Think Alex mcleish and maybe even Gordon Strachan will be further up Aberdeen's wishlist than Jack Ross, should mcinnes head for ibrox. I'd be very surprised if we're on the hunt for a new manager any time soon.

Could be doing with stopping his ' show your appreciation ' pish at every substitution. Apart from that he's sound
-
Easy win for the saints and back to the top of the pile as United and dunfermline play out a score draw
-
Aye put the feelers out the now and tell anyone who will listen that the first team to come up with, 500k and an agreement to loan him back to us for the rest of the season and he's theirs.
Everyones a winner

3-1 the buds, Reilly, Morgan and Stelios with our goals
-
Aye yer right, we should just give up the now and expect to get pumped every week

The most important thing for us in this game is to avoid injuries and suspensions. Another big injury to a first eleven player is the last thing we need. The Falkirk game next week is crucial for the football club, this one isn't.
This league cup campaign has been a failure regardless of today's result. Write it off and move on to the league.Agree with most of this but think this game can still be quite important to us.
Granted, the result however it goes changes nothing as far as this competition goes but a decent performance and win should instill a bit of confidence in the team after the last 2 poor results. Last thing we need is to be going into the Falkirk game with our heads down.
Its also a chance to see who's actually up for it and who wants to step up after last week's shocker.
We've no doubt been working on a few of things in training so it's another chance to put them to the test as well before the real stuff starts.
Damp squib yes but not a totally pointless exercise.
Fully expect us to put in a performance and get a decent win giving us all a wee lift before Falkirk next week.

There was 11 hopeless performances in that starting side yesterday and you choose to highlight the young guy who was only brought into the team as cover because of suspensions. He was far from the worst player in the side, Gavin Reilly and Ian Mcshane are experienced players and both were horrendous yesterday, I'd be alot more worried about them than a young boy who's trying to kick start a career in football.

I forgot he was lex, he adopted the menacing avatar of Alex from A Clockwork Orange. I suspect he is somewhat less menacing than that in person.
Probably a fat Virgin with nothing better to do with his time

Been to stair Park once, game was abandoned at ht from what I remember, must of been easily 20 year ago. Probably my earliest memory of an away game. Unless the b&q cup final at fir Park was before it.
Anyhow, enough of the reminiscing pish, easy victory for the buddies to kick off the season.
-
Great to have him back for next season.
He should start every week in my opinion. He's a goal threat from left back and creates chances from right back. I see why jack went with Irvine and Eckersley mostly but think that was more to do with where we were in the league at the time. We're not starting the season from playing catch up and can afford to take chances right from the off whereas losing an early goal in any game towards the end of the season wasn't a risk worth taking considering the position we were in.
Throw caution to the wind this season and blow teams away and we'll hopefully be celebrating a title win.

If the Thistle story is true then he will sign for them as money will be better there plush he is playing at a higher level being put in the shop window better than the championship so my knickers are in a twist. Great player.
What was that song being sung towards the end of last season
'que sera sera' that will be the end of that then.
They guys been out the country since the season finished, considering is for a family wedding I'd say it was already pre planned, do you honestly expect him to cut short a trip home just to appease a few folk on here moaning he's not signed yet?

Is that over the phone from Cyprus, where he rush off to, to prepare for his brother's wedding.
Also where he has still not returned home from. Alot of people getting their knickers in a twist because he's not signed a new deal yet, he's away enjoying himself, why rush back when he's got weeks before he needs to be back here.

Give members their membership fees back, open it up to everyone.

What a shower of greeting faced c***s, it's a pre season friendly against an englishb championship side, a level way above anything we will face in the league this season. Get a grip of yourselves fs

I like they way hibs have went about this, not saying anything on it til it was a done deal subject to medical, quite respectful to our board and our fans. Maybe if Sevco had went about the whole Scott Allan situation in the same way it might have worked out differently instead of the 'we want him so we're having him' attitude. Twos up the cunts anyway.
As for John McGinn, hope he goes on to have a decent career, whether he rediscovers his early promise at hibs is debatable but the boys done us a turn last few year (last season maybe not so much) so best of luck to him.

About 40 quid a square metre for a decent grade with a bit of length, your type 1 and sand shouldn't cost too much, like some1 has said you'd be best to get someone who knows what they are doing if your looking for a nice flat finished surface.

Was it not Saunders who done Thomas reilly at fir Park a few years ago after the wee man scored the equaliser in a 1 each draw.

How many other teams can say they have 6 or 7 of their youth academy playing in the first team every week, the emergence of these players is the only positive we can take from this season, we can hardly blame these boys for getting us relegated, they've come in and done a job when the truth is they probably shouldn't of been used as much as they have been this season.
is that David Longwells fault??? Don't think so, if anyone is to blame it's the Diddy who signed all the duds that we've seen try and fail in a st mirren jersey this season.
Kenny McLean, where did he come from? Released from pro youth and back playing boys club football down the public parks, who went out and brought him to the club? David Longwel, John McGinn, 18 year old who bossed a 12 million pound Victor wanyama in the league cup final, where did he come from? Part of the youth academy Under David Longwells guidance since he was 8 years old. Jason Naismith and Shaun kelly last season, carrying it into this season and now Stevie Mallan and Jack Baird this season,
With the exception of hearts last season there is not 1 other team in scotland who can say they are producing as many young players as St mirren are, any1 wanting shot of David Longwell really must be daft, the guy would walk into another job within days of he were to leave St mirren.

Was part of a consortium a few years back that had talks to buy the club, deal broke down when he was offered the forest job for the second time and he took it.
Apparently when he was back at forest he refused to sign any player that wasn't represented by his Bro, showed an interest then expected them to change representation to get their move, fell out with alot of people due to this and was eventually sacked
-
Yoann arquin had more of the ball and won more headers on his first 10 mins on the park than Thompson had all game, can't decide if it's lack of interest or he's just totally f**ked.
James dayton atleast looked like he was willing to take a player on and have a go, why he was taking off i'll never know
Sean Kelly was hopeless, tess and naismith not much better
Mcginn, mallan and gow tried atleast
No idea why Ridgers stayed on his line at first goal
Goodwin and genev were our best 2 players although that wouldn't be hard
Sitting trying to come up with anything to make myself believe we have a chance of staying up but I've got nothing, the games a bogey I'm afraid and it's going to be a long and bumpy ride
-
If going 4 points adrift at the foot of the table isn't enough to cause a reaction and performance from the players then nothing will, time to step up and show they are up for this scrap!!

Politicians are all lying bastards, it doesn't matter what they say just now it's what they do after the election that counts

His company HPL used to sponsor the Paisley and District AFL so atkeast he has a background in 'proper fitba'
The Jack Ross and James Fowler Appreciation Thread

I just can't see the dons board going for Jack Ross.
This is probably the first time in well over a decade that Aberdeen have actually had a successful manager. Brown, skovdahl, mcghee, and whoever else has managed them in the last 15 or 20 years haven't done very well and been punted after a season or 2.
If Mcinnes leaves, he's leaving them in a far better state than any other time they've been looking for a new manager so the job will look a far better prospect to other managers out there just now than it was any other time they've been on the hunt in the last 20 years.
I think the Calibre of candidate applying will be even greater than it has been and although jacks done a cracking job so far I don't think he comes close to some of the guys out there at the minute.
With Aberdeen receiving compensation as well it allows then not to go for a cheap option or even someone already out of work, Tommy Wright is probably even a better option than jack is just now, purely based on experience of the league and the fact he's won a Scottish Cup
