I know I'm in a minority, but I still think this is a bad bad move from us. He's lethal when he's given a chance. Easily the most clinical striker we have on our books BAR NONE! He's gonna haunt us BIG STYLE!!!!!!!

Agreed, Bobby. Just because this topic has been brought up before, doesn't mean we're not allowed to bring it up again. Fact of the matter is, time and time again the topic of Mackie being as much use as a chocolate fireguard has been brought up. Yet, the fucker is still on our books! He's not a striker. He's not a footballer! He's an athlete who can (once upon a time) run pretty fast. With the amount of chances that boy has had each time he plays, he should be into the 20s each season! To me, he's the last piece of the poison that brought Aberdeen to its knees in the early 2000s. We got rid of the likes of the Young brothers (albeit we took one back), Ryan Esson, Kevin Rutkiepish, Jamie McAllister, etc. These boys were a cancer upon AFC, as all of them just sat on a pretty decent wage and did next to fuck all because they were local loons who thought they were big fish in small ponds. They were more about the Saturday night on the town than the Saturday afternoon on the pitch. We managed to weed them all out, except for Mackie. It's about time we got rid of him. I'm certain Inverness, Killie or Dundee would love to grab him for their squads. They're welcome to him, as far as I'm concerned.

Dunno much about this Lescinel chap, apart from a couple of things: (1) When he turned up for Falkirk, he was pretty solid and decent (2) He kept going AWOL at Falkirk ... firstly when he buggered off to a funeral in France without telling anyone at Falkirk, and then secondly when he failed to turn up to a meeting with the manager to discuss a permanent deal. Bit of a worry that we've got a wanderer on our hands here. But if he's more solidly built than yer average paper-weight Ricky Foster, then I'll at least be a wee bit happy

And to think there was a time we could sit 1-0 down with five minutes to go against ANY Scottish Premier team. We could look to the bench and see Duncan Shearer and Dean Windass sitting there, scratching their nads. We could call either one onto the pitch, and there was a strong likelihood that we'd WIN the match. Cannae say that about any of our subs these days. I certainly would never say that about Mackie! He had his golden year in the 2001/02 season. We should've flogged him the following season when Cardiff came a-knocking.

A bit mouthy at times which can get him intae trouble wi' the ref. But he has a crackin right-foot on him. He scored more goals vs Danish team Farum than Aberdeen did!

Could be Eddie Thompson for all I care. At least he'd splash the cash, lol

Agreed, GS. In that cup semi against the huns, Jess was all over the huns, taking the piss out of Gazza et al. Why? Because Bernard had such control of the midfield that Jess had both the time and the space to display his talents. I've still got very very fond memories of Colin Cameron's "Comeback Match" at Tynecastle in February 1999. It was all over the back pages of the Evening News for weeks how Cameron was going to destroy the Dons on his comeback. They cleanly failed to realise that this match was also Bernard's comeback match. Bernard completely stole the show and outclassed every player on the park, with probably the only exception being Thomas Flogel. From memory, Bernard scored the first of two goals. If it weren't for the hype the loon got in the days building up to this match, I wouldn't have known that Cameron had even played in that match.

Yep. There was an issue with our URL redirection process at our domain name registrar who, if you've visited us in the past 48 hours, you'll know are 123-reg.co.uk. It should be all sorted now. But any changes we make to the domain registration generally take 48 hours to populate throughout the world, depending on how often your Internet Service Provider updates their Domain Name Servers. Should be all good now, though

7. Lee Miller's new contract 8. Jamie Smith back from injury until 31st August 9. JDV has been so sensational in training, he's like a new signing anyway! 10. ... Darren Young

With the size of our squad, I'd be happy with Mark Hammill. FFS, I think we're gonna need a few Jedi Mind Tricks to win enough of our games this season to get in the top four.

