It's not just any side, bobo. It's Hibs ... you know, Scotland's only team capable of playing "total" football. To be honest, I'd rather this match was at Fester Road, cos we seem to have a better record there over the past 7 or 8 years.

That's enough to get anyone pissing themselves with laughter.

I give him 14 minutes before Jackie "Superstar" McNamara sneezes in Smith's general direction, causing him to pull his groin/thigh/calf/cock and be out until Christmas.

I'm with you there, BB. When Preece arrived, he was a crock of shit. When he left, many of us had warmed to him because he developed into a handy keeper. When Clangfield arrived, NONE of us were happy. Yet, a couple of years on and he produced one of the best goalkeeping displays we've seen from an Aberdeen goalkeeper for many a moon to keep Dnipro at bay. There's no doubt that he's been given absolute shite to work with over the years. However, Bandy Jim has managed to polish a few turds along the way ... given time. Sandy, though? He's done fuckall. I'd rather see someone like Scott Booth, Duncan Shearer or Craig Brewster hired as a striker coach

Still a cock though. I met him in some (cough) wine bar off Golden Square a few years ago. Arrogant piece of crap of the second-highest order. The article itself, though, is pretty much exactly how I feel. Why do we have to give him til Xmas? What's the point in that. We've been cursing Calderwood since February. Since then, we gutlessly got dumped out of the Scottish Cup, League Cup (twice), scraped into top six on the final day before the split. He also said "we need at least ten new players to be able to compete next season". He's still only on nine so, by his own estimations, he's working with a smaller and weaker squad than last year. In his favour ... he has stabilised us. No more guaranteed thrashings from the ugly sisters. And some of the players he's signed have been of a high standard - Severin, Nicholson, Mulgrew, Miller, Brewster, Jamie Smith, Aluko, Ferne Snoyle, Noel Whelan ... If these guys were our team, I don't think any of us would complain at all. However, one of the most irritating things is that he then goes out and gives the likes of Maguire and Foster new lucrative contracts, and then signs shite like Bus, Mair, Duff, Soutar, Bossu and Hodgkiss (a player he didn't even know existed until the loan contract was finalised!). JC has been below par for a lot longer than just six matches. He's been below par since he signed his new contract. He has taken Aberdeen as far as he can. Thankyou Jimmy for bringing a bit of respectability back to Aberdeen Football Club. For that, I take my hat off to you. Now, though, we want more. You are not the man to give us more. Therefore, your time is up.

WTF? Keevins at his best, as per usual. Where in this article does Jimmy say he's despised because he's Glaswegian? When have we ever said that? We despise him because of his crazy tactical choices. We despise him because he'd rather give chances to the guys who are a little bit way and a little bit wow in the dressing room, rather than favouring the guys who have genuine talent. We despise him because of his decision to play an untested keeper in a cup match against one of the SPL's form teams. Incase it had escaped Keevins, the most successful Aberdeen manager of all time is proud to call himself a Govan loon. Wisen the fuck up, Keevins. We couldn't give a fuck where a player or manager is from ... so long as they give their all for Aberdeen.

I see a worrying trend. The more illegible your signature, the worse a keeper you are. There's no fuckin way any of those three signatures say either Bossu, Soutar or Esson. That last signature of Esson's actually looks more like a first-draft Rofaroo.

KLF - What Time Is Love

Thats because we are Aberdeen, not some other shit. :clap: :clap: Right on! I don't think the club quite understand the fans' standpoint. We have been Scotland's third biggest club for many many years now. We have had to sit and watch whilst we get overtaken in those stakes by Hearts. Not to mention losing to teams like Hamilton, Queen of the South, Inverness and Killie. I don't care who was the better team on the day. I don't care that Killie have a stable, established squad. They're Killie, FFS!! We should be beating shite like this, not scrounging around for excuses as to why they beat us. Why should we be beating shite like this? Because we're Aberdeen! We've got the biggest catchment area of pretty much any SPL side. We should be filling Pittodrie! Eleven thousand fans for a weekend match against United ... one of our fiercest rivals. That is absolutely shite!! Against any team that we have a bit of rivalry with, we should be attracting 14000 fans at least. The fans are bored. They've had enough. Even the hardcore Dons fans are starting to get bored. When the hardcore fans start to drift, it's time to start changing things.

That's because Ebbe shouldered a hell of a lot of the blame for the shit results. The thrashings at Porkheid were inexplicable. But at least he turned around and said "I didn't prepare the lads" or whatever. The difference now is, JC never ever ever takes responsibility, despite the fact that it is he who decides to leave Lovell on the bench so that he can give Bebo a runout, or he decides to shove one of our most influential midfielders into defence, or runs with a formation that is so unbalanced that any shite team from Division Two can skip past us in the cup cos we've got too many strikers and not enough defenders.

I ain't going nowhere, mate. I signed a 3 year contract just months ago. Hence, I can do what ever I fuckin want to this piece of shit site ... err I mean, we dominated possession in the first four seconds of the match.

