I have to agree. I’m a member of Donstalk but is a quiet forum. It’s a shame because it actually has a fantastic layout and the guys on it are decent.

The hat is the best built site, but **** me im nae sure there’s a true don among them. There are some decent guys on it but It’s mostly full of sad f@ckers who spend there entire lives point scoring against each other on a football forum.

That's mandatory. many of them did a big flounce the season before last due to "the anti-Buckie agenda".

Anybody who isn't Lossie gets it really, which is fair enough since it began as a Lossie site.

In all honesty there was mass exodus about 2 years ago on here and Donstalk were more than happy to accept incomers. It isnt like the hat where you get shot down just for saying you were on AbMad. At least on Donstalk they stick to the subject matter, unlike the Hat which is full of garbage. You have to scroll back about 6 pages just to know what the hell they are speaking about, and even then its mostly inside jokes that no outsider gets.

Donstalk has no ads, has multiple options for different views (i.e you can sort it from recent post to last so that you dont have to scroll through heaps of pages) and the guys on there are sound. Its worth the jump. This site is becoming unusable. Would be interesting to know where the old posters went, as i have never come across them on other AFC forums.

Some big posters left a few years ago and its never been quite the same. Guys who had posts in the 10's of thousands have now gone and they were the ones who could start a thread on anything and everyone would join in. Im missing many names, but a few that i personally enjoyed were SMSW, Pitchmick, Foresthills, TAB, EJ, Acton, TRP, Pheonixx (RIP), RST, CalumGilhooly, sword_of_truth, xtrmntr75 RP et.al. There were many more, but hopefully the forum will bleed in some more folk. I think the biggest issue is that folk take things too seriously and literally and it turns into a slagging match. I have been guilty of biting in the past, but we should be here to enjoy it.

The OT thread used to be epic, but has literally turned to ****e as well. Either forums are a dying thing or folk just dont have the time anymore. Fit we need is the huns to go bust again, that really got the board stirring when Oldco went pop.

I wasn't here when this site was in it's prime so don't really have anything to compare it to but I don't feel it's that bad. Plenty ways to avoid the adverts no matter what platform you are using to view it. Usually quite busy on match days, it's got some pretty clued up posters here (it's always the first place I check if there is some gossip doing the rounds). We've got kong with all the stats we could possibly need and the Europa threads are always fun although the recent one has turned in to a petty argument of sorts for some reason.

Off topic is a bit slow but could be good fun if we can persuade a few lurkers to join in.

For me this is probably the best of the 3 sites being talked about but it's far from ideal. For a start it's completely dead on here after 11pm nowadays, which is no use to night owls like myself, but then again, there's nowhere near the number of posters there once was.
I've got to say the anti-McInnes thing also gets a bit tiresome, especially when quite a lot of the posters still feel the need to justify their hatred of the guy even when we've just won a game; there's no enjoyment in that for me. It's good to discuss the positives after a victory as we've had more than our fair share of shyte to put up with in the past 20 years or so, but I'm also happy to criticise when it's deserved i.e. not every week.

AFC Chat has quite a lot of the original posters from here but it's also full of numpties and I can't be arsed with some of the nonsense being spouted on there.

Dons Talk has potential but the last time I looked the posts were far too slow to get any kind of banter going.

erchieplum
29-05-2018, 10:32 PM
Quiet at moment as most of the regular posters are staking out Greggs to be first to identify and confirm new signings.

I still think it is the best Dons site although some "Morrice the butcher's brither 2018" lavatorial literature would be a welcome addition.

I still much prefer this forum to football on Facebook or twitter ( especially twitter which I will never understand - relying on wee erchie to tell me the team on way to the match )

I do despair sometimes with the pro Aberdeen anti Scotland stuff but perhaps if Shinnie makes his long deserved Scotland debut in a couple of hours we might see a bit more positivity ,especially as we are seeing Aberdeen and other non glesca clubs players getting a look in.

