I suspect Hibs will be too much for us and we'll end up with another draw. I also have little faith in the huns beating the arabs, although it is probably more likely now they know any win will see them Champions. We do however have a pretty good record of final day victories in recent years, and hopefully with a near capacity crowd we can do it again.

I'm "interested" in who gets relegated and who wins the league but it matters not a jot compared to wanting the dons to succeed. It makes no difference to me who wins the title as long as afc get into europe

who gives a flying fuck

They would get a lot more folk paying £5 to get who wouldn't have gone otherwise. Anyway I suppose now we will have a decent crowd anyway....surely to god.

Every deal they do at Pittodrie has all these stupid fucking rules attached. £5 entry - good £5 entry for mate of ST holder - ok, but then the mate can't sit anywhere near said ST holder so will be by himself and they must also get down to Pittodrie to buy the tickets in advance. Why not just make it £5 in for the whole ground, pay at the gate. You would find that a hell of a lot more successful than this current deal. But I suppose at least they are trying.

Why can we have a card display at Ibrox for a Rangers v Aberdeen game but we cab't have a card display at Pittodrie for an Aberdeen v Rangers game? Why?

Although bare in mind that if the scum beat Falkirk in the cup final (what ever that is) then, if I understand the rules correctly we would go into the 3rd qualifying round instead

I always presumed it was part of the training before every Aberdeen - Rangers matches for the hun forwards to practice sliding feet first towards the goalkeeper

You didn't know why Aberdeen fans hate Hately? Really? From where I was standing I thought it was a sending off, two footed, raised foot with studs showing. Was pretty sure Dougal wouldn't give a red card but when I noticed the Linesman flagging I became a bit more confident the right decision would have been made. Shame the linesman couldn't have been as helpful when standing right next to Flopperty and Mulgrew.

It certainly wasn't the linesman that got Mulgrew sent off as he said fuck all to the ref. It's high fucking time afc stopped defending hun players, it's not like JC's bullshit is the first time a comment like that has been made about a hun sending off

off to the pub in preparation for the trip to snake mountain. Lets do these fuckers :ultras: :ultras: :ultras: :ultras:

why no thread Was dreading this game, but the closer it gets the more I am looking forward to it (having said that if it all goes Pete Tong I'm getting the fuck out of dodge well before the final whistle). Anyway still tickets available....that once in each of the last 2 seasons we've failed to sell out our pitiful Ibrox allocation, and while understandable is a tad sad. Lets get torn about them:

not renewed and don't plan to......but will eventually I enjoyed Tue night, there was more passion and fight from the team than I have seen most the season but ultimately came away with the same frustrated, disenchanted feeling. Ignoring the other night I can think of a 45mins vs Motherwell and a 45mins vs Falkirk when I have been entertained at Pittodrie this year (I missed both Hearts and Celtic at home over the new year). For £200+ that is a terrible return. It was exactly the same last season but I had cup runs to distract me. Truth is over the last 2 seasons I have rarely been entertained at Pittodrie in the league and if I wasn't such a mug there is no way I would renew next season. As it is I will hold off as long as possible in the hope that I find something more interesting to do instead...

First game since Hamilton in March. Unexpectedly excited. Hope they don't fuck it up. [move] COME ON YOU REDS[/move]

Diamond has been spectacularly awful too often this season to be in this poll. Not that I have any suggestions for who should take his place......McDonald maybe, but he has been the poorest out of those listed. "Passion" doesn't make up for a lack of basic spacial awareness and positioning

The commentary was nauseating. Yeah I get that they like their football in Newcastle but the sycophantic bullshit about their passion outstripping that of any other set of fans in the country is just that, bullshit. Didn't sound so bloody passionate the other week and other than deluded messianic hysteria for the likes of Shearer and Keegan I don't see what makes them any more passionate than Liverpool, Aberdeen or even Stenhousmuir fans.

