Superstar Tradesman

I know. Because they wear their colours.

Would you have been equally upset if the place was full of Aberdeen fans in Dons tops singing Stand Free? Most of our 'support' seems to take that line.

Whatever the reason. I'm sure they could buy 10 times as many O.F. related paraphernalia or t-shirts down the Barras yet en masse they opt to bolster their club's spending money by wearing the colours of their team. Which seems to be against the law in Aberdeen.

I would have thought more along the lines of the current Peterhead manager. Although Simmie would really add some spice to Hun games.

I'm not "happy clapping". I'm all for letting it out on here. I just think folk should finally realise if the new man wants him on the park then folk should realise he's going nowhere and turn their vitriol to the opposition rather than our own. Of course if they dinna even like a pair of red socks then they're gonna struggle keeping their gobs shut when one of our strikers can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. But we can but hope.

So we might end up with Celtic's 6th choice manager if someone marginally less shit than him takes up the offer. C'mon you reds. No, seriously, c'mon. That for me is enough reason for him to be scored from the list in my eyes.

I'm still surprised that McGhee is even a candidate for the Tim job. Any roads, surely if he wants to go there and they wanted him, then they'd have him by now?

If they put half their effort into berating the opposition into making mistakes, other teams would fucking hate playing at Pittodrie. But no, let's save that for our own lads.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST ON A BIKE!! IT'S RED! IT'S GOT THE BADGE ON IT! FUCKING GET IT BOUGHT AND PUT SOME CASH IN THE AFC COFFERS! Every year we have the same fucking shite from moaning faced cunts. "I don't like the shorts", "I don't like the socks" - How many of you buy these anyway? "The quality is poor" - Personally I doubt any t-shirts I buy will last longer than a year especially if I know it has a 'fashion' shelf life and more importantly I doubt I'd want to wear something a year on having spent the best part of it propping up bars next to drunk football fans, sitting on buses, spilling pies and bovril over it or sweating my nuts off in the gym or on a football park. It's a fucking disgrace that you don't see a sea of red on a matchday because people only want to wear it on holiday because they think it's for kids or would rather be swanning around in some "top gear" that even the dross of society buys. For as much as I dispise the Old Firm fans, they sure as fuck put us to shame displaying their colours with pride. I remember being in Newcastle once on a matchday. Even after kickoff there were masses of people still walking around with the shirt on. I didn't see that as minky, I didn't see it as anything but showing pride for your city and support for your team. "Looks like last year's shorts" Give me fucking strength.

Dundee United tried to sign him and offered him more money. Wrong. Or at least that wasn't the point of the thread. I was merely trying to drum up a bit of support for our longest serving player who has proved quite valuable at times. Crazy notion, I know. My point (again) is: Love him or hate him, if the new man comes in and sees something in him, can we please, for the love of fuck, respect that opinion and respect the guy enough not to hurl abuse at him week in, week out?

Paterson and Skovdahl (who I'm pretty sure made the Michael Owen comment) took plenty other strikers to the club and they've all pretty much ended up laying carpets or saving cats that are stuck up trees. Again, I'm not saying Mackie shouldn't have been doing the same line of work by now but there has to be something there that managers like about him that we just don't see. All I'm asking for is that the boo boys get off his back as he's obviously proving himself to the people who know a bit more about the game than the 90 minutes of drunken haze we endure once a week.

I'm just sick of supporting the team with the most negative fans in the world. I'm willing to stick my neck out and say that the next man will come in and rate Mackie. That'll make it umpteen four Premier League managers who wanted him at the club, another who wanted to loan him and another who wanted to buy him. Yet we'll still get fucking muppets booing him and giving him a hard time. My personal feelings are very much along these lines: And I'm certainly not saying: But for the love of fuck, can we just give the lad a break if he's earned his way into the side having been picked for our team under so many managers?

I find it hard to believe that anyone doubts that Willie isn't doing a good job at the club and isn't worth the money he's paid. Of course we all have the best intentions at heart for the club, no matter how ill-informed they maybe. But whenever I read what Miller has to say about AFC and they way he wants the club to progress I can't help but feel he's fighting our corner and not purely doing it for the money. He was afterall saying these things a long time before he was back working at Pittodrie.

Love him or hate him, Darren Mackie has now outlived upteen Dons managers during his 10 year stint at the club along with a multitude of players. If the new man comes in and decides that Dazza is an asset to the club then I suggest we bury any hatchets we have with him and at the very least, sit on our hands and bite our tongues if supporting a player who plays for your team is too much for you to manage. What say you?

Actually, I was just playing devil's advocate but I'm surprised at how many people were against the notion. I'm sure there were a few people mentioning his name this time last season.

They have however been selling their stock for millions and have a fat pocket because of it. Would the Red Army take 4th place finishes and semi finals of cups if we were playing silky football whilst decreasing the debt each season? I'd suggest Hughes with his track record of utilising youth and us having now got some coming through that he might not be that bad a candidate.

I'd be happy if you just answered the three questions I asked instead of deleting them from your thoughts.

Would the Red Army take 4th place finishes and semi finals of cups if we were playing silky football?

Decent sized erection I'd imagine.

Worked for Newcastle.

The pitchfork you've whittled down to a toothpick with your constant sharpening so we'll just discard that if you don't mind. Given that the club still haven't found a replacement 2 weeks after they parted company with the management team who successfully made Europe and as Mickey Mouse is a fictional charactor; what makes you think: 1. Our form would have been any better than finishing in 4th? 2. We'd have replaced the management team any sooner? 3. Who would have looked after the squad in the meantime?

Who gives a fuck? We did enough to get there.

The Aberdeen Arena.

Only an idiot couldn't see that sacking the manager whilst the team had a chance to qualify for Europe - thus making us a more attractive prospect in the summer for attracting a new manager - would think that he should have been binned 8 games ago. You're nae that idiot are you Stoney?

I always like what Hughes has got to say, always makes me laugh too. There's no arguing that Falkirk play some attractive football and you could argue with more resources that Hughes could actually do something at Aberdeen. Only one way to find out and it might be worth the gamble as I don't see what the likes of Levein (who I think is a decent manager) would bring that he hasn't already done at Hearts or United?
