Kowalski Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Zander injury worry for Aberdeen FC ‘I don’t know when he’ll be back,’ says Mark By Charlie Allan Published: 05/10/2009 ABERDEEN FC today admitted they have no idea when star defender Zander Diamond will be fit again. Diamond has now been sidelined for almost two months with a foot injury. Aberdeen FC had hoped a series of injections last week would put the 24-year-old on course to return in their SPL clash with Hearts at Pittodrie, a week on Saturday. But manager Mark McGhee today confirmed Diamond has no chance of making that game and could be out for some time yet.

minijc Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Who cares, better off with him out the team. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 So basically Charlie Allan was hovvering around the front door at Pittodire, spotted McGhee and said "Any idea when Diamond will be back, Mark?" McGhee said "I don't know when he'll be back. Do I look like the club doctor?" And now Fat Ex-postie's omitted the "FYI" directed at him and made a backpage headline out of it. Another non-story from this excuse of a reporter. Quote
Reekie_Red Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Who cares, better off with him out the team. Agreed. Better off without Charlie Allan in the EE's team of reporters Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 date=1254738769] Who cares, better off with him out the team. Can you just stop this pish please? Quote
bilbobaggins Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 date=1254738769] Who cares, better off with him out the team. Can you just stop this pish please? Totally agree, just head back to the HAT please Mini. Quote
RDU_64 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 It's better of not giving him the satisfaction of replying to him. Anyway, I think Diamond has not been that big a miss as what I thought he would be. Would still rather have in my team than not, but the lack of goals is the biggest worry. Quote
minijc Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Totally agree, just head back to the HAT please Mini. 5 clean sheets without him, once Ifil is fit he'll be back in with Big Andy, neither deserve to be dropped, Zander would only be on the bench anyways so it is good thgat he is getting the chance to rest this inury.

And 4 humiliating defeats, what's your point? Quote
minijc Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 I can only think of 3 humiliating defeats, one with Ifil in the team. Quote
dave_min Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 I can only think of 3 humiliating defeats, one with Ifil in the team. You should maybe start going to more games then Quote
minijc Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 You should maybe start going to more games then I was at all 3, Sigma, home and away, Dundee away, actually that one isn't even humiliating, most people had an idea that we would probably lose that game. Quote

Well, if you think it's acceptable to be beated by a lower league team, then you're gonna end up with the team you deserve. We were pumped by Celtic too, 3-0 at half-time. Unacceptable. Quote

We were pumped by Celtic too, 3-0 at half-time. Unacceptable. Never said it was acceptable though, did I? See trying to put words in to fit your agenda. We lost the celtic game 3-1 though, second half performance was much better than the first half, that wasn't humiliating though, they are a team going for the league title with a much bigger budget.

Very poor there. If the defeat isn't humiliating, then surely it's acceptable then? I never said we lost 3-0, I said it was 3-0 at half-time, feel free to read my post again. I seem to remember us winning a game against Celtic at home last season by 2 clear goals, both of which came from a certain Zander Diamond too. But yes, we're a much better team without him Quote
manc_don Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Never said it was acceptable though, did I? See trying to put words in to fit your agenda. We lost the celtic game 3-1 though, second half performance was much better than the first half, that wasn't humiliating though, they are a team going for the league title with a much bigger budget. We were pumped in the first, they totally eased off in the second and we still only managed to score a goal that came out of no-where. I felt humiliated. I really thought we'd miss Diamond more than we have, but its a positive sign that we have a pairing that seem to play well together and help us forget about him. I still wish him a speedy recovery.

Kowalski Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 Shame on you for feeding the troll guys! Whether Zander is better/worse than Ifil or Considine (who I don't rate at all) is not the point. We only have one fit central defender, so there's no question that we need Zander back asap. Quote
minijc Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 So because he scored two goals against Celtic we must have him back, obviously we need him but at this current moment in time there is no need to rush him back and Dave, I never said that you said we lost the game 3-0, I just don't see why you singled the first half out when we all know that games are judged by the score at the final whistle. Quote
RDU_64 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 We need any fit defender back asap, regardless of how other defenders have been doing. Even to have Diamond on the bench would be a bonus, in the event of any injuries/cards/tactical changes etc. Quote
Kowalski Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Posted October 8, 2009 Aberdeen FC’s Diamond out until Christmas New injury blow for defender By Charlie Allan Published: 08/10/2009 ABERDEEN FC’S Zander Diamond’s foot injury looks set to keep him sidelined until Christmas. Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee today confirmed it’s likely to be six weeks before the defender, who will have surgery tomorrow, is fit enough to resume training. McGhee is resigned to the fact Diamond, who suffered the injury during Aberdeen FC’s home SPL defeat by Celtic on August 15, won’t be available for selection until the end of December. McGhee said: “It could be nearer to Christmas before Zander is fully match fit.†For more on this story and bumper coverage of Aberdeen FC, pick up a copy of today's Evening Express. Quote
CtS Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Brilliant!!! let the next round of poor predictable fishing and poor predictable troll feeding commence He probably injured it fucking about on that raft thing in Austria. Quote
baggy89 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 It's quite obvious Zander doesn't like McGhee and this injury is a convenient excuse to keep him free from injury till January, when he can sign for Celtic for £2 million (which will actully be 50p and threee bottles of bubble bath, with the rest based on appearances). Personally I blame the fat orange buffon and Willie's failed chip shop business. Just thought better put a smilie Quote
mizer Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 We better get used to Richard being in the rear for the near future then. Quote
Edinburghdon Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Shouldn't be too much of a problem for you should it? Quote
