Wow just read trough everything from page 1, I am impressed to say the least! but i`m just wondering, when posting screenshots of players, could you please include the attribute graph/chart/diagram (whatever people call it)? As it gives you a better overview of the player :)

Thanks Tommy

I Know the diagram you after and the reason i dont use it on the player screen is because i like to see the players appearance and goal stats without that extra click to the history page and the other spot is for Physical stats which is even more important. I'll try dropping the stats window see how i get on with it. If i dont prefer it i shall still try and swap the graph for the stats
 

Scotland




Squad


No changes as i thought i had everyone i wanted in the squad but in rushing i forgot to add Rangers striker Crainey




World Cup Qualifier 3
Scotland 3-1 Georgia
Rhodes
Sneddon
Russell


Our last easy game and i used this as a warm up for the Sweden game.




World Cup Qualifier 4
Scotland 3-0 Sweden
Rhodes 3


Wow this was far easier than i expected. Even with 2 Aberdeen players in the starting 11 they couldn't handle Jordan Rhodes




Two atrocious results for Ireland have left us clear and away in the group which just before the half way stage is almost in the bag, if it wasn't for all the Away games I've got to play.

We really have yet to be challenged. I thought Sweden would be a tricky game with 2 of my players and a pretty decent international forward. Were still ranked way down in the 50's but i think were a top 30 team maybe even to 20. Wont really know till the 2022 world cup how good Scotland really are
 

October




Victory at Parkhead leaves us top of the table
A Great result in a boring game in Dortmund leaves us in great shape half way through the group
We suffer our first defeat in a cup since 21st September 2016, Over 4 seasons




Fixtures




Aberdeen 3-0 Dunfermline
Bamba 2
Loeffen


Dominated from kick off, lead by Bamba our Winning run up to 19 games.




Celtic 0-1 Aberdeen
Sneddon


What a battle. With out doubt our toughest match of the season. Sneddon hasn't scored many this season but when it mattered he got the only goal of the day to send us clear at the top. Elias played his 150th game for Aberdeen as we scored our 20th win in a row.




Champions League match 3
Dortmund 0-0 Aberdeen


A boring spectacle! 3 shots on goals over the 90 minutes as our brilliant 20 match winning run ends in Dortmund. Still a great result for the Dons

View attachment 317641




Injury's to our two star attackers!
As well as loosing our winning run we also lost our two best attackers. Mark Loeffen is out for a mere two weeks but much more seriously is our player of the season so far Elias had his ankle broken and will miss between 3 and 4 months. And to top it off Oscar Nanclares will miss the rest of the month with an injury to.




Aberdeen 3-0 Dundee Utd
Pierce
Sneddon
Backstrom


Lecomte is our latest injury worry. Out for 2 weeks. Were going to have a very weak team by the time the Dortmund game comes round.




League Cup Q/F
Dundee Utd 2-2 Aberdeen - Dundee Utd win 4-2 on Pens
Archer 2


Brett Archer scored twice and was the man of the match while the rest of our team were awful and deserved to go out.




Dundee 1-1 Aberdeen
Soldan


So Rangers might be my bogie team but if that's the case then Dundee is clearly our bogie city. My only argument is only 5 of my best 11 started, but still the result isn't good enough.

Our perfect record ended at Dens park but victory at Parkhead helped us build up a 3 point gap to Celtic and we have a game in hand.






Player of the month
Michal Soldan
View attachment 317643


Still not back to his absolute best after his injury last season. Getting back to full fitness has been his biggest problem. Hopefully Elias doesn't suffer the same problems.

