Dundee v Aberdeen Match Review Show.

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:40]Your place took a power to give [music] up faith. But we stood tall. Let them blam away. The northern [music] lights showed us the way. No crown was handed.

[00:00:56]No [music] easy quest.

[00:01:00]Alex gave [music] us two stars yesterday at D Park. It just was a typical performance of what has been a season to forget.

[00:01:18]The headlines are quite telling. Steven Robinson in his post-match interview coming out yesterday knowing and believing that his team might have got beaten yesterday. This is how the table ended up. Aberdine after a simply depressing campaign finished their season in ninth place. Hello everybody. A very warm welcome to Alibbe EBTV this Monday night, the day after we finished season 2020 4 20 no 2025 2026.

[00:01:54]Welcome to what is the beginnings of a new studio and a new look. So, the old studio cameras didn't work, software didn't work, Wi-Fi didn't work, microphones didn't work, lighting didn't work. It's a little bit like my team this season.

[00:02:16]It just didn't work. So, here we are.

[00:02:19]So, the aim over the next few weeks and few months is to just improve what this looks like. This is just the beginnings.

[00:02:28]This is just for me to basically get on air because I've been extremely frustrated that I've not been able to bring you shows since the review of the Dundy United game. So, thank you for your patience. Thank you for hanging about and at long last we are back. I just wish it was under happier circumstances and that we could end the season talking positively, but I just can't see any positives. I have to be brutally honest. Andrew Budge and I had a really good chat today which I'll bring to you a little bit later. We're also going to hear from the manager what he what he said after the game. But this is your opportunity, as it always is on the review show, to come on, have your say, and tell us what you think because we are facing a crucial summer.

[00:03:15]And I have the fear about the summer because I'm not sure from a financial position, we are able to offload some of the players that we have who are currently on long contracts and on big money.

[00:03:32]I'm not sure how we're going to be able to offload them. And I'm not sure that the model that worked three or four years ago that is now completely broken. I don't think there's anybody within our current squad who anybody is going to buy like the types of your Hilbert Ramadanis, your Bojan Mioskis, your Jukes, these type of guys. There's nobody in our squad, not a single player. So, the football operation department have got an awful lot of bridges to build this summer. A lot. Because this could be one of the most crucial summers in the club's history because my god did we come close. We finished on the same points as Kil Marik. Kil Marik with the greatest of respect. So, come on and have your say. Let's just start recapping yesterday's game. If you can face it, if you can stomach it. So the manager made five changes to the side that lost to St. Marin. So Nick Suman came in goal for his debut. Lyall Cameron returned. Jack Mil returned.

[00:04:39]Katin Kartensson got a rare start and Topy also came in. And a a interesting point of interest was that Antipella Versa was not even in the squad yesterday.

[00:04:55]Here are your match stats. And again, it just really doesn't make for good reading, does it? They had six shots on target. They had 20 touches inside our box. We did not force their goalkeeper to make a single save in the game despite us scoring the two goals, which were our only efforts on goal. Before we get to you guys, a gentle reminder that Alibbe ABTV has always been supported by [music] Saltire Energy, the global market leader in specialist drilling equipment rental. Not just that, they offer a number of services, rentals, torquing, testing, refurbishment, and welding as well. So, if you are in the oil and gas services and you're looking for any of those services, I suggest you go to Saltire Energy. Right, let's get you on to see how you're all doing tonight. I hope everything is working this evening. I really, really hope it is all working.

[00:05:55]Right, let's just refresh that very quickly.

[00:06:01]Oh, and there's a lot of you on tonight, which is good to see.

[00:06:05]And so far, it looks like we're okay.

[00:06:10]Right, let's just pause that.

[00:06:13]Bring that down. Get that bar all the way to the top.

[00:06:18]Okay. David Horn is here. Wishing you a good evening. As is Maximus. As is F1 Edits. As is Neil. As is Scott Bowie, he says. Well, another season over as Dream Sang. Things can only get better. Well, they will, won't they? He asks. Suz is here. Greg Duncan is here. Well, that's it done for another season, he says.

