    What you say about McGrath, folk say about Clarkson. Yet one or two moments of quality in a game can turn a game in our favour. Out opponents are getting wise to them and marking them tightly which makes it harder to influence at times.

    MacKenzie being a local loon means he gets way too much stick. Read plenty of folk saying he is 'easily replaced'.

    Both Ruby and Malloy have howlers in them every game, but MacKenzie has become the new Considine and is either shyte or world class.

    I think MacKenzie will stay, but McGrath usually leaves teams when his contract is up. Hopefully we keep both of them.

    I’d be delighted to keep both but if it’s a choice between the two, I’d go for McKenzie.

    Jack McKenzie was the player who did the pre match interview with Thelin on Friday and a journalist asked him if there was an update on his contract situation.

    He said there wasn’t an update because he’s been concentrating on his football which usually means the player isn’t going to be signing a new contract.

    I like McKenzie and McGrath and would be happy if they signed new deals but let’s be honest,if we can end up winning 16 out of 18 games this season after losing Bojan Miovski we will be fine if those 2 guys decide to leave.

    Wonder if he’s on the radar of the club all these other diehard Aberdeen fans seem to end up at

    IMHO McKenzie is far superior to Considine. But definitely feels like he’s on the move. Shame, as I’d love to watch him develop at Aberdeen.

    A lot of people on the hat are saying he’s going there.

    Hopefully he doesn’t and moves to England because that would be the 4th Aberdeen born player from the youth set up that’s went there.

    Whether he does or doesn’t, one thing is pretty clear. The younger generation of Aberdeen fans don’t hate the Huns as much as ours. Maybe it’s because of how funny they’ve been since 2012 but the same level of hate just isn’t there.

    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.

    I’ve been making sure my 8 year old loon has a dislike for them but even at his age he can see the bias they get from the officials so he’s naturally taking a dislike to them anyway.

    As far as the generation of the likes of Jack Wright and Barron goes I guess they would have grown up when we were absolute ****e in the 2000s so there probably wasn’t much interest in supporting Aberdeen from a lot of that generation.

    I can remember going to Pittodrie under the dark days of Patterson,McGhee etc and asking people I knew who had kids if they ever took them to the football and the response was usually that they were only interested in teams from the English premier league.

    My eldest is 29 and he started going around 2000 and there wasn't much to get excited about for them.
    When I think of some of the shyte fitba I subjected him to going too, it's a wonder he's not in therapy

    I was helping coach a kids team back then too and you never saw kids wearing Aberdeen tops, or very few. Loads of Hun tops, even kids whose parents I knew as good dandies were turning to the dark side back then.

    I even introduced a non cheeks top rule which caused outrage.

    Horrible times indeed.

    Great to see the kids get behind the club now and even better is that cheeky tops are nothing like as prevalent throughout the city as they once were.
