2007/2008 season thread

Dunfermline 2-1 Stirling Albion

Guess I'm in a minority on here in that I'm happy with the weekend football. St. Mingin' sneaking a last-minute winner against the F****** Minks was the icing on the cake. Pars now in the dizzy heights of 6th place and Lavvy rock-bottom! Renewed optimism for Thursday...

Aberdeen's in the middle of a crisis just now and the sooner the clowns in power realise this the sooner the mess can be sorted out. Oh, silly me for forgetting how we scraped third place last season - that makes every bad result this season null & void.

Another shocker yesterday.

Lovell by now should have handed in his transfer request. If i was him I'd stick it up Jimmy's arse till it came out of his gob. I mean, bringing on Derek Young just must have been the final straw for the man. Mackie and Miller who are both playing nothing short of God awful is bad enough, but Derek Young? Enough is enough. Even though he scored twice yesterday I just thought it was the most Calderwood of Calderwood things to do in playing Brewster. Not planning for the future or trying to get a partnership that will gel together playing well or giving your best striker a game - just giving his mate a final runout. Granted, he scored twice, but Lovell might have too and I'd much rather we found a prolific strike partnership than play players who are going out the door.

And what the fuck was he thinking of not putting McNamara in the middle for the all important bit of stability. experience and common sense? Our defence was camped in their own penalty box when it was 2 - 3 so their goal was inevitable. Where were our fast break tactics when we needed them?

All in all, another shocker, but never mind, i'm sure we'll be reminded in tomorrow's Evening how we'll be "up there at the end of the season" and there were "many positives to be taken from the game." Throwing away a 2 goal lead away from home has no positives no matter how you look at it. Bad tactics and poor performances from exhausted players have everything to do with it though.

We'd better start winning soon or it's gonna get nasty.

Sounds like a typical Mackem to me. Seriously, along with Spurs fans ("Berbatov is twice as good as Beardsley and Shearer were in their prime," actual quote) they've got to be the most deluded bunch of knee-jerkers around.

Having seen the horrendous "tackle" that Anderson made giving away a penalty five minutes into his Premiership debut, I'm not surprised the Sunderland fans are sceptical.

To be fair though I can't remember him ever doing anything as bad in a Dons shirt.

Maybe, for the time being, a bit out of his depth but will come good. He looked nervous for a big chunk of the Scotland match but seemed to be back to his old self in the last 25mins or so.

he got out paced by emile heskey

So, according to the paper today Steve Lovell could be on the way out of Pittodrie to be replaced by Scott Dobie.

Nothing against Dobie coming in, but why get rid of the best finsiher we have at the club? Calderwood must be on crack.

In other news, Anderson is set to start for Sunderland tonight in the Carling Cup.

Saw the Lovell bit in the press. Maybe something going on behind the scenes and he is out of favour. Him not playing and Darren 'butter feet' Mackie starting every game is just plain odd, and annoying.

Not to mention taking Derek Young off the bench in favour of Lovell, WTF?

I can remember him getting booed as a young right back, before he switched to central defence. He certainly made quite a few errors back then.

Hope he adjusts down there quickly though.