Totally agree - I lurked for a while and signed up in 2010. Though I was never a prolific poster, the footy and especially the off topic forum were absolutely brilliant then.

Your band / album world cups etc were always good Termie min.

Though Walters eloquent and detailed analysis of what he was going to do to each fine young (or not so young) filly on WYOWYN was definitely the highlight - I used to log in just to see what descriptive gems he would grace us with each day - absolutely hilarious 😂

Theres the issue. Since winning the league cup (with a favourable draw but a cups a cup and goes in the trophy cabinet)

Bottled St Johnstone at Ibrox "let it go" (was talking about not seeing a double for a long time in the Alex Smith thread, prime chance)
Bottled Dundee Utd semi "let it go"
Bottled Dundee at Dens at first hurdle "let it go"
Beat by second tier Hibs at first hurdle "let it go"
Beat by a poor newly promoted Hearts at first hurdle"let it go"
F@cking disgrace v Celtic "let it go"
Did nae bad v Celtic in the final. Folk harp on about it and its brought up in defence of McInnes. Benchmarked for some McInnesites
Bottled Motherwell at first hurdle this season this season "let it go"
F@cking disgrace v Motherwell "let it go"

We can only realistically win cups. A very poor pigs drawing and 7 times and losing once at home and still coasting the league last season is proof to that. We are more than capable of a cup but they seem to be our managers kryptonite.So how long does second is better than a trophy and shut up about the cups mentality go on for. I'm f@cking sick of it. Coming second to a team we have a miniscule to f@ck all chance of catching is not bad and credit wheres its due but its not the be all and f@cking end all. Its accepting failure

Folk are having a go at Alex Smith on his thread. He bottled one huge game and that cant be denied but that list above is f@cking atrocious. We could have and should have had 3 finals at very least if we had the correct mentality installed

So no I wont let it go and I'm sure this subject will rear its head again

Fair enough Motherwell was second hurdle, shoot me

Even with a weak squad we should not be getting our asses well and truly handed to us by a poor Motherwell in a semi. Especially as the second best team in the country

I don't hide the fact I don't like him and since I lost all respect I have not tried to hide it. I have credited him when due. Hibs at home and Celtic away being two that stick out. At least I am consistent with my dislike for him

I will be pitching up tomorrow actually. Tri-generation affair too as my old boy fancies it. Hope the weather is like this

Theres the issue.


No its not.
how many times do we have to go over it?
The league cup defeat was disgraceful. Louis Moult was the big difference that game, add in a not so convincing game from Lewis in goals.
The Scottish cup I half expected, not because Motherwell are a better team than us, but because our squad was extremely stretched. Losing your Captain (main driver of the team), your main playmaker and creativity player, a defender who had played in every game of the season and two wingers who were doubtful in the week to make the squad, let alone the team. We started well in that game and a calamity of defensive errors costs us badly.


A very poor pigs drawing and 7 times and losing once at home and still coasting the league last season is proof to that.

Nice of you to mention that we were the only domestic team to beat Celtic at their home since Rogers took over.
No other fxucker managed it.
Surprised you noticed it with your whitewash fixation.
But also don't understand why your interested in the league, 2nd means nothing and you said we have no chance of winning the league.
Maybe your thoughts are we should put all into the cups and disregard the league.
Did you love the Ebbe season when we were bottom and got to both cup finals?


We could have and should have had 3 finals at very least if we had the correct mentality installed


Yet we were in 2 finals the year before.
So have been in 50% of the finals in the last two years.

I would love to win it all, we should want to win every game we play in, but in football, that's unlikely to happen.
There will be games we lose and draw in.
Success is winning as much games as you can and hopefully that contrives to bringing in silverware now and again.



So no I wont let it go and I'm sure this subject will rear its head again

Nae doubt.
Maybe the club should run a sweeper as to when you'll move on.
the club could make a fortune although take a long time to realise the raised funds

Fair enough Motherwell was second hurdle, shoot me

Good that you are going, due to the choo choo situation we have changed plans, we will be there though and having banter with both coaches accordingly, as per.

