Miles off the ball. Linesman might have had a chance to see it but although the ref was, as usual a cunt, it wasnae his fault he missed it.

He didnae exactly help himself by telling the press he was an aggressive player. He deserved to be booked today but he will undoubtedly pick up more bookings than he deserves, particularly given the standard of refereeing in this country. The guy today was atrocious but tbh was about the same standard as every other cunt we've had over the last few years....where do these guys learn to referee?

who said JC didn't play players out of position? Are they on crack?

Difficult game for me as I went with my nephews so had to control the swearing......I never realised how often I swore at the football until I tried not to. Anyway Much better performance than last week but still lacking badly out wide however. First the negatives. Zander at RB was a disaster and it was a blessing in disguise when he went off. Foster wasn't great but he was a hell of alot better than diamond Duff, in a 20min spell in the 2nd in particular was atrocious. How many times did mulgrew have good possession only to find Duff standing on the half way line making no attempt to get into the space behind their FB? In the same 20min spell we seemed to be terrified of crossing the half way line (duff again the main culprit) and again we seemed terrified to shoot. On a similar note, as said above, we are chronically lacking out wide and JC desperately needs to pull a rabbit (or preferably a winger with pace and skill) out the hat before 31st August Finally Diamond injured...how long will he be out as although he was terrible today we will need him at the back Now the good points Superb result, and a badly needed boost to our confidence. You could see the lift the team got when we went 1-0 up. Mulgrew, good performance all round and superb finish. The defence (after diamond went off) was reasonably solid and considine and seve did a decent job. Kerr looked better in the middle of the park and should be a good signing. Tommy Wright. Finally someone that will get stuck in, and was unlucky not to score. Likely to get sent off vs Rangers but may also bag a goal. Superb result against a Well side that should be top6 again this year. Final, and I'm afraid, negative point. Booing our side 60mins into our 2nd game of the season really is pretty pathetic. Take a look at yourselves guys, especially as it was otherwise a pretty good atmosphere, and an improvement on recent trips to fir park. Final, final, well done to the Motherwell fans for their anti OF 5% banner.

no rain in sight just now

surely Jimmy's son will be unearthing a wee gem from the dutch amateur leagues as we speak

And here they all are

if he can stand up straight long enough I'd rather have him than Considine, or any other of our imposters at the back, in a second

oh aye AND £22 Fucking diddy clubs fleecing us big clubs to keep them alive......... It's £21 to get into the away section at Pittodrie. I'd say in comparison £22 for the away end at Fir Park isn't too bad.

upper section!!! GTF I fucking hate fir park. If we had got a result last week we might have needed both sections but not now. They have put us in the top deck before but usually midweek when it is chucking it down...why this week? Ach well atleast we'll have the loon running about the roof of the "No Smoking" stand after errant Foster clearances to keep us entertained.

It's the fans fault? Are you Stewart Milne?

Reserve FT Score Full Time Score From Glebe Park Aberdeen 1 (Mackie 27) Inverness 2 (McAllister 19, Wood 55) An experienced Aberdeen side went down to a youthful Inverness side at Glebe Park this afternoon. Tommy Wright pulled on a Dons shirt for the first time and lasted 80minutes, as he tried to impress the on looking manager. Ex-Aberdeen striker Rory McAllister , who impressed throughout, gave Inverness the lead after 19 minutes with a stunning goal, although the Aberdeen defence should have done better . Aberdeen drew level with a Darren Mackie strike after 27 minutes and there was no further scoring in the first half. Inverness retook the lead through Garry Wood after 55 minutes. The Dons pushed for an equaliser with Derek Young coming the closest. His free kick in the dying seconds produced an excellent save from Ryan Esson. There was an injury scare for Zander Diamond but thankfully the defender recovered after treatment and lasted the full 90 minutes and looks likely to come into contention for a staring place at Fir Park on Saturday <is there a "phew" smiley?>. Match Pictures, Full Match Report and RedTV to follow. Aberdeen: Bossu, Crawford, S Smith, Stewart, Diamond, Mair, Pawlett (Carroll 30), Young, Wright (Clark 80), Mackie, Duff. Subs: Bateman, Ross, Gallacher

