Thats cos he signed a new contract. He "did a Doddsy" or "did a Winters" or "did a Sheerin" whereby he had a blinder of a season when his contract was up for renewal. Then, when he signed his new contract, he sat back and did fuckall. But for that one season, he was immense! Hey, he scored our first goal of the season that year ... a strike against Rangers like a quarter into the new season!

Thank fuck for that. I watched Perth Glory on the tele a few weeks ago. I think they played Adelaide, but I could be wrong. Dadi scored the only goal of the game. Same old tricks. Went down like a ton of bricks in the box when there was no contact. Up stepped Eugene and netted from the spot. That was about 15 minutes into the game or so. For the remaining 75 minutes, he just stood on the half way line doing absolutely fuck all. Somehow he got the "Man Of The Match" award, which really goes to show just how shit the football in Aussie is.

Dear Little Boy, Indeed you have been a good little boy. So here, as per your request, is your blank poster Spreading Christmas joy to another happy little boy, Satan Santa

Andy Dow. When I saw him lined up on the EE back page along with Derek Whyte and Craig Hignett I thought, why the fuck are we buying this guy who struggles to cut it at Hibs? Two years later and he was our player of the year by a country mile!

Soft Cell - Tainted Love

Cheers mate. To be honest, it's the same banner as last christmas. Just couldnae be erse finding any more snowy photos of pittodrie or the dons

You must admit, JC's coat was on a shoogley peg back then.

Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays

Must admit there's been some crackin matches over the past decade. A few that spring to mind: Copenhagen at Pittodrie Bayern at Pittodrie Both legs of the Hertha tie 3-2 win over the Huns about 3 years ago 3-2 win over the Tims at Pittodrie with Hignett running the show and Mark Perry scoring a screamer from 188 yards out

Still one match left!

I clean forgot he was on our books!

A decade of the SPL, eh? Still mind Jess' goal vs Dundee ... the FIRST EVER goal in the Scottish Premier League.

Not really, cos Lovell still scored ... albeit once less than Miller.

I couldn't believe we didn't sign Kavanagh. He was Stoke City's best player at the time, and this when they were in the then 1st division (what is now the Championship). Kavanagh basically put out a "come and get me" plea to the Dons. And we go and unveil Pepper as our new midfield general!

What's wrong with email? They'd have this shite sorted out by the time the postie has been to pick up the mail.

Haha. Never EVER in the history of DonsTalk have I seen a thread of posts where every single person is united in their anger and sheer hatred for the subject. Alex Miller is the biggest fuckin joke to ever have anything to do with Aberdeen Football Club. Seeing him smirk with the Scotland squad just days after the Dons got tanked is the lasting image I have of that utter disgrace of a man. It's hard to believe that one man can do so much damage to a football club in the space of just one year. Stewart Milne has only gone by the advise of the footballing brains at Pittodrie when he handed out cash to get players. Roy Aitken was in his first managerial job and, to be fair, didn't do too badly until his final season (hey, he is still the last Aberdeen manager to win a cup). Alex Miller, however, was brought in as a manager who was technically sound and had HEAPS of experience in football management. Jimmy Calderwood took a weaker squad and made them into a top-six team within one year. Alex Miller took a cup-winning team, got rid of their three most prolific goal threats (Shearer, Windass and Dodds) and made the Dons a group of spineless, gutless losers with a defensive, losing mentality that took almost a decade to erase from the club's veins. Prick of the highest order.

Finally he keeps his trap shut. Actually, to be fair he's learned his lesson over the past 12 months or so. NOBODY saw the Aluko deal coming!

WTF? How the hell have any Killie fans been inconvenienced? Their only fan leaves his house five minutes before kickoff. Aberdeen fans from north of the Granite City face upwards of four hours travel time to get to Kilmarnock. And it ain't exactly cheap to drive for four hours these days ... nor is the Aberdeen to Glasgow to Kilmarnock train journey very cheap (or very quick) these days either!

Is that why Rangers FC was asked to apologise to the City of Manchester for the behaviour of its fans? Funnily enough, Rangers FC found a way of getting away with that one too, just like the get away with bypassing questions about the songs their fans sing too. Tell him that the Aberdeen fans were jumped and the Madrid police did fuckall to stop the carnage. It's funny how every week a different team from England or Europe arrives in Manchester, along with thousands and thousands of fans. Yet the only time there's trouble is when Rangers come to town. And yet Madrid saw blood when two completely different teams from different countries arrived to play football. Something tells me Aberdeen and Bolton had nothing to do with the violence in Madrid

Killie should have the book thrown at them for this. I can understand if the weather has resulted in making roads to the stadium hazardous to travel on, as that's outwith the control of the football club. But every SPL club has undersoil heating. The fact that a few neighbours complain about the noise whenever it's used should perhaps say to Killie FC that they need to invest in a different form of power for the undersoil heating, as clearly a petrol/diesel generator is not working for them. It's all very well to claim "yes we have undersoil heating", but if you're too afraid to use it, you might as well not have it. Same goes for Motherwell. These two clubs should be fined for not utilising the systems that have been a prerequisite of the SPL to ensure matches have the strongest possibility of NOT being postponed. Killie should be fined, with the fees heading towards Pittodrie.

Looks like you might be right ... ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE Robert Elstone Appointed 05.08.08

A 0-0 draw in the League Cup against Celtic at Pittodrie in February 1983. Dinnae really remember much about it. My dad and brother went to the match and I tagged along. Didnae hae a clue about football at the time. It's still debatable if I know much these days either!

Out of interest, I noted that Keith Wyness is pullin out all the same old lines at Everton as he did at Pittodrie. Not only is he wanting to move Everton FC to some soulless ground on the outskirts of Nowheresville, but I spotted Liverpool and Everton fans in the same section at Goodison a few weeks ago. Couldnae believe he's still harkin on with the same old record that he spun here

See that fucks me off. Anderson was a Don for 11 years. Hart for 9 years. Clark 10-and-a-half. How long is "a few years" before these players decide it's time for a look at what the other side of the fence looks like? I have no qualms about either player moving and, indeed, am not bothered about Nicholson moving either. It's the nature of the game. I would've loved to see all four (well, nae really fussed about Clark) staying at Aberdeen, but players have ambitions. Most want to play in England in as big a league as possible.

I've nae seen head nor tail of that useless cunt since we gave him pelters in the pub before a game a few years ago down at Motherwell. "who's that sitting at Pittodrie? Who's that sittin o'er there? Looks like Alan Duncan tae me, wi Keith Wyness on his knee. Looks like Claire won't be gettin it onay mare!" Never saw him again after that song.
