Talking about punts ... did anyone else notice the distance Bossu was gettin on his kicks? Like, touching down 3/4 up the other end of the park! At least there's something good about him. I cannae be too harsh on him, he wasnae that bad really. He had two wobbly moments, iirc. He let the ball go after tripping over Foster. And he also completely missed a shot fae the huns that went past him, ricochet off someone else and then bounced off Bossu's back. Fortunately, our defence was pretty on to it for the entire game and managed to deal with both dangers with relative ease. But aside from these two blunders, he was alright. Certainly more comfortable about him being backup to Langfield than I was before Saturday's match.

KLF - What Time Is Love

10 or so steps? I think Edmund Hilary had an easier job climbing Everest that we do getting up the Y !!

I get your points, I suppose ... now that I think about it. TV picks only really picks up what's happening immediately around the ball, with only the occasional glance at what's happening elsewhere. Being at the game, you can sit and watch Leon Mike all day and realise just how lazy he is!! They call it asthma. I call it too many pies. But there's narrowminded people who fail to realise that the wonders of modern technology mean that I can sit in my living room at 2am on a Sunday morning in New Zealand, sipping a hideously strong rum & coke (cannae really call it that, cos there was hardly any coke in it), watching the game that was being streamed live fae my PC to my TV. Some people think if ye werenae there, bedecked in yer christmas tree dons outfit (hat, scarf, replica shirt, socks and pants), ye've got no right to talk about what went on in the game.

What danger do fans on the Y pose to anyone? Out of sight of the kiddies in the Merkland, so "inappropriate behaviour" is not the reason. Over half a pitch-length away from the opposition fans, so "intimidation" is not an excuse either. Nobody sits on the Y, so "damage of stadium property" is out of the question too. Seems to me the polis simply see the Y as a section full of "likely lads", so decide to pick on them. Is John Morgan still head of Pittodrie security? I very much doubt it after the shambles on the Y that Jager reports. Morgan was always pretty fair with his security measures at Pittodrie.

And yet you made it for him? Class! I'm guessing that if you say "I work in the kitchen" then you ain't the chef. I'd probably say you're the dumb cunt who washes dishes and, when there's an order, you have to leave the dishes alone whilst you scoop two balls of ice-cream and make pretty patterns with the strawberry sauce. Maybe if you spent a little less time concentrating on who is actually in the restaurant and a little bit more time actually preparing your food, you might actually be able to do something with this thing you call a life. Let's face it, a dish-hand is just a glorified bin-man. You still get paid to scrape away the shit that other people can't stomach.

Same way Rod Wallace didn't even get a mention for finishing Jim Leighton's career 87minutes early. Hang on, didn't the same thing happen when Sally McMoist smashed Snelders cheekbone into a gazillion pieces in 1991? Common factor here? The huns get off completely scot-free for taking out THREE of our influential keepers when it's clear that skill alone is not enough to beat us.

Remember, our pre-split matches against the Old Firm are out of the way. Hearts and United still have to play the Old Firm, so there's every chance that we can be third at the split.

Doesn't matter who says this, this is a saying that really pisses me off. The game was a lunchtime kickoff for a reason ... it was a live tv game! Nae getting at you in particular Aberdeen_Ladette. But some people seem to think that not being at the game gives you absolutely no right to make comment on any of the day's proceedings.

Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry

Won't be missed, tbh

Game was boring until the last 15 mins. Bit of a midfield battle, tbh. In typical Rangers fashion, too ... they couldnae win it by legitimate reasons so they go and crock our first-choice keeper. Fuckin hun fucks! I thought for them, Ferguson made some defence-splitting passes and Homo was unlucky not to score. But Kenny Miller was laughable, and just about everything Bhouggerra (sp) kicked went into the upper RDS. For us, Lee Miller worked his socks off, but was a victim of being very tightly man-marked for the entireity of the game. Foster was a complete liability. Seve impressed me, as did Mulgrew. I thought Diamond had a very very solid game at the back and Bossu had a couple of shaky moments (dropping the ball after falling over Foster, eg!) but was relatively comfortable in goals after Langfield's face got ripped open by Kenny Miller. Kerr and McDonald looked excellent in midfield. McCulloch should've been booked for gouging McDonald's eye, but McDonald got his own back with a crunching knees-in-the-back challenge on McCulloch just moments later All in all, especially since we had about three chances all day, a point taken from this match is a good result. Just hope United & Hearts don't win so that we can stay in 3rd ... although with them playing Helen Mirren and Caley respectively, I probably expect us to drop to 5th by the end of today.