[00:06:41]Paul Donaldson is here. A miserable end to a miserable season. The pace of the match was so leisurely it looked like a lot of the players were already on holiday mode. Christine is here. What a very disappointing end to the season yesterday. Let's hope next season is so much better. Ben Finn is here wishing you a good evening as is Gordon Keith Richie. Same story again. Time to rebuild and get back to basics. Graham rate says Steven Robinson looked about 10 years older than when he first joined the club. We're going to play a snippet from his interview which Andrew Budge and I discussed. I think it was very telling. Very telling. Uh David Gold is wishing you all a good evening. He is absolutely joyful that the season is over. Oh words to that effect. [laughter] Elfie Delo says good evening everybody.

[00:07:36]So glad that's over. Anyone else feel like it's Groundhog Day? Kaisa says quite simply, "Let's rejoice. It's finally over."

[00:07:47]Callum Richie says, "I noticed how half the team went straight down the tunnel yesterday and didn't acknowledge the crowd, which was disappointing."

[00:07:56]Uh Wendy's here. How we doing, Wendy?

[00:07:58]Happy birthday. Scott Bowie says, "Ryan Duncan away announced on Insta." Thank you, Scott. Let's have a quick check on that.

[00:08:07]Oh, we do like a bit of breaking news on the old show, don't we? Right. Let's see. Let's see.

[00:08:16]Apple Dean.

[00:08:25]Uh, is it on his own Insta fella? Because I can't see anything on the official club site at the moment, but maybe it's on his um his personal one. Uh David Mlennon says, "I don't have to think about AFC until the League Cup qualifiers. Yes, we were so bad. We're back qualifying again." You and Sutherland said, "Is anyone else unhappy that we are being conditioned to believe that three windows are necessary to transform the team?" Motherwell and Harts did it in one window. Pull your finger out and get on with it. Mark Smith says, "Time for a huge shakeup. We need two central defenders not frightened to head a football. Current squad need not apply. Edward Ralph says, "Do you know if we actually have scouts that actually go out and watch players in game situations?" We do, fella. We do. Right. We shall come back to your comments in just a moment. But before we do that, here is that telling interview from the manager who spoke after the game yesterday.

[00:09:30]>> I think the last five minutes just round it off. Um how Aberdine have been all season how we've been um when we needed to step up when we needed to be strong when we need to organize speak um when you need leaders then it just wasn't there and um I'm not surprised by that I knew the level of task that we faced when we came in I was extremely worried after the first week two weeks um when I seen the the lack of core at the football club we managed to drag them over the line um as a group so I have to credit them for that but um certainly I'm not going to insult any fans intelligence to know that there has to be changes and As I say, that's been the story of the season. Um, you can set up whatever way you want. You can zone all part, zone, man mark, whatever it is.

[00:10:09]You have to have people to step up, run ahead the ball. Um, and we haven't had that all season, you know, and it's very very difficult to change that unless you change the personnel. And as I say, the last 5 minutes, you know, you you have to expect to lose the game because of the lack of people standing up. And that has been, as I say, a microcosm of the the whole season in 5 minutes. And um, it has to change. Will it change in one window?

[00:10:32]I'd like it to but um unfortunately players have long contracts so some will come back um some will leave naturally and um when they do come back then there's a lot of work to be done and they have to come up to the levels that we expected at Aberdine and what I expect the manager speaking to red TV yesterday I don't know what you think but I thought he looked a little bit shell shocked yesterday just a little bit and it's really interesting to note that he said just after a couple of weeks he's already noticed the mess that we're in. It's very telling, I think. Right, let's get Andrew Budge on so that we can have a we discussion with Andrew Budge.

[00:11:10]Um, so we didn't overly analyze the game. We just kind of looked back on the season, where things went wrong, what has to happen going forward. Um, the interview is nearly 9 minutes long, so I really hope you enjoy it. Welcome back to the show, Andrew Barge.

[00:11:26]Hello, mate. Thanks ever so much for jumping on as always. You keeping fine?

