[kkong]

Which first team player do we have who is aged 26?

Gary Mackay-Steven? Doesn't seem the type.

[Mason89]

Yep, that's the one.

Unconfirmed gossip at this stage

[Jupiter]

Our only 26 year olds are GMS and Shinnie

[Pacman1903]

I heard it was one of ours


http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk

Why would players be doon there in the early hours of today. I would have thought they would all be on the bus after the game.

Out of Shinnie and GMS i know who i would think it was

Twitter rumours are that it's GMS

Pacman, the players have been given a few days off

[Hairdrier]

Can't see Shinnie jumping into the River Kelvin somehow.
The 'other' sites saying it was GMS rescued.

There you go.

GMS can handle his drink then. He is just a wee loon

[redscot]

Is he ok ?

Shay Logan has caught a train from Kilmarnock station right after a game, on at least one occasion.

I always thought players had light training on sunday. Used to anyway.

[sheepcrooky]

I always thought players had light training on sunday. Used to anyway.

It's a international week and none of our players ever get called because of Strachan/McGhee's hatred of the club that made them famous.

However, if this is true, GMS should be ashamed of himself. He has got one hell of a fight on for a starting spot between him and Scotty Wright. This incident (if confirmed) won't be earning him many brownie points.

[GASC1980]

It was GMS. He was with Stuart Armstrong.

[Feck_the_Huns]

Must have been in one helluva state to end up in a river, whoever bladdered you are.

Hopfully he is okay but lucky lucky boy if he is.

Stupid cnut.

If this is true he should be sacked with immediate effect. Aberdeen are a family football club. The responsibility of drinking being a professional football player have been discussed on here at length before. It has cost players and managers their jobs in the past and he should be no different. It sends the wrong message. We don't want to go back to the bad days of players getting pished 4 days before games and ending up at private eyes etc.

Sacked really your a harsh c••t are you nae!!

[Stavros39]

First and foremost he is fine I hope, daft thing doing that but alcohol is a demon cu•t and people have done crazy **** on alcohol. DM will give him a wee taking tae and warm him about this.

[Jupiter]

If he is sacked, maybe he will leave Pittodrie in a car boot.

[LED]

Sacked really your a harsh c••t are you nae!!
Indeed I am. 😉. As long as he is ok, then he can go back to weegie land. Do you rodgers would put up wirh that?

[TheRealSLYFOX]

He's ****e anyway. Perfect excuse to get rid.

[Aldo1983]

Family club!? What does that even mean? Must have missed that in my time supporting Aberdeen.


Anyway, sums up his start so far. Came here to sink or swim but ended up floundering about and getting hypothermia. Good effort. Never been that mad with it.

hopefully he's okay, lesson learnt then comes back consistantly showing all the skills he has.

People will carp on about this for a while.

[Pacman1903]

Do you think Scott Wright is secretly pleased with this.

[rico94]

I think most of us have done stupid things while drunk in our 20s so give the guy a break,calling for him to be sacked is ridiculous.

He has scored 1 goal and created another so far,he hasn't got off to a great start but certainly a lot better than the signing who some think is going to come good when he finally scores a goal.

[Feck_the_Huns]

You don't just FALL into a river, p1ssed up or not p1ssed up.

If he went for a midnight dip, p1ssed or otherwise, he's a t1t.

However, has anybody contemplated that he threw himself in there for another reason, which has altogether more worrying and sympathetic overtones?

[Pacman1903]

I beg to differ. I fell in steaming wasnt deliberate. Tripped on a paving stone and went arse over tit down the bank and sploosh. Instant sobreness and i got out. Lucky it was May and nae December or the outcome would have been alot different

My pockets were full of earwigs after

[Mason89]

I walked off the sea wall in Lochranza pished.

Okay, so if that is the case here, it begs the question, and one that we've been having for decades and will no doubt continue to do so for the next few decades, why would an employer pay an employee, paid for his athletic ability, about £3000 a week and let him p1ss it up against a wall?

He's a player at a crossroads in his career, and that's the way he thinks best to improve it? T1t.

I'm not saying sack the cnut but some sort of contractual punishment has to be in order

He's 26, not 16

You mean he was so bleezin he thought he was still playing for the Tims and would get a penalty for a dive?

One report says that there had been trouble in the Sanctuary nightclub he was in, and 'left after an incident inside'.

