Counter that with the fact that it will no doubt reduce the number of travelling Dandies though. Edit - pish, I'm away on holiday and don't subscribe to Premier bloody Sports. My mate who is an Aberdeen season ticket holder thinks they’ll take 1k down minimum. It’s their managers first game and will be another ground ticked off for most travelling down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I checked the date. Feeling really old it was 21 years ago. Can still remember the swerve on Weatherson's strike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main memory of that game (if I'm thinking of the same one - thought it was a 0-0) was Goram wiggling his bum at the Dons fans in response to some "banter". ETA - I haven't checked, but I thought we played them in the Scottish Cup in the Gus season and managed to force a replay, which was some achievement for that rabble?

Katboy Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 So far I am happy enough with the signings. In the space of 2 days we are instantly more physical than we were last season. Also for the first time in a long while we may now have something resembling a midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artemis Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 51 minutes ago, 19QOS19 said: What a pish decision Aberdeen to beat us comfortably and Airdrie to beat Aberdeen... Hopefully we get a decent bit of money for it though. Aberdeen’s game with Airdrie is live on tv as well. Each club gets £18,000 for a group game televised live. £30,000 each in the later rounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Sad to say the first time I saw Aberdeen was another League Cup game at Palmy, but this was a 0-4 humping in the early 70s with wee Joe Harper in the Dons attack that day... yep, I'm an auld git now ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Can play anywhere down the left of the pitch and signs on a two year deal with an option of a third. A Carlisle-based lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Carlisle-based lad. Will soon have a full team of midfielders. I doubt he has signed for tuppence halfpenny! Could still do with another striker and definitely a goalie or 2 How big is the squad now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Never heard of Dickenson before, so don't know how decent or not he is. Have to hope he's not another Hutchinson with a 2 year deal. That said he has a lot more full league experience down south with bigger clubs than Hutchinson or the likes of Walker had so hopefully he's at a higher level than them. Murphy obviously knows more of him from his Carlisle contacts so you'd like to think his judgement is sound here. Apparently (as my good friend Wiki tells me) he brings energy to the midfield ... so that's an improvement at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
