Diesel Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 So how come the Dons went from being a super fit pre-season team 'as good as they have ever been' to only managing 60 mins before collectively hitting a wall?! I don't think the problem is physical fitness - in the two games I've seen, the team seemed to have switched off mentally in the 2nd half.Also, Tangoman seems to have no "Plan B".

calum Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Id likely lose a few quid but I'm trying to be an optimistic Aberdonian. Fechtin against centuries of local cognitive character development here...You read Calderwood having a go at Aberdonians in the P&J yesterday? "The real winners come from the other end."He could at least have the decency to do it in his fucking Daily Ranger column instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahahahaha!house points for joke of the day! not the best start for dunfermline but it is a marathon not a sprint. problem when you get relegated (and i should know supporting a team who are prone to regular relegation) everyone is out to beat you as your usually favourites to go straight back up.meanwhile in tinpot league land, cambridge can go top of the league tonight if we dispose of newly promoted farsley celtic at the abbey tonight. its all very well beating teams favoured for promotion as we have done but its these 'home bankers' we have to win if we are to put in any challenge this season. they'll come and defend and play for the point cheered on by about 20 away fans!

calum Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 What exactly does he mean by this?His point was that Aberdonians lack self-belief. He cited Severin as an example of why we should all have been born in central belt instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McStayYes, footballers are indeed a fairly thick bunch - especially some of the the fucking lu-lu's I played with and against over the years.The manager at one of my clubs (more clubs than Tiger Woods, me) was especially "erudite".Inspirational monologues such as....Pre match - "Ah wahnt 110% aff every een o' yiz or yiz kin fuck off"!Half-time - "Get it soartit oot at the back or yiz kin, kin, kin, fuckin' hingway....." o_O (still haven't worked that one out)Tactical - "Midfield - spread oot in a bunch", "Diesel, keep thae high ba's low" ...and regardless of what was happening on the pitch, the Big Man could be relied upon to shout "Howzay?" every 2 to 3 minutes (I belive it's the NE version of "Affside, Ref")God, I miss playing so much.

Plus he had the courtesy to donate half his appalingly low transfer fee to the youth team at Rugby Park before he left us for the Huns. So Boomer is OK with me.Gordon - Not much to do, but plucked the ball out of the air with ease. SolidAnderson - PishBrown - PishMiller - PishO'Connor - Fucking PishCaldwell - PishMcFadden - PishFletcher - Tried to play football, good, intelligent midfielderThe rest (I didn't have my specs so couldn't make them out) were probably Pish as well.McElevey (?) - Looked useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Boyd's weedgie-ism was fated for him I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Is anyone else more than a little bit worried about Brewster's imminent departure? He seems to be the only player at the club with a functioning brain at the moment... here's hoping Jimmy doesn't decide that Derek Young is an adequate replacement .