[rico94]

I don't agree with it but the majority of British footballers get p*ssed even these days.Even your guffball players who get paid millions still drink and do stupid things.Its not right considering they are supposed to be professional athletes but there isn't much chance of it changing anytime soon.

It's not even the worst incident regarding one of our players getting drunk and doing something daft,I can think of a few that were worse.

[Mason89]

It would also be quite interesting to see how many players come down with a Colombian flu on a Sunday.

Agree entirely, this could easily have been a cry for help or something worse. If there are underlying mental issues which would cause someone to throw themselves into a river, then AFC have a duty of care to make sure the player is in the right state of mind before even thinking of him playing again. We don't know the facts yet (nor should we) so anything just now is baseless speculation, as fun as that is.

Mason, are you sure you weren't booted off a sea wall in Lochranza for talking sh!te?

[ByeByeScum2012]

From website:

The club can confirm Gary Mackay-Steven was involved in an incident in the River Kelvin on Sunday morning.

He was treated for hypothermia but is now at home and recovering well.

On behalf of Gary, the club extends its thanks to the emergency services involved.

The club will not be commenting further on the matter.

[Pacman1903]

The club will not be commenting further on the matter.

Because hes away to get an inhouse c@nting

[DonVincenzo (The II)]

You don't just FALL into a river, p1ssed up or not p1ssed up

Where is the logic in that?

Here, around 12 people are chopped up by Canal cruisers every year after being missing after a night out, with their heads or arms missing from the torso's.

Its not a serial killer, its called doing a p1sh in the water and loosing balance.

[rico94]

I think an inhouse b@llocking,a hefty fine and possibly a donation to the rescue services as someone suggested should be enough and move on.

We are after all the club who never sacked their manager when he was too hungover to show up for a game because he was out on the p*ss the night before,that should have been an instant dismissal.

I'd agree with that just get him tae sort it oot and concentrate on playing

next............

[hulldon]

It seems that he was in the club - Sanctuary (?) - and was getting some verbals. He left before anything could happen and was seemingly heading to his flat - nearby it seems - and jumped a wall as a shortcut, but Kelvin was swollen after recent rain ( can confirm it was fast as I had a nice pint in Inn at the Deep that night. Well worth a visit.)
Anyway, although this sounds a little suspicious, I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Some over-reaction from some on here, I feel!

[InversneckieDob]

Me too......Falkirk 1995 ...... lang ish story.

150% p!sh.

I have fallen in a river p!5hed.
Wasn't swimming or owt, I was looking for a shortcut and took a tumble.

[Mr_Grieves]

Its hardly a surprise that an Aberdeen and ex tim player was getting verbals in a club in Glasgow on Saturday night. This situation could have been easily avoided by not going out on the p1ss in Glasgow.

Scott Wright is bound to start in our next match - I'm sure he'll take to it like a duck to water.......

[Pacman1903]

ALL of us talk ****e. Sometimes. You need to recognise and admit that before you can start to wise up .

I`ll try to help you as much as I can Mason.

So, next time I tell you that you`re talking ****e, please realise it`s for your own good ?:)

[andoplzcumbak]

The guys have a couple of weeks off so understandable that some went out to let their hair down. The actual incident doesn't bother me as sh!t happens.
However, I've always been led to believe through fitness coaches that one night bevvying sets your fitness back a couple of weeks.. which can't be good in the first month of the season.
So I'm more annoyed that some of our players are taking these hits on their fitness levels.

[andoplzcumbak]

Another thing, if Armstrong was also in the piss, that's even worse as he'll be in the squad/team for the game v Malta on Monday I'd guess!

Very good "donunder". Methinks we are the only two on here who know what you are talking about!
But I had an excuse - I'd just seen the Dons' greatest achievement ever... And I hope GMS was nae as blootered as I was then!

[donsdaft]

Hey Hulldon min, you were out in Glasgow on Saturday night?

You didn't happen to be in the company of anyone celebrating their 30th birthday were you?

[ILikeJam]

150% p!sh.

I have fallen in a river p!5hed.

I'm another one that's been in a river whilst p!shed (twice actually...)

