Quite a shocking attendance yesterday for our season opener. Would have thought we have got more than 12K for a game against the sneck. Back on topic though, we should not be losing to the likes of ICT at HOME. On their patch is fair enough because its a difficult place to go, but at Pittodrie, not acceptable. JC, get it sorted and fast.

As GD said, Aluko and Nicholson would walk into our team, they did last season! I agree wholeheartedly with whats been said with regards to the laziness in finding replacements. We all know they are out there, and we've always known the Jimmy goes for who he knows which is what frustrates the hell out of me. I'm not worried, just yet anyway, but definitely concerned! I just wish Jimmy would see what we can see and most of the world can see.

The warning signs were definitely there, and having not been to a single pre season game I guess I just put it all down to mad pre-season syndrome. I hope to fuck they get their act together, but its not time to panic, but it didn't sound pretty at all. We seem to do ok even though we don't win our first game. Just makes the season more interesting.....

To think I was actually looking forward to the new season...I'm in two minds whether or not to go to Motherwell next week, though I do think it will be a different team performance with Zander and Wright coming in. I hope so anyway, but we'll see. Not pressing the panic button just yet but I'm not impressed with today. Even Billy Dodds was saying we shouldn't be losing to Caley at home...Says it all really.

Nacho novo is a cunt. That is all I have to say on this matter.

Just didn't work out for Lovell, shame that, but oh well, I agree though, I think he'll turn out to be decent for us. Welcome aboard and I wish him/us, every success

I would agree with that. Not bothered about really.

If they'd have done that there would have been uproar. Well done AFC on this one, best they could have done I think

Just as well he's Belgian then He's playing in top flight of Belgium so I wouldn't hold him in the same breath as Dave Bus or anyone else. But I do agree that some of JC's Dutch signings haven't been the best and there is precedent for shiteness.

Not good news, apparently (Source: Northsound) he's not coming on trial as JC hasn't heard from him in a while. We need a competent CB sooner rather than later.

Any news on his medical/signing yet?

I agree with that. I'd love us to be able to push the Old farm but I can't really see it, not yet anyway. But Calderwood being second favourite for the sack seems crazy. As much as I dislike him and minus some crazy decisions, no-one can argue that he's doing a good job. Even Mizer.

I am quote impressed with him through reading the article and especially that segment. Certainly seems more mature. At least that'll keep the "we should be aiming to win the league" crowd

Completely agree, was going to say the same thing. Well said

I see Craig Levein has been fined £5000 by the SFA over the behaviour of that cunt mcurry. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee_utd/7543710.stm

Actually there is a Dutch version of the name

Stuart is not a very Japanese name though is it

That would be correct, here's another

According to this website, we're after him. http://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/site/nieuws/85441/Verdonck_probeert_het_nu_bij_Aberdeen.html I reckon he was the mysterious belgian that failed to appear the other week. Fits the bill, CB, free agent, but I can't remember his time at ADO.

Well, to be honest, its not like they don't get the practical experience at Pittodrie is it

I think its safe to assume he will get 15 goals this season. Always happens when his contract is up.

This was posted on MAD, apparently from WM, but they were unsure and hadn't posted a sauce so take it with a pinch of salt but i'd hope this was true. this newspaper printed an article related to Aberdeen Football Club that was factually incorrect. It has caused the club a lot of problems and extra workload today, fielding calls and emails from irate fans and having supporters threatening not to renew season tickets and to boycott matches or protest in other ways. It's not the first time this newspaper has printed inaccuracies, in fact plain lies about our club, so I think it is time we took action'

folk on MAD were saying this is because AFC couldn't get the required medical staff in. I.e. he's going to have a very stringent medical to ensure his knee will hold, personally, should this not be done with any player anyway?

roll on this season
