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.

Aye well done Peter
And yes DD totally agree with ya pal.
Ambrose must be feeling like sh1t seeing that muppet Yengi even getting on the bench ahead of him.
OK Ambrose is nae world beater but if it is a straight decision between him and fkn Yengi then Ambrose wins that every day of the week by a country mile.

But for some reason picks
Yengi agead of Ambrose all the time
That in itself right there should be grounds for instant dismissal

The P and J report that Lutz the penguin stealer was at the Aberdeenshire Cup final.

Nothing official, but apparently our new Director of Football.

If true, I can't help but think this is the wrong man for the role.

Totally agree DD mate 100% 🤦*♂️

Lutz is also in talks with Borussia MG according to the Scottish Sun.

Don't really know all that much on the ability of Dylan Lobban as I have never seen the lad play and have not really heard all that much about him.
But fair play to the lad and good luck to him as he signed a three year contract extension with the Dons.
Hopefully a homegrown talent for the not too distant future.
All the best Dylan

Lobban will break into the first team, turn down a new contract and bugger off to Rangers for free.

They all do.

As I said pal, I don't really know all that much about the lad. Don't know if he is talented or not, but if he is and he breaks into the first time then let's hope he breaks that mould of fkn off for free.
But if he is sh1te then the huns or anyone else for that matter are welcome to him.
But in the meantime fairplay to the loon for at least signing up for the next 3 years.
And here's hoping he is decent.

Good luck loon

Club reprimanded and fined 1000GBP, 500 of it suspended, for fielding an ineligible player at Forfar the other week.

It really was a sh*t night for the club.

Comes from a good family of Dandies and is very highly rated. I hope he gets some game time this season.

I would like to see us give some of our youth players more of an opportunity.

There have been arguments in the past few years that these youngsters arent good enough but they should still be given a chance to see what they can offer.

Some of them cant be any worse than some of the signings we have made in the last few years.

That was really poor from Aberdeen FC. A club of their stature should not be fielding any ineligible players. If there is any doubt whatsoever just leave the player out.
I am maybe a bit hard on football clubs at times but someone would definitely be removed from their role at the club if that happened if I was the chairman.

Wasn’t it against Forfar that Cove Rangers did the same last year in the league cup? Odd coincidence.

I always find these cases highly embarrassing. Poor show.

Aye Lobban is 20 yet has had zero minutes. I believe he can play at 10, an area we were sorely lacking in at times.

Don’t know if it’s as much about modern football or us specifically but just feels like we are woeful at bringing our own through. Have to see stats, maybe fans of all clubs feel similarly?

I just know I used to really enjoy end of season games when the kids were invariably involved.

I can’t blame the parents of kids who move South, far too rare to get a sniff of first team action with us.

Hopefully Lobban manages it.

It was playing the young loon Mitchell Frame that got us the fine. He had already played for Celtic B in the competition.

Get Gunner back.

100% this.

As you say, you look at some of the players we have signed over the years, that have been worse than poor and yet our youngsters never get a minute.

Bringing through our own should always be our focus. I have no idea of the ability of Lobban, other than what I have read, but I doubt the lad would be any worse in our team than Topi Keskinin.
I don't particularly dislike Topi, but he is fecking frustrating to watch at times and would have benefited from a spell out of the team, in my opinion.

I feel a lot of this may well be down to our chairman and his pursuit of project players.

That said, we are particularly harsh on our own young players, with most written off whilst they are still at school.