First time I was on exam leave at high school and had been in the boozer with my mates acting billy big b0ll0cks downing double JD and cokes. Made it down the first 2 steps of the pub door then missed the last 3 and landed on my face in the street. Picked myself up after an unknown period of time to head for home and found my mate walking over the bridge along the top of the wall. Tried to pull him down onto the pavement but missed him and went @rse-over-t!t into the water below - luckily the fall was broken by tree branches and was able to walk away from it unscathed.

The second time was about a year later aged 17 and thinking it was hilarious to wake my mate up by chucking stones at the window at 3am - only for his da to appear with a golf club running at me! Jumped the fence and down the hill to the river and chose to swim it before getting battered - it was December and literally freezing. Daft laddie, lucky to get away with it.

Here's hoping GMS was something fairly innocuous like that and not anything more serious to worry about.

[hulldon]

Hey Hulldon min, you were out in Glasgow on Saturday night?

You didn't happen to be in the company of anyone celebrating their 30th birthday were you?

Donsdaft - nope. Was with 28yo nephew and his other half, having been at Firhill with nephew. Got to say, some Agfa fine pubs in West end these days - great beer, and not too many tw*ts!

[Hairdrier]

Is the boy GMS highly strung, or a bit feil ?

Send him out on loan, or to counselling.

[KIWIRED]

Hope he gets the riot act read to him

Written and final warning about his conduct

Hardly acting as a professional sportsman, but he has learned a life lesson.


He should be thankfull to the emergency services who risked their own lifes to pull him out

Embrassing, very embrassing for him.

Sort him out DM

[sheepcrooky]

I guess none of us may ever know the full story. Could just be a very silly loon with too much booze, or he have issues we don't know about.

It's a bit harsh wanting him sacked, etc. Hopefully he recovers and plays a full part in a great season for AFC (Scott Wright will take some shifting though).

[Hairdrier]

It's fair to say he needs to wise up, no wonder Celtic were keen to sell him.

[rico94]

Not sure why people think Wright has cemented his place because of this,GMS has 1 goal and 1 assist which is the same as Wright,I would imagine the 2 of them will get rotated along with Stewart like McInnes has been doing so far.

This whole river thing won't bother McInnes,he proved off field acts from his players don't concern him when he signed Goodwillie.

[notinmyname]

I'm another one that's been in a river whilst p!shed (twice actually...)

I'll own up too... was on a tiny rock fishing in Oslo fjord when I over swung the rod losing my balance....SPLASH. Had had a drink but not legless.... once you are in - you are in... had to be hauled out with a rod as the sides are steep as. I have seen a lot of urban rivers are reinforced / contained / flat-sided as part of flooding defence. So unless you know where the rescue rings and ladders are (tricky in the dark) you are a bit fuber'd...

[andoplzcumbak]

I've took a shortcut over a shallow bit of the Nith that turned out to be not so shallow while pished XD

Shouldn't we wait & see before judging?

Perhaps there are other reasons (mental) that caused this?

If it is drunken stupidity, then boll0ck him

[AirdrieDon]

To be fair to GMS, **** happens. I'm less upset by this than I was about McGinn being spotted at Celtic Park at a time we were jockeying for 1st with Ronny Deila's Celtic. Or Zander and his ugly mug in front of a Celtic birthday cake (enough nightmares watching him play in a Dons top without seeing those two things in the same pic). Or Ryan Jack lying to McInnes about not wanting to join the Huns. Or Ricky Foster, in a general sense. Or David Goodw- well.....you get my point.

Hope he is ok and it doesn't affect his form, should maybe be convincing him to move up to Aberdeen. I've never been comfortable having players so far away from the city the club is actually based in, personally. Saying that, there is a Peterhead team bus parked round the corner from me in Airdrie. Fair trek for part-timers. Presumably a few of them getting picked up in the bus based in the Central Belt. Might ask them to drop em off at Pittodrie ;D

[EintrachtFrankfurt]

Hopefully he-GMS learns his lesson from this.

[Pacman1903]

Your nae allowed to say that that was an issue on here. People get offended because there were nothing wrong with his actions that night(i take it you mean the Rugby Park photo)

[AirdrieDon]

Well aye but it was just being used as a rhetorical device of how little this GMS thing hurts Aberdeen in the grand scheme of things, rather than saying it was some massive travesty. By what accounts we have so far heard, it sounds like an accident.

You don't accidentally tumble through a turnstile into Rugby Park with your former team mates. And it was picked up on by the club at the time if I recall correctly.

