glasgow sheep

yes

I dare say I would too if I could remember any of it. Remember going to the underground and I remember the match. Everything in between is a blur

ouch it would just result in fighting between fans. There seems to be a significant divide between those he can tolerate JC and those who want him strung up on pittodrie street yesterday Just look where we've come from blah blah blah

are there in lies the problem with aberdeen, aberdonians (of which I am one) afc and scottish football

nice but a couple of questions come to mind 1) who wants rid of zander 2) we're fucked 3) who wants to keep McNamara 4) we're fucked 5) we had a small squad, and are losing most if it 6) we're fucked 7) you have too much time on your hands oh and we're fucked

that would be fun

take the hit now?

see the crowds next season. Nae cunt gives a fuck, and haven't for some time. We are just another Motherwell, Killie, Falkirk, United etc etc etc And BTR's Auntie.....how's about it?

Nail on head. If we played football a bit more often we would get more from him. I agree though if we aren't going to play football surely better to be honest about it and then punt him, rather than this charade that JC maintains about wanting to play football

Has anyone not fallen out with JC? Well apart from Seve and McNamara obviously

that story's headline could just as easily be "Maybury could stay beyond the summer" Fucking EE full of shit, as per usual.

I wouldn't condone it, or want afc to do it, but motherwell effectively cheated the system by going into administration, wiping out their debts, clearing out all the higher earners without having to pay them off and somehow kept their stadium. Now Boyle is back, well are debt free and they are cheating their way round more rules with their abortion of a pitch. Still they'll be 3rd or 4th this year

Bollocks. You're believing the press a bit much there. Most folk have said that the only players to come out with any credit on Sat are Miller and Nicholson. Aberdeen fans aren't fickle (well certainly no more than any other set of fans). Good performances are acknowledged, poor ones criticised. Repeated poor performances will always attract abuse, the odd good one may deflect that for a while but it's hardly as if seve, soutar, maguire, mackie etc etc have sudenly become targets for the boo boys. Nonsense! It was precisely BECAUSE it was a semi that it hurts so much. Atleast if we had got to a final we would have had a chance, no matter how slim, of winning the bloody thing. Again it was the manner that irks. A flukey 1-0 defeat would have been annoying but, yes, these things happen. Shipping 4(four) goals to an average 1st division side shouldn't happen, ever. could it be that Queens were in fact shit, hence it was fairly simple to grab a goal. Shame we couldn't be arsed to actually try and win the game once we got on level terms. Of course there wasn't. And in all likelihood we would have been pumped out before the group stages, just as we thought we would do this season. But again we now have absolutely no chance of doing anything in europe as we haven't qualified. I was furious on Saturday. However I quickly realised that it was just yet another case of afc fucking us over. Build us up to let us down again. tbh the thing that really hurt was not the manner of the defeat, not the shambolic defending, not the mind boggling persistence with McNamara, nor the ineptitude of Captain Seve. No the thing that hurt was the realisation that Saturday was a stepping stone to our best chance of winning a trophy in 8, maybe 13 years. Fuck knows when that will come around again. It becomes increasingly apparent as long as we get top 6 and a bit of money from a cup run now and again the club don't give a fuck about actually winning something. Shame some fans seem to feel the same

who the hell is this touzani you speak of

AFC Player of the season Zander AFC Goal of the season Mackie v Dnipro Bounce of the season At the game: Mackie's goal v Tims, really thought it was going to be our year In the pub: Dnipro away Game of the season Aberdeen v Copenhagen AFC Cunt Award (who at the club is the biggest cunt?) Seve And in other catagories SPL Cunt of the season Craig Levein for being fucking good at his job SPL Shitest player of the season Bus Best grub award Eatin's Cheatin' Best away boozer Agustiner Beir Halle, Munich. All Scottish away days were shit this year

Meanwhile, Derek Soutar, Richie Byrne, Dave Bus, and Steve Lovell, whose contracts expire in the summer, will not be offered new deals.

putting it into context? Last cup final 2000 Last trophy 1995 Last Scottish Cup 1990 Can't be arsed checking but I would hazard a guess those stats rack up as our worst ever. Even in the 60s and 70s we did better than this.

surely we'll be off to play in Qatar or Siberia because some idiot has volunteered to pay for our flights and accommodation. Don't worry though as JC has checked it all out, it will be top quality.