Scotland




Squad


Last game of the year and a trip to Africa. I remembered to call up Crainey this time as the only player missing out is 3rd choice keeper Robbie Thompson




Friendly


Ivory Coast 3-5 Scotland
Rhodes 4
Lindsay


Mercy what a game, especially since we were only 2-1 ahead at half time. Rhodes is continually questioned as a choice for the team and this kind of result shows why he is one of the 1st names on the team sheet

These results see us up to 42nd in the world rankings

November


A horrible defeat away to Motherwell means the unbeaten league season wont be this time round
Champions League went much better and the group is sewn up with a game to spare
Match of the season candidate against Ross County



Fixtures




Champions League Match 4
Aberdeen 2-1 Dortmund
Loeffen 2


Great result following our recent run. I Was not expecting a win here. I saw Loeffen make it 3-0 and score his hattrick so turned away to watch the tv and was most uncomfortable to see the score say 2-1 at FT. Bamba played his 150th game for Aberdeen

View attachment 317718




Motherwell 1-0 Aberdeen


Well we wont be getting that 100% season this time round. Mark Loeffen plays his 100th game for Aberdeen




Rangers 0-0 Aberdeen


A draw was a fair result but with all the chances one of us should have score some goals




Champions League Match 5
Heerenveen 1-4 Aberdeen
Loeffen 2
Sneddon
Kardum


The win and qualification were in the bag by half time were we had raced into a 3-0 lead. Dortmund drawing in Fenerbahce means we've also won the group with a game to spare

Aberdeen 7-3 Ross County
Sneddon
Loeffen 3
Nanclares
Hansson
Bamba


This was a crazy crazy game. 5-3 at half time too. All Ross County's shots went in.




Aberdeen 3-0 Dundee
Loeffen 2
Hughes


Max Lecomte returns from injury to makes his 100th appearance for Aberdeen




Scottish Cup 4th Round
Aberdeen 2-1 Cowdenbeath
Hansson
Slane


Not our proudest moment but were through to the 5th round. Salomonsson made his 100th Aberdeen appearances. Not bad for a back up player. Dundee will be our 5th round opposition






League

Possibly our worst month in many many seasons and the gap remains the same at the top. Nice little 3 way battle for the relegation spot






Player of the month
Mark Loeffen


After a quiet start to the season our Dutch master found his shooting boots in November and made up for the loss of Elias.

Team news



Flamengo
A Player im familiar with defensive midfielder Mario Bolatti who i once spent a huge sum on in another save is ineligible while lead striker Dario Arce is out injured in the Semi. Without these two the Brazilians don't have any superstars to match out Bamba and Loeffen's


Aberdeen
Elias has been out forever and since i registered the squad Kardum, David and Soldan all picked up injury.




The Match




1st half


1 - Goal - Hughes
What a start. Back up midfielder wastes no time in scoring another vital goal in the spirit of Elias


7 - Goal - Sneddon
Wow Aberdeen have come firing out the blocks. Long serving Sneddon might have won it after 7 whole minutes




Half Time
Flamengo 0-2 Aberdeen


We stormed into the lead and have held the Brazilians since then but it might just take 1 goal to change it.




2nd Half


52 - Goal - Backstrom
With Hughes coming off tired his protege come on and in the biggest game of his career so far the Swede scores a huge goal.


81 - Goal - Lane
Could you find a better place to score. Well 16 year old Andy Lane came on to enjoy the experience but getting a goal is the cream on top of the cake




Full time
Flamengo 0-4 Aberdeen

A Fairly simple win and strangely despite having a very strong attacking line up it was 3 of our back up players who got the goals to become World Champions

Wow what a shock. A fully rested strongest team i can field and Hearts held us off quite easily. Luckily Celtic lost away to Ross County




Aberdeen 3-1 Kilmarnock

We were sluggish in the 1st half taking a 1 goal lead. The second half was another story as normal service was resumed

Yeah thanks! Just feel like with winning the Champions League group we have moved up a level. The world club championships success isnt a great surprise due to the competition being awful. Keeping the success rolling is going to be a challenge as loosing a League cup game and the players reactions to team talks havent been as good as they were before this season.
 

Champions League last 16 Draw

Marseille V Aberdeen


We were the last teams out in the draw. Avoided




Marseille have a few good players at the club. Wellington Nem, Jordan Ayew, Kara, Gabi Torje and Nkoulou and of course a player we tried to sign Walter Tribulo.

