Gordon Strachans Golden Notebook: Aberdeen
LOTW's man "in the know" was struggling this week after bribing his way out of Russia gaining access to the inner sanctum of CP in his unnatural quest to obtain Kenny Miller's underpants was proving difficult.
Now, Mrs man "in the know" was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, when she met Mr man "in the know" and also when she met an exurbanite blond hair chappie, who was with a tall grumpy looking Eastern European and a baldy Dane.
When Mrs man "in the know" asked why the blond hair chappie was full of the joys and the other two were looking like they were being faced wie a trip to Coventry or worse Birmingham. The blond haired chappie produced the fabled golden notebook and his joy made sense..he was no longer facing a trip to the far football outposts of nowhere-ville he was going to the far reaching outpost of the "deen".
Will he play is up to oor Gordon. The chances are we wil be cooling his boots on the bench, again, where he could be joined by the other gallus young un Aiden McGeady. After the performance of Zico Hartley in midweek and the fact this is another tough away game, young Aiden may be deemed a luxury too many wie Nakamura a certain starter.
Oor defence now picks itself due to lack of full back options and the must for the pairing of Mick and JFK to grow and develop. The full backs being ropey and the lack of cover we we get from wide areas means that we are letting teams fire in crosses to easily. This steams right back to the Newcastle pre-season game and one, which the two competitive goals we have lost this season have been from cross balls.
Even though Aberdeen have had a poor start to the season, their game against Hearts last week would have got fitbaw hauled before the high court for cruelty to the paying public, going to Aberdeen has been a difficult fixture since Tango and Sash have taken over. We huvnae lost many games but oor classic performances have been few and far between.
After the grueling trip we have had during the week, the fact that we spent a lot of the game chasing and harrying, the plastic pitch and the normal dip after European nights means that i feel we will need to be quite happy wie a decent result rather than a performance.
So to compensate for that here is a classic beating of the sheep, and watching this and a certain goal still makes the hairs on the back of ma neck stand up.
Forza

That`s them top on points, so it`s a guid time to move up to 2nd place. It will be tough tomorrow but the Bhoys can do it. Russell Anderson gave away a penalty today as Sunderland fell with a bang.
It`s been wet but restful today.
Thinking of tomorrow, cotb!
I listened to their game today and while it's always impressive to score seven goals, falkirk had their chances and seem to collaspe in the last 10 mins.
so the scoreline was flattering...but they do seem to create a lot of chances or maybe falkirk just conceed a lot of chances?
Hopefully the manager`s notebook has the plan to beat Aberdeen today. Maybe they`ll give David Begg a rest today on Radio Scotland. I`m sure he adds to my anxiety. A couple of times last week I couldn`t be sure that the Celts had scored. He was too disappointed to actually say,`Goal`. Hopefully the commentator today has the same dilemma.
Come on Celtic!
Think the manager likes to leave a lot up to the players according to the interviews he has given to the Sundays.
Unsure how much of that is bravado and maybe trying to put the blame onto the players as i'm sure he puts them out wie a template to follow and tactics to adhere too.
Having listened to Radio Tuetcher yesterday, i understand your frustration. The commentary on the r*ngers was bemusing to say the least.
Thing is the fact that Falkirk had gave them a decent fist of a game, that and Cousins was deemed as lazy as Boyd all points made during commentary were forgotten when Broadfoot scored the second deflected goal of the game.
European cup, League, Scottish...boat race...Wallie and Ally will lead them to the lot..
3 games domestically, all against bottom six teams, with two at home and in Europe hardly playing teams that have been or will be in the foreseeable setting the heather a light is not a good yardstick.
Let's forget aboot that, mon the hoops in the rainsoaked burgh of the deen
Half time and I`ve got Radio Aberdeen on. It would be nice to have a goal or two to cheer me up. According to Joe Miller and Billy Dodds Aberdeen are closing the Celts down without a response as yet. Caldwell?
Great goal by Miller! Aye which one, was it 2-2 or 1-3?
The answer was the right one. That was the best moment of the weekend!
