The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23
Kneetrembler replied to a topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
The first question was "can we mount a title challenge" to Celtic. DM's answer was pretty much "no". Then the second question was "what do you like to watch on tv." I started getting a bit restless. Regarding Woodman, there were apparently several clubs trying to get him in on loan, more than one from Scotland. And one of them, I don't think it was specifically mentioned, told Newcastle Lewis was only going to be out for a month and that Rogers would be Aberdeen's first choice. -

I am pretty angry with McInnes after the B&G thing to be honest. This is exactly correct. The home support are mostly locals. We are a reserved bunch, slow to get excited, but when we are it is a scene to behold. The away fans are made up from a lot of different areas and also students based in the central belt. Even when were shite we had a big noisy away support. And when we were awesome the home support was subdued, unless we were beating an Ugly Sister or European Giant. I had a bit of a row with some Central Belt Dons fans in Inverness once. They were pissed, and bouncing around chanting and having a great time. Then one of them asked me "how you no singing? Yer no a real fan". Not everyone is fit for jumping about and yelling. I'm certainly not anymore, but I would put my attendance record up against anyone's and I doubt I would be embarrassed. When we have beaten Rangers and Celtic at home there have been amazing atmospheres at Pittodrie. Also in Europe, the Almaty home game, the last ten minutes when we were pressing for a goal, the place was absolutely rocking. McInnes said the team were playing their part but the crowd weren't. I beg to differ. Aberdeen fans wont get excited about beating teams outside the ugly sisters at Pittodrie because we expect to do so. That makes us entitled and arrogant, but its how it is. A bit more entitlement and arrogance from the team and we might actually manage to beat Rangers one day. Consistency does not inspire passion, overcoming the odds does that. If McInnes and any Dons fans want to know what the secret of generating a cauldron like atmosphere at Pittodrie is then I can tell you. Beat Rangers or Celtic there. -

That's why I can't stay mad at the Dons for long. Niall McGinn, Scott McKenna. -

I am fucking gutted with that result on Wednesday. Rangers were far far better than us. The team seems to shrink when they play the Ugly Sisters. We just don't have enough. -

To be honest, I wouldn't have believed such a thing was possible. Getting a six figure fee for a player leaving at the end of his contract. Very nice. -

I was told yesterday that Scott Wright is keen to go out on loan as he's frustrated by the lack of game time he's getting at Aberdeen. -

Waiting outside Maribor's ground before the game, Joe was standing on a raised balcony bit above the Dons fans. He conducted hundreds of us singing his song up to him. It was one of my favourite moments of being a football fan. A pure instance of the beauty this mental game we follow can generate every once in a while . Just wonderfully nostalgic. Joey being adored by a crowd of whom very few were old enough to have seen him play, but all knew we were in the presence of greatness. -

My wife reckons that as McGinn did his press with no sign of a club jersey on show, this is very likely to be the case. Maynard will just have to go into the shite loan/short contracts cupboard. Its getting pretty full up now though. -

3.5 year deal. Jeebus. That's a decent bit of work from his agent. -

I thought Ball did pretty well vs Celtic. I haven't been able to watch the redTV coverage though. Was he shite? I also thought Reynolds did well. -
^^^ That's some good advice.

When I was first with my now wife, over 25 years ago, there was a lot of pressure from my mother on us to attend family events and shite of that nature. Personally, I didn't care about it but my wife saw the whole thing as some kind of power struggle between her and my ma as to who we would visit when we went home.. When the kids came along it was worse, every time we came back to the north east to visit it was a ballache. My divorced parents both lived in Peterhead, my wife's old dears in a village near Banff, her sisters in MacDuff and my sister was in Buckie. Now, I really couldn't have given a shite, but it was a big deal for my wife, so it became a big deal for me. My wife and I spoke endlessly about it. How much of an arsehole my ma was being, unfair pressure etc etc. Allowing her to vent, made all the difference. Sure we had some awkward visits, but I would always make up some shit excuse to leave early. I always prioritised my relationship with my wife over both our parental families. Maybe have a discussion with your girlfriend see how she feels. Incidentally, my eldest daughter has just got engaged. I have had to call my wife out for behaving in a manner very similar to how my ma used to. So don't take it personally, parents and in laws are just invariably dicks, myself included. I wish you a very happy festive. Good luck.

I was at the home leg only. I couldn't get to many midweek games because my da was a fisherman and was usually at sea Sunday to Friday. On this occasion the boats were tied up for Christmas so we got to the game. Heady days. I thought they would last forever. -

More like its Edina Tinder he wants to link up with. The cheeky monkey. I dearly hope he comes back to us though. Unless he joins HIbs. In which case I have a statement prepared stating he's shite and not good enough for us. -

After this weekend's games I think the favourite in the race for second spot has been revealed. Its going to be Celtic. -

I think with the big turnover in the summer we might need a bit of stability rather than new faces. The team is taking long enough to gel as it is. -