Of course, the weegia will be having a field day, but a Dons player or fan only needs to fart in the wrong direction for that to happen.

I'm not excusing myself at all here as it was utter drunken fuddery on my part which cannot be doubted. But where it happened is the only place along the whole path that it was physically possible for me to do it. The only place the path is less than a couple of meters from the water(the distance of around half a meter being a drop down a river bank). I remember going back to see where I fell a couple of days later and there was just a flattened section of reeds and nettles all the way down. Two things in my favour that night. 1- it was May and reasonably warm 2-i sobered up immediately on submergence and 3-I'm a pretty strong guy and I managed to pull myself out(cutting my hands to f@ck in the process.) I was a drunken walloper in my younger days. I still think I could make that same walk in the same state a hundred times again and it wouldn't happen.

Ach I can laugh now but f@ck me it could have been worse. it was the day of the Chelsea v Manure FA cup final in 2006 maybe 07. Day oot in toon at the Highland Hotel. Back to Ellon at night, should have got off the bus and went home, I didn't and I got damp

[deedon]

Pure guess, but the fact the club statement says they will not be commenting any further on the matter suggests there may be a sadder side to this. If it had been a drink fuelled incident they might have ended the statement by saying the matter would be dealt with internally, blah blah...

Don't see any point in speculating on this to be honest. Trust that AFC will deal with it appropriately and best for both club and player that the details are not widely circulated.


Of course, the weegia will be having a field day, but a Dons player or fan only needs to fart in the wrong direction for that to happen.

Don't know why folk still worry about the 'Weegia'. The Daily Record's circulation is a small fraction of what it was only 15 years ago.

[donsdaft]

Well thank god for that.
Getting pished and making a total a'rse of yourself is at least understandable.

A major improvement on trying to top himself anyway.

I couldn't have taken any more of the "mental issues " and "the club has a duty of care" p'ish.

Nice gurn

[StandfreeFM]

I couldn't have taken any more of the "mental issues " and "the club has a duty of care" p'ish.

P!sh? I think the understanding and general compassion surrounding mental health has improved drastically over the last ten years. It's only natural for those of us who have been affected by "mental issues" to recognise the possibility that this episode might have deeper psychological issues that will take longer to address than the international break. I'd be far happier if it was merely a drunken escapade gone wrong but I won't apologise for sounding a note of caution regarding speculating over an extremely odd incident involving one of our players and a river.

[donsdaft]

I'm nae asking you to apologise.

GMS's biggest problem is that he looks like a mummy's boy, making it more difficult to believe that he was just being a drunken a'rse.

He should however, be fined by the club for wearing such a ridiculous baseball cap.

I'd be far happier if it was merely a drunken escapade gone wrong but I won't apologise for sounding a note of caution regarding speculating over an extremely odd incident involving one of our players and a river.

I have plenty of experience with mental health issues as they have tried their hardest to f@ck up my life and succeeded to an extent. But I have to say I never for once thought this was a cry for help fae GMS and thought it was drunken fuddery all along

Fair enough. As I say I hope it is drunken fuddery. But you're saying it as if the whole story has been explained. We don't know all the facts (again, nor should we) so I'm just suggesting there may be more to it than the Daily Record's tale of spoilt footballers and glasgow gangsters.

It's not the best pic. You can see why somebody wanted to punch him

Folk on here will do better than me with the lyrics but surly Tina Tuners "Proud Mary" could be used?


Scott Wright keeps on scorin'
so Proud Gary went and got roarin'
now he's, rollin', rollin'
rollin' in the river

Well pointed out. I hate Tina Turner (its a hun thing) and theres nothing wrong with a bit of Creedance Clearwater Revival (who have ironically never revived)

Aye Agreed Tina`s rep is tarnished through no fault of her own ( cue some gadgie posting a pic of her with a hun scarf !! )

Creedance CLEARWATER Revival is more appropriate for GMS situation anyway.


Not sure that CCR could be revived mind. Think the Loon that wrote all the songs is Deid ?

[donsdaft]

F'uck me Pacman min, we agree on something musical.

Dinna worry Loon. It`s nae a huge thing !!

More worried that some kids think " Another Girl, another Planet" is a Blink 182 original !!!!

[Mason89]

Tina Turner is a Hun drag artist

[Ajja]

Going Midnight Swimming. :P

Surely some sort of REM rendition is in order?