apologies to Aberdeen-Mad and StandFreeEd for the copy and paste http://www.aberdeen-mad.co.uk/news/loadfeat.asp?cid=EDZ1&id=400856 The Red Avenger concludes (maybe?) his pre-season preview with a look at tomorrow's opening game. Dinna ken about you but I've got that schoolkid-like buzz ye only get fer opening day...Ken the table looks superb...Dons at the top, Huns in a relegation battle...abidy is optimistic, cynicism is at a season low...nae doubting it's by far the best day of the year. I've been plannin my opening day for oh at least a couple o days now... A blazin hot day, doon the Bobbin for 1ish, several large scoops, doon the grun for the traditional exchange of opening day insults wi the lads I only see dans the Y ken 'Aw right ye baldy c*nt...Aye nae bad, foos yer doos ye fat Bastard' [No mention of gingers? - Ed] that sorta thing...a rampant Dons put the Heelanders tae the sword...up tae The Pitt for a dozen or so celebratory wee nips...stagger up King Street...maybees grab a Ruby or a Chinkie...or if I'm feeling really exotic some 'Micro Chips' fae the Grill...then start the heavy drinkin and maybees a few snotters o the auld Bolivian Beechams afore endin the night at the Northern Soul/Ska night in Drummonds. You may notice that the fitba plays a surprisingly small role in my plans and aye it might be the first day of the fitba season but truth be telt, while fitba does play a role this is the first day of a nine-month long festival o binge drinkin, piss taking, general all round naughtiness and anti-social shininigans...with side orders o recreational drugs, shaggin and fichtin added to suit personal taste...it's f*ckin ace innit! In fact the only thing that's been troublin me over ma plans is whether or no tae wear shorts on the Y... I mean that's getting dangerously close tae 'Metrosexuality' ken, and then yer only a Sausage Jockey's thong awa fae thinkin Velcro strapped Pink Trainers with Tweed panels are somehow hetrosexual footwear...I mean all that and that's afore ye even get ontae the whole 'Socks/Nae Socks wi Trainers and Shorts' kettle o' fish...nah come to think about it, it's all too much o a mind f*ck...so a pair o jeans it is then. Aye I've got the morn all planned oot...but of course as we all ken God has this habit o rippin assunder the best laid plans of Mice, Men and Aberdeen fans...if he didnae we'd have won a Cup Double last year and would be practising the Danish for 'So div ye funcies a ride then quine?' for next week's UEFA trip. Course at this bitty I'm meant tae be discussing our opponents n'at but I've decided their so f*cking boring I'm nae even gonna feckin bother...I mean seriously I want tae find one of thay special remotes ken fast forward them oh say 25 years and gie them a few drunken bams a few sweary songs and chants...at the moment their too bland and dull. Imagine Tim Henman interviewing Alan Shearer or an audiobook of 'Steven Pressley reads the Karma Sutra'...ken that's how f*ckin boring the Heelanders are...ken far too much o' the f*ckin Swiss Family Robinson about them. Oh hud on I've come over Cath and Jean... 'Here comes the Corner...WOOHOO A corner tae the Aiberdeen... Dah-dah-de-de-de don't know the words... Dah-De-de-de-de err...something...something 'The finest you've ever seen!!!' Sorry about that and err...just tae clear things up thon 'come over Cath and Jean' ken wisnae me wanting tae knock een off o'er em like...I mean they must be fit 70 or summat? I may well be a Baldy C*nt ken but ahm nae feckin GILF Hunter... Now Sarah Cracknell that's a completely different...fit ever happened tae her onyway? A bird that tidy, I mean you'd have thought she wid have shown up on some Celeb reality TV show by now...and while were at it fit 90's fit about about Miki fae Lush eh...now that wis a ride...or wis it Miki Lush fae Ride? Either way ye wouldnae say no...well ye wouldnae have in 1992 like. Anyway having succesfully distracted ye fae my stunning lack of knowledge about CannaebeatusThistle...I mean did ye really want me tae pad for say 2000 words about Don Cowie, and them never beating us? No didnae think so. Anyways s'about time we did thon He-He-Ar prediction thingy. Head - 1-0 the Reds...the usual tedium of a Caley game...decent ruby...good craic...get a trap in Drummonds but walk home alone...I knock one off to Millie Clode/Hollyoaks on Sunday morning. Heart - 5-0 the Reds...superb night is had...I pull the fittest bird in the joint...a night of mind blowing shagging follows...I get a full breakfast in bed and a gam on Sunday morning...then she tells us her auld man owns a brewery/distillery...result! A*se -0-2...They score early we batter them before they score with a late late breakaway...I break my foot booting inanimate objects on the Merkland Road then get rat arsed and about 10 get asked 'Don't you think you've had enough sir'...and faced wi the option of a night in Jumpin Jacks I stagger doon Holburn St into Hass's and tell the boy behind the counter...'Hemmin you look like 'at Graham Spiers min' at least a dozen times in 10 minutes before provoking an all out brawl when I start arguing wi another punter that 'Mealie Pudding is the same thing as White Puddin ya c*nt'….I blackout and wake up wi' half a Mock Chop Supper on ma face. Aye it's good to be back. Oops almost forgot the contractual obligation to mention the Stand Free Message Board and Beat the Manager and whatever other nefarious money making scams Fred has going...I mean come on the loon's got a bird, a Dons habit and a Bentley to maintain... And if that hasnae convinced ye then do remember he is Ginger..so please click generously! [...and there it is. - Ed] Oh and afore some smart arse starts asking where Parts 3 and 4 of 'The Big Kick Off' are...I've been incredibly busy at work this week alright min… Of course if ye funcy havering keech about the Dons Squad and the rest of the SPL then feel free tae send them to Fred at standfree03@gmail.com...it'll save me a job next week like ye lazy shower o c*nts…and as you can see fae this piece he'll put ony auld sh*te up. Onyways slater, Stand Free, Forza Dandies and aw the usual bollocks! The Red Avenger

