Nae sure who the player is, but Pa Broon says it's a current Premiership first-team player who WILL be playing in the FA Cup on Saturday, hence why we can't get him in for the semi-final against Celtic. But he's had assurances from the player's manager that he will be on loan with Aberdeen by Tuesday. Riddles in the dark!

As much as I really really fuckin hate Hearts, it is good to see a non-Old Firm team still up there within touching distance of the fat slags.

Aye, relaxed alright. But for the whole 1st leg and about 70 minutes of the second leg against Hertha Berlin (ie until he got sent off) he had Marcelinho in his back pocket

Fit's at min? Ye cannae think o' a name fir yer band? Och, 'ats a shame-min!

so either an attacking midfielder in the mould of Jess/Smith or a defensive midfielder in the mould of Seve/Heikkinen/Deloumeaux

well done!

Brown's not said no to taking Irwin in later, such as in the summer. But he's admitted that Irwin's just too much like the midfielders we've already got.

Nah, he's an a-grade tit. Seems Broon as told Steven Irwin that, although he's of decent quality, he's too much like what we've already got. So, what's Broon looking for? Possibly an attacking-midfielder who could be passed off as a striker? A player like Jess or Jamie Smith (when fit) is probably what we're in need of. Hartley is providing excellent supply for our strikers, but we still need someone who has the ability to unlock defences and turn games like Jess and Smith were able to.

Yeah we'd be entitled to compensation if Maguire moved anywhere outside Scotland. Same happened when Glass moved to Newcastle.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? Making Dyce Airport to Pittodrie via Kingswells in anything less than half an hour is a near impossibility when there's absolutely no traffic on the road ... nevermind when there's sna, and a gazillion folk trying to get into the city to do their Xmas shopping

Normally a testemonial indicates 10 years service. Mackie's been on our books for 10 years ... fuckin NAE chance we've had 10 years of "service" from him. Simmie lives, eats and breathes AFC for 21 years. Give him the testemonial he deserves. Although it might be an idea to wait until some of our fans come back again - I doubt even a top-class side would bring a full house with the Dons in their current state.

Where was he gonna sign? In Aberdeen Airport arrivals lounge? Anyone who thinks travelling from Dyce Airport to Pittodrie can be done in 10 minutes has obviously never heard of the Haudigan Roundabout

Walter Smith ain't exactly the youngest manager in the world, and he clearly makes Rangers tick like no other manager can. Until they go 6 matches without a single point, Brown/Knox will have my full backing. Finally, I'm starting to feel positive about the Dons again ... for the first time in almost three years

I actually feel for the players. A good chance to just get shit-faced and call everyone else a cunt to their faces. The players need the opportunity to vent like this now and then. I've worked for companies who've been really struggling at Xmas time. And the Xmas nights out are a good chance to just blow steam for many employees. Everybody needs an out, especially when you're under enourmous pressure like a relegation-threatened squad.

That's the whole point. Bin the lot of them and start a-fresh.

Frankie tends to regurgitate a lot of his jokes. If you've seen him regularly on Mock The Week, you'll know half his material. But he's still worthwhile for some of the stuff he comes out with

First? Ah fuck it. Just "Do a Turnbull" and kick them all out

I loved Police Squad when it was on in the UK in the late 80s. I reckon this was Nielsen at his very best. Look out, he's got a Picasso! Look out, he's got herpes!

i only ever laughed once at Joe Pasquale - he made a gag about being dyslexic. He wanted to do karate, but ended up going to karaoke. Someone picked a fight with him, so he sang "tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree" at his attacker. Made me chuckle a little bit. But Lee Evans is an irritating shit who tries to pass "I'm nervous as fuck, and I'm gonna sweat all over this stage" off as comedy.

Yet Mackie scores one goal per season and he stays. And Young does one rally-call in the press per year and he gets labelled with "valuable squad player" for yet another year.

Widnae surprise me if the guys who get paid to clear the sna from the roads arenae doing it cos they regard the sna as being an occupational health hazard and winnae clear it without approval fae the union.

Jimmy should've moved on from Aberdeen after the Bayern loss. That was his peak, and he would've gone down in history as being an Aberdeen legend for his team's exploits in Europe. Instead the club decided to renew his contract when he was already a grumpy fucker who couldnae gie a rats. I reckon we would've been able to attract much better managerial candidates if we'd let the Jimmies go in February 2008 and build on the good work he'd done up to that point.

Bring Back Bandy. He should've never left. Any coach that makes David Preece look good must be worth keeping.

Admittedly I've nae seen this squad in person. I've only listened to seven matches this season, and watched one on the tele. the rest of my knowledge is only based on what I've read in the papers and on DT. Therefore, my opinion probably isn't really on-the-mark, so to speak. But correct me if I'm wrong in thinking the following eleven need to go (and there could be more!): Jamie Langfield Rory McArdle Yoann Folly Zander Diamond Andrew Considine Scott Vernon Darren Mackie Derek Young Jerel Ifil Michael Paton Mark Howard

vs Celtic just before Xmas 2001. The South Stand shielded us fae most of the freezing cold, despite the fact that the snow was just piled up at the back of the South Stand. But the walk back to the Pittodrie Bar after that game was easily the coldest I've ever been after a match.