I mind me and Alfrom headed straight back down to Edinburgh after the game, and straight into our local. Typical, there was a Tim there saying "oh were you at the game? And I suppose you were one of them funny people who wiz throwin snowbaws at wur players". Typical Tim had to complain about something. Couldnt moan that his team had been horsed at the Pitt, so he complained that the snabaz had stones and metal in them. IT'S SNOW! Anybody would think it was shards of glass we were chucking at Petrov and Thompson. Whinging paranoid fake-irish fuckers.

Put some suggestions up and we'll consider them

Cannae beat Big Dunc's celebrations though. "The Sniper Rifle" pose was always the cheesiest and best, hehe

We're LONG overdue knocking a cricket-score past someone. It would be sweet as fuck if we could really do those manky huns by a decent amount of goals so that they've got absolutely fuckall comeback in the papers. I mean, we beat Celtic 4-2 and had a disallowed goal and a disallowed penalty. Yet STILL they whinge about a "dodgy" goal decision. We need to royally trash the currant buns so that the weejia have absolutely no choice but to write something good about us. Either that or devote a half-column towards us 7 pages in from the back of the paper ... just next to the Classified Ads.

Coincides with him moving Ra Shellick-barrawaybu. They probably said "we'll hire you. But you've got to get rid of the sense of humour. It's not the way we do things around here. We prefer to be more .... how can I put this .... paranoid. Can you do paranoid, Gordon?"

Hard to think that Boydkpen was very very close to signing with us before his big move to the hunnery.

So, we're pretty much riding high for the first January since forever. The only stain on our immaculate shirt is Hamilton. Jimmy is being linked with relatively big jobs down south and overseas (the Utrecht job, especially, would interest him, what with his love for everything Dutch). Mackie's being linked with a move. Miller's being linked with a move. Should we cash in? With the debt down to 6million-ish, I reckon now is as good a time as any to really cash in. Let's face it, Aberdeen will not progress whilst this horrible noose of debt is hanging around our necks. Having a club paying hefty bucks for JC and Lee Miller (both have about two-and-a-half years left on their respective contracts) could probably clean our financial slate and then some. Part of me wants to sell them to the highest bidder and get rid of the debt. Why? Because I still have these horrible nightmares about the ridiculous-money bids that were being talked about when Mackie, McNaughton, McGuire and Anderson were breaking through. And what did we get for them lads? Next to nothing, considering their talent (well, Anderson and McNaughton anyway). I don't want us sitting in a relegation dog-fight in two years time, still fielding those players who will invariably decide to want away at the end of their contract and us collect 75k for them. I'd rather collect the megabucks NOW whilst they're hot property. However, part of me doesn't want them to go. That part of me wants the team to stay together, along with the manager and us clear the debt the other way ... with success on the pitch and regular runs in Europe. What say you? Do we sell now and make the most of the players' values whilst they're hot property? Or do we hold onto them, running the risk that they could either take us intae Europe again, or could turn out to be absolutely Derek Whyte and stumble to a top-six finish and leave for nowt at the end of the 2010/11 season?

Yeah bets are at 16/1 for JC getting the job. He's something like fourth-top odds.

I didn't realise Murray could walk

It takes a wonderful piece of skill to get the ball to go OVER the bar from one yard out.

52 years since we last failed to take any points from matches against Rangers during a season (according to Archie McPherson anyway!). Dunno what the stats are versus Celtic. Would be nice, and I'd much rather two home ties against the Old Firm than one away or both away. Pittodrie shows its true colours against these two!

Sadly we all know how right you are, BigAl

It's like deja vu ... only last time the player's name was Scott Booth. Maybe Smith's got one leg longer than the other like Booth does
