  1. It beggars belief that Mackie and Foster are going to be starting McGhee's first match. I thought his first task would be to send them packing. It just shows how much we're struggling for players at the moment.

    Both of these get an overly bad press, for me. Derek Young is far and away the worst player in our squad, IMO. Speaking of which, to the tune of "Stay Young" by Oasis:

    Hey! Deek Young

    You're not invincible

    And we know just what you are.

  2. I'm not even a Dons fan, but.......

    (to the tune of Paparazzi by Lady Gaga)

    I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me

    Darren, Darren Mackie

    Mackie, there's no other superstar, we know that you'll be our

    Darren, Darren Mackie

    I already posted that one in the other thread. Gloriously shit, I feel.

  3. "He's big, he's shite,

    His name is Tommy Wright,

    Tommy Wright, Tommy Wright..."

    I've just realised that Bebo's name is a godsend for songs. Anything with "fire" or "desire" in it works, basically.

    e.g. "Freed From Desire" by Gala:

    Bebo Maguire

    Mind and senses purified

    Bebo Maguire...

    Nananananananananananana

    And, of course:

    Bebo Maguire

    Your love is my only desire

    Bebo Maguire

    'Cos I need your love

  4. I'm guessing you actually mean Neil Lennon who got his head kicked in some time last year, as opposed to John Hartson who's currently in a coma after getting cancer treatment.

    Or do you want to kick in cancer victims?

    I quoted an Eyal Berkovic reference from someone else. Remember when John Hartson kicked Berkovic's head in?

    So, to answer your question, no - cancer victims want to kick in others, apparently.

    Radiohead - Nude

    "Don't get any big ideas

    They're not going to happen"

    And I'd like to steal this little piece of Germanic heaven from Hertha Berlin:

    Basically, anything totally inappropriate sounds good to me. The "duelling banjos" theme from Deliverance might be pretty raucous.

  6. We do need some new chants. Can't see that one catching on though....

    *dons thinking cap* (no pun intended)

    My favourite from recent years - "What's that coming over the hill, it's Ricky Foster, it's Ricky Foster...."

    The Foster one is mind-blowingly brilliant. It's just a shame that nobody's ever liked him enough for it to have caught on.

    Not for Aberdeen players, but I have some ideas. Examples:

    "Now that it's raining more than ever

    Know that we'll still have eachother

    Fabio Quagliarella

    Fabio Quagliarella, 'ella, 'ella

    Ey ey ey

    Fabio Quagliarella, 'ella, 'ella

    Ey ey ey ey ey ey"

    "You're everything I need and more

    It's written all over your face

    Baby you're Felipe Melo

    I pray you won't fade away

    Felipe Melo (Melo)

    Melo (Melo)

    Melo (Melo)

    Meeeloooooo"

    And, of course, "George Weah" to the tune of "Hey Ya" by Outkast.

  7. I think you're doing Cadamerteri a bit of a disservice there. While he's been in the wilderness for the past few years he's played at a lot higher level than Mackie and if he hadn't had personal problems could still have been playing in the EP. Needless to say there's been nobody in the EP banging down the doors at Pittodrie trying to get their hands on Mackie (well apart from his own fans). I'll be interested to see what Cadamarteri does thsi season.

    Yes, he's played in the Premiership, but that was 7 years ago. From his Wikipedia page:

    20022004 Bradford City 52 (5)

    2004 Leeds United 0 (0)

    20042005 Sheffield United 21 (1)

    20052006 Bradford City 39 (2)

    2006 Grays Athletic 1 (0)

    20062007 Leicester City 9 (0)

    2007 ? Doncaster Rovers (loan) 6 (1)

    20072009 Huddersfield Town 44 (5)

    Obviously I can't say with any sort of certainty that he won't score some goals for United, but I can say that if he'd signed for Aberdeen, Dons fans would be moaning and everyone else would be laughing. Maybe Sir Craig is the man to turn his career around though.

    You could well be right about Andy Webster. If he gets/stays fit he'll probably do a job for you.

  8. Replace the words "Tommy Wright" with "Darren Mackie" and I agree with you ;)

    Thing is, Wright and Higdon are basically the same type of player, whereas Mackie, like him or not, offers something different, and could play on the right of McGhee's front 3.

    Plus, Mackie's scoring record is better than Higdon's, despite having being played out wide quite a bit. Wright's record is a bit better, but he's never fit.

    To paraphrase Lady Gaga:

    I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me

    Darren

  9. Aye OK they're not world-beaters, but I'd take any number of those players for the Dons, namely Danny Cadermarteri, Andy Webster, Marvin Andrews, Ian Black, Paddy Cregg, Daniel Galbraith, Michael Fraser, Danny Grainger, Lee Mair, Michael Higdon, Paul Gallagher.... plus some of these foreign fuckers I've never heard of might turn out to be good signings.

    Have you had a look at Cadamarteri's scoring record? Darren Mackie's shits all over it. As for Andy Webster, we just don't know anything about him now. I also doubt the huns would've loaned him to us, and I doubt that he would have moved if it wasn't for his connections with Levein.

    There's no point looking at Hearts' signings because Hearts are morons with no long-term future. Black is a good player though.

    Have you seen much of Galbraith? I haven't; all I know is he's quality on Football Manager and is coming from Man Utd.

    Michael Fraser may be better than Bossu, but unless we could have punted Bertie, I didn't think another 'keeper was a priority even before we signed Nelson. What's the point in keeping Bateman hanging about the club if he's only good enough to be 4th choice? Same thing applies to Paul Gallacher.

    Grainger would fill up some space in the squad. But he's one of these ones that everyone would whine about if we actually signed - "Another fucking United reject", etc., but if we don't sign them then we'll whine anyway.

    As it stands, I wouldn't have minded keeping Lee Mair, for purely numerical reasons. I'm still confident we'll sign a centre back who is no worse than Mair. Not that that makes me feel good like.

    Higdon is better than Tommy Wright, but unless we could find someone to take Wright off our hands, I don't think we have room for another centre forward.
