If they do not have the bottle to stick away a penalty from 12 yards then how do you have faith in them to have the bottle to stick away a chance in a big game? If a striker does not have the bottle to take a penalty he should not be playing the professional game.

Only true measure is how many of them make the grade at SPL level or above.

So if Kerr is so good at this sideways passing why do we never prodcue the killer pass?

Would this be the same soul searching they were doing after the semi final last year and Queens Park the year before?

If they are not better than what is being picked then it is still a yard stick if a pretty shit one.

Should have said that I am not saying either them is good enough for Scotland just that they are better than what we have.

Sadly mcAllister is a better left back than Mulgrew and clubfoot as pish as he is still better than Foster so I do not see your point.

When has this happened? Apart from Alex Miller most managers have got at least a season beofe the fans have turned. There will be plenty of managers wanting the Aberdeen job because despite what you think we are still a big club and will be seen as a good opportunity.

Pretty sure we did. Was Either Alex "Wanker" Miller or Aitken I think.

So your not coming down this weekend then?

Agreed.

Not just JC to pay off though as would need to pay off JN and Clark as well so will still be a fair amount of money to find but still think it needs to be done.

Not sure but he has not done to much when out on his own. Got Notts County relegated and is struggling at Dundee, which is possibly down to the mess Rae left more than him but still not doing that great. Maybe he is one of these guys who is better as an assistant rather than a manager.

Sorry just assumed that players who's job it is to score goals would be the obvious choice to put the ball in the net from 12 yards but you of course are right that was a stupid assumption.

Good coach but piss poor manager?

Dundee fans I know hate Jocky Scott and say he had them playing some dreadful football in his last period in charge and not much has changed this time arround either. As for not caring about the cup!! It is the only chance of winning anything so how can fans not care about winning trophies? Surely they care about their club being successful?

I did not want to be right I want Aberdeen to win every week and would have loved to have been wrong about Calderwood and there were even times where I thought I was but sadly in the end what I feared about him was proved correct. As for the comment about some folk on the board if that was not true why was it that anyone who posted an alternative point to the JC is great view was without fail ridiculed and attacked?

Not saying it will work for sure but think a new manager will have more chance than JC.

Was about to say the same where was Mackie Smith and Wright? The subs tonight was a fucking joke there was so many players tonight that couldn't care but the buck stops with the manager. Wright should have been on earlier than he was, if he was as good as JC said right at the start of the season when we paid good money for him. :hammer:

No more excuses he has to go now while we have a chance of making europe through the league. Hopefully we will get a boost from the new manager coming in to get us into 4th. That said whoever comes in is going to have some right dross to work with most of it signed and kept on by a man that most on here until a few hours ago said was the best thing since sliced bread.

You driving up to help make the bumper crowd then?

Glad I am in Berlin this weekend.

Sorry are you comparing drawing 0-0 with Bayern Muncih away from home with sitting in trying to defend a 1-0 nil lead against a 1st division side?

I thought BBC had used up there two games before the final by showing the game yesterday?

You looked pretty rough on the train. Thought you were going to puke when I offered you a beer.
