i do not know of this Dee team personally, never seen them play so cant judge however from the people I speak to they seem to be getting a lot of attention and praise before a ball has even been kicked, are some people forgetting this is amateur football? When I played you saw playing against upsatrts like this as a challenge to shut them up and put them back in their place, doesnt matter how good they are or who they have signed, they are going into a higher division against some well established clubs, as with any club who have had it their own way for 2-3 years we will see how good theya re when the luck starts elluding them and the margins become finer. Easy to keep a team motivated when you win every week but test of a true team is when you are in adversity and you need to battle back from it. Ambition is fine but people, perhaps just supporters and friends, not those connected saying they will win the league are just writing the team talks for the opposition.......

Very valid points, I've never said they'll win the league, they'll find it tough ofcourse but they have the makings of a cracking side capable of doing anything.

I hate pre-season

[diamondsr4ever]

weve had 3 hard hard sessions, 4th tomorrow night.....we have 5 games lined up, im astounded at how good the fitness levels are this season, the boys have done well pre-pre season....

[ollie1903]

my pal that played for them is going to Hillhead I think

Can't be very good then, is he?

[beachender65]

is 5 Friendlies not a bit OTT?

[diamondsr4ever]

I wouldnt say so, we normally have 4, but 5 it is....we will have 7 sessions leading up to our 1st game next Saturday.

[diamondsr4ever]

Any amount of friendlies in this day and age with how shite amateur game has become in Aberdeen is ridiculous.

 

She needs facelift and have some association members removed.

 

Referees as well, I know there is a lack of referees but fuck me - some of them are just wanting to make names for themselves and they also hate a good amount of teams (bullied by certain players at school) so it's payback, proper disgrace at times.

 

Take up golf, no one bothers you on a course barring oyster catchers from time to time, but I like the danger of that.

 

not sure why the quality makes a difference to pre-season games, at any level...not sure fit ye mean Roberto.

 

when you talk about referees, making a name for themselves is what they do, they thrive on that, at every level, most of them anyway, and their reports for sending's off are normally a fabrication of the truth to suit their own agenda, I think a revamp is required, with less cup games and the removal of the North of Scotland which now is just another normal cup these days.

[diamondsr4ever]

of course I take it seriously, why wouldnt I? its 5 games nae 7.....

 

you know Dave Askew?....we signed him so your statement is wrong, Mikey Reid who is wanted by several junior clubs....Michael Ord, 31, ex Cove Rangers a few seaons back 45 goals in the last 3 seasons, all Junior players by a country mile and I could name some more, most drop a level due to family, work commitments these days and the standard is very good at some clubs, with some excellent players....to say otherwise is just daft.

 

If anything the Junior level in Aberdeen has dropped in recent years in the lower leagues as it has in Amateurs.

 

you need match fitness, your just being silly now, you should ken that, unless yer fishing, or been out for a beer with Jimmy Calderwood.

 

Im sure after aboot 6 rounds of golf, fan yer bored, you'll be looking to take yer lazy arse to something else that helps with yer diluted attention span.....probably the pub.

[diamondsr4ever]

Im glad you took the bait....hook, line and sinker Roberto!

 

enjoy yer golf season, let us know how you get on with yer handicap.

[diamondsr4ever]

Now you've turned to a more relaxed sport, have you ordered your Lyle and Scott jumper yet?

 

Has the Mrs mentioned the weight gain since your 4th official retirement from the wonderful game?

[diamondsr4ever]

Pringle, probably better than diamonds, its more slimming.

 

ach min, Ive never seen you, just heard you were putting some timber on, mentioned at some girlie night oot

 

a 5 hour walk every weekend will help with that though. you'll be back to yer slim self in no time...

[snoyl]

The amount of work most managers put in its very hard not to take it serious to an extent.

 

I don't think players realise how much organisation, planning and time it takes up.

It's only now that I understand from making the change.

 

How much are you're guys league/cup fees? Think we are £380 in Edinburgh.

[diamondsr4ever]

Snoyl, no idea what the costs are these days for fee's, we dont enter the scottish cup due to costs and the stupid rule of having to play your tie even if its called of weel/week in the winter.

^{Ebbe - what was Woodside like to play for in the sticks?}

[bruceg1978]

Roberto. I don't agree with your view that the standard has dropped from a few years ago. How many years ago you speaking about? I have been involved in a,auteur fitba now for 17 years and yes their has has been great teams over the years such as Hilton, Kincorth, Echt and Sunnybank but during that great eras. There was also some crap playing them too. Their is loads of great players in the amateur leagues every year who could quite easily walk into top junior sides and HL sides in my opinion but choose not too for a number of reasons. Work and family commitments mainly.

[slippers]

We had our first friendly against Deveronvale last night! They are a quality side but I felt we put a decent shift in even if we did lose 5-0.

name dropping sounds an awful lot like favouritism to me.............Just shows that whatever club you are at, whatever level you are at the management always have their golden boys............

every team have players that are onthe team sheet without hesitation....its a simple reality of the game, its nowt to do with golden boys.

spot on....

[Tommy]

Bruce, amateur fitba has never been the same since I retired.

Every cloud then

Rothie?

[diamondsr4ever]

Roberto,

 

you are a boring sod are ye!

 

stick to golf, as you ken feck all aboot fitba.

[slippers]

Rothie?

Yeah! We were never going to win the game but it was a good workout for us!

[diamondsr4ever]

slippers, thank god we missed you in the league, a trip away to you boys isnt great, though the pie shop was great! and we always get Mr Coutts as the ref!

[diamondsr4ever]

you'd be suprised fit I know about you Roberto! I just dinna bang on about what people think of you, I respect their opinions and keep them to myself.

 

unless I bump into you on the golf course or weight watchers then I doubt we will meet.

 

say hello to the Mrs for me!

[diamondsr4ever]

Close enough...as I said you'd be suprised.

 

Cheers, as you know, it can be hard to lose it.

[diamondsr4ever]

Youve came onto this thread spikin pish about a subject you know little or nothing about, you...are a stero typical run of the mill amateur player, you think you want to get back into the game after a promising season when you were 17, you turn up, canna be arsed, slag off the leagues, those involved, those who have the commitment, when the reality is, you just dont have the stomach for it ( pardon the pun)

 

you probably just dont have it anymore, if you had it at all? thats what being lazy does to you.....hey its happened to the best of us, some become frustrated amateur managers, some just go and put the hard work in and play till there in their late 30's....some take up golf..

 

So to sum it up, the leagues arent as bad as you'd like to think, maybe there not as good as they once were, but you wewre probably playing under 16's when they were...... and there are plenty players still kicking a ba that you couldnt wouldnt get near to in ability wise, many of them you know and know you, you do your mates a diservice in your uneducated opinions of players in Amateur fitba.

 

stick to golf, as your commitment and opinions are best served over a mixed grill and 3 pints after 18 holes.

[diamondsr4ever]

You keep commenting tubby...

 

You know nothing about me, but will pretend you do probably from folk who've spoken to me twice or went to school with. They know very little about me these days also.

 

So tubby, keep it coming.

 

[ebbe]

^{Ebbe - what was Woodside like to play for in the sticks?}

 

I doubt you'd find a better team and bunch of boys.
