The frustrating thing with Gartenmann is how frequently he makes the schoolboy error of letting the ball bounce, it's completely unforgivable at this level. At least once every other game I've seen him let a routine hoof forward bounce before trying to deal with it, and then he inevitably gets bullied by the opposition striker.
Sokler let one bounce in our box on Saturday.
It came to nothing as he pumped it out the park but my heart skipped a beat.

Ally McCoist in a cracking Scotland away strip in Belgium in 1987 on a night we were skelped 4-1 against a Belgian side inspired by Nico Claesen who scored a hat trick.
Paul McStay scored a belter on an otherwise night to forget from a Scottish perspective, neither side made it to the European Championships in West Germany the following year, we actually finished above Belgium, coming third in the group, this was the campaign a late Gary Mackay winning goal in Bulgaria prevented them from qualifying and allowing Ireland to make it to their first major tournament.
With Stephane Demol, who died suddenly last summer.

I don't know how Jimmy Thelin will get on; however, we should just ensure that Peter Leven remains at the club.
I know he wasn't keen on the gig full time; however, he's impressed and might one day be the man.
That would certainly tick the succession planning box.

Ironically a post that would sit well in amongst that cesspit
Indeed, I was 'tired and emotional' when typing that post, it had been a long day although I did find Duk and Morris work rate infuriating at the game...they both seemed to be successfully avoiding any interaction with the ball.
Although calling Duk a 'shitebag' was dramatic nonsense.
For me, they along with Roos were the only players that disappointed me on Saturday.
Roos for that incident with the cramp and giving his own inexperienced team mate a excruciatingly long wait to take his penalty, when he could've shuffled off to the side and then received treatment and delayed their next taker.

He definitely doesn’t like the physicality of the week to week stuff.
He was great yesterday but my worry is that he’s excellent at the last ditch stuff. He makes good tackles, blocks, puts his body on the line. The stuff that stands out in these games. Problem is I see him making last ditch challenges etc too often against the likes of st Johnstone or hibs at home and you wonder if he’s actually put himself in that position in the first place.
His positioning can be pretty kamikaze at times too.
Russell Anderson eventually carved out a career of being an excellent last ditch blocker and tackler after being caught out positionally.
Gartenmann played a fine game yesterday epitomised by that beautiful take down and cross field pass he made to Hoilett for the third goal.
I think his biggest problems this season have came when partnering with Jensen.

I made the mistake of visiting 'The Hat' and it's a piley on Shayden Morris.
I won't deny that he did nothing apart from one cross but that one effort was more than that shitebag Duk did on the whole 70 minutes he was on the park

Well there you go....
I was wrong, I didn't think Thelin was a remote possibility and I'm still slightly curious why he decided to make the move.
I do hope he is now given a proper opportunity to build a squad over two or three seasons before we start judging him.
However, I suppose most fans will back him even without immediate winning runs if we can see that he knows what he's doing, unlike the previous Cormack men.

I think he is destined to play at a higher level, and it doesn't surprise me that Serie A clubs like him, but it is a bit disappointing that we have never really seen Barron in a genuinely good Aberdeen team with proper coaching. Aberdeen, and Scottish clubs in general, don't produce many players like him.
They could both be in Serie B by the time he arrives.
It surprises me because I don't think he's good enough but I would view this interest as more the produce of the Lewis Ferguson effect with more Italian clubs thinking they can unearth a Scottish gem.
I thought similar when Calvin Ramsey went to Liverpool for that ridculously over-inflated price for a lad that hadn't even proved himself at Aberdeen, and seemed to struggle to complete a full game. I put that down to the Andy Robertson effect (see also Nathan Patterson's move to Everton).
It would be a hard gig for Barron in the lower reaches of Serie A.

I renewed the ST last night. Wasn’t even drinking.
You will have turned to drink by the time you come to use the ST....I'm afraid 2024/25 will be another 'transitional season'.
Although that might mean transitioning to a Championship club.

When I were lad we all played 4-3-3 (right-back, left-back, centre-half, sweeper, right and left sided midfielders, centre mid, right and left wingers and a centre forward).
It's everything you need in a formation, well balanced, defensive cover and attacking threat from both wings.

I think O’Neill would be a pretty good appointment but I am concerned about how much it would cost us to buy out the four years remaining on his contract.
Aberdeen won't pay the compo NI wants and O'Neill doesn't fancy it anyway, but he's quite happy for the speculation to continue to see if more interesting offers from other clubs appear as he puts out the signals that he wants to move back to club football.
I really don't understand why there's still chatter about Michael O'Neill.

I see there's still chatter that Michael O'Neil is the man that's "very close" ; however, I've heard that he wasn't interested...

John Brown in his pre 'Bomber' days when he was actually a goalscoring midfielder for Dundee before going to Ibrox a few years later, seeing out the second half of his career booting opponents and screaming thinly veiled sectarian insults at youth team members and Italian team mates.
A 2-2 draw at Dens Park against Aberdeen from March 1986.
Jim Duffy and Vince Mennie join in the celebrations, the 'Derry' in the background is virtually identical and unchanged to this day, much like the main stand.
Similar to the Main Stand and the 'Derry', Jim Duffy looks virtually identical and unchanged to this day.
Brown is an utter w@nk but he was a good player for Dundee until he decided to play the hard man at the deid club.

