My memories of Anderson from the away end at Todders was having to do a silly amount of running and covering to save the arses of the rest of the defence back when Pele was in charge. Don't think Lee Mair is much cop, and McNamara isn't the player he used to be.

I think Tangoman is in for a rough ride if you get off to a shit start.....

Speaking of crap defenders... Zander Diamond. Everyone used to rave about him, but now it's generally accepted that he's a bit pish. I saw him playing for Scotland U21 at Pittodrie against France a while back, and it was the worst performance from any player I've ever seen, he got turned inside out and taken off at half-time.
I think it'll take a while for Aberdeen to sort out the back four because it was built around Anderson, but that's probably why Tangoman brought in McNamara.

I think you'll find Kirk Broadfoot was the worst player by a country mile at that under 21 game.

Craig Beattie had to be the worst player on that pitch!!

Nope. We still have a strong team and we're not short of defenders, ok none of them are Anderson but they'll do.

Not too despondent. Still going to buy a season ticket. Anderson will be missed but we'll still be decent.

Diamond is a bit shit but I have some sort of affection for the lad. I look forward to him coming off the bench just to see what he's going to do. Fall on his ass? Break someone's ankle? Go on one of his mad surges up the right flank before falling on his ass or breaking someone's ankle?

3-1 I think. Charlie Adam scored a pen late on? It was a bit of a lesson in football that game.

Yeah, I had actually left by the time they scored the penalty. They did well to keep in to 3, we got a real doing, 2-0 down within 5 minutes or something.

The only decent players that night were Scott Brown (only in 2nd half), Steven Whittaker and i think Naismith had a pretty good game too. Score was 3-1 (maybe 4-1?). It was the friday before the full team played against the Faroes at Parkhead (amazing weekend).

I'm looking forward to the new season

Mind you we haven't just lost our Captain and 1st choice center half..... wait a sec....
