Trying to Forget About Fergie - Klippybo's Aberdeen Story

club record scorer Joe Harper (199 goals) starred in the 70's

SEPTEMBER

Manchester United aside this was a good month with us getting a huge win over Celtic however I am still not content with some individuals!!!! Never mind. Considine and Rekik only scored 1 each this month but they were goals that pretty much gave us the 3pts in the games.

--------------------------------------

Aberdeen 1-0 Celtic
Rekik

We scrape another win however we dominated throughout and shouldve won by more - thank god for my goalscoring centre halves!

---------------------------------------------

Kilmarnock 0-1 Aberdeen
Carlini

My keeper Mejia was in top form here. Only scored when I took off Smith, shoved Carlini up top and moved forward Suarez to bring on McKee - tactical genius lol

------------------------------------------------

UEFA Champions League Group D
Manchester United 4-0 Aberdeen

Pathetic - knew we would get beat but not one player performed

-------------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 6-2 Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Suarez, Powell, Smith, Carlini 2, Fraser

Smith scores again against Caley - we fell behind but fought back well and hopefully this will be the start of us banging in the goals again!

-------------------------------------------------

Scottish Communities League Cup 3rd Round
Aberdeen 5-0 Morton
McLean, McKee 3(1pen), Nelson

Nelson had a goal disallowed also as I gave the backups a run out

--------------------------------------------------

Motherwell 1-2 Aberdeen
Considine, Powell

Fell behind to an early Higdon goal (again) but in the 2nd half we recovered and got the points

Another 2 decent results that should pretty much see us through providing we beat Jamaica in the last qualifier but we have the USA first.......

I got offered the Serbia's manager job but I turned it down. Quite fancied it but they have failed to qualify for the World Cup while I expect to make it with Costa Rica - otherwise I would have jumped ship - havent learnt Spanish yet anyway lol​

OCTOBER

We had some great results in Europe this month - winning 4-2 twice!!!!! Got to play 2 of the next 3 away though. Every game this month was at fortress Pittodrie so defeat was never on the cards however the Dundee result was extremely annoying!

--------------------------------

UEFA Champions League Group D
Aberdeen 4-2 Fenerbahce
Carlini, Smith 2, Fraser

Check us out - scoring 4 goals in a Champions League match! lol - a vital win this in our quest to avoid finishing 4th. This is the 1st of 6 home games in a row that we are scheduled to play

-------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 4-1 Raith Rovers
Smith 4

A nice easy win with Suarez setting up a couple so hopefully he is now used to playing a bit further back. Ryan Fraser got sent-off. Oh - Smith played well also lol

-----------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee

FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!! We hit the woodwork 3 times, missed half a dozen clear cut chances and had 25 shots on goal.

-------------------------------------------------

UEFA Champions League Group D
Aberdeen 4-2 Zenit St. Petersburg
Powell, Fraser, Bell, McKee (pen)

What a great result - only Real Madrid has beaten us at Pittodrie so at home I am always confident. They pegged us back twice but we stepped up a gear in the 2nd half. Powell got injured and is out for 3 months.

-------------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee United
Fraser

Decided to give Bell a shot at RW and move Fraser to LW to cover for Powell and it did the trick!

--------------------------------------------------

Scottish Communities League Cup QF
Aberdeen 1-0 Motherwell
Radosevic

Because we were at home - and giving our record at home - I played my backup players and we scraped past Motherwell here thanks to an injury time goal in the 93rd minute!

NOVEMBER

ABERDEEN 2-1 MAN UTD

Nuff said lol!

We signed 3 young players but doubt they will amount to much so wont bother showing screenies - they were free transfers.

-----------------------------------------

Heart of Midlothian 0-1 Aberdeen
Fraser

Hearts had a goal disallowed but we got the 3pts in the end - Fraser seems to like the LW position even though he is a natural RW!

--------------------------------------------

UEFA Champions League Group D
Zenit St. Petersburg 1-1 Aberdeen
Fraser

We got abolutely battered and our keeper, Mejia, got the MOM award but Fraser equalised in the 2nd half. If Man Utd keep winning we should finish 2nd. Outdoing Zenit is a great achievement as they got to the final last year and along with Hulk and Witsel they have signed Dzeko, Eriksen, Kranjcar, Anderson and Yarmolenko

----------------------------------------------

St. Mirren 0-5 Aberdeen
Smith 3, Bell, Considine

I would rather Smith scor in 3 games in a row rther than 3 in one! Suarez is now playing great at CM but Fyvie is not playing well at all.

