It saves geographical arguments.

Well yes. But it does just mean aberdonians feel inferior to a huge part of the country, and not just 'Glasgow' though

McCrorie should be getting turfed out of pittodrie, not given the captaincy! A few weeks ago he was cheering on the Huns on in Seville FFS!  What an absolute shambles… can’t recall a time that the club has been so out of touch with our supporters.

I think if the club based its decisions on a vocal minority of supporters then we would be in an even bigger mess than we currently are.

Well he couldn’t have as the cup final was in 1972 and mcleish didn’t start playing for us till the late 70s early eighties, point is since then there has a rake of Aberdeen players with Hun families, players sadly don’t get to control their relations, most folk in Scotland are  affiliated with either of the arse cheeks, that’s just the size of it if your born anywhere other than the north and even that it’s starting to infiltrate Aberdeen, (cove loving fucks), I cannot stand either of them especially the hun as they are everywhere down here, at least you have some solace in that, as a human are you going to sit here and argue that the club you play for (temporary say 4-5 years max) has more of a hold regardless of wages payed has a bigger swing than your actual family?, what if mcCrories father was dying and wanted his boys to join him to watch the football?, you telling me that shoe on the other foot you would tell your old man to fuck off?.or even if he wasn’t ill, you would take precedence on abandoning your family so not to upset fans that you couldn’t give 2 fucks about as he’s only here for the 4-5 years max and he’s  not from the Aberdeen  area?and why should he?. Would you?, folk born out with Aberdeen know the hatred shown by Aberdeen residents for the hun, quite rightly so, but to sit here and get faux angry at a ayrshireman hun going to the hun final(which won’t happen again anytime soon)with his hun dad and his hun brother who plays for the hun, while our player(the former hun player himself) went to the biggest game in their short clubs life? If you don’t want that tell our club to stop buying Huns then?, might be a solution, but don’t bitch when we trot out the likes of the youngs of this world and our team are shite, (and before you say about good dons players from Aberdeen, we don’t need them then ask yourself why all our best players from up there, McKenna, Ramsay, Fraser, Barron apparently not signing a new contract want to fuck off in the earliest opportunity going.)was it stupid of him getting seen supporting and jumping about watching the game, sure, but it’s the age of camera phones and he would have been seen now regardless, even if he wore a disguise in this day and age.

athletico Bilbao/sociodad have been successful for years only buying in basque players?, why has that not been introduced in this occasion?, just buy only Gaelic or Doric speaking players only, done. 

I never realised that John Aldridge was Basque. 

[aberdeen1970]

Never saw a single Hun top in Aberdeen for about six years from the start of the new club until Gerrard took over. 

They've started appearing a wee bit more recently again though. I saw a guy who must have been in his 40s wearing a full Hun jogging suit the other day. What a state.

An indicator to the type of person they are I suppose. It was hearing them using "we" after having no idea they were huns that got me.

Anyone ever been to Middlesbrough? 

Used to go regularly around 2003/4. Girl I was seeing who was from Aberdeen was at Middlesbrough Uni, so used to go down once a month to get my hole. 

And probably stir the porridge of many a Middlesbrough student. 

Shithole. 

Her flatmates were tidy as fuck though.

I'm not convinced subsidising Woods to be elsewhere and paying a different second choice keeper a wage is the best use of the budget when weve been so shit

Can’t have three keepers on decent wage’s, in a perfect situation Lewis and Woods would both leave without having contracts paid off and a new number 1 would come in with Ritchie as back up and playing cup games.

gives a wee indication why they abandoned it for a wee while but the natives never wanted it to happen, they would rather have been shite. But in history you do know that they have mostly only signed Basque players at the time. By the way he was the first non basque player signed in 40 years so does hold up to scrutiny

The way some of them on here behave when we sign players from Celtic or Rangers you would think they would rather we were shite too.

Gaelic? West coast shite, probably spoken in the main by huns

Eh. Its fucking huns that deride it. Of course there is also quite a few twats up here who indulge in that also, claiming absolute nonsense that they never spoke Gaelic here, which only exposes the full extent of their ignorance.

Chill oot Hamish it was a joke. Barely anyone speaks it here now that’s for sure, 58k Gaelic speakers in Scotland with vast majority Highlands and Islands (west coast)

Somebody posted the exact same thing on twitter. Is that where your mate saw it?

Also on twitter it's suggested that the new kit has been delayed and won't be available until into next season and we'll start next season with last season's kit. 

Wouldn't believe a word of it. 

The club will announce when players have signed. It seems rather evident we are concentrating our efforts on looking abroad right now. This takes time.

[AyrshireSheep]

Millwall have bid £1.5m for Ferguson. Double it and we'll talk. I suspect though the club would deal at around £2-2.5m with a hefty sell on.

Apologies.. already posted.  Would be a strange move for him imo.

Heard 5-7 players next week so surely can get 2 or 3

But probably has some appeal if you're a Hun
