The Retard were running that one today....I only saw one turned on its front in tescos honest

There is no element of 'depends' for you though as you know exactly who it is

Tourettes is a FUCKING SHITPOT and the people are CUNTS.

Good. Keep him under the radar. We are going to struggle to keep this guy beyond next season if not even sooner.

It's Darren Ferguson we are courting. Thats why the MacAnthony is warning us off and saying we can't afford him rather than 'I have heard nothing from Aberdeen'

In the intertoto-specialneeds-June1-qualifying round ?

Has he not gone now ? We just don't need to discuss this anymore.

This could all be true and as Funster says he might be worth keeping on the grounds of some decent displays as a CB but my point is that in all honesty I don't believe we will see the Seve that we have seen in the past. That doesn't mean we won't, just that there is real risk that we won't and where there is that level of risk I don't believe that a club like ours can afford to carry it. We may lose out on some great twighlight performances and UTD or Hibs may gain them but on balance I still would prefer to see us move on.

I think as a club we have to get away from this idea that there is value in a player who can play the odd brilliant game. If you ask Dons fans how they honestly believe Seve will perform next season should he choose to stay then I am willing to bet that, free from emotive thinking, most would say he would be lazy, slow and disinterested. We all know he has been playing shop window football and yet this myth that he might just turn something around continues to exist. Its been the same with Smith. We have to stop the nostalgia and hankering after past performances. These guys have contributed their best to Aberdeen and we should thank them for it. However, with ever tightening squads and smaller budgets in the offing with reduced TV money we simply cannot afford to carry players who can't perform week-in, week-out. Its ironic that many fans say there is no room for sentimentality when selecting a manager but seem to hang onto it when talking about players who have been performers in the past. Time to let go and start looking to the future and players who have youth and legs that work.

Apart from McGhee's story about the Morton game I can't say I was in the least bit entertained. Even my wife, who knows nothing of football, asked how many times I need to watch the Dons running about on the beach in the freezing cold before I get bored of it. She had a point.

Surely the best way to quash such chat is to avoid it completely and talk about the future. Rather than start up threads about it. Of course, by posting this I am merely continuing the spiral

Footymad have Darren Ferguson up at Pittodrie already http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=4&fid=27&sty=2&act=1&mid=2125890223

Burnley currently 1-0 up against the Blades so that will rule out Coyle for Parkhead.

Its on BBC now. He is gone

You can't beat a bit of shop-windae fitba right enough

I'm keen to see Pawlett and Paton becoming first team regulars. They have both looked like very exciting prospects, very comfortable with the ball at their feet and taking players on. If we can get a manager in who prefers that style of player then we might yet see some, dare I say, exciting football from Aberdeen next season. Aside from that a solid defensive line has to be priority. Happy with our midfield options if we can keep Kerr and MacDonald fit with the afore mentioned flair players in the mix. If the frontline can develop with guys like Maguire next season then I'd say we are looking dapper.

United have had their best two seasons in a long time and Levein has done an exceptional job, these are facts. However, its indicative of the level they are at as a club that this is the best it gets. They lived in our shadow when we were kings of Europe and they continue to do so. They are a shitty little outfit playing bland but competent football under Levein. Hats off to that.

I suspect it will be McGhee. I think he would do a good job for a couple of seasons.

Decent contribution from ZD and Charlie. Poor striking performance although was Hearts top scorer not a midfielder with 6 (Aguiar), now that is poor

Maguire on the bench due to illness. Mair and Foster as CB pairing Aluko up front with Miller

The fire sale continues.

Setanta on the box, BBC Radio Scotland blaring and DT live chat for me COYR :ultras: :ultras:

Just need Aguira and Driver to go and they will be all but cooked for next season.

'lynched to death' is a dreadful piece of writing. If this is representative of your standards then I'd consider pulling more of the book that just that section. Best wishes, Ajja

This just caps off a messy season beautifully.
