Illgresi Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I grew up in the west coast (nearest club Dumbarton by road, Morton as the crow flies), my old man is from Aberdeen. Given that he and my old dear were separated as long as I can remember, he did an excellent job in raising me as a Dons fan. It would have been so easy for me to slip into supporting one of the filth, but none-the-less, here I am a long term Pittodrie season ticket holder. I grew up with Aberdeen being mostly awful. I have some recollections of Gillhaus being exceptional, and Jess being my childhood idol. Mostly I remember Ben Thornley failing to beat the first man, Nicky Walker being horrific vs Brondby (and the fans singing about bacon), and doing the conga at Almondvale while we were getting pumped. I distinctly remember the day that my dad took me to Fir Park (Thistle are his little team from his days working in Glasgow), when the blue bigots beat us at Ibrox to win the league in 1991. I was in Athens, Madrid, and Munich. I was directly behind Severin when he pinged in that belter the first time we beat the filth in a hundred ought years. All those shit times, with the odd inflection of joy, have been worth it though. We're a club that is sustainable, on an upward trajectory, and most importantly Standing Free. I love my club, and I love every one of you that wears our proud two stars. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect Tansey to go out on loan to a championship team if he cant find a top flight team by the end of the week. Another winger/wide forward IN the way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another winger/wide forward IN the way Can't see any championship team take a chance of Tansey especially with all the groin injuries he has had in the last 8 months - the only way they will be willing to take him if we pay his wages in full. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naegoodinthedark Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Greg Stewart signed for Killie. Absolutely guaranteed to score on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Good signing for them I think. He had ability in there, just didn't show it enough and some of his decision making let him down. I think in the right team he has the potential to be a good player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Had to turn off notifications for whenever the club tweeted. It was doing nothing but causing irrational anger whenever they tweeted anything that wasn't a signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it was the fitness or we just couldn't find a role for him that suited. As said above, guaranteed scorer for the weekend if he plays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Pep. Always a pleasure. Wtf is this pish. You got proven to not have a clue what you're talking about champ, and I was proven 100% correct. Getting all arsey won't deflect from that. Shut it next time you might learn something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
