Just seeing those fixtures makes me realise the struggles and shite that is coming our way again... I haven't been so unenthusiastic since Craig Brown was in charge. Cormack has done the exact opposite of what he promised to do. The match day experience is going to be diehards and seagulls I think. Diehards and Seagulls: A potted history of 21st Century Aberdeen F.C by Bogbrush1903 Available soon at all good retailers. I know that I’m always slightly too optimistic, but could you, and folk on here, wait and see what our squad looks like at the start of league season before going totally doom and gloom. No one on here has any idea which players we’ll have in our squad at the end of July. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon99 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Just seen that Callum Hendry has signed for Salford. Didn't even know he was a free agent and he'll probably have been offered more money down there but I'd like to think we were at least enquiring about him. Seems like exactly the type of player we could have used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just nervous because I expected, and we were told by Goodwin, that deals would be done by now. That could mean that the initial targets identified have rejected our advances. However, just because I'm gloomy now doesn't mean I won't be positive next week. And I'm still looking forward to the League Cup group matches so I will be more excited once the action starts up again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we all expected to see some more signings in by now, but that doesn’t mean to say that we won’t by the end of July. If we don’t by then, then feel free to be all doomy and gloomy. Personally I think that not qualifying for Europe is costing us signings that would have come here if there had been that carrot to dangle, no matter how short our European journey may have been. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ApathyAFC Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 On RTG one-off them interviewed a guy who knows tobys game well and worrying what he said that sticks in my mind is he can't beat a man and he can sometimes struggle with the easy goals' tap ins etc. He's also in & out odds starting 11 a lot due to injury and lack of goals/confidence. Look he may turn out to be good but for potentially 500k-600k it's a bit pricey, if it was between him and bojan I'd go the latter all day. But both will be good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never had a world cup in the middle of a season and it seemed strange that we are restarting it before the end of the tournament. The whole scenario is strange to be honest. It wasn't who we were playing, it was the fact we were playing at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember the result or much of the game but the shenanigans off the pitch were a site to behold. There must have been about 500 boys in Pringle jumpers, wedge haircuts and adidas trainers knocking 7 shades of shite out of each other. Sounds like some real brain donors. What a sight indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad didn't know anything about fitba but I was obsessed about The Dons so he took me down not knowing that Easter Road was a bit of a powder keg in those days Strangely, I remember on the way down the news announcing that the young lad Ben Hardwick, which That's Life had publicised his plight, had passed away. I remember it was a bit tasty outside and I believe it was the Raymond Morrell match so the atmosphere soured as the game went on and rumours circulated that he had died (I only found this out a couple of years ago). I didn't go to my second Aberdeen away until Albion Rovers at Fir Park in 1989. The Fall were class. I seen them/him nine times but only for the first time in 1997 when the drink had already sunk its claws in deep. I would've loved to have see The Fall in 1984-1986 period.

Aye the Raymond day remember it well . funny looking back to that song about Raymond .99 red balloons . Oh I did love Nena . I was was in contact with Raymond last year such great lad who helped raise bit money for a ex ASC lad and great trade union member .who we sadly lost . Your right The Fall we’re class and we’re still banging even a decade ago . Never knew what you were going get with the legend . Mark E Smith never be another like him. Mind bumping into him on princess street which was bizarre. Didn’t know he moved there . Think he stayed in Edinburgh couple years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