January


Dundee Beat us again
We beat Rangers again
I decided we can't buy till we've sold so there was no movement in the transfer window despite another attempt to get Gareth Bale and a loan offer for Javi Hernandez both turned down.



Fixtures




Dundee Utd 2-2 Aberdeen
Hansson
Hughes


Fought back to lead 2-1 but took less than a minute for Dundee Utd to retaliate. Our team was knackered so a point isn't a disaster




Poor Helge Mjomen, who was our most promising young defender has suffered a second huge injury blow of the season. Having just missed almost 3 months with a stress factor in his back 4 game into his comeback Helge has tore his hamstring meaning he could miss up to 4 months of action putting him a season behind in his development. And he's developed like a beast

Dunfermline 0-1 Aberdeen
Soldan


A scrappy game. Dunfermline wanted a fight and they got one but our one striker from Soldan was enough for 3 points.




Aberdeen 2-0 Motherwell
Fotheringham
Soldan


The closest thing to a settled team and there was still 4 changes. After beating us last time out i was determined not to let Motherwell get another result out of us




Ross County 0-5 Aberdeen
Hughes 2
Nanclares
Loeffen
Sneddon


Woo Hoo. A big win! Seems like a while since we got that. Not quite the 7-3 classic from early on in the season but it will do.




Dundee 3-1 Aberdeen
Soldan


We went bad, well our finishing and defending was but a 2nd defeat of the season. On this sad day Alex Butler made his 225th appearance for Aberdeen




Aberdeen 3-0 Rangers
Sneddon
Loeffen
Cabestany


Totally made up for loosing in Dundee again by convincingly beating Rangers again




Scottish Cup 5th round
Aberdeen 3-0 Dundee
Kardum 2

Dundee have turned out to be our toughest opposition this season beating us twice. We were having non of that today however and a simple win leads to a Quarter Final with Ross County

Doing really well. The stadium is great news and will allow you to be able to hold onto players for a bit longer due to extra financial might.

I am really hoping that will make the difference. Especially since i was upsetting Caberstany in forcing him to say. Hopefully a big juicy contract offer in June will tempt him otherwise

Squad


3rd choice keeper Robbie Thompson returns as the only change to the team that beat Ivory Coast


In the run up to the game James McArthur and Stevie Cairney were both injured. I called up Jamie Murphy to be 3rd choice striker for the game

The Welsh side helped to put on a good battle of Britain clash. There rugged defense held us out till the 84th minute when the Easter road crowed were treated to a goal to equalize the tie.

Back up Brett Archer shows why Cabestanay is expendable if Real Madrid come calling again




Champions League last 16 1st Leg
Marsilles 0-0 Aberdeen


A close match which swang back and forth ended with a controversial 88th minute winner by Sneddon being disallowed to set up a tense second leg.

Donald Outburst
Life is hard at the top and and the pressure of a the 1st leg result where the defending champions expected to to win showed in the post match press conference "The ref wasnt giving a thing all night and it seems the linesman was asleep at the wheel for Sneddon's goal and it was a goal. Typical biased against British teams"




Livingston 2-6 Aberdeen
Sneddon
Loeffen
Archer 2
Elias
Glowacki


Our best performance of the season so far i think. 4-0 up at half time and so relaxed for the second half and extend our league further as Celtic and Hearts both drew.




Kilmarnock 0-1 Aberdeen
Sneddon


Today was our turn to really on the late disallowed goal as it looked like Kilmarnock had equalized with there 1st shot on goal.




Scottish Cup Q/F
Aberdeen 4-0 Ross County
Cristian 2
Kardum
Soldan


One small note to come out of the game is Sneddon is out for 2 weeks with a bruised shin and will miss the second leg. Good timing for Archer and Cabestany to be making there returns from injury

Hearts short stay in 2nd only helped us extend the lead further in February and i expect that's the league done now.

A player i usually love to see scoring Mark Loeffen gave Holland with his 1st international goal. The lead but his team mate Sneddon drew the Scots level just before the hour. Stuard Lindsay did his best to make sure it would end a draw by missing 2 penaltys before Rhodes got the winner with 15 minutes to go.