[00:11:30]Yeah, good. Thanks, Hie.

[00:11:31]>> Good, good. Okay, just give before we get into it, just give us your general impressions of yesterday's performance and result.

[00:11:41]>> Oh, um, it's hard to know where to start to be honest. It kind of had like a end of season feel about it, didn't it? Like two teams with not much to play for at all. I mean, still money on the line, but not a huge amount to play for. And again, we just didn't really turn up. We kind of had spells in the game where we looked okay, but for the vast majority of it, I thought Dundy looked better than us. Um, I thought it kind of looked like our entire season in a bit of a microcosm like the manager said after the game, just so fragile at the back, giving away set play goals again, looking pretty blunt going forward and just a team that was unable to do the the basics to be honest. Um, pretty fitting end to the season to be honest after what we've just endured. So, like we were saying earlier, I think, thank god the season's over. We can draw a line under it.

[00:12:31]Um, Steven Robinson's postmatch, I thought it was quite telling, I've got to be honest. Um, players who I think he gave them a we shot yesterday and I think the players that he did, I don't think will have filled him with any confidence whatsoever.

[00:12:51]>> No, not at all. Um, I mean, it was hard to disagree with anything that he said, to be honest. He was giving them some hard truths that I think they've really needed for quite a long time. Um, he's not shied away from really sort of going for the players and giving them these hard truths since he's been here, but I mean, it just doesn't really seem to be landing with him for a lot of these players. Um, it was interesting that he specifically mentioned sort of players on longer term deals.

[00:13:16]>> So, I mean, if you're hearing that and you're a player, you kind of kind of work out who he's meaning. Um but like even not to take particular players out but I feel like Milanovic and and Balovic coming on late in the game and just not really making an impact. It's kind of just like as I said earlier emblematic of just like where our season's been with just our transfers not working. That's that's between them.

[00:13:39]Uh the two of them, Gampy Carton, needed okay, but between the four of them, that's probably what tops over a million pounds and nothing's just really worked. And we've got these boys on long-term deals now that it's going to be either you've got to, you know, give them the time and and play them more and have to potentially go through some of these frustrations of how inconsistent they might be or try to move them on. But it's going to be difficult when a lot of them have got these really long-term contracts plus players coming back like the likes of Ambrose and Yankee. Yeah, it's it's a lot to I think the the entire footballing department's got a lot of work to do this summer in terms of how they move players on, how we get value for them and and who they find as replacements. But yeah, it the squad really was looking pretty poor by the end of it last yesterday and it it was pretty alarming to be honest going to the the summer break.

[00:14:29]>> Yeah, I think the football operation department has a lot to answer for I have to be honest. Okay. So, what I what I've done is I've compiled a list of players who I think we should keep. Um, it's not a very long list.

[00:14:47]>> Maybe a short list. [laughter] >> I thought Suman did well yesterday, so I'd keep him. I'd also keep Barat Vite.

[00:14:53]Um, Mitchell Frame, Dylan Lobin, Gavin Malloy, Max Kirsta, Jack Mil, Nikki Develin, Kevin Nisbbit. I would definitely give Shinsza another contract.

[00:15:06]Um, and that's your lot.

[00:15:10]>> The for the forward is is the real Darth and sort of like forward attacking options there, isn't there? Like when you look at it from the players that we've lost in recent years like your sort of Mioskis and Dukes know we're going a bit further back there. Um, we've lost some soccer, we've lost some decent enough strikers and and forward players, and there's really not many left outside of this, but Keskin and I've really tried to keep the faith with like like I said before, Mal have really just struggled to make an might get a deal, but again, he could be pretty frustrating at the best of times.

[00:15:45]Lazatic is on the way out. Like there's there's a lot of spots there that need replacing. Um, I think I kind of agree with a lot of your list there. Um, I think I think Shen is an interesting one. By the sounds of what the manager was saying, there was just a complete lack of leaders overall in the dressing room and then on the pitch yesterday given how we sort of kind of capitulate to be honest from winning at halftime and to lose that game which should have been >> easy enough to see out. It does sound there's a lot of sort of leaders missing in that team. So whether you would just give Shiny another deal just for his hopefully his impact in the dressing room. Um Robinson was saying he was one of the best captains he's worked with.

