If I remember rightly, Russell Duncan captained Scotland at U16 level when he was just a pup at the Dons. Look how long he lasted at Pittodrie!

That's the biggest crowd EEP has ever seen!

See answer from further up the page, as quoted below ... Let me get to work on this right now to see if I can get it up and running properly

If it were Calderwood, I'd agree with you here min. But McGhee has backed up his threats with real action - Maybe Duff has given himself a lifeline with his performance vs Hearts, but surely Young's days are numbered. And look how sparingly Maguire is being used nowadays too!

Or yer finished yer shopping and yer running for the train ... in which case you don't have time to stop past the shop anyway!

International clearance?? Wasn't he born in Dundee?

I have been sitting on the fence with regard McGhee's appointment as Aberdeen boss. I wasn't too thrilled by the appointment, but then again I'm always willing to give every new Aberdeen manager my support. But more recently, he's starting to give me reason to actually like him. He's not showing any favouritism, is happy to stick to a tactic that he knows his players can stick to, and he doesn't seem phased about dropping players who were regulars under Jimmy. Most recently, this is what he's said about Chris Maguire ... a player that has had praised piled on him by previous managers ... for reasons that still seem to escape me. Anyway this is what McGhee has said about Bebo: "I have my reasons for only using Chris sparingly. He has immense potential but still has a lot to do to convince me he is ready to be a regular first-choice player. He has to get fitter and stronger. There a lot of areas he has to work on before he gets what he clearly wants. Another important part in the development of young players is teaching them to take responsibility for their own performances. They can't make excuses or blame other people or systems or even the weather if they haven't done well. If your not playing well you have to recognise that and make extra effort to improve and I told him that." Good on you Mark. It's only taken, what, four years for someone to say this to Maguire.

Well here's hoping the mask gives him the playing qualities of Facundo Sava, Fulham's own answer to Zorro.

I read about the mask but hadn't seen any pics. I was imagining something like this:

Dammit, I did choose the wrong one. There's one where he slams the ball high into the net from within the 18-yard box at Ibrox which I've been hunting for. Absolutely stunning goal!

Okay then. For one team, you get to pick anyone from the 83-84 season squad. For the other team, anyone from the 89/90 squad.

I'm sure I've chosen the right goals! One is at Pittodrie whilst the other is at Ibrox. Take a look at the fans celebrating behind the goal in the first one. Then take a look at the motionless fans behind the goal in the second.

A few drinks now and then is not a problem, imho. When you're as naturally talented as Paul Gascoigne or George Best, by all means have a few if you want. Chances are, you're so good at football that a drinking habit is just going to lower your ability to "marginally-better than the others". But when you're Darren Mackie (yes I know he's an easy scapegoat), then drinking excessively and smoking a lung in the process is not exactly the best idea you've had when it is clear that playing football to a capable and professional level already takes a lot of hard work when you're sober ... nevermind when you've got to counteract all the boozing with even more hard work!

I was having a good look through some of the highlights of the Aberdeen games from around the 1990 season and am still amazed to this day how we didn't win the league with that team. So here's a question for you all ... Do you reckon the 1990 Aberdeen team could've beaten the 1984 Aberdeen team

Yeah long (vodka) overdue. But the proof will be seeing McGhee follow up on his threats. It was one thing from Fergie to ban the players from drinking the night before matches. It was another thing for him to waltz into the pubs and haul the players out by their ears. If McGhee can follow up on his threats with real action, he'll get my vote of confidence. Boozy pissups have been a part of the Dons players' culture for far too many seasons now. Binge drinking and regular heavy nights on the sauce should not be a part of a professional sportsman's vocabulary. By all means, enjoy a few now and then. But not every weekend, guys!

Hmmmmm. I'm undecided about Ross. We've had worse players turn up on our doors asking to train with us. I'm not that enthusiastic about him signing for us, but then I'm actually not too miffed either. Welcome aboard, Ross. Believe me, the fact that you're an ex-hun will not have an impact on your time here ... so long as you put in maximum effort for us.

Two of the best goals I've ever seen for the Dons. Why? Not just because they were clinical, unstoppable finishes ... but also because Jess calculated every single inch of the ball's trajectory before unleashing his strike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByY0erq-pbU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjN1i8_eBKo

I take it the club said: "sorry Charlie. Yer nae getting in today. We cannae be arsed with yer shite. And you keep leaving pie crumbs all over the place". So Fat Ex-Postie has gone back to the office in a grump and said: "What am I gonna do for today's pay? Ross! Bring me your best fabricated load of shite you can think of ... nah that's shite, you can hae that one. Ah, David Preece you say? When's this one from? 2005? Ah fuckit, it'll do for my piece!" Absolutely nowhere in the whole article does McGhee state that being the Aberdeen manager is the toughest job he's ever had. EE in Daily Record-style non-shocker!

Diamond's back in December too, so that'll be the fifth new signing that we were promised two years ago.

The Derek Young one was priceless

Is this the same mythical bust-up involving Sone Aluko, Mark McGhee, a toaster, Stewart Milne's old wig and Gabriel Batistuta's hamster?