where the fuck is the broom cupboard photo. I have a good mind to email Pittodrie and complain about this. All we have is this shitty photo: http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/37/1f/0,,10284~3743543,00.jpg[/img]

Tokley? Aberdeen v Inverness CT Clydesdale Bank Premier League logo New Aberdeen signing Tommy Wright is unlikely to face Inverness at Pittodrie as the striker arriving from Darlington is short of fitness. Defender Zander Diamond has declared himself fit to play after overcoming a foot injury, but youngsters Peter Pawlett and Michael Paton are doubtful. Caley Thistle are without defender David Proctor, who is serving a two-match suspension. Summer signings Andy Barrowman and Lionel Djebi-Zadi could make debuts. Aberdeen (from): Langfield, Foster, Mulgrew, Mair, McDonald, Considine, Severin, J Smith, Miller, Mackie, Maguire, Stewart, De Visscher, Young, Bossu, Kerr, Diamond, S Smith. Inverness (from):Fraser, Tokely, Hastings, McBain, Cowie, Hart, Duncan, Black, Imrie, McAllister, Barrowman, Vigurs, Kerr, Wilson, Wood, Sutherland, Djebi-Zadi, Esson Weather .

Surprised nobody has brought up the old debate about whether getting rid of Dodds and cash for Winters was a good deal. The figures involved are unbelievable now adays but I remember thinking at the time "thank god we've replaced that headless chicken with one of the best young players in scotland".......

wtf? ROFL

fair enough preview did I just say that?
