Ke1t Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 5 minutes ago, Zeus said: Good Is it, though? Pittodrie is a relic from another era... it was built in the last days of the 19th Century, and here we are a quarter the way through the 21st. I'm as nostalgic as the next (ex)-Aberdonian, but the only good thing about Pittodrie is the flourishing mould garden on the roof of the Main Stand. 1 Link to comment

Needs a loan and should've been granted one in January. Add him to the list of players mismanaged by the club. His first mins in months. He is still training. You don't lose the ability to control a ball, tackle, run and generally know how to play fitba by not playing regularly. He is terrible. 4 Link to comment

He's probably better than Yogi or Lennon, but is he the real deal or another Ebbe? Bless Ebbe, he was a likeable character but an abysmal Aberdeen manager, despite being brilliant in Denmark. Ebbe felt hamstrung by the inability for his ethos to be embraced. The recruitment clearly didn’t help but the 433 style he wanted just didn’t fit with who we had. Which says a lot about who we had. Some great individuals but the defense was a catastrophe. Jimmy The Swede will need time and it’s not going to plain sailing. Link to comment

No financial route to redeveloping Pittodrie and having something that makes a difference to us. It’s been the reality since the late nineties. I remember seeing the plans for the doomed Euro 2008 stadium in 2000 and they certainly knew it then. Nearly 25 years later and the numbers still point to a fresh build. Can’t say that fills my heart with joy in the slightest but it is what it is. Doesn’t change the Everest sized mountain that needs climbing to build the new Ewellevi. Link to comment

Jimmy The Swede will need time and it’s not going to plain sailing. Ebbe thought enough of the players he had to put them on ridiculous contracts, though. His spell at the club is part of the reason we brought in a spiralling alcoholic to rescue the situation... another terrific decision by Stupid Decisions™ FC. We're skint because we let this guy, and the 3 guys before him... two of whom weren't even real managers, and the other was a mediocre manager at best (another great bunch of decisions)... spend all our money. And now we need YOU, barely functioning alcoholic with a major gambling addiction... we need YOU to build a team of first division journeymen to compete in the top league and save us from bankruptcy... because when your club is on the verge of extinction you want to put it in the safe hands of an unreliable drunk. Anyway... it sounds a lot worse when you say it out loud. Ebe, though, I feel he was at least as much at fault as the spoons who hired him and gave him free reign with dwindling resources. And then he fucked off with a, "Sorry. That's me. Still, eh?" Link to comment

Another piece of abject stupidity from Shinnie, to match getting carded for dissent against Killie and Bonnyrigg.....fucking Bonnyrigg, and therefore missing the semi final. It's truly hard to work out what goes through his head sometimes. 1 Link to comment

Aye, his best comparison is probably a deid manager from 25 years ago because he came from a country that's a bitty close to Sweden. 2 Link to comment
DandyWarhol Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I absolutely fucking hate this squad of players. Just a bunch of weak, gutless losers. Scary how much we will be overpaying them compared to Dundee, Killie, St Mirren. Also if I have to see a midfield trio of Barron, Clarkson and Shinnie again I might just end myself. 1 Link to comment

Getting a second yellow for a clear bookable offence after getting his first yellow for a clear bookable offence should be something he’s punished by the club for. Complete stupidity, and as captain he should know better (we know he doesn’t by now) 2 Link to comment

No chance of a European place and they sneak into the top 6 due to Motherwell scraping an equaliser. And their fans celebrate like they've won the Champions League. What a bunch of irrelevent, small minded, tinpot cunts. The arrogance of some people is quite incredible. Dundee have had a good season and they’ve boosted their finances with a top six finish that could see them kick on a bit next season. Of course it means a lot to to them to be in the top 6. 2 Link to comment
afc_blockhead Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 1 hour ago, Andy_123 said: Entertaining enough 1st half. Abysmal 2nd half. Not sure why we stopped getting the ball out wide to Duk. Also how bad was Ryan Duncan? Jesus fuck looked like he’d never played football before One of the worst sub appearances i have ever seen. Il admit ive never been a fan as hes never impressed but fucking hell. The passage of play when he got the ball in space on the half way line with space to run in to and stopped/miscontrolled it then hoofed it crossfield to noone was shite on a massive level Link to comment
donswin1983 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Well, that was, as stated before, the last trip to pittodrie this season. Can’t be arsed commenting on the game, other than Shinnie is a complete fud. Thought a few of the Dundee midfield looked decent and I like tiffanoy (or however you spell it) too. 5 games to go and it can’t end fast enough! Well 6 including next week, which despite my optimism will very likely be a tough watch. my turn drive too, so can’t even drown my sorrows before the game. Link to comment

torry_battery_ram Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 A match between 2 awful teams that got the 0-0 it thoroughly deserved. Embarrassing that we are behind that tinpot Dundee team wildly celebrating being pish as if finishing 6th is an achievement. Rotten standard, rotten league. Next Saturday will be humiliating if Celtic can be arsed once they go 2 or 3 ahead. Link to comment