FFS get off your high horses. I wouldn't boo players during a game but if a player gets subbed after such an embarrassingly poor performance, again, as McNamara put in, and if the manager is so thick as to not realise that 1) he should never have started and 2) once he started with him he should have realised before the 60th min that he needed hooked then I feel entitled to show them both how I feel on the matter. I don't give a fuck what McNamara feels on the matter as he shouldn't be near our team ever again. Equally having paid my money to be served up with that shite I feel perfectly entitled to boo the team off the park. Too many people at afc seem to think just getting to the semi final was an achievement. The sooner they realise that it is not the sooner we move on and improve. In anycase the positive support the team got was far more vociferous than the negative support until the final whistle (McNamara sub apart). If the players can't get motivated by the the kind of support they recieved at both semifinals then what the fuck are they looking for? As for applauding QotS. I did and have no qualms about doing it again. I fully understand that others won't agree but they should everything that afc lacked on saturday. They achieved something that their club will probably never achieve again and I wish them every luck in the final. I applauded Munich off the park in the Allianz arena too and I'm sure folk weren't moaning about that.

It is make or break time for JC. Clearly he will be the one making whole sale changes to the team this summer. Regardless of his budget if he makes some decent signings and avoids signing players that cause the entire Red Army to go "what the fuck" (se Duff, Mair, Young etc) then he'll be given a reasonable chance to turn things around next year. Having said that though if we start poorly and are out the league cup early on then he's gone. Time for you to show us your abilities as a football manager JC. It's now or never.

Kings of the South Click here to see a slideshow of action from the match Queen of the South 4 - 3 Aberdeen By Michael Grant at Hampden Comment | Read Comments (1) QUEEN OF the South have always managed to one of the great and evocative names of Scottish football without doing much to be worth talking about. Yesterday they rose up and produced a result which launched them into the cup final and may yet take them into Europe. In a day laced with unbridled celebration as well as simmering anger, Hampden staged one of its most entertaining cup ties. Queens will grace the final for the first time in their history because they handled the occasion when their fancied opponents could not. It took poor play to make it an outstanding spectacle - both sides defended horribly but Aberdeen took by far the greater share of the blame - but the drama was relentless. advertisement The victory was a triumph of Queens' character and their strikers' finishing. Three times they went ahead only for Aberdeen to cancel each of their leads within minutes. When the First Division side did so for a fourth time the match briefly seemed ridiculous and another equaliser seemed inevitable. Aberdeen had half an hour left to find one and could not do so. The recriminations in the north-east must be long and thorough as Aberdeen figure out how they could be shown up by a First Division team. Losing the match had always been a possibility but to concede four goals was an unpardonable collapse. They hauled 14,000 supporters with them to Glasgow and Jimmy Calderwood and most of his team failed them and will not be forgiven. When the final whistle went red and white scarves rained down on to the trackside. Those supporters had jeered John Stewart when he came on as a 42nd minute substitute for the unfortunate Stephen Dobbie, whose trickery had been a handful until he succumbed to a knee injury. Stewart once scored a winner for Aberdeen at Parkhead but did little else before being released, which explained the jeers. Not only did he answer those taunts with the unanswered fourth goal, he produced a second half display of pace and directness which Aberdeen could not handle. "If you get taunted it gives you an extra incentive, an extra edge," said Chisholm. "He won't be very popular in Aberdeen tonight." Sean O'Connor's brawn gave Aberdeen a headache as well. Andrew Considine and Zander Diamond have never had an uglier 90 minutes together and goalkeeper Derek Soutar and full-backs Jackie McNamara and Alan Maybury were accomplices in the defensive mess. Calderwood talked of how far managers are from the touchline at Hampden and hinted that his senior players - the likes of McNamara, Maybury and Scott Severin - should have taken more responsibility on the pitch. The lack of leadership was undeniable although supporters will wonder how a manager cannot overcome a First Division team with a group of players who have beaten FC Copenhagen, won at Celtic Park and led twice against Bayern Munich. The club had envisaged a place in the cup final and the probability of returning to the Uefa Cup next season, but all of that was beyond a team which cannot defend. Queens were exposed at the back too and unless they tighten up it may cost them the chance to win the final. It was their only flaw in a day their excellent 10,000-strong support can savour for years. When O'Connor bullied Soutar at a free-kick the ball fell for Steve Tosh - one of three former Aberdeen players who started the match before Stewart came on to make a quartet - to lash a shot into the net. Considine equalised with a powerful header over Jim Thomson to make it 1-1 at half time. There was no inkling of the adrenaline rush still to come. From the restart Stewart made an early impact by racing away from Diamond and crossing for Burns to score at the second attempt. Within three minutes it was level again as Barry Nicholson pounced after a Lee Miller header was saved. By now Queens were wise to Aberdeen's defending: Tosh launched a long ball at them, Considine floundered, O'Connor twisted Diamond and buried another goal. No-one bothered to mark Considine as he equalised again with a header to make it 3-3. Where was it going to end? "I just thought we kept blowing it, we kept getting our nose in front and kept giving a goal away," said Chisholm. "I thought we're not going to do it'. I did expect Aberdeen to come back a fourth time. I thought the game could have been 7-4, or 6-5." Instead there were only the seven goals and the last of them settled it. Aberdeen did not defend a ball from the right and when Thomson flicked it on Stewart had all the time and space in the world to bury it. McNamara was booed off by the Aberdeen supporters before storming straight up the tunnel. Without him they pressed to equalise yet again but were never convincing. As the two ends of the country converged on Hampden, it was a regal triumph for the south. Queen of the South substitutes: Stewart for Dobbie 42, Paton for McCann 90 Not used: Grindlay, O'Neil, Gilmour Booked: McCann 70 Aberdeen substitutes: Mackie for McNamara 62, Young for Maybury 80 Not used: Langfield, Duff, Touzani Booked: none Referee: K Clark Att: 24,008

