But we beat the mighty Brechin 1-0 last night. :D

Poor result, but I just can't get worked up about pre-season.

Dons friendly crowd trouble fears


Aberdeen's friendly against Go Ahead Eagles in Netherlands may be moved from Saturday to Friday amid police fears of crowd trouble.

Concerns were raised following trouble at a game last Saturday involving ex- Manchester United defender Jaap Stam against former club Zwolle.

Dons manager Jimmy Calderwood said he hoped the game would be played.

"Both teams want the game played in Terwolde, which is about five miles south of Deventer," he added.

Calderwood said it would be a pity if the friendly was scrapped amid fears of crowd trouble.

"It's not definite that it's Friday yet," he said. "It might not go on at all.

"Both teams want the game to be played in a place called Terwolde, which is about five miles south of Deventer. All the old Ajax boys were up and there was a lot of trouble with Ajax supporters who were up for the weekend

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood

"There were big problems at Jaap Stam's last game against his old Zwolle team. It was sold-out, there were about 12,000 people there.

"All the old Ajax boys were up and there was a lot of trouble with Ajax supporters who were up for the weekend.

"That's the same police force as they have in Deventer and they had some trouble last year with the Go Ahead fans."

Calderwood said Go Ahead Eagles were hoping to find another location for the game to be played.



We've got the Dutch running scared! :D

as i said before
personally as a Hearts fan it is made all the sweeter,since our owner Mr Romanov owns the bank that sponsors us both and he has an interest in Kaunus which is basically our feeder club. the media here in scotland absolutely hate romanov and take every opportunity to slag off lithuianian footballers and Hearts.
romanov himself does tend to say some foolish things but the vitriol with anything he says is blown way out of proportion and the simple fact of the matter is he says a lot of what people are already thinking regarding the favourable treatment of the bigot brothers by the SFA and their ref's.

so for all that.... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Walter Smith,Barry Ferguson,Allan McGregor,Terry Butcher,Derek Johnston,Chick Young,Queen Elizabeth III,David Murray,My Mate Mikey.......YOUR BOYS TOOK ONE HELL OF A BEATING

I'm pleased to report that Rangers are still crap.

We were poor and still gave them a game, albeit a game of spectacularly low quality.


The idiots have spent the whole summer signing players to play in central areas that they have no width and therefore no service to the forwards. They played Kenny Miller LM today.

Kris Boyd looks overweight and disinterested.

great to see teh forces of darkness not having it all their own way for once, terrible match but killing myself when the beasley goals was chopped off!

on another note, St Mirren are the worst footballing team in a terrible league,for the umpteenth time in the last couple of years they came to tynie intent of simply sitting back,kicking the shit out of Hearts players and nicking a goal. for once they got penalised for their persistent fouling and we should have won by a barrow load of goals

Rangers looked good in the first half in midfield with Thomson, Mendes and Davis. But like you said they have absolutely no width (although to be fair Aberdeen didn't really have any either). Second half they were awful, with Aberdeen coming closer to scoring (apart from the goal incorrectly chopped off).

Boyd has always been overweight and disinterested, and can only score against crap teams.

I can't believe how stupid Walter Smith's signings have been 3 strikers signed for over £7m and how many start upfront today.....NONE. Who comes on to replace Novo?Darcheville. So £7m spent but same duds still playing. It's as though Smith thought to himself how can I make Kenny Miller even worse and decided to play him on the left wing.

If Rangers don't win the league this season Smith will surely be hounded out.

Walter Smith has only made signings in an area were the Gers didn't necessarily need improvements, I know a few Gers fans and they want Smith out.

How did the people take the Cueller transfer?

Not well, most of my friends are Rangers fans and they were up in arms over the sale of Cuellar. But were mainly annoyed with the chairman Sir David Murray who is thought to be greedy and selling rangers best players without buying ones of similar quality.

But I think the signings of Mendes and Davis have calmed them down a bit. But again Smith has signed 3 centre-mids when they already have Thomson and Ferguson. IMO there really is no need to sign Davis when they signed Mendes. So Smith will clearly play him out on the right which isn't his position.

Why not sign one good striker instead of 3 average ones and a proper right mid instead of Davis.

tbh i am rather confused by rangers fans attitude towards murray,the man bankrolled years of success,wrote off millions of debt and continues to back every manager they ahve...yet he is a greedy bastard who is selling rangers down the river

these guys need a reality check,pre-murray era they were playing to 6k fans and a couple of guide dogs while dundee united and aberdeen were winning championships.
the mentality of those that frequent castle Greyskull is beyond me.

as for smith,yeah it seems like he watched their european campaign that called out for 1 good striker and a n attacking midfielder and settled for 17 shite strikers and a 165 average midfielders

They looked good in the first half because they had an extra man in midfield (I can't believe Tango didn't do anything to try and remedy this) and we didn't close them properly. In the second half we tightened up a bit and got in their faces more.


I is incredible how short the memory of huns is. Murray has given them heaps of success over the years, as has Walter Smith. Smith is under some pressure due to losing to Kaunas, but Murray won't sack him unless they fall a fair distance behind Celtic.

St Mirren have always been a horrible team. Hopefully they will get relegated.

How are Hearts looking this season? Capable of a serious challenge for third or just going to implode again?
