Mackie could be out for the season

[Stewart]

With knee ligament damage according to Radio Scotland.

[mizer]

Aye just heard. Luckily we are not goiing to be short for a replacement striker....

[Mentorred]

Billy who keeps emailing red tv will be happy.

Feel sorry for the guy as atleast he plays for the shirt.

[manc_don]

Wish you well Mackie. How anyone could be happy about an injury is beyond me.

[jmo]

I actually think Mackie has been quite good this season, always gets criticism but of what I've seen he's been one of the better players. Not spectacular by any stretch of the imagination but generally played well and put in a lot of effort. Sad to see him injured.

[BobbyBiscuit]

there are many problems at the club at the minute and Mackie isn't one of them.  having had experience of a bad knee ligament injury I know how hellish it can be and it can be a long way back, so best of luck to him.

All the best Dazzler, at least you don't hide

[sheepheid]

Aye, that's a shame.  Mackie is the type of player we need in a relegation battle - One who plays for the shirt and gives 100%.  Not the most gifted player in the world but always puts in a shift and when it's five games from the end of the season and we are in the shit fight, the guys who turn it on for 15 mins a game are no good to anyone.  Get fit soon Mackie, despite what others may say, you'll be missed!

[Rebus30]

I've both had knee ligament damage and broken my knee and I would say the ligament damage was far worse.  Best of luck to Mackie

ditto

[xGav8]

Lets hope for a speedy recovery.

[mini59dons]

I'm really quite pleased to see so many folk saying good things about oor Darren!

 

Seems a very vocal Minority hate the poor loon, Guy behind us in the SS giving him Pelters just before he puts in the cross for Hartley to score! Same guy then shouting 'boo' when he tries to make a challenge!

 

Never going to be a super star but gives 100% and involved in a lot more than folk give him credit for! Hopefully gets sorted sooner rather than later!

[Madbadteacher]

Reminds me of the abuse Billy Stark used to get, ignore, and play his heart out for us.

 

Plus ca change.....................

[tlg1903]

All the best Dazzler, at least you don't hide

 

Damn straight

[redordead]

shame for the boy, we could be doing with a few more adopting his spirit this season. not a great player, but no questioning his commitment

[bloo_toon_red]

we could be doing with more adopting his spirit

There's probably about 5,000 missing fans who should consider the very same thing.

[CtS]

He was doing ok last night if you ignore the fact he got booked, gave away a penalty, missed a sitter and got injured. 

 

 

Best of luck loon, as BB says long road back but you'll get there. One of us.

 

Reminds me of the abuse Billy Stark used to get, ignore, and play his heart out for us.

 

 

One of my childhood memories of Pittodrie, wondering why everyone was shouting abuse at Billy Stark. Just goes to show we had cunts in our support even back then.

 

[Jute]

Would never question his commitment just his ability. Should have been punted years ago. That said would never wish an injury on any Dons player.

[Aberdeen_Ladette]

Very bad news   

 

As others have said he is not our most skillful player, but he always gives 100% whatever position he is played in, and has scored a few very important goals for us.

 

He is one of us, Aberdeen to the core, which sadly possibly contributed to him giving 100% commitment last night v Esson leading to his injury.

 

Haste ye back Darren.

[Slim]

That'll be Maguire back out to playing on the wing then.

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

Shite news but he'll be back.

 

Return of the Mack(ie)

[glasgowdon]

That's a shame. As others have said, never going to be a world beater but he gives 100%. Get well soon.

[Tommy]

Keep your chin up Darren. Hopefully he won't be out for too long.

[Tyrant]

Not good news at all about Darren. He's always been a player that I seem to have rated above most others. I like his style (whilst admittedly not awe inspiring). Always causes a nuisence of himself and leaves the foot in. Quite a brave player too. Best of luck, Daz.
