    Despite what is at stake, I simply cannot wish that lot any luck. 

    G'wan the Saints. Means we have to beat the other lot too (makes it interesting). 

    Thank you. 

     

    Watching the end of the Dons/Celtic game the other day, despite what a Celtic win meant for 5th place, I still found myself wanting Aberdeen to win.

    It's just impossible to root for them on any level.

    The COVID loan is 20 year interest free. All but 2 clubs (I think) used the covid loan and all took out different loan amounts. We could literally pay it back over 20 years at as low as 100k+. 

    We have changed our model and its having a positive effect.

    I think there was something about us electing to pay it back as a lump sum, though I read that on here so could be bollocks.

    If it's interest free I can't understand why we'd choose that option.

    Can you explain that post? Can't see that here at all.

    Third post in, in response to a clearly glib remark about it being a hipster appointment. A few posts then follow, arguing against something that nobody except Aberdeen fans mentioned in this thread.

    If constant discussion about the same old candidates is frustrating, then probably easier not to keep mentioning them. 🤷‍♂️

    I'd also argue that the only non-Dons fans who've suggested your club employs the likes of those mentioned are absolutely at it, and only want to see your revolving door kept busy.

    I absolutely don't hope Thelin is a success for you, but at least you've tried to do something different.

    I'd get this article up on the changing room wall before the Rangers games. Especially this bit.

    They've chosen us as the easiest away game for Rangers. It would be brilliant if we rolled them over.

    While it's mildly insulting, it's also true.

    We can earn the right to not be talked about like that by scoring more than one goal against either of the top two across an entire season.

    However, it may have to be played as a mud wrestling match on their marshland.

    That's the game we most need to win.

    Picking three for that, I'd go Gogic, Olusanya and possibly Bolton. Taylor on the bench. Hemming has got the height but I don't think he's got the pure strength you'd need for mud wrestling.

    Agreed.

    Not sure if Dundee are due 3 away games, but if they are, hopefully the league will keep it simple and just send them to us for a third time.

    Don’t want us to have to go to them and the league send Rangers to us for a third time. 

    It'll probably end up getting played at our place anyway.

    If we can get Strain playing for the final games it would be a huge bonus. He really is a class act. I wouldnt risk him this weekend though. 

    Olusanya is getting better and better. Glad we have him for next season. 

    I didnt expect to be saying that. His turn around is verging on Curtis Main 

    I'd say the turnaround beats Main. Main was a waste of a jersey while he was injured, but his pedigree suggests plenty of managers have seen a footballer in there. His turnaround was remarkable but felt about right given his relationship with Robbo.

    Olusanya was literally going to get the boot and that was almost certainly that for him as a pro footballer. He screwed the nut, listened to the advice, and has become a starting forward for us. He'll never get to the highest level - I think we're the best club he'll play for regularly - but you've got to admire the boy's attitude.
