Europa league qualifiers


Recommended Posts

Burnley have just paid £15M for a defender from championship side Middlesbrough ( who I’ve never heard of ) puts into perspective what Aberdeen were up against. 

Edited to say I’ve heard of Middlesbrough but not the defender 😀

:lol:

That's the thing, Burnley had their THIRD choice goalkeeper playing for them last night.

A 34 year old Danish International.

You should have done!  Gibson has been called up to the England squad, has played in the EPL and was linked to several big moves before this one.  He's not exactly unknown, however your general point is correct.  Aberdeen's record fee remains Paul Barnard from sometime last century. 

I'm sure if Aberdeen had a fraction of that sort of money they could get a half decent striker and a bit more depth and not only  beat Burnley but give Celtic a run as well.

Burnley is the bowels of the feckin universe. Any sheep making the trip should be prepared for bother.

I have some experience of Burnley. It's a bit of friendly advice, either take it or leave it. 👍

Thank you. Appreciate that.

(I have some experience of travelling with Aberdeen fans.)

We'll be fine.

Please don't take anything written on Aberdeen forums as representative of the Aberdeen support. Especially Afc Chat, which is populated either completely by trolls, or is a shocking indictment of the lack of mental health care in Scotland.
 
This was my personal favourite comment :lol:

Thought I'd do the decent thing and quote myself from a few weeks ago.

I got that spectacularly wrong. Fair play to Aberdeen. Outstanding effort over the two legs and unfortunately just came up a little short.

Currently dining on a very large portion of humble pie.

You have always been and remain a gentleman.

Aberdeen slightly unfortunate but didn't do enough to go through. Burnley were there for the taking though and if Aberdeen had a manager with even a modicum of attacking creativity, they would have went through. 

Aberdeen have the same manager that got a clean sheet and all three points at Celtic Park the last recent visit.

Was there any Hun style fighting at Burnley the other night or was that poster who predicted a riot a slavering cunt?

No, no fighting.

I haven't met 'Slasher' yet but that would seem a very harsh assessment.

Can't argue with that.

(I'm still making plans for Sunday Chris, but if there's an opportunity to buy you a pint after the Sevco match then I'd be happy to do so. Flying out the next day.)

I'm pleased the Burnley tie went off well. Most Aberdeen fans seem to have headed straight for the cricket club which was the smart move. If you read all of the thread above though there are reports of some scuffles and coin throwing by Aberdeen fans? So maybe not all the angelic love in being painted.

Nonetheless the fans and the team gave it a right good go in the main. It'll be interesting to see if they carry that forward to tomorrow's game or whether it'll be the usual 'shite yar breeks' effort they normally reserve for the visit of Der hun!

I’m not 100% what I’m doing yet, but I’ll probably be in the Bon Accord GC afterwards as I’ll have the wee man there. More than welcome to come in past if time allows you :ok:

Loads of Dandies in the town center drinking in the same pubs as the Clarets.

No, not perfect, but overall excellent.

Extremely pleased that we gave a good account of ourselves and Scottish football by not losing either leg over the 90 minutes.

Hopefully it'll be difficult to lose similar to the 10 points we did last season.
