So was it Delta rather than Omicron you had then ? A mate of mine had the former in start of November still has reduced lung capacity. Hope you recovery quickly.

We finally had confirmation (subject to Covid playing ball) that our borders will be loosening at the end of the month. With folk from the rest of the world starting to come at some point before July. Personally, I think it is a bit slow and not quite sure why aussies aren't allowed back as the same time as kiwis that live in aussie, but there we go. Probably due to Scomo's conservative policies. We've had some pathetic attempts at a convoy of "trucks" copying the losers in Canadia over the last few days. hilarious as most of them didn't even have any trucks in them. Just a bunch of jumped up anti vax / anti govt / racist arseholes cruising in their utes around the country, culminating in them arriving in Wellington and terrorising the people in the city. A few folk were running across motorways yesterday, they really are the bottom feeders of society. They're now outside parliament threatening to lynch politicians...coincidence that a company called counterspin with links to the fat racist fuck Bannon was set up recently in NZ? Don't think so. We've seen a rise in yank style "politics" here, and a huge number of trump, confederate and american flags at these idiot marches. If only we did live in the authoritarian state they claim to, they'd all be gone Anyway, anti vaxxers here are in the huge minority, uptake of the booster has been huge and our numbers are very good. Weirdly it may help us by being a bit slower on our actual roll out (looking at Israel)

Finally saw Dune last night. Loved it and looking forward to the follow on films.
-
5-0 Tim’s, no dons scorer. We’re horseshit.
-
Jack Ross would be fucking awful. No hibbie I’ve met speaks highly of him. Huge pass. This is no way an endorsement of the current regime though. It isnt.

January transfer window and the squad as it stands
manc_don replied to baggy89's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
A tim mate of mine was amazed we haven't gone for him. Personally I thought he was done, but I haven't seen him play in a long time. -
Kind of feels an air of inevitability about this one. Don’t think we’ll get much out of it and anderson will score. Surely our away form has to change at some point? They managed to beat hibs last weekend but followed up with a narrow loss to the tractor saints. I really hoped he get Besuijen on the ball a bit more this time round. He’s clearly a very skilful player but I was frustrated for him. Team just bypassed him completely. When is Ramsay going to regain his form? I suspect this has a big role in why no one really made any solid offers for him. anyway, apologies, not feeling overly optimistic regarding the club at the moment. out bed bed bed 1-1, Ferguson
-
Seems to be getting some rave reviews. Tim mate of mine absolutely loves him. We’re fucked.
-
That was pish. Glad I didn't have to go out my way to watch it. Besuijen looks good. Was seriously starved of the ball in the second half though (likewise Ramirez). Got what we deserved I think. Still, shite football.
-
Been impressed with him. We started off brightly but county seem to be coming into the game a lot more

I see the club are holding Christie up as a success story. Was it fuck. He couldn't play in the games we needed him most, left and scored against us in the cup final. Fuck. That. -

manc_don replied to baggy89's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Fucking ridiculous. I don't doubt he's talented, but what in the actual fuck. We got burnt before, but I guess this is how the club view themselves now. We're Atlanta's bitches, why not the tims. A(DP)FC. -
Hope we manage to get a replacement in before the window closes. Thanks Hedges, on your day you were brilliant.
-
A game we really need to win. Results went our way on the weekend but we shouldn't be relying on others to be less shit than us. County obviously had a great result against der hun mk2. yesterday so will be feeling confident. Us, who knows. We're shite away and doubt this is going to change. Is Besuijen good to go for this one? I'd hope so given Hedges fled down south today. Be interesting to see what if anything happens on the final day. Out Breakfast with the boys WFH WFH 2-0 county, no dons scorer
-
Ffs. I mean I guess in the short term it won’t make a difference as he wasn’t likely to go straight into the first team, but still.
-
He’s not worth 1m even on his day imo. Was due to leave for free and has been practically anonymous this season and for some of last. 200k + add ons, I’m ok with that. We really need to have another player in though as one creative player is what has stifled us this season. Just hope the club realise this.
-
Quite concerning, hopefully he manages to get the support he clearly needs.
-
They’re on a shite run of form, and im actually glad we’re at home. Had we been away they’d have more of a chance. At least we’ve now got a shot at a result. Not sure why I feel like that after the shit show from the midweek game but I do. H2H wise results have been all over the shop, but generally speaking, not many goals so given both our predicaments, would expect this to remain unchanged. out bed bed bed 1-1, Ferguson pen
-
Results didn't really go our way this week, with saints obviously beating us last night and arabs winning tonight. Both teams are now only 3 points behind us, and we play tractor saints on the weekend. A game that is notoriously tough for us to win. So Goldie, hope you bring us some luck! Elsewhere, tims beat hearts 2-1, hibs drew 0-0 with Well, as did Perth Saints vs Dundee, huns beat livi 1-0. Only real positive is that neither Hibs or Well pulled away from us. Whether we're able to make the most of that remains to be seen.
-
Not sure what Ramsay was doing at the goal? It was some finish by Ronan, but FFS, we gave him all the time in the world. P.S. We are fucking shite.
-
It's made working more appealing so far. Woeful stuff.

A mate of mine who's an Ado fan said he was quick and technically very good. Just a bit short. Where've we heard that before? -

Sad but true. I don't want to help build up their fringe players for them to profit massively. It doesn't help us short or long term imo. Nice of one of my former local clubs supply us with another player. Will try do some digging about him. Gutted McGinn is off, I had hoped he'd see the season out but I imagine his wage is quite high. -
Games are coming thick and fast now, so I'd imagine we'll see a bit of rotation in the squad as the next few weeks progress. Saints are another team on a bit of a patchy spell, however they did beat the arabs last week so would have gained a lot of confidence from that. I was surprised to see that they were only 6 points behind us, so we're certainly by no means clear of any danger. Still surprised to see Hedges is still here, although if there was a pre-contract arrangement then hopefully he'll at least put a shift in. Ferguson is another that i'm surprised to still see in red, but he has been playing pretty well the last couple of months. Think I'd try to keep as much of the same team as possible, we're gradually seeing what Glass views as his strongest XI. Obviously the above two, plus Ramsay may change things, but no point in not playing our best while we can. Out Bed WFH so probably trying to catch the game WFH 2-1 Dons, Ferguson and Brown

I’d heard that and was sure he’d played at city.
