I really don't have a problem as such with them going to aberdeen. as many have already said, its the manner in which it happened. If they had just ogne on day 1, instead of him coming out and pledging his alleagence then I am sure we would all have understood. maybe none too impressed, maybe dissapointed, but I am sure we would have understood.
Maybe he couldn't have done any more, but a bit of honesty goes a long way.
