115. Crowds Swarm To Hamilton vs Inverness Midweek Tie

WTF? Duff wasn't sacked! We took him on-loan, United didn't renew his contract, then we got him on a free transfer. Does that mean that every single player who moves under freedom of contract is actually being "sacked"? Typical shite from the shite rag that isn't good enough to wipe the shite from my arse! And regarding the sponsorship deal, JC was already told what his budget would be LONG before the new sponsorship deal emerged. If we got a deal worth three quid to have the King Street Chippy as our shirt sponsor, JC would still have the same budget! Fact of the matter is, the club has already settled on a budget for JC's squad. Anything else goes to the business of running Aberdeen Football Club. But hey that's the truth. The Record never did let the truth get in the way of a good story. Especially if it means they can stick the boot into Aberdeen

I ain't whinging about the fact that there's no Aberdeen players in that list. The amount of injuries we had to just about every single Aberdeen player meant that we achieved 4th place thanks to a phenomenal effort from the entire squad, not just individuals. But my point is more aiming at questioning why the likes of McLeod wanks over United getting 5th, whilst the "patchy" Dons barely get a mention for coming in 4th.

Hehe. I like him already! Get him signed .... oh wait

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_prem/7419251.stm Have a read of Murdo's "Team Of The Season". Basically the entire team is made up of Rangers and Celtic players. There's the odd United player in there. He goes on about the United players as if they've done something phenomenal this season. And the only Aberdeen player to get a mention was Barry Nicholson. Barry didn't get into his team, but Murdo mentioned him in the midfield as he was "Mr Consistent in a patchy Aberdeen". Erm, excuse me. Where did Aberdeen finish the season? And tell me, where did United finish?

Hmmm, doesn't appear to have a perfectly round collar. Looks to me like it draws to a point just above the v-bit of the collarbone. I like it. Just so long as the sponsor graphic is tasteful. I think the 07/08 Apex logo was tastefully done. I think the ADT logo was hideous. And the Atlantic Telecom logo was just so huge it looked like the team was Atlantic Telecom FC, with the minor sponsor being AFC.

Mars Bar ... knife. Potatoe ... potato

I know we've always been hopeless in a 3-5-2 formation, but to accomodate the best players I've placed them into this system GK: Kjaer RB: McNaughton, CB: Anderson, LB: Snoyle CDM: Deloumeaux RW: Jamie Smith, CM: Heikkinen, LW: Dow CAM: Jess RS: Winters, LS: Stavrum Subs: Zerouali, Severin, Whyte

If he's demanding too much, fuck him. I'm glad we've said allegedly said get tae fuck to him. The cream of the crop players can demand decent wages. The rest need to do with what the clubs can offer them, or risk being stuck on the dole queue (or with Plymouth Argyle). Foran never has and never will be the cream of the crop. Maybe he was a handy player for Shamrock Rovers ... but if he's trying to milk AFC for all they're worth, he can get tae fuck. Should put the money to good use and get a QUALITY player like Maybury wrapped up and ready for another couple of seasons at Pittodrie.

In that respect, why not just go for Stevie Fulton. Surely he must be the BIGGEST player we could ever wish to have on our books.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think Cannigia went to Dundee for the football. Dundee's probably one of the easiest ports in the country to smuggle drugs into. Why else would he suggested that Maradonna would be happy at home in that cold, smelly, depressing shithole?

I play in defence only because I'm chicken-shit of going forward and taking a bit of responsibility up front. I'm pretty shit in defence too, apart from moments of "nae-bad"ness. Therefore ... I am Tommy Solberg

Still one of the happiest days in recent times when Leighton came back to Aberdeen. I mind the day we signed him, my Killie-supporting flatmate said "might as well hand you guys the title right now then!". Leighton was the best keeper in the league by a mile, even at that stage. Unfortunately for him, he had Whyte, Inglis, Gary Smith (the second version) and Tzvetanov infront of him, hence why we most definitely did NOT win the league that year.

If you leave the Pittodrie Bar at 2.58pm on a Saturday afternoon, you can start the fifteen minute walk to your place on The Y, and still be there for kickoff

Alex Notman. That's the bugger!! Still, the link at the top definitely shows LEE BULLEN signed for ABERDEEN on 14/5/08. Bit of a worry. Maybe we're also set to move to our new stadium. Much to the delight of many stuck-in-the-muds, the new stadium will remain within the vicinity of Pittodrie, just to the east ... where the driving range currently is. To this end, the new ground will be named East End Park. And then another train station will be opened in Aberdeen ... this time, up in Bucksburn. Thus, Aberdeen fans will have a choice of two train stations to go to, but neither will be situated anywhere near the new football ground. And offshore rigging company Dietsman Engineering will be our new sponsors next year. The deal will be so huge, that the Dons will be taking on part of the sponsor name, thus becoming Dietsman Aberdeen Football Club (or DAFC for short). And because our new stadium will be wrecking part of the north-east's golfing facilities, the club have decided it'd be fitting to give itself the nickname of "The Pars", in honour of Aberdeen's golfing community. :hammer:

http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=19162 Here's me hunting for the name of the Man Utd kid we signed for about three weeks about ten years ago. So I browse to soccerbase.com, hit the "Aberdeen squad list" link, and see Lee Bullen at the top of the list. Did we sign him? Or can I rest my weary head and simply put this one down to an administrative error on Soccerbase's behalf?

Why splash the cash for a player who has still not really done very much. Sure, he's been on Liverpool's books. But then Ben Thornley was a product of Old Trafford.

Purely an opinion. In terms of statistics that FIFA can look at on paper, Maguire is probably only marginally below Glass' statistics in terms of the number of high-profile matches he's been involved in for both club and country at this particular stage of his career.

Plus, surely the fact that he is still under the umbrella of the FIFA ruling, then even Bosman compensation next summer would see us probably get more than £300,000 for Maguire. IIRC, we got more than that from Newcastle for Glass under the same rule.

They probably watched Soccer AM, and made a judgment on that performance alone. "What a character he must be in the dressing room", thought the Coventry City management team. "Aye", replied JC via facsimile.

Simple answer to this is: Back then, we were running on a POSITIVE bank balance, we were the SECOND biggest club in Scotland (cos Celtic were in absolute turmoil until around 1994/95, but most Celtic fans don't know this cos most Celtic fans didn't become Celtic fans until Fergus McCann took the helm), and we were one of the biggest draws for any player cos we were in the hunt for titles, were regularly in Europe, and cup finals were a bit of a common thing. Now, all we can hope for in the way of big signings is the hope that someone who ONCE was a big name decides to come to Aberdeen to see himself through to retirement. Someone of the caliber of Barthez, for example, would probably say yes to a year with the Dons in his twilight years. But back in the day we were capable of getting players in who had a reputation and who were also NOT past their best.

True about Hearts, in a way. But then, when Burley left, Hearts' dramatic slide began. This in itself is proof to me that, if you have players with the ability, then the right manager will get you the results you require. JC had a squad last season who, in the final game, showed what they can do. It wasn't Rangers who were off the ball, it was Aberdeen who were that bit better than their rivals. Problem is, JC keeps pissing around with his continental tactics, playing players out of position to accomodate his mates, and generally fucking up the easy games. If he took the same approach to every game as he took to the final six games, there definitely wouldn't have been a 20-odd point gap between us and the Old Firm. Might've even got that gap down to single-figures.