[00:16:25]So yeah, it's hard to see if he's going to stay if he's going to go back to Cali or not, but he feels like he should he should be involved in some capacity. But yeah, there's a lot to do there and there's even players we've just not even seen much of like like how is he going to be when he comes back from the appearances that I saw with him. I thought he looked good, but >> we've just got a lot of players who are really quite fragile. Um, as harsh as it sounds, and I heard the manager bemoning that the other day, our players just aren't very robust. If you look at the likes of Gampy, you might get two games on, two games off. Um, Malloy's injured quite frequently. Kister's injured again.

[00:16:59]>> Yeah.

[00:17:01]>> I mean, the best ability is availability as they say like if if you can't if you can't play consistently, then they're not going to be much use to the team. So there's a real mix of players there who are unfortunately injury pro or just not really delivering which is a really sort of sad state of affairs, isn't it? M because what again it's so interesting reading comments on social media is that if we're not able to ship out some of these players who are on long contracts and from what I understand are on very good money um we could be left with another situation with a squad which is overenhanced is bursting at the seams yet has not improved the squad in any way shape or form.

[00:17:48]And if we don't get a decent start to next season, this is going to get very messy.

[00:17:55]>> Yeah, absolutely. When you look at the amount that's been spent on that squad, it's such like it's so expensively assembled.

[00:18:03]>> I mean, the return on what we've spent in the past sort of 3 years, I feel like we had a one or two windows where we seem to make a decent return on certain players like Mioski, Duke, Ferguson, Ramadani. We had like a decent period where we were making good investments and we've just never got that sort of initial sort of inflow of cash we got from that. We've just never managed to find better players to the whole idea of this sort of model is that like once you sell that first crop of players, you've got a better more money to buy a better base of player that you can just keep incrementally building on the level of talent you can get. And we've just it feels like we've just wasted so much in the past couple of seasons. I completely agree that it'll be really a big concern is that I feel like it's a squad that doesn't really sort of fit the image or like the mold of what the manager wants either. Um, this again comes down to the whole idea of us we're meant to have some sort of overarching strategy of who we sign. We sign profiles of players in certain positions that are that will be sort of suitable for us regardless of the manager because we have supposedly some sort of philosophy or strategy. So if a manager changes, you're still sort of playing in a similar way. So the players shouldn't have to be a huge overhaul of players every single time you change manager.

[00:19:15]But this hasn't came to fruition at all.

[00:19:17]We're jumping between different styles of play between the likes of Tene and into Robinson. So the players that Ten has signed are obviously not going to be hugely um fitting for what the the needs of the manager are now. Um >> yeah, it's it's it's a lot of work to do in the summer. Um, and I just hope we kind of are more on the ball cuz I think we went into the start of this season completely undercooked even looking back then it was sort of Armstrongness but and Carlson being signed on pretty much the last day. I mean if we didn't get them in the door like I mean it would have been a team full of just like youngsters really that we signed. It's it's absolutely crazy how we've approached sort of squad building in the past couple of seasons.

[00:19:58]>> Yeah. I just hope that they get a decent preseason under their belt. They're not going to have much time because obviously we'll have the League Cup group stages which I think begins in July. So, uh, which I'm actually grateful for because I think that helped us the last time around. But mate, listen, I just wanted to to finish off by saying thank you so much for all your contributions this season. I'm really really grateful and I'm delighted that you're you're still here and contributing to the show and you've definitely helped enhance the show. So, thank you very much, mate. And hopefully we'll see you again very soon.

[00:20:28]>> Yeah. Thanks, Al. It's been a pleasure.

[00:20:30]>> All right, mate. Speak to you soon.

[00:20:31]>> Speak soon.

[00:20:32]>> Tada.

[00:20:34]>> Andrew Budge, what an absolute star.