Alex Neil won't come here anyway, but I find some of the negative chat from our fans around him absolutely baffling. I think he would be an excellent appointment, but folk genuinely seemed outraged that we would even think about appointing him. Probably quite a lot to do with him being Scottish and only having worked in the UK, and wanting something more exciting and mysterious. I genuinely fear that we have one of the least 'knowledgeable' supports in the country.
I wouldn't be adverse to Neil per se; however, the indications are that his preferred choice would be to remain in England than come back up the road. I remember we had a previous manager who couldn't hide the fact that he would've liked to be elsewhere, when McGhee said he was waitng for the call from Celtic.
I want a manager who really wants to come to Aberdeen, whether that reason is because they see us with potential as a stepping stone to bigger things or because they have plans to have success only at Aberdeen.
I didn't think this at anytime up until the last couple of weeks, but in my humble opinion, the man that feels like he wants to come here for the right reasons (not out of desperation like Shree Hughes) is Tony Doc.
However, I recognise that, given the inexperienced coaches that have failed recently, Cormack will probably want a tried and tested coach.
For me though, leave it to Leven until the summer, but have an agreement with Tony Doc to take over in the summer.
He just feels a good fit for the club and let him work and develop his squad over the next five years and stop this constant cycle of huge changes in both playing and coaching staff. Place some faith in Tony Doc and remain resolute even if he results begin patchy and fans start demanding change.
I would hope that Leven is kept on by the new team. He's been thrown to the lions a couple of times this season but has coped well up to now.

Why would Rosler be gone in 12 months?
Incompetence ?
Arguing with Cormack? Two egos clashing?
That just what he does?I don't for one moment believe the new manager will be Rosler; however, he doesn't seem to stick around long at each club his managerial journey takes him and I think the Scottish media would be in attack mode at any sniff of a reign in turmoil unless he managed to make friends and alliances quickly.

How reliable is this guy?
The owner of the account is a woman.
I don't think she particularly ITK but might get snippets.
There's no chance Thelin will want it, Rosler would be gone within 12 months, and Neil would only take the job as a second choice to his preferred option of remaining in England.
I find it hard to believe anyone actually knows what Cormack will do next, including the man himself.

A group of the most radical P&B anti-VARites could head into the Highlands and live off the land as they gather support among the peasantry.
Here they can then win minor skirmishes with Doncasterians and begin to move towards the beak HQ in Glasgow growing massive beards in the process.
As they go, the radicals and peasantry are joined with the more mainstream anti-VARites (like the Clyde supporter above) and they can then enter Glasgow in Toyota pick ups to streets lined with cheering crowds as those promoting VAR are hung, drawn and quartered and their remains left on public show.
The anti-VARites then usher in their own traditionalist leader, Commandante Bob Valentine.

I'm getting more concerned with every league match that passes. The players really don't seem to realise what's at stake here. Particularly the defence. Dundee should have scored 3 or 4 goals tonight with ease. We got really lucky with at least 3 chances in the first half. The only positive from tonight was Peter Leven's after match interview.
I'm taking defeat at Motherwell as a given so the club needs to do a big marketing campaign to get Pittodrie full for the Ross County match and the fans need to do their bit and attend.
Then I would suggest to the club that they lay on free buses for the Livi match and try to pack out whatever Livi's ground is called that week.
The players (or rather imposters) need to understand what is at stake here, and the only way we can do that as fans is by filling stadiums to capacity.

Martin Luther King?
irrelevant really.
MLK is the type of manager we need, hated in the south because they feared him...we haven't had a gaffer like that since Fergie

I’d suggest the majority won’t.
I for one would end any financial commitment to AFC.
I would scoff at the suggestion that people think there is a chance Neil Lennon will be the next Aberdeen manager but with our mad hatter of a chairman then anything is possible.
When I first joined P&B I was heavily critical of all things Cormack but was shot down from all angles by my fellow Dons fans.
The club has actually done better (if we forget Darvel for a moment) than I thought they would do under his 'guidance' which just goes to show how lowly I held the man.
There's no point being critical now, everyone has full visibility on it.
My only hope is that he can pass the club onto someone else sooner rather than later, and preferably before he gets the club relegated or does serious damage.

I hate when folk post things like "We should take a look at Heinz Herzog at KPS Neiweinhoffen. He's done an amazing job taking them up to the Austrian Bundesliga and has them challenging for Europe. Plays really good football and turned Werner Spaetzel into a £20m player." to show off how worldly and knowledgeable they are.
That said, Rui Borges is doing a great job at Moreirense, taking them up and having them challenge for Europe. Aberdeen should be asking the question.
I like the sound of this Heinz Herzog, and Cormack has also read your post and is sounding out his agent as we speak.
I did a little digging and found this image Herzog, the new Luther Blisset by all accounts.
KPS Neiweinhoffen is my new hipster team.

The Knutsen suggestion is hilarious. He was linked with Celtic, Rangers and Ajax amongst others, but stayed at Bodo and yet I've heard Aberdeen fans suggesting he'd be a good shout and if you don't ask, you don't get. The answer will be no, he's not going to become Aberdeen manager. The fact that Aberdeen is closer won't have a bearing.
I completely agree with everything you say apart from the bit that says "Rangers".

Jimmy Thelin - Aberdeen's new Manager
in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Posted
The post on isolation is reasonable to an extent; however, this is about your 500th post on how Hearts are so much better than Aberdeen.
Did an Aberdeen girl break your heart or something?
You need to let it go and move on.