That's AFC's moto ... "don't fulfill your potential". See McNamara, Nicholson, Bagshaw, Crawford, Lovell, Whelan ... hell, even stretching back to the likes of Winters, Jess (2nd time around), Gillies and Kiriakov. These are all players who have/had bags of potential and bags of ability, but just failed to produce it whilst wearing the red of Aberdeen Football Club. The manager who can fathom the reason for this is the manager who will take us to our next league title! Needless to say, I don't think JC is that manager. As good as he is, I don't think JC will figure this one out!

I was going to mention ... when the hell did Walker even mention taking Touzani's place? By taking Touzani's place, does he refer to taking his place at the Scott Booth Memorial Medical Bench ?

Yeah, but this could be applied to JC's approaches for Mark Kerr's signature. JC apparently said "look mate, it's time to make up your mind. Training starts with us in three days time, and I want you to be there". Hence why Kerr turned down a host of offers from England to have one more crack at the SPL for a bigger club than Youshitehead

lre Eh? But Nicholson already said he wasn't moving to the best paying club. Otherwise he would've seriously considered the offer from Aberdeen. Fact of the matter is, his latest contract would've been the last chance for him to really test himself at the highest level he could ever hope for before he retires ... hence his reasoning behind trying things in England. This is EXACTLY the same thing that Russell Anderson left us for. It wasn't for the money being offered by Aberdeen. It was for the chance to bow out at as high a level as he could possibly achieve. I have no problems with a player wanting to aim higher than his current standard. Hence, I have no qualms about Nicholson leaving us. I mean, we know that Ah-bah-deen FC, are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen. But we're not exactly in the best league in the world, are we?

wtf? This is news that is MONTHS old. I know that the Daily Ranger is having problems with its RSS feeds, hence last week it had the headline of "Dons Demolish Danes" ... and I was like "cool, so we've bought a stack of Brondby players?!"

Same reason we had to let Nicholson go. He wanted a fresh start elsewhere, as he's been at Tannalice for five years. That's a LONG time for footballers these days. Especially in Dundee! Five years in Dundee? No wonder his fitness levels are phenomenal ... constantly running from the minkers

:lolabove:

Might as well throw a nailbomb at these fuckers. Not only will I take out Baddiel & Skinner, but I'll also take out two England fans in the process! Awesome!!!

Tinky Arab wanker http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/b4/e9/0,,5~256436,00.jpg[/img] He puts the "HATE" in Hately McNamara, Larsson AND Lennon! Why kill two birds with one stone, when you can kill THREE?! I'd land a punch on Greavsey's puss any day. Why? Cos I reckon it's what Iain St John wanted to do for years! ... and the non-football related slap-candidates are Will "bum-chin" Carling Inbred little fuckwit.

Goochy! That is all I need to say Ronnie O'Sullivan: Cunt

... to you! Seriously, who is that? All I see is the smaller Chuckle Brother. The bigger one looked like Jimmy Calderwood when he had a 'tache.

Ch-ch-chuckle Vision?

Not to mention the fact that JDV will be so fit, he'll basically be "like a new signing".

Dodds was a fairly decent striker. Certainly when I first learned we were in the hunt for Robbie Winters, I rubbed my hands at the thought of us having the fastest strikeforce in the league by a country mile! But you got to remember, when Dodds was scoring for fun, he had a pretty decent midfield servicing him. Jess, Hignett, Glass, Bernard, Grant. I mean, Gillies and Kiriakov aside, Dodds had a pretty decent midfield feeding him. And he had the likes of Booth, Shearer and Windass partnering him up front. ANY striker is gonna benefit from playing alongside players of their class.

You want Sports Smash? Seriously? I thought nobody played that! I'll easily put it back on for you if you like.

Was never based on skill, either. His game was always based on "lamp the fucker. Just make sure you check which way the ref is looking first"

The only two games I've taken off are Breakout and Plumber. Breakout has an almost identical game available called Breakit. And Plumber had issues with saving high scores, so I got rid of it. But all the rest should be there.
