Dons_1988

I look forward to reading your published report. Hypothesis - I am right Evidence - here is a list of sources saying I'm right. Conclusion - I am right

You said you gave explicit detail. I pointed out that you did not. Hope that clears it up for you.

Jack was free to do what he wanted but you can't help notice the difference between him and Hayes signing an extension in January with a view to us getting money in the summer.

No offence m9 but you've not offered any explicit detail, you just listed a few sources that affirm your own opinion/desire. I don't particularly care about the old club/new club debate but for your info, those that repeat it on here are looking for people like you to work yourself into a frenzy about it and post repeatedly about how wrong they are. Thankfully you haven't fallen into that trap.

You're right, it is tedious. Remind me, why are you still posting about it?

At least you're not bothered

There's a lad called nacho on the Rangers thread that will have it out with you on this statement.

I respect your backtracking.

Fair enough. I will confess to knowing absolutely nothing about that.

There is a difference between stating an opinion that he may be one of the best defenders in the league as an opinion and stating with absolute confidence that he is the best signing to be seen in Scottish football for a decade and that he will 'scoosh' the league.

Not one to normally weigh in on the 'old/new club' debate, but hearts did not go through 'the exact same process'.

Nobody can say for certain what happened but it's possible he lied to mcinnes about going there and made him look a c**t when he came out and made a statement that he wasn't interested in going there. The alternative is that mcinnes knew he would likely go there and was trying to prevent fans turning on the captain for the last couple of months of the season and nothing would do that more than a captain leaving on a free to 'them'. We didn't miss him too much in the last few games of the season when he was injured in fact we played some brilliant stuff. We move on. The biggest insult we can give to him on his return to pittodrie is to not boo him at all.

I've spoken to some rangers fans who think they're signing a nasty midfielder to add bite to their midfield (snigger). Hell do well for them in games at home to bottom 6 sides that park the bus at ibrox. He is not the player that is going to get them where they 'expect' to be. As has been mentioned if you had to lose any of our current midfield trio it is most certainly jack.

Good signing. It would be churlish to suggest otherwise. This nacho fella is slightly over excited though.

Put a bet on Giggs when he was 16/1. This would be a double win! However, odds on managers are generally shite, takes virtually nothing to shift the market.

Correction. Shloppy

To* [emoji6] If we re appointed James 'it's been 10 years and no one has told me why I was sacked' calderwood I for one look forward to seeing the return of Darren mackie and derek young.

These are my feelings, a shake up of the playing staff is almost exciting if I put my most optimistic hat on. Mcinnes has a way with players and can attract guys many previous managers couldn't attract on his personality and charisma. I am confident we would bring in some really good players to replace the outgoings. However, if we lose derek with no real time to replace him properly before the EL qualifiers then I will have the fear big time.

Indeed. Had this season played out against Ronny deilas Celtic all could have been very different. We probably wouldn't have won the league but there may have been a trophy in the bag. Having been born in 1988 this is the best dons side I can reasonably remember. Sad that it looks to be coming to an end. I just pray we hold onto derek and rebuild again for next season.

As northernjambo says unfortunately it will always be there, the key is to know what triggers you and build up your defences for when these things happen. I was absolutely flying up until about march, I stopped seeing the psychologist because every appointment I just came in and said I felt great. Then I suffered a bereavement and I went into a bit of a tailspin again. All the old symptoms came back, not wanting to get up, not wanting to speak to anyone, no concentration, no motivation, no confidence and more! It made me realise that no matter how good I'm doing there is always a fragility to it and you can't get complacent. The key is to catch it early and have people around you that you can say to that you're about to hit a bad moment. They can then help you through it. Worst thing you can do is retreat into your shell, or it is for me anyway.

Yes twice

Please guys, have some respect for willie.

Totally agree.

Agreed. It's similar to the circus that Remembrance Day has become over the last few years. LOOK AT ME, IM GRIEVING
