Oh come on, look at his face! Just look at his face! One man's expression summed up a whole nation's feelings.

That was fucking hilarious though.

Just for a bit of interest in tonight's internation non event: £20 England -4 v Andorra 5/6 with Blue Square £2 Gerrard hat trick @ 18's.

Only sensible post in this thread.

haha! that's right! Forgot about that. No comment re fat Irish birds.

Celtic have told McGhee they will not be employing him. McGhee has said he's "Coming home to Aberdeen". It'll happen, be cool.

over the indignity of being linked with Ian McCall for the manager's position. Forget all the other zoomers we were linked with, the club obviously believe there is taking the piss and then there's taking the piss. Don't know which papers it is, it was just on the SSN rolling news section saying we're taking legal action over reports linking us to the Binman.

I get Setanta for free through my Virgin Media package. I can't see it being free if ESPN (or whoever) take over their contracts

But I never said that you had said that, it was the inferrence from Kow's post.

Are you asking me or telling me?

And to suggest that the attitudes of a few is indicative of the whole support is also nonsense. I can believe it. But it was one of our own players saying it, not the opinion of a hack.

but that only came out when people started to turn against him, it wasn't the reason they turned against him. Pittodrie used to sing his name, we all knew where his true allegiance lay but folk still sang his name. That stopped because more people became disillusioned with him for a variety of reasons.

Scotland caps are the mark for fuck all. John McMaster, Frank McDougall and Brian Grant got zero caps between them, was Irvine better than any of them? Dave Bowman, Gary MacKay, Mike Galloway and Tosh McKinlay all won caps, everyone of them would have been delighted to be deemed average.

He was also a big reason why we were down there in the first place!

The Diet Huns are losing one of their best players, but still, at least it's to one of the giants of the European game : And there are rumours that Swansea will move for Laszlo with Martinez going to Wigan.

Nice one Bumper, get posting. Quality sig too!

Irvine.

I attempted to read it. It was fucking awful. It was as if it had been written by a 5 year old, but without the 5 year old's flair.

I wouldn't trust him to hit the stand!

Depends on your definition of decent, Sharpie. I knew it wouldn't be a popular point of view, but thought I'd put it out there anyway. I'm really just killing time until Bobo comes on so I can get stuck into Billy Dodds again...

he had a fair time out of the game FJ.

I meant battled back to play professional football, as if you didn't know.

Really, Kow? That surprises me. I wouldn't have said he was. there was a big chunk of his time at Aberdeen where we'd play McKimmie as a centre half rather than have Irvine there. And then Smith would play ahead of him a lot and even remember van de Ven being preferred there too occassionally. I always feel that there is a lot of warm nostalgia directed towards Irvine because he loved the club and gave his all and battled back from MS, but he was largely a poor player in my opinion. I like the guy, but as a player at the time I wouldn't have lost any sleep had he been sold early in his Dons career. I also have an inkling that he may be "too nice" a guy to be a coach.

Spot on GS. Well said.
