I feel for McGhee. I don't give a fuckin rats arse for the players. Yes McGhee's played pretty shite in the transfer market, such as putting all his eggs in the Stephen Hughes transfer in the summer ... only to be left with Grassi. Those players, however, need to be sold/released/whateverittakes. McGhee pours his heart out after last week's Falkirk defeat, and the players react with this sort of shite? Losing to NINE MEN??!!! Every single one should be culled from the club WITHOUT EXCEPTION! They don't deserve to be playing for a club of Aberdeen's stature. Let them rot in the lower reaches of the Scottish and English leagues. I for one will not miss Mackie, Aluko, Kerr, McDonald and every single one of those wasters if we were to get rid of them in the summer. Sick to death of the mediocrity that is being accepted by Aberdeen players.

Just incase you missed this on a previous thread. I don't care if this is a plea from an AFC-Chat regular, he has the best interests of Aberdeen Football Club at heart. I can't make it due to geographical issues ... but I urge anyone from Donstalk interested in helping create a new Red Ultras-like supporters group to read on .... Dear DonsTalk, A few weeks ago I wrote to the support asking for your opinions, ideas and support to help improve the atmosphere at Pittodrie. The response has been excellent and heart-warming, with many responses from all sections of the Aberdeen support, which is fantastic as we can achieve so much more if when we are united in a common cause. Recent events make it even more important. We, the fans, must stay together as at the end of the day it is OUR club. The cast of players and management will always change, but the generations of us remain and hopefully always will there to back the team through thick and thin. I firmly believe we can make a positive difference to the current atmosphere by bringing more noise and colour to the stands, and from the response shown by you to our call is that you feel the same. Time to get down to basics- I would like to invite you all to a public meeting in the Broadhill Bar (Upstairs Lounge) on Saturday the 20th March at 11am, The day of the Dundee United game at Pittodrie. Everyone in the support is very welcome to attend. The aim of the meeting shall be as follows; 1) Decide what we feel the most important basic changes are that have to be made to improve the atmosphere at Dons games. 2) Appoint a group of people, drawn from all of us, to help further those aims, who will liaise with club with regard to organising displays and towards getting the changes required made to make the atmosphere better at Pittodrie. 3) Decide when and how we will approach the club with these aims before next season begins. To help with this, as many of you need to attend as possible, from all sections of our support. Season ticket holders, supporters clubs representatives, groups of fans both official and unofficial, message board regulars and irregulars, the committed, the occasional and the disillusioned- anyone who is Aberdeen needs to have a voice with regard to backing the team positively on a match day. Obviously to help with the running of the meeting, and for those who cannot attend, it will help if you have considered a lot of the issues beforehand and let us know your ideas, and what help you may be able to offer. To do this, I’d like you to consider the answers to the following three questions and e-mail the answers back to me. Which three off the field changes would most improve the atmosphere at Pittodrie? Who do you feel within the support can best represent these views? What are you prepared to do to help make these things happen? We have an opportunity here to speak with one voice and make the future in the stands at Aberdeen a brighter, more vibrant and independent one. It’s up to us to make it happen, so I hope to see many of you at the meeting. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. STAND FREE Stephen McCormick - redarmy12@hotmail.co.uk

I mind the only game I've saw Haruldar Infolsson play. That game completely passed him by. He genuinely looked like someone had said "square-root of 8394 ... gimme the answer NOW, with no calculator!"

Dave Matthews Bands! Crikey, nae heard them for many years. I bought their "Under the Table and Dreaming" album when I worked in USA back in 1997. Was quite a relaxing sorta album, although nae really one I could listen to in one-go. I put them in the same category as Gomez. Whipping Picadilly is an album I own, but can only listen to one or two songs at a time ... and even then only listen to them maybe once or twice a year.

Nail on head. This is the most broken I've ever seen Aberdeen Football Club. It worries me. Back in the dark Alex Miller days, there was always the hope that we would bin him and move for a better manager. There was money there for us to get new players. Despite how much we hated Miller, the support still backed the club. And Wiggy still managed to add a few bob to the transfer kitty when he felt like it. How, however, I actually think nobody will be able to do a job if McGhee were to go. I sincerely believe no more money will come from Wiggy. I kind of get the impression that he's had enough of leading the club, and could easily walk from the Dons chairman position. As much as I hate to say it, when he goes so does the security that is keeping the banks from closing our doors. And I really don't think anyone with decent money will help the club in this real time of need. And you know the worst thing? The club is losing fans at a scary rate of knots. The fans who previously stuck by the club through thick and thin are now grown up, have kids, have other commitments and, tbh, would rather be stuck at home or stuck in the pub than have to put up with another shite performance from the Dons. The newest generation of Red-Army-regulars aren't so patient. I really fear for the future of Aberdeen FC at the moment.

