Derek McInnes

[RED_JOHN]

If he gets a 4 year deal it will be a travesty. We won’t be equipped over that time to win trophies....plain and simple!

[Mason89]

Whether you like him or not, he should be drinking in the last chance saloon. There should be a bit of pressure on him to sort the squad out one last time. What does the f*cking idiot in charge do? Offer him a 4 year deal which could potentially cost us a fortune to get out of because as even the happiest of clappies has realised, no other side wants him.

Rubbish, we're a challenger brand don't you know.

4 years of no season ticket it is then

Bring on the obscure Scottish grounds

Fair play.
It can be good to take in a neutral game, especially if the team you support are not playing or you find yourself in a location that offers the chance of a different game.
I don’t really get opting for football tourism as a choice against supporting your main team though to be honest.

Have to say a 4 year deal for McInnes is bordering on ridiculous but not at all surprising.

A lot of people have been kidding themselves that his job was under threat but what they don’t realise is Stewart Milne doesn’t give a flying fvck what we want,especially fans who just post on an forum.

I am not being negative against the club by chucking its more things change I guess. There are a few reasons. One, I really haven't enjoyed a second of this season, two I don't like the manager and his approach to games and we are regressing, three with the wee man now following me a lot and asking to go to games and loving it. the 400ish quid will be more to go to Pittodrie but also he likes "little games". By this where he can take his ball in , where old mannies speak to him, where everyone speaks to him really. where its more personal pretty much. then when they are on a Saturday its a full father son day out with a point of interest in the morning lunch/picnic then a game. He loves it. I cant do that with him every weekend for two reasons. So I have to weigh things up. That little boy is far more important than AFC. He also said when I left him on Wednesday "can we go to heaps of little games when you are back"

The worst thing I did was start watching neutral football as I started to enjoy fitba a lot more when I didn't give a f@ck about the outcome. I went to 15 games last month home and it was amazing and the entertainment value was top notch (barring Coupar Angus)

Lochee United 1-3 East Craigie (one of the biggest upsets in Junior fitba this season)
Carlisle United 1-0 Lincoln City (Carlisle pissed on Lincolns winning the league, won it in the end)
Ayr United 1 - 3 Ross County
Auchinleck Talbot 6-0 Carluke Rovers (Got to witness what a fantastic club AT are from top to bottom)
NEC Nijmegen 2 v 1 RKC Waalwijk
Heerenveen 2 v 2 VVV (Heerenveen chucked a daft last minute equalizer)
PEC Zwolle 1 v 2 Groningen (abandoned due to lightning)
Pollok 4 - 0 Clydebank
Forfar West End 4 v 4 Tayport Best game I have seen this season and Tayport went up 3-2 in the 90th minute, great viewing)
Twente 2 v 2 Cambuur (Twentes title party ruined as Cambuur scored two after 90 mins, three actually but the other was wrongfully chopped off)
Rot Weiss Oberhausen 1-1 Rot Weiss Essen (Got caught up in running street battles and a hail of bottles at train station, wrongfully detained by police for two hours)
Downfield 0-4 Broughty Athletic (biggest capitulation ive ever seen. Broughty score all 4 in 3 mins)
Blairgowrie 3-4 Forfar West End
Shotts Bon Accord 3-4 Blantyre Victoria (Shotts blew the league)
Coupar Angus 0-1 Forfar Albion (Two of the three worst junior team in Scotland doing battle for a laugh)


More enjoyment in 5 weeks than I have in a couple of seasons watching Aberdeen. Wee man was at 6 of them. 62 goals in 14 and a bit games is f@cking decent.

So with things changing for the first time in 30 years I have totally drifted away from Pittodrie. But in a good way as my hobby is tying in with my son. Whats not to like

[xtrmntr75]

I’m totally with Mason on this one. Don’t mind Deek at all and respect what he’s achieved but, to quote Orange James, he’s reached his shelf life. Four years is a step back to the excess of the 90s

Save the best to last, there's absolutely no better thing than creating a great bond with your children.
Hats off to you for that.
You're correct in that they come before AFC, before anything in my opinion and I will always applaud any parent who devotes time to their children.
Far too many waste the time and they've grown up before you know it.