aye that's me for this season I dare say that come July I'll be renewing my ST and looking forward to another year on the roller coster ride that is afc, but then I might get a life in the intervening period, here's hoping

The worst was Queen's Park at Firhill. There has never been and will never be a worse result than this. I'm still in shock that JC got rewarded for this with a new contract. Of course he maybe proved the board right on that occasion. I'm less certain about the decision to further extend his contract this year.

well that's it. Losing Russel clearly had a massive impact in our season, but in retrospect the loss of Hart and Clark is probably just as important, and along the so many players being unsettled it can't have been good for team morale. Of course it might not have been such an issue if we had brought in decent replacements but our scouting network seemingly consists of players JC has previously managed or seen kick a football in the SPL and his son in Holland. I dread to think what our starting XI will be next season

Utterly humiliating experience, again. You can rationalise the defeat all you want. Yes we have been poor all season. Yes we have maybe ridden our luck in past seasons. Yes we haven't had loads of cash to spend. However losing 8 goals in two semifinals at any time is a disgrace. Even more so when one of the teams is a whole division below us. Quite what JC was thinking starting with McNamara I have no idea. Where the fuck were JDV and Walker? Why Soutar? Why the persistence with long-balls? What the hell was going on with our defence, as although fucking atrocious McNamara can't be blamed for the complete shambles back there? And what the fuck has happened to Seve? A moment that summed it up for me was seeing tosh shouting out instructions to his team mates and encouraging them while our captain trudged up the park looking at the ground moaning about fuck knows what to himself. I've been sceptical about JC ever since the Queen's Park debacle and today yet again emphasised his failings which can be summed up with failing to learn from mistakes and picking/dropping players because of personalties rather than ability. It is also extremely worrying that come the summer we will have managed to lose the spine of a decent side: Anderson, Hart, Clark, Nicholson, Miller and replaced it with Pele-era dross: Bus, Mair, Duff, and god knows who else in the summer. How have we managed to lose all these players? Is it simply Milne and Miller who have to take the rap? Or has JC lost the dressing room to an extent? I've been through some shit times following the dons but the manner of our defeats in the two semifinals is almost a new low. Finally I'd like to repeat the comments about the support today. Even at 4-3 and obviously out of it the support still sang their hearts out. Well done to Queens who thoroughly deserve their final appearance. Good luck and enjoy your day in sun. Quite when we'll get ours I'm not sure