I thought Tina Turner was deid, but according to the internet she is still alive.

Nope - John Fogerty is still alive. On the Creedence Clearwater Revival theme, there are quite a few songs that are apt..

Green River, Born on the Bayou and Bad Moon Rising - "don't go round tonight.....".

I read an interview and Foggy was saying a "revival" winna happen.

The Eagles also said that so theres hope yet

[krakowdon]

I have a recollection that Annie May distanced herself from the hun when she became aware of their use of STB, but maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

Ike and Tina produced some classics to be fair, including the definitive, for me, River Deep Mountain High.

And the Ikettes, without whom we might not have had PP Arnold :heart:

[Jupiter]

According to Mr google, CCR's original name was the Golliwogs

AH. PP Arnold. Now you`re talking. What a voice. Backed by the Small Faces on a lot of her early tracks ?

Then a scratch support band for her UK tours turned themselves into The Nice.......then ELP. Lost interest there !!

Amazing how far off tangent we can get from some Loon falling in the water .:O

[krakowdon]

Aye, she skipped the Ikettes after Jagger introduced her to Loog Oldham and she signed for Immediate. Never quite achieved the success she deserved. New (lost) album due according to the current Mojo.


Second only to Dusty in my book.

Actually met Mr and Mrs Fogarty a few years back. Quite a character. Didn't seem in need of reviving either. Alive and well.

Based purely on that article, which is probably complete sh1te, it sounds like the bouncers did exactly what they're meant to do

I like the fact hes reffered to as a "wideboy" it made me laugh as that most likely what he was being that night. Nae sure why hes getting pictured wi his shopping ootside his hoos though.

[edgarprais]

Most surprising thing in that article is that he has a burd. I always assumed he was gayer than a French Horn.

[rico94]

Are the Glasgow press still going on about this.

I wonder if they would have even bothered reporting it in the first place if Aberdeen weren't top of the league.

It's hardly a witch hunt. If it were a Celtic or rangers player it would be on the front page for the next few weeks with special pull out articles in a couple of years.

The Glasgow/weegie press thing is nonsense. Imagine if this was Ryan Jack!? We'd be jizzing over this and hoping he gets the jail.

[blowupsheep]

Aberdeen are a family football club.

Fit a heap of bollox, or are you referring to the same "family club" that when Stevie May thumped in the winner against Dundee the other week that pretty much the whole stadium were on their feet belting out a round of "who the fk is Stevie May" nae sure if the family stand section were all on their feet or no as the weather was sh1te I could not clearly see from the DD stand, but referring to the dons now as a family club is sh1te as football is now a huge business within entertainment, the "family club" tag was shifted many a long year ago

Because he's wearing SHORTS. After having HYPOTHERMIA.
You get hypothermia from being COLD.........and he's wearing SHORTS.
D'you see?

It's FUNNY

Aye exactly. A day oot to Pittodrie isnt exactly a great day oot for the family. Get in-watch first half-high five Angus-watch second half-go home. Family friendly stuff. Its quite shocking how they dont try and make it a family affair

I can't recall them reporting Scott Brown lying on the street pyshed the week before the league cup final 2015 more than once.Or the many antics of Leigh Griffiths being a general Ned on numerous occasions.

Why would we be wanting Ryan Jack jailed for falling into a river drunk?

It's hardly the crime of the century.

They did report the Scott brown incident and various other stories. Not that it really matters as there's about 7 people buying the Daily Record these days.

Paranoid stuff.

As far as I remember it was reported once that Brown was out on the pysh the week before the final and it wasn't reported 3 days in a row because there was nothing else to say about it.

The story that they printed today was saying that GMS was drunk in the nightclub before he fell into the river,no sh@t he was drunk in the nightclub we all knew that already so why are they going on about it 4 days later.They need to let it go and move on.

The new 'lost' album The Turning Tide (KUNDALINI MUSIC) has been sent to me for review and is every bit as good we always understood it to be.

John Fogerty may have been the only musician to have been sued for plagiarizing himself. He was involved in a court case after the company he sold the rights to his songs to sued him because one of his new songs sounded like one of his old ones!

[Aldo1983]

You shouldn't be so scared of them. No-one down here gives a flying ****. Hopefully that news will reach you soon. In the meantime you just worry about the White Walkers.
