  1. Not unfair in the slightest..Those who put their hands in their pocket and pay for season tickets should be rewarded with advance ticket sales for European games. They are the people keeping the club afloat with revenue during the close season. I applaud anyone on here who is a regular season ticket holder and hope that the club continue to reward their loyalty. These people are paying a couple of hundred quid for season books and they do that having no idea what players will be here next year some seasons never mind what European opposition they might get to see. I know some people cannot afford season tickets and as such they will have to wait until the public sale which again is fair gives them time to save up some cash to pay for the tickets. So I do not see any issues here at all. This particular topic raises its head every year when we are going for Europe (can't believe I am saying that..every year in Europe..!!) and everyone still ends up with a ticket if they want one. As for the poor opposition, maybe those teams fans are looking at us with the same thought. We haven't exactly set the heather alight with our European exploits. Be thankful we are in Europe and you are getting a chance to watch them despite who the opposition are because I can assure you it won't last forever.
  2. Well just goes to show we are doing extremely well on the youth front. Well chuffed as I thought it would be a few years still before we brought through some gems. However that is great news.
  3. 10 youngsters signing pro contracts. Utd certainly do have a great youth setup going on if they can sign so many young players they believe can make the grade. We had 3 or4 at most coming through. Not bad for a club our size and budget. I am enjoying the fact so many youngsters are starting to come through the ranks and all the mercenaries are being binned.
  4. Do you get to chuck Chick Young out the stadium..??
  5. I was one of those Melvin, I was dead against Sutton returning. I am glad McCall had more faith in Sutton than I did. I trust McCall now as he always seems to have the knack of picking the right player that fits his system. So I hope that giving Leitch some game time last season he has seen enough to reward him with a contract. Time will tell
  6. Hopefully See Lawson get some game time this year, will feel like a new signing when he gets on. Also, Anier getting the rest he needs to get rid of his shin splints problems and he will be fit and raring to go from the off. Can't wait to see Josh in action and Twarzik bringing some much needed composure to our defence. A lot of youth in that squad as well which bodes well for the future.
  7. Lost causes not my style
  8. Never a truer word said Yoshi .
  9. Yeah, we saw that with McManus. Our team spirit and the manager himself seems to draw decent players to the club who are willing to play for lower wages and I hope that continues. However, I still feel McCourt would be a wrong move. Bring on the youngsters with a smattering of auld heeds and we will be sorted for next season.
  10. In my own opinion Faddy was brought in with the hope that a good preseason and he would be flying. He had a great first season and looked a great prospect for the new season. That his fitness issues would be over. We took the gamble and it partly paid off. McCourt has never shown he has the fitness or likely to have the fitness to last in any game for any team. At least Faddy had the prospect of improving his fitness, McCourt never has. I couldn't care if McCourt was Pele he is not good to a team in our position to start offering a contract with our now precious budget who may give us 20-30 minutes here or there. If we had some hope that he could improve with a good preseason in his fitness and potentially last 90 minutes then fair enough. I get the fact that he can be an exciting player but like most teams we cannot afford that luxury on a part time basis anymore. He played 23 games for his last team of which he was a sub in 8 of them. Not a good enough return for me to gamble on a wage that could be better utilised. Clubs like ours need to learn the hard lesson that bringing on players is our only long term survival hope. I also like the way McCall is going about his business with the contracts. Learned his lessons from last year and crucial players are being signed back on and new ones already coming in early doors.
  11. Why the hell on an extremely tight budget would you even consider someone who can't play 45 minutes never mind 90 minutes or even debate how he can replace someone who we let go who also had fitness issues...We should be going nowhere near anyone who isn't 100% fit with a barge pole, especially guys with the worst fitness track record in the world allegedly... Any extra money that we have should be ploughed straight into the youth setup not unfit journeymen. The mind boggles with some posters on here.
  12. at least it keeps the players and more importantly the agents wage expectations at a reasonable level. If we had the previous TV money we used to have the wage demands would be double what they are at present.
  13. Nah he is more like this http://joyreactor.cc/post/1063502
  14. Right, we need to ditch half the team so we can get 2nd place again next year. We have to have a consistent approach, seems to work well for us.
  15. Well Well

    Aberdeen

    If it wasn't for two great last minute tackles by Hutch the last minute goal would be a consolation. He was a brick wall today
  16. As long as McCall isn't going anywhere first and foremost
  17. Got to agree, home strip is very nice but that away strip is horrible. What the heck made them vandalise the collar like that. Like something a 3 year old at nursery would make out of scrap patches
  18. Have you actually got a result correct yet this season
  19. The good thing is we need to win at Pittodrie so hopefully McCall just says fuck it lets go for the win and we get tore in about them. Would have been more nervous if all we needed was a draw.
  20. I blame Stuart McCall for all this success..ridiculous so it is, we should be in the lower leagues and don't get me started on Europe who really needs that anyway...sack the board, sack McCall bring back the doom and gloom
  21. any deals on Fibre Pro..?? I currently have fibre and want to upgrade to the top one