[00:20:36]Guys, just before we move on, can I just uh gently remind you if you don't mind to continue to like the show if you're enjoying it so far. Keep your comments coming in. There's loads. I'm going to try and get through them. And if you wouldn't mind, I'd be very grateful if you would please consider subscribing to the channel. Doesn't cost you anything.

[00:20:54]And also, I think it'll help with these pesky ads. Right, here are some stats and it's absolutely dreadful and it makes for horrible reading. Aberdine suffered their 20th league defeat against Dundee, the club's most defeats in a campaign since 2011.

[00:21:14]During this time, Abodine have used 37 different players under three different managers. For a second successive season, Abberine finished bottom of goals conceded from set pieces table, 22 in total. And Aberdine have now not won any of their final league matches for the past six seasons.

[00:21:45]I think that just about sums it all up.

[00:21:50]For the second successive season, we cannot defend for toffee.

[00:22:01]It's embarrassing.

[00:22:03][snorts] It's absolutely embarrassing.

[00:22:05]All right, very quickly, Ryan Duncan.

[00:22:08]So, um, so you guys have very kindly sent me the link to his Instagram page.

[00:22:18]Sir, my thanks to Richard Wilkinson for doing just that. So, he says, um, after 13 years at Aberdine, my time has come to an end. I would like to thank everyone involved, for my teammates, past and present, staff, and of course, the fans. Growing up, it was always my dream to play for Aberdine, and I am so proud to have achieved this. I have made memories that will live with me forever.

[00:22:45]But it's now time for a new and exciting chapter, and I'm sure you will all join me in wishing Ryan the very best of luck for the future.

[00:22:56]Right, I'm going to try and get through as many of these as I can, but there's a lot, an awful lot, because you guys are really not happy. Uh, Greg Duncan says, "A very, very interesting summer ahead.

[00:23:06]It reminds me a lot of the season after Roy Aken and getting rid of all the European duds for any price. But where's all our money gone from our sales and DNA? It's gone on ridiculously long contracts with overinflated wages.

[00:23:23]That's where it's gone. Thank goodness the season is finished. Time for a massive clear out. The defense an absolute mess. Liam Morrison, one of the worst defenders we've ever had. Jack Mil also overrated. Harsh but true. Uh Lean Dunbar says, "Good evening everybody. Thank god that's over. Don't remember being so glad to see the back of a season."

[00:23:46]David called says, "There is one positive. At least we're not getting beat for a few weeks." [laughter] Elfie Delo says, "Robinson stated that the fitness levels of the players was not good enough. I think we could all see that throughout the season."

[00:24:06]Uh, David John says he's not convinced there's going to be a mass clear out.

[00:24:10]John Grant says, "All I can say is thank God that season is finally finished and we are safe. I reckon getting beaten by the Pars in the cup saved us from a relegation playoff fight. massive job to do.

[00:24:25]Oh my lord, there are so many of you on.

[00:24:29]Okay, Cameron Young says, "Hi, Ally. Had a brilliant day down at Dens despite the result. Really hope the rumors about Shinsza signing a new two-year deal are true. Looking forward to summer transfer window opening." Um, from what I understand, there's offers on the table, but the two parties are here and way over there.

[00:24:57]Yeah.

[00:24:59]Kaiser says, "Let's be honest, Jack Mil is murder. Can't defend, can't pass. He has absolutely no composure. Massive improvement needed from him." Kaiser says Paul Donaldson worrying to see Max Kusta stretch it off again. Hoping that the club will give us an update on that soon. and obviously wishing him well as well. H Stephen Cowi says, "Worst performance in 15 years, least points, weakest team in 25 years, no away wins in 2026." Apart from that, a very good evening, Alli, Steven says. [laughter] [snorts] Oh, a lot of you are so angry.

[00:25:36]So, so angry. Erica Mitchell says, "Thank God it's over. Dire season." Sue says, "Maybe why our manager was looking at players in the Championship looking for bargains.

[00:25:47]Nom says there has to be a clear out.

