you have to appreciate that some people - a lot of Aberdeen fans it would seem - just like to fucking moan about anything they can.

first time we've ever lost at Inverness. No excuses McGhee, it's your team and it was hardly an inexperienced or reserve line up you put out. Get it fucking sorted, and give Jim Leighton a call while you're at it, eh?

Another change of keeper... I hope to fuck Howard now gets a decent run at this.

Yeah we should aim for sell outs every match. But the club can't answer for the arseholes who won't go just because it's now a few miles out the city. You either want to go the games or your don't. If you don't, just be honest about it. If people really want to get there, they'll get there. Let's stop pretending there's some big ask on these people when so many people go through so much more EVERY SATURDAY to see the team.

the girl in particular is especially hairy looking. Crikey.

Contact SMsW on Mad and you can watch it on your TV rather than YouTube!

they've already said that transport will be available from the City Centre. And if the next argument is "How do folk get into the city centre?" then I'd suggest those folk aren't really bothered about supporting the Dons anyway, know what I'm saying?

But why will no cunt go?

Really? why is that?

About a week before the Scottish Cup Final in 1990? Went one down and then Graham Watson (I think) equalised and then Jess and Booth did the damage. that was the first game I'd seen Booth playing (may well have been his debut) and he was excellent. You know something Tom, I remember being a bit frustrated with Jess in his first spell and that was when he was banging in doubles, hat tricks, fours and generally ripping everyone a new arsehole (inlcuding and especially the Old Firm), and it was just because he was young and he couldn't do it every week (and i was 11 years old at the time and I just expected it every week). If you had no interest in him before 93, then you probably caught him after his leg break and arguably for the year after that he was subdued because he'd lost a yard in pace and he had to adjust. I don't quite get the venom in your post about him fulfilling potential etc, as if you think Jess owes us something. Jess owes us fuck all. He was an excellent player for us and I'd give my right nut to have him in our team these days. We've had some amount of shite, imposters and just general wankers wear our shirt. Eoin Jess isn't one of them.

I wouldnt actually say he has stagnated, I think he's regressed. If what Willie Miller said about him a couple of years ago is true (not willing to look at old games of Alex McLeish playing) then perhaps it's no surprise his game hasn't come on. If you're not willing to learn, in no matter what walk of life, you'll never improve.

In fairness Tom, maybe Jess would have achieved more if he didn't spend the second spell with us carrying the team on his back. With the obvious exception of Jim Leighton, Jess was the only one worth paying to see and considering the utter dross around him he performed to a very high standard and he ran himself into the ground for us.

He said (according to the written version of the interview i saw last week) Bari, Torino and Parma were rumoured to be after him, but only Coventry and Samp made offers. Unless STV got it wrong... that would never happen, would it?

Aye, right ye are

He got a terrible time at Pittodrie, but he did score a lot of goals it has to be said.

The people of Aberdonia may attempt to take the high ground on this Al, but why is it sold in Aberdeen if they're all so above it? And I know at least 3 Aberdonians who drink it, so it's not as if it's just for the incomers.

Only two teams made an offer to him. Coventry and Sampdoria. Had he gone to Samp they'd have got him for nothing due to the rules then. Going to Coventry meant we got money for him.

whatever happened to getting a few tins for the train when you're going to the football? EFF EFF ESS.

very good player though

Definitely in terms of heading prowess. both had an amazing leap and seemed to almost hang in the air longer than you'd ever think possible

Michel Salgado at his peak was probably a Rougvie style player, nothing fancy and basically just a tough nut, probably had a bit more pace and offered a bit more in an attacking sense as a result. Black's a tough one, I'd have always have said a mix between van Basten (as you'd mentioned earlier) and Mark Hughes. Could lead the line well and combined strength and power with such a lovely touch and lethal finishing. Possibly better in the air than Hughes and van Basten though. Cooper is a hard one as well because he wouldn't have lasted two seconds in the game these days. He was also actually a centre half by trade, and not a midfielder.

Really can't agree there CtS I'm afraid. Miller's reading of the game was exceptional, something I find a bit lacking in Puyol who is a more blood and guts defender who also lacks Miller's class on the ball. Really not sure who I'd compare Miller with these days, the game is so different now and you don't see many guys in Miller's style. At a push, maybe Ayala at his peak because he sat a bit deeper and his reading of the game was excellent, as well as being a hard bastard. Weir's forte was beating players on the wing, something Beckham rarely did because he didn't have the quickness or trickery of Weir. I'd say Giggs was a better fit for Weir.

Don't agree with Ferdinand there at all. Pique or Vidic, can play a bit as in can pass the ball out of defence but primarily there for their physical presence, not blessed with a huge amount of pace (which, for a centre back, Ferdinand certainly is/was) but quick enough to get themselves out of a hole. Ferdinand is nowhere near as physical a player as McLeish was.

Just an Ayrton out of Waterstones. It is supposedly an excellent book. However, I was saying to a hun acquaintance recently that I found Butcher to be a lot less vile these days than I did when he was at the vermin. But this book shows a totally different side to him. He said he chucked out all his U2 tapes because they were nothing more than a rebel band, chucked out all his Simple Minds tapes because he discovered Jim Kerr was a tim... now, I would suggest he should have done that anyway, but not for that reason! Also claimed Dariusz Dziekanowski tried to break his leg then goes on to say he was going to do the same to Dziekanowski but calls him pea hearted and a bottler. Surely that's bringing the game into disrepute? also says "Typical Aberdonians" about us getting the £500 fine and never fixing the ref's door... I hope Fatshaft isn't reading this!!!

Does anyone remember the above happening to said hun full back, circa 88/89? Currently reading One Night in Turin which is a behind the scenes account of England's World Cup in 1990, and one of the early chapters is about Terry Butcher and there is some rather frank quotes from him. There is a dig in it about the Simmie incident, how Butcher was fined for kicking the ref's door and how we never got it fixed, and then it says Stevens broke his leg at the same venue in a match not long after with less than 15 minutes of the game gone. I really can't remember this incident at all. Can anyone else? Who broke his leg? I remember Butcher getting his leg broken against us the previous season thanks to McLeish though
