Aberdeen v Dundee

[The_Moog]

I’ll be very surprised if McGrath & MacKenzie are not away - been way too long now to get a deal done.

I’d rather keep both, but if they move on (with usual caveat about where they go) then so be it & good luck.

I have every faith Jimmy T will be able to replace them with guys that’ll soon make us forget all about them…

Same opinion as myself. I would like to keep McGrath but MacKenzie is a lad who needs to up his defensive game. Can’t read a game (whilst defending) to save himself.
Good going forward but if you are playing at left back you must be able to defend first and foremost.
McGrath scores a few and assists plenty. He will be the bigger miss.
I do want both to become better and stick learning under Thelin. I also would much prefer Thelin deciding who to keep and who to not rather than a player deciding for him.

Sadly think they’ll both be away. Disappointed, but if they can make much greater money elsewhere who can blame them. Folk have to think of their families.

I’d be really sad to lose Mackenzie. Not just for his play. I love having a player who comes through with us, even more so if they’re local.
Bizarrely like DD says it seems to have the opposite effect with others - feels like he’s never really won over a section of the support.
Still irritating we never saw him until he was what 22?

Obvious caveat is if Jack were to end up at one of them. I’m not having it’s only a job to them blah blah etc
If Joe Lewis from Suffolk gets it, I don’t believe our own don’t. Hopefully nothing to those rumours.

I have a feeling (that’s all it is BTW) that Brenda will see further potential in him, unfortunately!

As a loon from the shire I have to protest this idea that we’re in any way less Hun hating! Even my own lad, who’s never lived in Scotland, has it written into his genetic coding to be hun hating. It’s good parenting, pure and simple.

[Br0chred]

It's the ones brought up in the 'Shire' whose parents are working in oil that are accepting of hunnery.

Both my loons have been brought up correctly and detest both the cheeks and know a few of their pals are the same.

Any other way is poor parenting in my opinion.

Can't agree at all, I was brought up in the Broch and my hatred for the hun is limitless. I do wonder if our team being garbage from 97-2007 did leave a core of our support, who started attending then, with less reason to hate them. Anyway I don't have anyone to pass on my hatred to, (which I would certainly have done) but my good chum, the sadly missed Donsdaft, did a wonderful job with his offspring.

No offense meant min and not what I was saying. I know fine well there are good dandies out in 'the shire'.

I'm referring to young dons who support the team now. A lot of folk I work with live 'out in the shire', never a specific area, just 'the shire' and whose folks have heads stuck so far up their own backside and it rubs off on the kids.

You can hear young folk in my work speaking about the EPL or Champions League and refer to it as 'footie' or 'soccer'. I mean, come on, that's not right in itself.

About 15 years ago, Altens Industrial estate, any Thursday morning around 0820…

Highland League full back colleague: “Morning min 57 min, ye radge omhell and several surrounding postal code districts. Did youbsee Barca on the telly last night?”

Me, pressing ctrl+alt+delete to close the bicycle xenon LED lighthouse-strength lights sale webpage: “Were the Dons involved?”

HLFBC: “No min, it wis the Champions League”.

Me: “Does it affect, in any way, no matter how minor it may seem, Keith’s upcoming grudge match with those Cove cùnts?”

HLFBC: “No min, it wis the Champions League”.

Me: “In light of its having no discernible effect on the Dons, and the custodians of the Undisputed Home Of Intergalactic Proper Mannies’ Fitba, I dinna give a fùck. Now, get roon to the Shell garage and get wir coffee”.

Anyone who refers to football as "footy" should be barred from watching it for life.

"Soccer" is acceptable, though. As is "fitba".