You've obviously nae seen the quality of the SMG houses on the south-side of Portlethen, then! The protests against Jimmy were so pathetic, because the fans were split. Some were EXTREMELY anti-Jimmy. But most of us were either happy with the status-quo, or weren't really so bothered as to stop what we were doing and join in the crappy protests. The board, however, have 15 years of failure on their resume. I strongly believe a well-organised protest would be well supported by the fans, and could actually bear fruit. I believe there is money out there, waiting to be invested in Aberdeen. I also firmly believe none of this money will come to Aberdeen whilst Milne is in charge.

Drop Kerr and McDonald and replace them with some of the untried kids. Let them know that we'd rather risk completely un-tried, inexperienced teenagers than bother with these seasoned journeymen who get paid hansomly to do fuckall (and lets face it, regardless of what they get paid compared to Hearts, Hibs or United players, they are still getting paid a good wage for what is effectively kicking a ball around ... although, they don't even do that!)

Bin everyone apart from Pawlett, Paton, Fyvie and MacLean, and I'll be a bit happier. C'mon McGhee. If you want to be like your mentor Fergie, grow some balls and don't be afraid of telling your players what you really think of them.

Like playing a recognised formation?

Jeeez, I'll say. We could've signed O'Brien for 20k in January. But what's the fuckin point when we can pick him up for nowt in the summer. I mean, we ain't Middlesbrough!

Hmmm. I think that might be 'shopped. I've seen a few in my time

Nae so much Aberdeen being full of Old Firm glory hunters. It's the surrounding commuter-towns that are full-to-the-brim of huns and tims. As much as I hated reading that, I actually agree with Tam that it's only a matter of time before Aberdeen get relegated for the first time in history. I say give it 2 years and we'll be down. The only thing that will save us is if McGhee bins his team of bottlers ... and that includes many players who've had it too easy at the club - Mackie, Aluko, Kerr, McDonald for starters

... because your continued financial support of the football club is obviously helping to "properly fun" the club?!! It's a good article, but why the fuck did Spiers choose to quote this muppet?

That wasn't a missile, you twat. That was a heap of scarves and season-tickets from fans who have finally had enough of the constant downgrading of Aberdeen FC that has happened since the day you started running the joint. You can save what valuable resources you'd put aside for finding and punishing these fans who threw stuff onto the pitch ... they won't be back!

Ach let him go. We'll get a replacement in with the cash we get from his sale.

... because I forgot.

Contributed more to Aberdeen in the first five months of 1990 than most of our long-term strikers do in three seasons

I think the loan threats were a kick up the backside that both he and Maguire needed. TBH both have reacted superbly to the loan-threats - Maguire firing them in for Killie, and Paton notching up a few goals and assists for us.

Wow! A decent debate about our top four midfielders of the past two decades. It was a close-call for 3rd and 4th place! But once again, that immense team of the early 1990s continued its dominance with the final four being Jim Bett, Eoin Jess, Lee Richardson and Paul Mason. Imagine that midfield for the Dons today! The above teamsheet has them placed randomly across the midfield, as I couldn't come to a conclusion as to who was best where. Onto our second-to-last week of the competition (we'll decide on the manager next week). And this could be a real toughie. The strikers! You're only allowed to choose two. This poll will run until next Saturday. Remember, these are ONLY players who've played for Aberdeen between 1990 and 2010. As always, I'm not going to mention ALL players from the past two decades ... just the ones worth mentioning.

What a game. 4 goals against Ra Shellick! Just a shame each and every one of those goals were catch-ups. Thought some of our defending was very suspect, and Aluko didn't really seem to give a shit. Paterson started pretty poorly, but came on to a good game. WELL impressed with all our goals. Stunning strikes from Mackie and Paton. No keeper was gonna stop MacLean's pen, and a lovely wee flick of the backheel for MacLean's 2nd. Deserved at least a draw from that game.
