He was, but been back training a good few weeks now A few rumours of his attitude stinking the place out, but only rumours. Our midfield is relatively weak, so to not use him or Clarkson much for rotation purposes at the very least, is quite damning. Have to trust the manager on these calls.2 points

No one watch films anymore Ten months and no posts Watched "I Swear" last night. A true story of tourettes sufferer John Davidson from Galashiels. Starting with him going to secondary school and the start of his tics, through to him receiving his MBE for his work in raising awareness of tourettes. A wonderful story where you will laugh and cry in equal measures (sometimes at the same time) and with a smattering of pretty decent music. Last word on the film, everyone needs a Dottie in their life2 points

My reply take two. For me, this Stadium is supposedly going to bring a prospective economic gold rush to the City. If it is that great a thing for the City, then why don't the great and the good come together and pay for it. I'm totally aware it won't make money, hence my concern about the Council paying for it. I get that a City or a Town needs good infrastructure to attract and retain businesses, but for me anyway, Aberdeen Football Club Ltd, need this stadium much, much more than our City does. A Hospital, a School and Roads are all good examples of where public money should be spent to bring growth to an area, but not quite sure a fitba stadium fits into to this. We have had Woody stumping up a large amount for a hospital car park. We had the Donalds put £15 million into AFC to wipe out our debt, that was nothing to do with them. I am quite sure that between all the real monied folk in this City, we can surely come up with a way of financing this Stadium, which would remain an Asset for the club for the next 100 years or so. Even get the fans involved in some way. I am sure a few would like to be part of something like this. We were told 15 years ago, by the very same great and the good of this City, that Union Terrace Gardens would have to be concreted over, to keep the City economically viable, or some other mealy mouthed pish. It didn't happen and what the Council did with it has just won an architectural award for it. It is a jewel in our City Centre and I hope that this new foodie place, where the New Market was, brings a much needed boost to Union Street, along with the other improvements being done. I want to see our City succeed, I want to see more positive changes like Union Terrace Gardens as opposed to the not so good Marischal Square, that was an opportunity lost for the City. Could have made a lovely Civic Square type of area with the old Town House complementing Marischal College. I would have knocked down the St Nicholas Centre too if given a chance. I'm certainly not averse to change. When they wheel out people like Martin Gilbert, just like they did with the UTG debacle from years back, it just stinks of the rich folk looking their noses down at the poor relations. I not the most articulated in getting my point of view across, but the whole thing just stinks and our local press seem to be agenda driven, just like they were with both UTG and Marischal Square and of course Trumps golf course in Balmedie. That was a new low amongst the many lows our esteemed Dundonian press.2 points

His big fantasy is/was for rugby matches , relatively little fan interest ? , & surely they wouldn't be playing internationals here anyway , not to mention the proportions of the stadium would doubtless induce bad seating position behind goals. funny he has the brass to mention kicking the can down the road , as that's what him & his phony predecessor have been doing for the last few decades, after Milne's very first gamble of some other mug paying for it backfired2 points

Born on this day 55 years ago, Eoin Jess. Happy Birthday loon. One of the very, very best in my opinion and was a privilege to watch him break through.2 points

Nah, he was just trying a bit too hard in that deeper role, getting a bit excited. If he puts in that work rate and desire for the rest of the season he'll come good. I think we could be about to see another of his purple patches in the next couple of months.2 points

Appreciate the N/E the older I get.As for Pittodrie,still get a buzz going into the ground(often changes quickly like). Looking forward to the game tomorrow,feels like were getting close to giving someone a jolly good thrashing.....then the game starts1 point

I get the feeling I would get a start over Clarkson at the moment. That's how far out of the picture he appears. Think he and Palaversa are both on the way out of the club, for whatever reason.1 point

I was run out of town and daren't go back. A long story. Joking aside, I just haven't gone back to Aberdeen for many reasons. The only Dons game I have been to since then was a 1-1 draw with Conference strugglers Tamworth in 2010. That was a waste of a tenner.1 point

This I left three months before Gothenburg, have returned at least five or six times every season, have brought up two boys in the west of Scotland to follow The Dandies all over Scotland & Europe. I feel blessed to have brought my boys up correctly and have memories of following Aberdeen with them I will take to my grave Stand Free lads Feeling a bit teary typing that1 point

22 years ago, Pele Paterson was in the hot seat. Did it scar you that much? You never get the urge to make the pilgrimage up to our Mecca of the north? (Nae bingo jokes please). I'm assuming you are still in Englandshire and not further afield. The reason I have never left Aberdeen, to live further afield, is our bloody club. I was asked once to move abroad and that was my reason for not going. A 100% genuine answer. I wouldn't even class myself as that big a dandy and much more committed supporters than me, but I couldn't live without my regular fix. Would be easier coming off crack. As long as the heart is in the right place, then that is what counts.1 point

Ross County WTF Where did it all go wrong Given my father was from just outside Dingwall, I have always had a bit of a soft spot for them. To add further interest to it, I have a lot of time for Tony Doc1 point

My very favourite player of all time. When he played the masters last year I genuinely welled up a bit seeing him score for the dons one last time.1 point

Martin Gilbert getting involved in the stadium debate now. Not that this was pre planned or anything. As I keep spouting, why are these very, very rich individuals not providing private funding themselves and help build a long term asset for the club? I mean, if the stadium is such a money spinning asset for the City, then surely these individuals would want a piece of the pie and would want to control it. I'm sure a man of Martin Gilberts background, could have put something together to facilitate this, without the need for public cash.1 point

It's been a gey bad campaign, but just imagine if we had beaten FCSB and played in the Europa League? It doesn't bear thinking about, really. So I don't know why I mentioned it.1 point

Oh I was being sarcastic. I'll wait and see what comes of this before getting excited about anything.1 point

TBH Manc I often get a wee snippet of what's going on behind closed doors, but I'm hearing nothing on this one. Sure given his contract scenario there will potentially be others looking at him0 points

I hinna been to Pittodrie in 22 years, so I'm not even part time. Scott Booth scored for us last time I was there. That's how long ago it was.0 points
