Gavin Rae

[barassie_afc]

On Radio Scotland, we have made contact

[Dandyesque]

I hope it's just for a 12 month deal to see how his body holds up.

[Tord31]

Rae willing to consider move to aberdeen according to the radio

[OddJob]

Rae willing to consider move to aberdeen according to the radio

Willing to consider? f**king hell min are you waiting for Barca to give you a call like?

[Jazzer_Bett]

Apart from sounding a bit thick, he was also non commital about coming to us.He is also expressed that wages would be a large part of his decision.

 

Sorry Gavin but at your age this is a bloody good move that doesn't require much thought.

 

So if he's going to fanny about and act billy big time i'd rather take in Ozzy Osbourne, a hungry lad at the right age - with something to prove.

[robbojunior]

i know gav personally, played in same school team as him, but have lost touch so cannie give any inside info.

 

all i can say however, is that the boy is a dons fan and unless we're offering him a pittance, i reckon he will sign for us. just my opinion though. not spoken to him

[vanderark14]

I've heard he's going to Australia

 

 

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but Rae had pre-contract signed with Australian A-League team.......

 

However he's set to turn that down and will sign contract with Aberdeen.

 

He'll be our first signing.

 

[vanderark14]

I didn't see your post, I mostly keep out of player threads who are linked unless I have useful info.

 

You heard correct. He had been over and Sydney were wanting him and they'd agreed contract, but he's not going - he will be at Aberdeen due to family reasons.

 

I know this to be 100% true.

 

I'm not disappointed by this.

 

don't know what to think about the possibility of Gavin Rae coming here. We've been f**ked before by "experienced" players coming to us that have turned out to be pretty much useless. Hopefully this isn;t another Hartley or Macnamara

[King Street Loon]

If true, I'll be happy with this signing.

 

Good pro.

 

I imagine his missus is from Aberdeen too??

So she'd be happy coming home. Dunno

[dazzy_deff]

Roberto that's a load of sh*te about oz. Source is his dad. No deal agreed with any side over there. His wife is australian so he wants to emigrate there eventually.

[Sonoftherock]

Roberto that's a load of sh*te about oz. Source is his dad.

 

 

Ach, it was a good story all the same!

[tup]

Gavin Rae is a

 

's emigrate to Australia in their twilight years.

 

It's a retirement ground for bitter old huns, so I can see why it appeals.

[ollie1903]

i always thought gavin rae had the look about him of someone with very, very moderate downs syndrome

 

anyone think thats possible?

You're a prick

Jamie Fraser was the best Glashie/Oldmachar player of that time :thumbs:

Do you know him?

 

What makes you think he is a hun?

[Tommy]

Ex Glentanar juveniles.

 

Taught well there.

[tup]

Do you know him?

 

What makes you think he is a hun?

 

Of course I don't know him.

 

I dinna associate with huns.

 

He played for Glasgow Rangers, ergo, he's a hun

[Crossbow]

Of course I don't know him.

So did Fergie and Bett. There are people who played for the huns and there are huns who played for the huns.

[Tommy]

I played for Glentanar for a few games.

 

You weren't there though.

 

 

 

There were a lot of Bod n Oldmachar lads played there and i think Jinx

ended up there after he left ladser.

[tup]

So did Fergie and Bett. There are people who played for the huns and there are huns who played for the huns.

 

Depends how switched on you are. Fergie played for them, and this fostered a hatred for their values, as they gave him grief for his wife's religion, which he later used to great effect in management. And he turned the bigoted institution down flat when they offered him the job.

 

Bett was so laconic he probably didna need to think. He also played for Rangers when they were totally sh*te, and a move to Aberdeen was, rightly, seen as a step up in class in those days.

 

I don't have an issue with Rae being a hun. Stevie Tosh did well here and he was a hun to the core. As long as they keep their trap shut about it I'm easy.

Jimmer, good player in his day.

Then why the (very ill informed I may add, as Gavin Rae is very much an Aberdeen fan) comment previously about someone you do not know? Or do you just have to have a say on the matter

Jimmer, good player in his day.

Great guy, good player 'til he turned into a bum!

I'm not sure I buy into the - any player who plays for the govan unwashed is a hun - as I'm under the impression that Rae was/is a dandy - but there are people here who know far more about it than I.

[tup]

That's the attitude of a hun

Attitude of a hun indeed. Elaborate.

 

Aye I get it, you know him, you've said that several times now. I dinna want to know football players. They're invariably poor company. Roberto also kens him, not that I'm casting aspersions about the dubious company he keeps. Tell him he's a hun from me.

 

I've already said he's a good player. That's all I care about, if he does well for the Dons.

 

Then I'm sure we can all overlook/sweep under the carpet the hun-ness.

[brownie]

And he turned the bigoted institution down flat when they offered him the job.

 

Which time ?

 

He certainly didn't turn them down flat on one of the occasions.

By your all round, ridiculous generalisation that everyone who has played for them must be one. But you backtracked quickly by saying you had no issue with Rae as you obviously realised how silly the comment was, so i'll sweep it under the carpet also.

 

Have I?

[tup]

Aye, at least twice.

 

Anyway, I don't have an issue with Rangers players moving to Aberdeen, provided they have not stuck the boot into us when there. So I'm sure Rae is fine, he never really got caught up the kind of stuff Foster has been giving out on a weekly basis.

Have I. I must have missed that.

[Henry]

Really? I've been out with a few lads who play football, one no longer than a week ago who plays for Preston.

 

I've not laughed so much in a very long time. Cracking company, and down to earth also.

 

[tup]

Do you know him?

 

What makes you think he is a hun?

 

Gavin Rae is very much an Aberdeen fan

 

I dinna normally go to all this bother to prove a point so count yourself privileged.

 

You never outright said it, but the inference is there, loud and clear.

[tup]

Can anyone tell me what 'soz' means?
