Far too pedestrian. Too slow to get the ball forward, too slow to get to loose balls, too slow to take fucking throw ins. Gyamfi and Karlsson looked good though.

Yeah I’m out.

I would say that’s a very romanticised view of what he did. He never debated in good faith, there was never an openness to consider differing viewpoints, only pushing his own agenda (rooted in disinformation), mostly on people who were not equipped to “debate” with him. Plus the whole “debate me” schtick seems to be just the window dressing on what his Turning Point organisation was actually doing. Lots of prominent people in academia and journalism coming out saying they were targeted with harassment campaigns designed to silence them. Not saying that excuses what happened to him but he wasn’t just some politically-curious young man with a passion for debate. He was an activist for an agenda that will result in human death and suffering whether it be removal of healthcare, removal of access to safe abortion, consequences of false demonisation of vaccines, rhetoric on acceptability of gun deaths, and the general approach to diversity and immigration that will have lasting effects on millions of hard-working families.

Think Ferguson plays a bit deeper for Bologna these days.

The guy Chelsea signed for £40m? This guy? https://www.givemesport.com/tiemoue-bakayoko-what-now-happened-to-chelsea-flop/

Old Town area around Republic Square is about a 30 minute walk from the stadium (or 10 minute by Tram - Lines 8/26). I imagine that's also close to where most fans will be congregating.

I think Vitols can be registered on the same basis as: "Boyd would not need to be registered as he's come through the youth system and is u21". Ambrose & Sokler seem to be on their way out so I'd drop them from the list. Gyamfi and Tobers seem like the most likely additions unless they're both scheduled to return imminently but both can be covered if not.

I would have thought your average Bolognese dog would be quite happy getting wanked off.

Currently injured so fits the brief.

What’s the upside of the 3 year project? Winning the league or consistently challenging for 3rd and getting into Europe most years? If it’s the latter, you’d get similar return out of someone like McInnes/Robinson without having to wait 3 years, especially with the amounts we’ve been spending on transfer fees during the last 3 windows.

If I'm reading that right, the team he played for that got promoted from Portuguese 2nd Division didn't fancy him in the 1st Division so loaned him to a team back in the 2nd Division. Doesn't scream £1m+ but who knows.

AEK Larnaca's stadium only holds 8,000. Might be tricky getting tickets for that one.

So much for being easier in the Conference League! "Aberdeen are at home to Shakhtar Donetsk, Strasbourg and Noah - and visit Sparta Prague, AEK Athens and AEK Larnaca." AEK Larnaca beat Legia Warsaw 4-1 at home...

Indeed, FC Noah of Armenia knocked out AEK Athens on their way to the Group Stage last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Noah#European And Shkendija who we scraped through against on away goals back in 2015 knocked out FCSB from this year's Champions League qualifiers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KF_Shkëndija#Results Plenty of beatable teams there, but also plenty of teams that can punish us if we're sloppy.

Terrible, terrible decision but we were asking for that being so slack with the ball over the preceding 5-10 minutes.

McCoist sounds like Trump just windmilling absolute nonsense.

That Timothy Akindineli defender that QPR signed was on the bench for them at the weekend and has been allocated number 19 shirt. From the sounds of it he was quite far from getting into our first team.

Devlin also doesn’t have the pace but has the cojones to just plow past, through or into the full back anyway. Weird thing to say about a right back but we really missed his determination to get into the box and get a shot away in the last 10 minutes.

I did like the suggestion of somehow combining AFCCT and Sport Aberdeen with the wider AFC operation but do wonder how that move to a "community club" model in partnership with the Council fits the reality that AFC is largely privately owned by wealthy American investors. And unless I missed something, we'll still need to go down to Dundee for water slides.

Sounds reasonable in principle. AFC commit to 99 year lease, "donate" Pittodrie land (I assume we retain liability for demolition costs). Council uses capital loan facility for low-interest financing, receives large plot of land they can use for social housing and solves the issue they have of what to replace the Beach Leisure Centre with. I would be a bit worried if the council sold the stadium to some faceless property investment company though. I also suspect that the proposed location would not be a simple construction project in terms of groundworks.

Not unhappy with that, IIRC he was one of our best players in our last European campaign.

I saw him as someone like Ryan Porteous or an XL Bully. You can invest a lot of time and effort into training them to function normally most of the time but you’ll never remove that instinct to go radge when under pressure, usually at the worst possible time.

Since Cormack took over construction costs have probably increased by at least £20m (IIRC expectation for Westhill was ~£40m) and likely value of Pittodrie land has decreased a fair bit too. Can’t see any real progress happening any time soon.

Some frightening stats there but I guess you can't really get a good picture of someone's ability (actual and potential) from 585 minutes, presumably spread across a lot of substitute appearances when his team are already losing.

We have Erik Edman on the payroll as a scout in Sweden IIRC, could be from that.
