Maybe you'll be promoted by tomorrow.

They're not even promoted yet. Why the hell is this thread here? Get it shifted back.

Alex Ferguson invited Jock Stein to Gothenburg to be, if I remember rightly, around the squad for morale reasons. Given that Dundee United were playing Dundee in a match to win the Premier League three days later, there's no way Jim McLean was there.

8 for Friday. St Elmo's kite.

Do they sell ice cream at the front of the passageways?

As 1954/55 League Champions, Aberdeen were screwed over in favour of 5th placed Hibs, who finished 15 points behind us. Given that Hibs got to the semi final of the European Cup, it is very possible that Aberdeen would have won the first ever competition, and put Celtic’s gas at a peep.

Hey…. Pre-empting getting my Bovril at 12.15.

8 for Thursday. Modern music and strangely named rhinos.

5 for The Comedy Quiz.

If you ask Santa, he may make that happen.

You said that "in the long term, we'll be seen to have had a better last decade."? Really?

The post that I wish I had the intelligence to write.

In other words, the VAR system is pointless. What am I missing here, If it isn’t able to make accurate offside decisions why is it there?

Ok. Nobody knows if Jimmy Thelin is going to be a success at Aberdeen. I’m pleased that we haven’t gone for the usual run of the mill Scottish manager, or someone with no track record, and he seems to be respected and liked at Elfsborg. He may have a great season and take us back to third or better.

You are beginning to sound like a St Mirren fan. Again, that’s your prerogative.

Ok. In the last 12 seasons Aberdeen have finished higher than Hearts 10 times. In the last 10 seasons Aberdeen have finished 2nd four times, with Hearts on zero. In the last 121 years Aberdeen have never been relegated, Hearts have been countless times. In the last 121 years Aberdeen have beaten Rangers countless times at Hampden, Hearts have never done that. If you want to concentrate on the last three years, that's your perogative.

I think that's called "obsession".

I may have made that up.

A lot of folk have bovril for their breakfast.

I like Hampden, and I like going there to see Aberdeen and Scotland. Interesting on Saturday though getting our food pre match. Turnstiles opened at 11.00 and we were in about 11.30. Up to a not busy counter and asked for a hot dog, Hampden pies are shite, and a bovril. I could see the puzzlement on the girl's face. I said "bovril" three times and she eventually went away and came back with a wee Glaswegian lassie who showed her what a bovril was. Then she wandered about with the cup for about 30 seconds and came back to me. "No hot water. Will be 5 minutes." My friend was at the other end of the counter and when he asked a different person for his bovril she came back with a bottle of water. Obviously not a single second's training, and no hot water 30 minutes after gates open. Then the bloody screens went off after 10 minutes of the game for the remainder of the first half, so no idea how long had gone or was left. Not great. Apart from the game, which was magnificent.

8 for Wednesday.

Spoiler alert.

I’m sure that you can’t park on Dens Road between Dens Park and Frews.

I was at that replay in what seemed like a massive crowd. Went along to see Joe Harper do well, but Dundee were magnificent that night.

Good idea on your part, pretend three years ago didn’t happen.