Or worse ... 12 years of playing random formations like 2-2-6 and 1-1-8 with teams of players who don't have the skill to play anything outside 4-4-2. Or 12 years of route-one football. 12 years of tombolas. 12 years of moulding your team around unskillful amateurs who are fun in the dressing room.

I wasn't. I rock back and forth insanely whenever I hear the name Roy Aitken

It's not the fact that we've only played six games. It's the fact that we've only picked up seven points from those six games, despite already playing most of the shite teams. Now we're into a run of games that'll see us up against Celtic, Hearts, Hibs and Killie before October is out.

Because Roy Aitken and Willie Miller were a winning combination for us!

Pitty you can't rise to the occasion that is Hamilton, or Inverness or Dundee United. I've given JC plenty of chances over the years, but enough is enough. Charlie Allan talks of giving him til Christmas. At this rate, we will be well and truly out of all competitions by Christmas and facing a struggle to make the top six. Sorry JC, your time is up NOW! Time to get someone in who can bring stability to this squad. Someone who can say "okay lads, 4-4-2 again today. Seve, I'm sticking you in midfield, seeing as you were hired as a midfielder".

The Gap Band - Oops Up Side Your Head

Try three, mate! True. But all three of those chances you ballooned miles over the bar. Doing it once in a match is easy to do. Doing it a second time, we might forgive you. A third time? You're just taking the piss!! I wouldn't mind if ONE of those shots actually hit the target. Not even scored ... just hit the target so the keeper actually had to do some work.

POD - Alive

Basically, ANY clips filmed either inside Pittodrie or of the actual Dons themselves is illegal. Filming the Red Army at Pittodrie for example is illegal, because Pittodrie is part of Aberdeen's "product". However, filming the Red Army singing at Tannadice, for example, is okay as neither the fans NOR Tannadice are governed by the AFC copyright rules.

Pink Floyd - Keep Talking

Diamond by a country mile. Kerr was okay. Apart from that, shite from everybody else.

Because there are never any TV cameras at Pittodrie?! There's something called RedTV that's been running for 3 seasons now, min! Get with the times.

Manager - I voted this one. I think JC has ran out of ideas. He might've been able to use the excuse of "the team are still trying to gel". But that's what a pre-season is for. They had six matches before the season started to try their luck against a variety of teams ranging from amateur non-league Dutch sides to the current European champions. To now be four home matches without a win is diabolical, especially considering Inverness had NEVER won at Pittodrie, Hamilton hadn't won here in something like 57 years, and United were winless and bottom of the league. That should've been nine points. Instead, the only home point we get so far is against the current league-toppers! WTF?! That's not down to lack of skill. That is down to lack of leadership, lack of motivation and, more importantly, players being played out of position. There's only one man who is responsible for all the above ... Jimmy Calderwood. Time to go. Time to give someone else (like Jimmy Nicholl) a chance to show what he can do with what is, in all honesty, one of the better squads in the current SPL. Players - I think the players are good, with the obvious few exceptions. Director of Football - For being "Director Of Football" I really don't know what he does. He was a magnificent player in his days. But, as Harry Ramsden's proved, success on the park does not automatically follow you when you hang up your boots. To be perfectly honest, Director Of Football / Chief Executive / Whatever Else Name it is given has never really had someone competent in the seat since Dave Cormack. Dave was the only one who really saw what the fans wanted and tried to structure the club's direction around the desires of those very fans. His only problem was Milne spotted his part in the Cummings Consortium and ... faster than you can say Nigel Pepper's been sent off? ... Dave was fired, err I mean sent packing, err I mean he found a sick granny in America to look after. Stewart Milne - yes, he is the common factor in all of our embarassments over the past 15 years. He has allowed managers to spend ridiculous amounts of cash that the club did not have. However, when we've had golden opportunities to reap the rewards of what was a glorious youth system (for example), he has failed to use his financial prowess to capitalise financially. But, despite being the cause of all our financial difficulties, he is the only thing keeping the administrators from Pittodrie's door. Fans Opinions - many of us still have fond memories of the glorious 80s ... the glorious European nights, the regular whippings we used to dish out to BOTH sides of the Old Firm (not that I remember Celtic being any good in the 80s anyway). I've heard so many pundits hark on about how we are all living in the 80s and setting standards that are too high for the Dons to ever reach. I'm sorry, but maybe one cup in seventeen years is good enough for Killie, Hearts or shit like that. But I expect a club of Aberdeen's stature to be in semi-finals EVERY YEAR, and lifting at least one cup every four or five years. That, I say, is realistic. Regrettably the Aberdeen teams of the past decade-and-a-half have fallen woefully short of anything near that target. Not good enough for this fanbase ... which is why we only managed 11,000 fans against our biggest east coast rivals. Wasn't that long ago we attracted at least 3000 more than that to a game against United. I don't blame the fans at all for that. I blame all the options above us in this poll

I can't spot any difference, tbh! Still, any reason to watch what is still one of my favourite goals of all time. Jess at his absolute best!