[00:25:50]Kaiser says we basically need a whole new squad. For all the praise Kusta has got, he has also been at the heart of a terrible defense that can't deal with anything.

[00:26:00]Right. I'm going to just jump down to the bottom.

[00:26:08]David Christie says this has to be the final se this has to be the final season we finish in the bottom half of the table. The board have run out of chances now. They need to get a grip.

[00:26:21]Sequentia is reminding us all that in the interview Steven Robinson mentioned things being very wrong at the core of the club which he thinks is very interesting. Jim Balf is here. How we doing Jim? The problem with Dave Cormack's model is that as soon as you sell a few players at a profit, you'll be paying more for players of lower quality. Everyone else can see how much you're getting.

[00:26:44]>> [clears throat] [laughter] >> Edward Ralph says, "Alli, I think you should make ABTV merchandise, t-shirts, and a we Alibbe doll. My wife would buy that and stick pins in it." [laughter] Oh, dude. Uh, sorry that this microphone is I'm going to try and that's something I need to sort out. The microphone's a wee bit low. Hence why I'm kind of down a wee bit because the this new desk setup that I've got is a wee bit low.

[00:27:29]Uh, David Methin says, "Players will be moved on. We are not big payers compared to clubs in other countries and if they are told they won't be playing regular football for us, their agents will get them a move." Well, I hope they do, mate.

[00:27:44]Right, we're going to just, you know, just we're going to have a nice time now because this is something that, you know, is very close to my heart and something that I really want to tell you about. Um, because you know all about my sponsor Finn Mory. Well, they've done something quite remarkable today in Abedine because it turned out to be a phenomenal day. Earlier today, Neil Simpson, John Hwitt, Jim Leighton, Paul Luri, Richard Gordon, Peter Davidson from the Community Trust, alongside a host of Abaldine Football Club staff and fans joined singer Terry McDermott and his band at Captain Tom's to record a crowd vocal for Two Stars on His Chest.

[00:28:29]You know, the theme tune at the beginning of the show. So that then after they did that the whole group then headed to Padre to sing the song live.

[00:28:38]What happened next was absolutely how can I put this special very very special. It's one of those moments where you just get goosebumps. Now here's a little snippet from today's filming and the full production is going to be coming very soon on finnmmy.com and we'll also play it here on AlibbeTV.

[00:29:00]But today, Terry McDermott and his band sang a little acoustic set in one of the boxes for Two Stars on His Chest. Ju just take a we listen.

[00:29:11]Goosebumps gave us [singing and music] two stars.

[00:29:27]Stand free [singing] wherever you may be.

[00:29:34]Stand free wherever you may be.

[00:29:39][music] >> How good was that? That's just a tease.

[00:29:46]If you don't know who Terry McDermott is, originally from Pit Med, worked at the football club for many years, but was and is one of the most outstanding vocal talents to come out of Scotland, if not the UK. A few years ago, he finished runners up on the American equivalent of The Voice. He's recently been back on The Voice in America, and his bands are Oh my god. Alios and Lotus Crush. Oh, I love them. I love them. Um, so keep an eye on that and keep an eye on the song with the players, the celebs, and the fans because it's just absolutely it's phenomenal. Don't forget guys that also Quipco International sponsors here on the channel who service the oil and gas industry based out of Abu Dhabi since 2018. They offer a wide range of comprehensive manufacturing and repair services to the oil and gas industries within that region. But you don't just have to be in that region. It doesn't matter where you are. If you're looking for manufacturing or services, those type of repair works, manufacturing, whatever the case may be, please get in touch with Crypto because they are the very best within that region. Um, right, let's just finish off with a few more of your comments.

[00:31:07]And then we'll say a very good evening to you all.

[00:31:18]Okay. Kaiser says we need better than Nisbet and Ulisagna up front. Keskinan needs to move on as well. Craig Moyá suggests it's time to let Graham Shinny move on. I got to be honest, mate. I disagree with that. I think we need him.

