Let me get this straight. Your argument is; that having a dupopoly is much better than a monopoly, and that the proof of this is, that the last 5 years of monopoly have been better than the previous 20 years of duopoly!? After all it's "not exactly rocket science". BrandRangers logic at it's best! Personally, I'd have thought that fans of a club which is no more than the after-birth that slipped down the side of the Charles Green Abortion Bucket, would have praised the likes of Aberdeen, ICT, Ross County, St Mirren, Kilmarnock, St Johnstone, Hearts & Hibs for breaking Whore FCs monopoly, but it would seem not. Never mind, if BrandRangersNewco FC over-invests it might well... go tits up like DeadRangers FC! Yours, I always try to look on the bright side. aDONis

I've never understood this notion that somehow a duopoly is so much more interesting than a monopoly. I for one have enjoyed the past 5 years so much more than probably the previous 20. The other good thing that happened when OldRangers FC died, was that Whore FCs crowds declined. So many of their fvkwit fans are only interested in the bigotfest. The good thing about this BrandRangersNewco FC is that they look like and smell like DeadRangers FC, but don't have the same financial doping capacity. As such it's easier to knvt them over. I'd love this version to go tits up, so that I could look forward to more years of hilarity and enjoyment. Yours aDONis

BrandRangersNewco FC, have now declared that they are serious about retaining 3rd. They've offloaded Garner the Govan Galactico for an undisclosed fee to Ipswich. No idea how much they had to pay Ipswich, but it's was probably worth it. We welcome the chase! aDONis

I think you mean "Fit?"

I see thon Roonaldo is efter a new club. Mibbees a replacement for Hayes, jist so Lang as the lazy bugger is telt tae mind 'n track back tae help oot Considine.

Dinna laugh min! The unfortunate thing is, that's exactly what he used to do. Paul Bernard anyone! Billy Dodds and a wedge of cash for Robbie Winters! Those years of folly crippled us for nearly two decades. Aberdeen came closer than most people know to doing a Motherwell, Dundee or DeadRangers. Wiggy had to think fast circa 2000 to keep us liquid. Yours aDONis

To be fair, there wasn't much fvkkin' life before Del and the Doc turned up.

Welcome back Del! Magnificent tan! Mibbees cut doon on the schloppy joes, eh!

I don't get the snobbishness that's coming from some Aberdeen fans about Wright. It's not as though McInnes in the early years had us playing like 1982 Brazil. Don't get me wrong, I love McInnes and will forever be grateful for what he's done for Aberdeen. I saw us through the glory years, but probably the most emotional I have ever been at a game was BEFORE THE KICK-OFF at ParkRed! At the age of 46 I almost blubbed, I was just so happy! I think many Aberdeen fans have forgotten that for large parts of his tenure, he too has been ahem 'conservative' and shored up rather than going for the kill. It's only really been this season that the shackles have been taken off (but even then there have been occasions where we've gone conservative (Hibs semi-final was almost a fvcktastrophe after the introduction of O'Conner and IMHO this was replicated in the substitution of a McGinn for O'Conner in the final). I see Wright and McInnes as very similar managers with a similar philosophy about what is required to win matches. Yes, Wright's teams have been stuffy against Aberdeen, but when they've put 3 to 5 past us I've found it hard to console myself with the thought 'we sometimes play better football than them'. I'd love to keep McInnes, but if it's Wright then he gets my backing and I'll consider ourselves lucky to have him. Yours aDONis

He is indeed a bit of a curate's egg. But I'll nail my colours to the mast and say, he's a great appointment. I met him when he was Chief Exec at the Dons. He came across as an absolute straight shooter. I was complaining about the fact that we were about to lose the mercurial talents of David Rowson to Stoke (STOKE FFS)! He was surprisingly open and set me straight on where Aberdeen's spending power sat in comparison to Stoke (STOKE FFS)! Stoke at that time were offering David Rowson roughly triple what Aberdeen's average first team salary was. (Remember Stoke were in the THIRD TIER of the English leagues at the time). To match their offer would have made David Rowson the highest paid player at the club (ahead of the likes of Jess, Bernard, SuperKev, Winters etc.) Not only that, he also told me that Aberdeen had been told by the bank in no uncertain terms to sort their shyt out, and that the bank wouldn't support continual losses. (at the time Aberdeen were losing between £1.5m and £3.6m p.a. IIRC). I was very impressed that he was so candid and straight forward. SO FAR SO GOOD! However after he returned to the States and as per the quote, he did have a bit of a brain fart about a new Ecosse FC team that would travel around the country like the Highland Globetrotters playing at various stadiums attracting 'untapped' supporters who had previously only had an interest in football at international level?! He also championed the merger of many clubs for example the proposed Dundee Club would be the merger of not only Dundee and Utd, but also Arbroath, Montrose and probably St Johnstone (I can't remember exactly). Now I can see the logic of merging smaller clubs to make much bigger clubs (I don't think it's a linear progression or necessarily works, but I can see the logic). However Ecosse FC! Now that is brave/mental! Now I'm hoping he was just trying to start debate, rather than thinking it was a goer, but because it was written down (I think the document was called 'Football the brave' or other such nonsense) it's hard to know how serious he was being. So after all that waffle, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was just being provocative. So welcome aboard chiel! Yours aDONis

