Aberdonians may not be big city slickers, compo,but they’re not teuchters either. That’s reserved for Highlandmen.

The message is correct, though and as Bill says, they will be targeting Cantwell, their new Morelos.

You'll have to give me a name for these aberdonian thugs in Glasgow they're known as Ned's what's the Aberdeen equivalent.

Ryan Jack still being a thing here is exactly what is wrong with this football club. Player Trading Model, Succession Plan and Transfer and Contract activity at the club over the last 5-10 years has been nothing short of disgusting. We are such a poorly poorly run football club. We really are. I think we'd be lucky if this sick note was available for 80% of our matches in the time he's been here. Then there's the rest.......those always injured or those who never play and are no use to us still getting a wage. 

 

Expect a very tough game. Aberdeen will turn up like Real Madrid tmrw coz that's what they do. If we hammer them tmrw it will cripple them for the Cup Final. If they beat us again tmrw they will rightfully head in to the final as favourites. And off the back of Celtic humiliating them 6-0 that is quite simply unacceptable. As must win tmrw as must wins go. No excuses. PCs toughest test yet. 

Hope they do turn up tomorrow - the game is Sunday......

It was still Neds there also. Going to school there I was a victim a few times of so called hardmen in groups who picked the easy target of 2 teenagers. Scott is correct though Teuchters are from the towns and villages going west and north and by no certain terms would I be a Teuchter 😄. 

 

This was always their cup final when I was going to Pittodrie but we had an immense record there in the 90s and 00s. It was a great day out and a home game for me. The games when I didnt have a ticket in advance - there was nothing better than going up to Altens area as a 16 / 17 year old with cold cans of Tennents waiting for the Gers buses come through to get a ticket. 

 

Have to say I dont know much about the current Aberdeen team but if Celtic just put 6 past them then they cant be great despite raising their game on Sunday. But I am looking forward to the game - there is just something refreshing about our games at the moment since Beale left.

Time for Ryan Jack to chose between Scotland or Rangers as he clearly can't be fit enough to play for both. 

 

Problem is he performs a unique role for both; neither have a replacement in terms of role or ability.

I think we should just stick to calling them sheep-shaggers and Betamax FC.  

 

Having said that, I come from a rural part of Scotland but we're a bit classier down in the Borders and prefer goats.

The East coast equivalent of the Ned is the "Schemie". I don't know if that term is used as far North as Aberdeen. 

What I do know is that when East coast types fulminate against or about West coast Neds, a mere mention of the speech, behaviour, and lifestyle, of  the Schemie is enough to clam and clamp them. Wankers.

 

Aberdonians? I have struggled for years to find a word which adequately conveys the utter contempt in which I hold them, having had the misfortune to work with such fowk, some years ago. They are, as I see it, transparently Rubes, Hillbilly types (without the musical talent). 

I would welcome any suggestions for an appropriate, accurate,  pejorative label. 

 

"Teuchters" are, traditionally, native Gaelic speakers.

West of the river Findhorn to be exact. 
 

West of Bucksburn we’re just ordinary countryfolk or fisherfolk.

You're a hillbilly, just admit it.

Undeniable. But as @Uilleam put it so well, without the musical talent and to be honest without the hills. Borders hills are better.
