I think we might see Tobers in the middle. I think it was Rico, who says that midfield is his position in the Latvian team and can't do much worse than what we are

I’ve variously seen shouts for Tobers, Milne, Jensen and Dorrington all to be tried in midfield which is pretty damning given the plethora of central midfielders we have. Its why I still find it hard to accept it’s entirely personnel related.

Every team needs a Brian Grant.

LOVE this. LOVE it. Bob on. Loved Granty and it’s been my main bugbear for a long time.
Does his loon still play? Worth a look?

[Mason89]

I think it must’ve been on team of the decade or a season review video but every time I drive by bannockburn, the phrase ‘Brian Grants from Bannockburn so naturally he’s a battler’ pops into my head

Funny how stuff like that sticks

[Jormungand]

better than the likes of Ojo, Vyner, Ball, Forrester, Gleeson, Bryson etc

I mind Ojo, mostly because of 57V frequently reminding us of that rat PJM who assaulted him mid-game. The others though... who?

[rico94]

Where are you hiding Rico? I am awaiting your response to my 3 questions.

I wasnt hiding my dad had to go into hospital on Wednesday so ive been dealing with that, fortunately he is on the mend and looks like he will get home tomorrow.

Remind me what your 3 questions were?

I read that in the voice of Jock Brown

All the best to your dad Rico

[rico94]

Thanks obi.

Age catches up on all of us eventually but at least he still has his humour.

He texted earlier to say at least he managed to get us out of going to the football today

Good to hear he is on the mend.

A straight yes or no will do with these few questions from yourself

Are you happy to see Steven Gunn leave his position at Aberdeen FC?

Do you think Alan Burrows role at Aberdeen FC is necessary in a footballing capacity?

Is Jimmy Thelin the manager you can fully support at the club?

If you want a simple yes or no answer to your 3 questions then,

1. Yes
2. No
3. No

My turn now with a simple yes or no answer from you to 1 question

Do you think any of our 4 permanent managers we have had since Derek McInnes was sacked by Dave Cormack have been any better than Derek McInnes?

No. The club have failed themselves by not improving on Derek McInnes. He wasn’t exactly a successful manager so you would have hoped it wouldn’t have been too difficult a task to up the game.
Wow, Cormack has definitely failed us in that respect.
I made a point on the sack Jimmy Turnip thread that players who have seen 3 managers or more sacked should not be representing the club and be removed as soon as possible. Maybe the same could be said of the hierarchy who pick the managers. If you have been involved in employing 3 or more managers to improve a team but constantly are getting it wrong you should remove yourself from making decisions about who to employ. It is nothing personal against these people it’s just a business decision. Don’t keep letting failing people have influence within managers and playing staff.
Aberdeen FC really do need to up their game.

Sorry to hear your dad is in hospital min, but glad he is on the mend.
Family much more important than any fkd up football team or anything.

My answers to the questions of Red John exactly the same as yours.
And no I do not think any of the managers we have had since sacking McInnes have been better.
Actually the writing was on the wall when Cormack appointed Glass, yes we all wanted it to work but we all also knew that it wouldn't

Dons fans are a fickle bunch and hard to please, but fcuk sake Cormack is not making life easy for us with his fkd up appointments
when he sacks Thelin my worry then is who the fk is he going to take in next, what manager in their right mind would want to take this club on especially when colgate teeth and burrows are still here

Our legendary goalkeeper Bobby Clark, turns 80 years young today.

Was my Gym teacher a Tullos Primary for a few weeks in the early 80s and a seemed nice chap.

[swaddon2]

Definitely in the top 3 Aberdeen goalkeepers of all time. Maybe even top two.

Jim Leighton is still the number 1 number 1 in my opinion.

[blowupsheep]

Congratulations to the young Dons on winning the Aberdeenshire Trophy last night on penalties.
Well done loons

Pete Ambrose scored and provided an assist.

Have to feel sorry for the guy seeing Yengi get a game ahead of him and being totally frozen out.

Anyway, well done lads.
First win since 2004 and a nice old school trophy to sit alongside the world's greatest trophy, currently residing in our trophy room.