------------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 3-0 Hamilton Academical
Fyvie 2, Considine

Fyvie the superstar! lol

---------------------------------------------------

UEFA Champions League Group D
Aberdeen 2-1 Manchester United
Smith 2

AMAZEBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We rode our luck as they missed a penalty and had a goal disallowed but Smith struck a late winner to secure qualification. Cant believe this result!

----------------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 3-0 Hibernian
Rekik 2, Smith

Still unbeaten in the league so far which is nice!

Pittodries greatest night!

DECEMBER

This monthas all about the cup draws. We got Bayern Munich in the Champions League, non league side Huntly in the Scottish Cup (there you go Stonecold lol) and Costa Rica got Argentina, Bosnia and South Korea in the World Cup.

Radosevic was homesick so I gave him a holiday which apparently cured it!

Oh and we won away to Celtic lol

-----------------------------------

UEFA Champions League Group D
Fenerbahce 2-1 Aberdeen
Fikejz

Played my backups and youths as you might imagine so was never going to win!

---------------------------------------

Aberdeen 3-2 Kilmarnock
Fraser, Bell, Carlini

Killie pegged us back twice here but we got the deserved winner in the end

------------------------------------------

Celtic 0-1 Aberdeen
Fraser

The first big step towards a 3rd title was made today. It was an even game but Fraser got on the end of a McKee free-kick to give us the points. Bell's season is over though and will put him back to Arsenal.

---------------------------------------------

Inverness Caledonian Thistle 1-1 Aberdeen
Smith

Didnt need to type in the scorer really - 14 goals in 8 games against Caley, he has failed to score once against them and missed the game once also

-------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 3-0 Motherwell
Suarez, Pierce, Smith

Injuries are coming thick and fast now. Lost Considine the day before kick-off for a month and Fraser went off injured early on here and is also out for a month.

Can you do a screenie of James Ward-Prowse, Luke Shaw, Jack Stephens and Calum Chambers please, I've started a Southampton and I want to see what they are like after a couple of seasons.

former record signing Paul Bernard - cost £1m from Oldham and was hopeless - was responsible for keeping an extra half dozen physios in a job though lol

JANUARY

The new year brought a first defeat! No surprises it was in Dundee but I still feel cheated! Otherwise it was a good month with some convincing victories.

Transfer wise we smashed the club record by signing young Georgian midfielder Jano for £1.7m - he scored on his debut, got sent-off in his 2nd game and got injured in his 3rd! We also brought in a 15y/o Finnish full back for a whopping £400!
View attachment 279627View attachment 279628

Outgoing meanwhile was Stephen O'Neill to Kilmarnock for £40,000 while I sent back Bell and Feruz to their parent clubs. Feruz I created - he looks good and I know he has -9 potential but he just didnt perform!

Finally I got Hungarian side Debrecen as a feeder side.

---------------------------------------

Raith Rovers 0-2 Aberdeen
Smith, Pierce

-----------------------------------------

William Hill Scottish Cup 4th Round
Aberdeen 6-0 Huntly
McKee 2, Franke 3, Nelson

Was tempted to save it beforehand and play my full team to see what score they would get and then reload it and play the team I did but in the end I couldnt be arsed lol

-------------------------------------------

Dundee 0-3 Aberdeen
Jano, Smith, Carlini

Jano gets a debut goal as we get a nice victory

---------------------------------------------

Dundee United 2-1 Aberdeen
Carlini

GGGGRRRRRR!!!! We were awful and was 2 down when Jano got sent-off but then Carlini scored on 85min and then Nelson had a goal chalked off in stoppage time!!!!!!!!!!! Cost us our unbeaten league record

-----------------------------------------------

Hibernian 2-5 Aberdeen
Suarez, Pierce 2, Smith 2

Great win this as Hibs have been splashing the cash a bit and before Jano arrived even had a higher wage bill than ours! They will finish 3rd this season no doubt.

----------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 4-0 Heart of Midlothian
Carlini (pen), Hegarty (og), Smith, Fyvie

We are really playing well now - Dundee Utd aside that is! Bad news though is that Jano is injured and is out for 2 months......

Some great results, beating ManU twice, wow.

