StandFree1982 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 No surprises there. Probably a good thing, keeps players like Low, Smith etc injury free for Saturday. Link to comment
dave_min Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Todays game v St Mirren at Peterheid has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch . They should put a retractable roof on Balmoor, this happens all too often. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 They should put a retractable roof on Balmoor, this happens all too often. I disagree. It's very rare we play St Mirren Under 20's at Balmoor. It's an awful expense just so we can play St Mirren. Surely the roof could be used for other matches as well? Link to comment

Surely the roof could be used for other matches as well? But if it's used for non-St Mirren matches, there's a danger that it could get worn out. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 What about a transferable roof that can be taken to any home or away game? Link to comment
The Boofon Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 What about a transferable roof that can be taken to any home or away game? No point in that. The transfer window slams shut in a couple of days. It'll piss with rain until May. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 He was on loan first half of season. Expired in January. Has been involved in first team since then but only once made it onto the bench. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 5 players binned from U20's Aberdeen FC can this afternoon confirm that five members of our Under 20 squad are to leave the club this summer.Goalkeeper Craig Burns, defender Scott Rumsby, who spent last season on loan at Stranraer, midfielder Stephen O'Neill, who played with both Peterhead and East Fife during season 2013/14, as well as Matthew McMahon and striker Alan O'Sullivan, are all departing.Meanwhile, a number of players have signed contract extensions with Aberdeen FC.Kieran Gibbons, Michael Rose and Marcus Campanile have all put pen to paper on a 1 year extension.Craig Murray has also penned a one year deal and will be looking to play his way in to Derek McInnes' first team squad next season.

fine-n-dandy Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Didn't see the point in starting a new thread, so thought I'd slip this into this one. I may be totally misunderstanding this (quite likely) but does this not just fuck over clubs like ourselves with decent youth systems in place & allow cunts to just come in & nick our decent young talent for fk all.So effectively the huns (for example) could save money by scaling down, or doing away with their youth system & just go on the rob of all the best talent in the Country for minimal costs? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-27467443 This is a backward step. We want BETTER compensation for when we get our young players (want to see some puppies son?) enticed away by richer clubs Link to comment

The rangers youth coach Jim Sinclair is all for it. The claim was backed at a previous meeting of the petitions committee by Rangers youth coach Jim Sinclair, who said: "In our experience, the whole thing can turn into a transfer market or end up in a bartering situation if, despite the fact that the level of compensation is actually X, the club with the player demands X plus Y."

Sma shellshocked!Never seen a single U19's game so cannot comment really but the one that I've read all the best reports about is Craig Murray & I cannot understand how he's struggled to get games in his natural position ahead of the likes of Shaughnessy & Hector. Fair enough Logan (he's a RB) but I understand he's had a few injuries. Link to comment

Fair enough Logan (he's a RB) but I understand he's had a few injuries.He's very slight. Technically, he's a very good footballer. Reads the game well and utilises his pace. I do think he's better than Robertson. The FB who I thought would have made more of a push is McKenna, seems to have something McInnes likes as well. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Also, U20s.I believe it is U19's.The thread is wrongly titled but U20's is essentially correct also I suppose Link to comment

It would appear that this gentleman who used to play for us may be joining in a youth coaching capacity having previously done this for Nottingham Forest. Link to comment
