Title: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: fatshaft on May 22, 2009, 09:56:50 AM Mark Kerr knocked unconscious, broken eye socket, and obviously out of the final game of the season, and been charged by police. Final nail in Tango's coffin?
http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/article2442244.ece (don't normally read the Sun, but P&J sport pages have crashed funnily enough) Quotes (and the story) taken from AFC Chat where news first broke. Quote ABERDEEN ace Mark Kerr has been charged by cops after an alleged mass street brawl involving several players. Midfielder Kerr, 26, also wound up in hospital with a suspected fractured eye socket — as a stag do for team-mate Gary McDonald, 27, descended into mayhem. It’s thought fellow Dons stars Stuart Duff, 27, Andrew Considine, 22, and Michael Paton, 20, were at the bash. But two members of the public were the only others charged. Last night, a club spokesman said: “If any of our players are found to have instigated any trouble, they will be dealt with severely.” The players were celebrating midfielder McDonald’s bash at the Priory nightclub in Aberdeen city centre when the troubled reportedly flared around 1.40am on Wednesday. Kerr — whose face can’t be shown for legal reasons — needed treatment for the eye injury that has ruled him out of Sunday’s SPL crunch match with Hibs. It’s a game Aberdeen need to win to qualify for Europe next season. The Dons spokesman said: “Players were out ahead of their day off on Wednesday and there was an incident in a club which spilled on to the street. “Mark received injuries which needed treatment in hospital and he will miss Sundays game against Hibs. “I can confirm he has been charged in connection with the incident.” Mike Wilson, owner of the Priory, told how punters had clashed with Kerr inside the club. He said: It’s fair to say Mark Kerr left willingly and his colleagues left with him. There was a gentleman who was put out after Kerr. His friends came out with him. A fracas ensued.” Kerr — who’d not long returned from suspension after two red cards — played in last Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Rangers with McDonald, Duff and scorer Paton. Last night, furious supporters bombarded footie message boards. One fan, using name Jaws, said: “Why have your stag night four nights before the end of the season? Potentially the biggest week of the season. Another, called Tommy, said: “The drinking culture at Pittodrie is pathetic.” London Scottish added: “Hardly the super-fit, healthy, professionals we want at this club.” Last night, a Grampian Police spokeswoman said: “Three males are to be reported to the procurator fiscal.” Kerr is scheduled to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today.

I'm not in any way deluded about Calderwood, who said anything about winning the league, how many Dons fans do you know thinks we should be wiining the league? We SHOULD be beating Queens Park, QoS, Dunfermline, Falkirk, ICT. We SHOULD be winning more than 2 out of the last 15 games, when Europe is on the line, and the quality in the SPL is as low as it has been for many a year. That's what we SHOULD be doing.

And yes it IS Calderwoods job to babysit them, he's the bloody MANager. This is ridiculous. So you're suggesting they aren't allowed to go out on the piss with their pals on their night off? Calderwood's job is to manage them when they are at training or at matches, they can do what they want on their time off. Mark Kerr is an idiot to have got involved in a fight and if it turns out he is to blame he should be punished but you can't stop the players going out on the off chance they'll get into a fight. Trying to blame Calderwood for this really is clutching at straws.

Yes we should be beating those teams most of the time but what team doesn't have slip ups? Man U got beat by Exeter, Chelsea got beat by Barnsley as did Liverpool, Celtic ICT. I agree we should have got to the Scottish Cup Final this season but not getting there is not reason enough to sack Calderwood. Who would you have instead? McGhee? He's shown he's a one season wonder and would do no better than Jimmy. Levein? No chance he'd leave Utd. I honestly can't see any available managers that would leave their club to come to a skint Aberdeen who fire their manager after losing one questionable game a season and taking us on the best European run since i was born.

Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: fatshaft on May 24, 2009, 11:12:42 AM youve obv no idea about football if you calderwood should be sacked LOL, said like a true Old Firm man. Both sets of supporters are more than glad to have Calderwood at the helm at Pittodrie, it just means one less team capable of giving them a hard time.Tell me this, if Tango is so good, why is it that when other jobs come up, he never gets a mention? Despite all the west coast media wanking on about how hard done by he is from th Dons support, when McLeish left, where was the clamour of JC for Scotland? I didn't hear it, in fact not a single voice put him forward, and yet AFC are meant to put up with his particular brand of tedious, defensive, losing football? Where are the shouts for JC for Rangers? Plenty want Walter out, and yet the obvious candidate, the man who has masterminded ABerdeen's "glorious" run of top six success is nowhere to be seen? Surely, I mean surely the most qualified for the job, because we're continually being told so from Glasgow!

gg JC Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: rossfourfive on May 25, 2009, 11:28:30 AM I think this is a big mistake and i can't see anyone coming in and doing any better than JC with fk all cash. I hope i'm proved wrong though.

Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: fatshaft on May 25, 2009, 03:02:48 PM Mark McGhee is a certainty for this job surely?

Could be him.Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: thetank on May 25, 2009, 03:06:43 PM gg aberdeen gtd to finish outside the top 6 next season.

Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: Scottish Dave on May 25, 2009, 03:39:06 PM lol might be going to celtic Id take him over Strachan any day Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: rossfourfive on May 25, 2009, 06:03:14 PM I honestly can't see McGhee doing any better than Calderwood did. But i also can't see us getting anyone better than McGhee. The board completely bottled it and caved into the minority of fans trying to get Jimmy out. Stewart Milne is a spineless prick and the sooner someone buys him out the better - can't wait until i make my millions.
Rumour is that Calderwood and co were paid £1m to release them from their contracts. Why not give them that to spend in the transfer market?? Now we have to probably pay someone else out of their contract to get them to Aberdeen and then give them some money to spend which will probably be less than £100k. I really hope we get a decent manager in and we get a good run in Europe and the cups but I can't see us bettering what Calderwood has done. Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: rossfourfive on May 25, 2009, 06:05:54 PM Mark McGhee is a certainty for this job surely? McGhhe then Black are favourites, but who knows. Laszlo let the cat out of the bag in his post match press conference before there was any word from Pittodrie, how did he know? Could be him.Really don't want Laszlo. He can barely speak English and his post match interviews are a farce. I like the fact we have the most Scottish players in our team in the SPL and if Laszlo comes in we'll just turn into Hearts which would probably force me to throw myself off a bridge. Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: pokerfan on May 25, 2009, 06:14:35 PM Sbragia any one?
Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: celtic on May 25, 2009, 06:16:16 PM Sbragia any one? Nope, job for life at Sunderland according to Quinn yesterday, mainly working behind the scenes. Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: Div on May 25, 2009, 07:19:25 PM Sbragia any one? Doesn't strike me as someone who relishes the limelight. Some guys are better as coaches than managers. The Aberdeen fan in my place was gutted they couldn't afford Strachan's wages!

I think I'd prefer McGhee tbh Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: Maxriddles on May 25, 2009, 10:45:36 PM I think Calderwood has done a decent job at the Dons but he probably has done as much as he can there. The problem for the Dons fans is that he's probably done as much there as anyone can. The days of Aberdeen challenging for the title are over, and over for good. The best the Don's can hope for in the current set up is the odd cup and third place in the league. I don't know if any Don's fans believe they will have days like they did in the 80s again or whether the desire is to be the third team in Scotland on a regular basis and close the gap a bit on the OF is their real aim.

No they don't, and yes it is.Changing the point a bit Aberdeen's first goal yesterday was pure com. One of Calderwood's many failings was that at the start of a season, his goal always seemed to be getting a top six finish, as if the artificial barrier put in place by the SPL somehow made this a success. What is wrong with starting the season looking to be third, and closing the gap on the OF from previous seasons, and looking to win a cup? But not Calderwood, how many times did he tell us that he had taken Aberdeen as far as he could, despite getting 3rd once in 5 seasons, and reaching absolutely zero cup finals? That is as far as Aberdeen can expect - seriously? And you wonder why so many Dons fans wanted him out?

The keeper is an idiot- he can move around the player quite easily to kick the ball- if Miller was to follow in that direction it would be a free kick and a booking for Miller but he doesnt-he turns his back on the goalkeeper Title: Re: Aberdeen players in nightclub rumble/hospital Post by: fatshaft on May 27, 2009, 08:51:21 AM By Blatantly obstructing the Goalkeeper a foul would be given but I dont think miller is doing that-he is allowed to stand his ground and turns away as the keeper is about to hit it. That's how I understand it too. If Miller had made any movement in the direction of Kalamity it is a free kick, he in fact does the opposite.The keeper is an idiot- he can move around the player quite easily to kick the ball- if Miller was to follow in that direction it would be a free kick and a booking for Miller but he doesnt-he turns his back on the goalkeeper |