Fingers crossed for the Hive against the “foo muchers” 👍

“hurdles”......the only one I’m worried about is the last one at M/R today in the 2:50......need to fund the weekend and all that🤞

1- it is the issue as second is clearly more important to many

2-League cup was a bottle job. Even the reliable Lewis was at it

3-The Scottish cup was absolutely unacceptable on every level and to use players missing as an excuse is nae right. Motherwell are ****e and we should be able to beat them with half a team

4- I was the first person to mention the last time the pigs were beat at home and the date and team on the match thread and then followed up by crediting the team and the manager.

5-The Ebbe comparison is another one of your stupid things to post as I'm not saying that I would want to come bottom as we are well past those days. We have a good team that is more than capable of winning a cup as our league position shows. We have had a capable team for a long time. We didn't take advantage of the Ronnie the Roaster days. Prime opportunity. Even Lennon wasn't too keen on Cups.But we fluff our lines continuously in these games. (along with a hell of a lot of bigger games in the league).

6- good maths but what about all the other f@ck ups in cups in his tenure. Also that LC final v the pigs was one of the worst experiences of my Dons days. Beat before a ball was kicked and ragdolled all game. A f@cking disgrace. But I suppose we were second in that tournament so it cool. Second is where its at

7-I don't think we will win a cup under McInnes and he will be to blame. So aye this will be brought up again. I'm not going to sit back and accept second when there is a huge potential on the park. Not a f@cking hope. With a bit more balls in certain games I'm more than sure we would have won another trophy at least. the old saying "heid first" should be our mentality and should be painted on the walls of the Pittodrie hallways so the players are ingrained with it

Thankfully I saw the “Big Picture” and the last hurdle was navigated as I hoped......fair night last night after watching Woodside/Cove and another fair day today is on the agenda cheering on the Hive.... thank you very much BetFred.

You're probably on the road by now JJ, spoke to the auld fella last night. He's driving through, I think on his own (he's away on holiday Sunday so is biding aff the peeve) so there'll probably be a lift available back to the Riviera if it's "early dark" for any soldiers. :-)

Sadly not too many soldiers managed thru for 100% reasons that put all this fitba pish into perspective, currently in Murdos having a small libation with decent sorts, Ferryhill House next and then back to the riviera 👍🍻🙂

Oh, by the way, we lost 1-0.....sack the current coach as the Knowledgable would say.

That Morag Pirie will not be missed as a ref if that was her last vame. She was f@cking diabolical today.

Stonewall penalty to the hive in the first half. Right in front of us. ****ebagged it under pressure by BoD players and said there was an offside which the lino didnt give. Shocker

BoD boy taken down towards end of first half. Stonewaller. Even things up.

The boy up front for BoD Watt booting the keeper off the ball. Easily a sending aff. Lino looking at it and ref saying "i seen it". Well if she saw it it was red

F@cking blatant pen in the second half for handball to the Hive not given. I saw it from the other end it was that clear. She waved it on. Laughable decision.

Watt scores with his hand and she gives the goal as she pointed to centre and ran off but after Stoney boys surrounded her she wemt to the lino who said hand ball. He didnt flag but i believe it was because it was so blatant and he didnt think it was possible to give a goal.

Through out the game she was intimidated by the BoD players. It was more than obvious.

Sh@te game over all with nae much action bar the ref f@ck ups. Gave me and my da a laugh at the sheer incompetence though

At least the Hive manager can get to two cup finals and more than like win the next een.

Surprised you dinna want the Hive manager sacked as they didnt come second

At least you had a laugh, I did not but met with decent sorts and spoke to both management teams post match and obviously wished Morag well accordingly, one more game though that unfortunately coincides with Tattie’s send off, quite a few mates grew up playing with Tattie and I’ll raise a glass at half time at Heatheryfold as the Hive strive to win.

Did Morag get that game out of sentiment as shes chucking it in. she was way beyond usual levels of sh@te in the lower ends of fitba

Astonishingly pathetic