Alonso looking unlikely. Heard he wanted a guaranteed starting place ahead of Pirlo and Shinnie. Deal breaker IMHO.

Point of order Mr Chairman It was the MIGHTY, MIGHTY AFC that condemned NewBrandRangers FC to their uncertain fate. After our declaration, the new club had to appeal to the SFL for succour. A great day it was indeed! Yours aDONis

Nope, £10.3m was indeed for the playing squad. Total salaries were £12.9m Dave "what the fvk am I looking at" King knows that most SevcoBrandRangers fans are zipped up the back. Chuck in a few lines with the words 'loyal', 'tradition' or 'enemy' and they'll lap it up. Yours aDONis

In fairness, it's well known that Giggs is not only in awe of Josh "Big Wilf" Magennis' prowess as goalkeeper, come heedless striker, come circus half-time entertainment. He is also cowed by Joshers reputation as a powerful yet tender lover. He took out that super-injunction, to stop Imogen Thomas from spilling the beans that Big Wilf, had a more gifted trouser department, than Sir Awex had temper tantrums, and that only Andrew Considine could measure up to (allegedly). But keep that to yourself, because I could be in contempt of court Yours Andrew Considine (aka Red Rum)

In fairness, it does actually takes some fvkkin doing to be that fvkkin shyte! But Stevenson is so good he wouldn't have been playing back then when Hubs got relegated, it was a while ago after all. Yours aDONis

Considine would walk into all the other clubs teams except maybe Celtic at the moment. Funny thing is, that would only make him the third best left back in Scotland and the 2nd best left back in Aberdeen! Oh aye, and he's not a grass either. Yes sir you can boogie. aDONis

Jerel Awful as he was known, was Swindon fans player of the season before he came to Pittodrie. I can't think of a worse player for Aberdeen. Ritchie 'Roberto Carlos' Byrne used to give me the shyts when the ball went near him. Every one of Jamie McQuilken's seven appearances are burned in horror on my retinas! But to paraphrase Snead O'Conner, "Nothing compares, nothing compares to the f**k nugget, ineptitude of Jerel"! Yours aDONis

Founding father... Charles Green

Why does an organisation that calls itself 'Club 1872' even bother with this stuff? You'd have thought they of all people would have understood that this has nothing to do with the club. This is company stuff! (Unless of course the ethereal entity stuff is a bunch of made up pysh)! C'mon bares get them telt! Yours aDONis

I love Jack, serious bromance. He just makes things tick on around him. He's not flash, but he just makes himself available to receive the ball, then give it. He's not the same quality as say, Michael Essien, but he is that type of player. I really don't want him to leave. Yours aDONis

Mibbees aye, mibbees no, mibbees... it's a chance for me to have another laugh at this! http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/rangers/dave-king-wants-to-take-oldco-rangers-out-of-liquidation-1-3883729 Yours aDONis

Not to forget the other 'temporary' licence they had to get in order to play the mighty Brechin. BrandRangers FC the gift that keeps on... ruining Shull's breeks. Yours aDONis

"The collapse of Bradford Bulls, among the most decorated British rugby league clubs in the past two decades, is one of the biggest sporting financial failures in recent years alongside the the liquidation of the former Rangers Football Club in Scotland in 2012 and Championship rugby union side London Welsh in December" http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/38637113 Tee-hee. The good old Beeb, forgetting about the 'fairy story, ethereal club' line. Back on THE LIST for them... (If they ever came off it, of course). Yours aDONis

They obviously don't know that a club is defined by the fact that Neil Doncaster says it is, so there! As the saying goes; Bradford Bulls then, Bradford Bulls till erm recently, Bradford Bulls erm now, Bradford Northern at one time... Oh, erm, I'm not very good at this make believe stuff.
