Apart from Russell and Cooper and maybe McLoy man for man United had a better team. That’s judging McCoist on his form at the time.

That would be a good starting point but they would need a run of four or five games together regardless of results or performances. Are we willing to accept that? It seems that although the season was set aside for development, the club is still trying to compete. Can’t be done.

Martin Buchan was the Aberdeen defender. His father also Martin played for Buckie Thistle at outside or inside right, outstanding at that level. That Scottish Cup semi final was one of Stein’s best ever games under threat of suspension for the final. Most semi finals don’t stick in the memory, probably because they are over-shadowed by the finals or in a few cases because they are the end of the road. The only other one I remember is the 1-2 replay against Hibs 1958 and the notorious disallowed equaliser minutes from the end.

Thanks, CF. A sums simpleton like me can understand that. Says it all.

Agreed. Back in the box ‘til we win the League again. In the meantime:

And the second and the third. Then we should manage it.

Shirley makes us a fortune. Floyd not so much.

Agree wholeheartedly but try getting the team to see it that way.

Yes but look at their league points.

Brendan or Ange obviously or if their contract are too expensive even for United, Lennon’s available.

I’m just worried. I understand the conflict but it’s Aberdeen and though my head has written off the season my inner juvenile harbours a flicker of hope. If it were near the season’s end and Hearts or even Dundee or Motherwell were in Aberdeen’s position I would probably agree

I like the look of Cameron. Could he play in the same midfield as Barron?

Everybody wins 3-0 away at Keith.

Of course he didn’t bomb up and down the park getting in the way of his winger and leaving his flank open which seems to be the way modern fullbacks operate.

Which of the two clubs is the top club in town?

Tommy Callaghan would be a first pick for the current Scotland side. His brother was a better defender than any player currently playing in the Scottish defence. Same applies to Rangers when I think about it.

I hope.

Stranraer equalise with a goal unlikely to be bettered this season. Nonetheless c’mon the black and white. I can always find a reason to pick a side.

Yes.

Maroon Remainers.

Actually the haircut is the least of it.

It’s caley thistle but if Dross Clarty go the same way my heart won’t break.

I decline to answer that on ground that it may incriminate me.

I’m in favour of that but will we have the collective patience to let them settle? (Alex Scott scored a hat trick in his first match!)

I don’t know how many players are truly committed to the Club. Balogun, Barron, McAusland and maybe Butland. The rest will perform as professional wage earners but without the extra effort of, for example, a Ferguson. Tavernier had it for a while but for seasons now, he’s been paralysed by fear. Just look at his eyes.
