right, tlg1903. McPherson wasnae the worst, but his commentary was absolutely bonkers towards the end of his career. "The Rangers defence has ossified" ... like yer average fan watching a Rangers match on the tele is gonna have a clue what you've just said, Archie.