Super massive black hole to division one awaiting the loser

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2009/may/11/premier-league-relegation-battle Relegation hyperbole reaches a new level of massiveness The end-of-season must-win football drama is too massive for the English language to manage This is the time of the year when football adopts the language of WWE wrestling, when every day is Judgment Day, when you switch on the TV to watch a bit of live football and find yourself witness to some of the most significant events in the history of western civilisation. Scarcely had we recovered from the Scandal of Stamford Bridge, which was so scandalous the ref had to be moved to a new hotel (possibly a Travelodge, not for his own safety but because it is the Uefa-sanctioned punishment for underperforming. Want shampoo? You ain't got it), than it was time for Drama in the Docklands, commentator Ian Darke's label for the League One play-off between Millwall and Leeds at the New Den. Darke, veteran of countless big fight nights, speaks this language fluently, but I am not so sure about James Richardson on Setanta, who has dubbed today Must-win Monday, a reference to the channel's live coverage tonight of Newcastle-Middlesbrough. As the last six matches for both teams have been described as "must-wins", this did seem to be underselling the cataclysmic once-in-a-lifetime mustwinningness of the evening. It is, of course, a "massive match", as I am sure James is aware, but then so are most of the games involving teams at the bottom of the table at this time of the year, so I was grateful to Setanta pundit Kevin Gallacher for rather neatly distinguishing tonight's clash from all those other "massive" matches by declaring it a "massive massive" match. Under Fifa rules, two massives is the maximum number permitted to be applied to any game, although I believe Sky reserve the right to deploy the three massive option for the Championship play-off final. I was wondering if there was a reference in popular culture James could have employed to encapsulate the massive mustwinningness of tonight's game, but beyond the old blues song Stormy Monday, I was struggling. Short of borrowing Monday Night Raw from the world of pro wrestling, we may be stuck with Must-win Monday. To help us understand the dimensions of tonight's encounter in the north-east, Setanta's Friday Football Show had a report from regional station Real Radio, where Malcolm Macdonald hosts a phone-in show called The Legends, a local-radio term for anybody who played more than half-a-dozen games for the local club. It looked an entertaining show, and it was instructive to see how outspoken the Legends were compared with the mealy mouths on TV. Bernie Slaven, ex-Middlesbrough, summed up the state of play in the north-east perfectly ("They say this is a hot-bed of football. It's more like the sickbed of football") while a caller to Micky Horswill, representing Sunderland, cheerfully described Craig Gordon as "a bag of spanners". I am not sure what he meant, but it is the kind of muscular invective you rarely hear on Match Of The Day, for instance. Supermac, himself, was uncompromising on the subject of Joey Barton: "It doesn't do the dressing room any good when you bring a convict into it," he said, "I wouldn't want one in the studios here where I work." If hyperbole is not your thing, however, how about bathos, my favourite figure of speech? Looks like bath, sounds like one of The Three Musketeers, what is not to like? My guaranteed destination for bathos is Transworld Sport on Sky, as in: "Berlin, one of the world's most captivating cities. While Berlin's architecture and open-air spaces reflect a city at peace with itself, the German capital's history is more turbulent. Captured by Soviet forces at the end of the second world war, the city was split into West and East Berlin by the allies. In 1961, amid the tensions between the two sides, the Soviet-controlled East built the Berlin Wall, a 140-kilometre structure that would divide the city for the next 28 years. "Twenty years after the wall came down, battle lines are once again being drawn ... ", wait for it, " ... as the final four of European basketball's top club competition come to town." I am a bit of a collector of Transworld Sport intros, which is a game you can join in with at home, even creating your own. An intro to tonight's match, for instance, might go something like: "As international capitalism goes into meltdown bringing with it the threat of widespread civil unrest, and the swine flu pandemic threatens the health of millions, Steven Taylor faces a late fitness test for Newcastle." Not, you understand, that I am in any way underestimating the massiveness of the evening.

Another "must win"? Hopefully we will win this one then unlike all our previous "must wins" this season

Diamond? You're having a laugh surely?

In/out: Probably In, Pre-match: Broadhill Match: RDU, of course Post-match: back home tae bunchry Prediction: 1-0