[00:31:33]I I don't think he'll play much. I think he will be a bit player, but I think we need him. We need him in training. We need him at Cormarmac Park. We need him in the dressing room.

[00:31:45]Honestly, I just think we need him.

[00:31:49]Uh, Oil Technology says, "Let's be positive. We are still in the SPFL for another year and we are still a top 10 Scottish side. Plus, Peter Ambrose is now available."

[00:32:02]>> [snorts] >> Interesting question from David Drawn.

[00:32:05]Do you think Robinson, Lutz, and Mobbury can work together? He feels they'll all be pulling in opposite directions.

[00:32:15]Somebody else asked me a question and I can't quite see where it is. If these guys, who's making the decisions? Who is making the decisions? Now, for me, I I look, I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to stuff like this. I really am. And I know the game's moved on and I get that.

[00:32:32]But for me, the manager should always make the final decision on players.

[00:32:39]Always.

[00:32:40]I I've never understood how a manager is told, "Right, we're signing him. You now have to work with him." Really?

[00:32:50]I I'm sorry, but I am a traditionalist, and I think we need to go back. This is again what I don't understand. Why fix it when it was never ever broke in the first place?

[00:33:01]Maybe I'm a dinosaur. I don't know. I probably am. But for me, the manager should always make the final call on his squad. Always Kaiser. Cheeky.

[00:33:20]Now that's how you do it. Alli, in regards to Terry McDerm, I don't know what you mean, mate. I don't know what you mean.

[00:33:30]David Christie says, "This team doesn't deserve a song that good right now." It is good though, isn't it? Eh, it is good.

[00:33:40]Ian Duncan said, "The desk is perfect.

[00:33:41]It hides the blue-nosed mic. [laughter] It's tise."

[00:33:48]Kaiser says, "The whole running of the club is amateur. Robinson was never going to be the manager. It was purely out of desperation because we were heading for relegation.

[00:34:03]group and fur is here. How are you? The only team I want to win the league apart from the Glasgow too is Abberine, my man.

[00:34:16]Chris Clark says, "I think the job is too big to be fixed in two transfer windows, never mind just this summer. We gambled with big contracts for these players and it's going to haunt us for a few more seasons. He calls a a cluster.

[00:34:32][laughter] Charlotte James is here. Evening Dandes.

[00:34:36]There were better strikers at picnic on the pitch yesterday. I heard it was fantastic yesterday on the pitch.

[00:34:42]Absolutely brilliant.

[00:34:44]I'm so jealous. Am I I'm so jealous.

[00:34:48]Deary me.

[00:34:58]Right guys, I think we're going to call it a night to be honest because we've done over 35 minutes. Christine says she agrees the manager should always have the final say. Bob's here. How we doing?

[00:35:09]Play on the pitch was ace last Friday.

[00:35:12]We coached the home team. A good for you, fella.

[00:35:16]Elf Delo says, "Totally agree about the manager having the final say.

[00:35:23]Right, we'll leave it there guys. Thank you so much um for coming on tonight and again I apologize for all the technical nonsense that I've had over the past couple of weeks and I hope you like the new setup. It's just the beginnings of what will be hopefully bigger and better. Um so let me take an opportunity as this is the final show of the league campaign. We're coming back. We're going to be coming back to you throughout the summer. We're not stopping. I'm aiming to do two shows a week if I can depending on my schedules and the kids.

[00:35:56]Um, I'm going to London on Thursday.

[00:35:58]I'll be back a week tomorrow and then we're going to do a proper season review with three prominent Aberdeenebased journalists and supporters.

[00:36:11]Then the idea after that, because I'm sure if you follow me on socials, you know that I've become very interested in the topic of fame, identity, and reinvention. So my aim is to speak to football players, exabine players included, as well as players from the game, um, to talk about those three topics. And I really hope that you will enjoy the conversations. I've already got four lined up and delighted to say that three of them are ex Abodine players. It's going to make for a difficult watch, but a very interesting watch. And what I'm hoping is that it will change the way fans judge football players. That's what I'm hoping. That's what I'm hoping. So, thank you for all your support this season.