On an unrelated note: every time I see Heart of Midlothian, the first millisecond I think it reads "Heart of Midichlorians"

we have drawn 2-2 with Bayern fairly recently in real life too you know!

FEBRUARY

A great month with plenty of goals and some fine individual performances from the likes of Smith, Nelson, Carlini and Considine. The only bad point was not being able to hold on against Bayern!

-------------------------------------

Scottish Communities League Cup SF
Hibernian 0-4 Aberdeen

MARCH

Overall a very good month as we won the league cup and managed to extend our lead in the table to 12pts however our European dream was ended by Bayern Munich.

In the youth intake I signed up a few players but nobody special although the best one was an Italian called Adalberto Ravanelli - maybe it is a love child he had when he played for Dundee lol

----------------------------------------

Aberdeen 1-0 Celtic
Smith

A great win this that finally puts a bit of daylight between ourselves and Celtic. Our goal came on 82mins but Wanyama had a last minute goal chalked off for them.

--------------------------------------------

William Hill Scottish Cup QF
Aberdeen 4-1 Kilmarnock
Carlini, Smith 2, Nelson

Killie never really troubled us here as we brushed them aside easily

-----------------------------------------------

We never really troubled Bayern here and we got brushed aside easily lol

Scottish Communities League Cup Final
Aberdeen 3-0 Celtic
Hayes, McKee (pen), Suarez

It was a tight game but when we took the lead after an hour we never looked back - McKee always seems to perform well in the finals

Smith

We were struggling at 1-1, Smith was having a nightmare and I was about to take him off when I realised who we were playing! Smith always gets a goal against ICT!!!!!

APRIL

On the brink of another two trophies as we are 1pt away from winning the title again and we are through to the final of the Scottish Cup. Denis Suarez has been superb this month - pretty much involved in every goal scored this month as he seems to have settled into a deeper position. Jano has also started brilliantly.

----------------------------------------

Aberdeen 5-1 Raith Rovers
Carlini 3, Suarez, Jano

Smith was injured so I gave Carlini a go up front (his stats are far better than Smith but Smith was here first lol) and he responded with a hat-trick!

-----------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 1-0 Dundee
Fraser

---------------------------------------------------

Former Aberdeen player Mark Kerr put Dundee in front but we responded well and progressed to the final. No prizes for guessing who we play!

Into the split now and this great win means we are 1pt away from retaining the title.

MAY - END OF SEASON

A good end to the season with us ending up with 105pts and 100 goals in the league and we just came out on top in a thrilling cup final. We also got another parent club and this time it was not an English side - joining Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd is Bayer Leverkusen! lol

At the end of the season Hearts and Motherwell sacked their managers.

-------------------------------------

Aberdeen 3-0 Celtic
Suarez 2, Wotherspoon

Only needed a point for the title but we got all 3 to rub it in a bit!

----------------------------------------

Aberdeen 3-2 Kilmarnock
Caldwell, Hayes, Considine

Played 3 1st picks and the rest were youngsters or back ups. Was 2-1 down with 10 min to go and thought I was going to lose at home in the league for the 1st time. (Remember only Real Madrid and Chelsea have beaten us at Pittodrie!)

------------------------------------------------

Dundee 1-3 Aberdeen
Hayes, Fraser, Jano

Finally John Baird scores against us! They went ahead but we came back to win easily

-----------------------------------------------

Aberdeen 4-1 Hibernian
Wotherspoon, Jano 2, Fraser

The 4 goals here takes our tally in the league to 100 for the season. The last 3 were scored in the final 15min.

------------------------------------------------

William Hill Scottish Cup Final
Aberdeen 2-2 Celtic
Fyvie, McKee (pen)
(AET Aberdeen won 5-4 on penalties)

What a final!!! We were 2 down at half-time and not long into the 2nd half I had Fraser and Powell taken off injured so I shoved on Nelson and "Mr Final" himself Joe McKee. Nelson duly set up both goals and McKee converted a penalty. No goals in extra time and in the penalty shoot out we scored all 5 and Celtic missed their 5th. A second successive treble!

SUMMARY
Another treble so I cant really complain. Although we didnt get as far as we did last season in Europe I wasnt too disappointed as we are nowhere near the level of Bayern yet. Maybe in 3 years we can have a serious go at the biggie!!!

Peterhead did well in the 1st division - finishing mid table. Now that Rangers are promoted to the SPL hopefully I can give Peterhead 4 players to get them up next year!!​
