Folk working out there have returned as they have tightened up laws on drinking etc - no idea how FIFA think Budweiser will be allowed to be sold...

Not a big IPA fan but this is really nice from Canada. Available in Sainsburys.

Although clearly there are some very poor conditions for workers, I think the reason for the move was probably more to do with the fans than the players.

Last month, the Guardian reported that over 400 Nepalese migrant workers had already died at building sites. Between 2010 and 2012 more than 700 workers from India lost their lives working on construction sites in Qatar, too. A report by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) says that if conditions don’t get any better, by the time the World Cup kicks off, at least 4,000 migrant workers will have died on the job.

Late 90s for me, brought up in a non-football house. Wasn't until I went to uni in Edinburgh and got abused as a 'sheep shagger' & met a neighbour who went to games did it kick in.

Actually the guy posting this crap has just deleted his twitter account.....mainly as they Vanguard Bears have found his threats to them and named him.

Had a picture of his loon who plays for Partick Thistle youths under the caption 'Partick Thistle IRA' and the party/him linked to a Celtic-Feynoord account with this in it

It seems to be mainly Dutch guys but on their FB page folk have actually liked it....https://www.facebook.com/818587844869146/photos/a.818621578199106.1073741828.818587844869146/826373310757266/?type=1&theater

Rave!

Green brigade wanking furiously as they 120 Feynoord fans over for a rave and going to batter us.... 

"HIBS star Jason Cummings has been banned from McDonald’s over claims he threw muffins at staff.

It's claimed the striker and his friends started lobbing the food while shouting abuse at customers at the restaurant’s Gorgie Road branch in Edinburgh.

Cummings, 19, did not play in his side’s 3-0 win over Dumbarton at the weekend amidst widespread rumours he had been disciplined by team bosses.

Now it has emerged that the fast food chain has banned him from the restaurant over his “unacceptable” and “antisocial” behaviour.

A McDonald’s spokeswoman told the Daily Record this morning: “Following behaviour deemed to be unacceptable, we are in the process of writing to this individual, informing him of our decision to ban him from Gorgie Road restaurant."

A 1-1 draw.

 

But then again as said before I might have the mentality of a dons supporter and think the worst.

Thats long term conditioning for you!

Fifa says it will not pay compensation to clubs and leagues unhappy about plans to play the 2022 Qatar World Cup in November and December.

 

It also said no apology was necessary for the scheduling of the tournament, which will disrupt a number of leagues.

 

A Fifa taskforce has recommended the 2022 World Cup take place in winter to avoid Qatar's hot summer temperatures.

 

Richard Scudamore: "It's the European leagues that are suffering the most"

 

"There will be no compensation," said Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke. "There are seven years to reorganise."

 

Fifa's executive committee will meet in Zurich next month to ratify the taskforce's recommendation.

 

Valcke also suggested that a 2022 World Cup final on 23 December was looking increasingly likely.

Jocky Scott believes? Aberdeen have the perfect opportunity to go one better than the Dons side he helped lead to the brink of becoming champions of Scotland.

The 67-year-old was co-manager with Alex Smith in 1991 when Rangers pipped Aberdeen to the title by winning a final-day showdown at Ibrox.

And bullish Scott believes Derek McInnes’s side have what it takes to upset current table-toppers Celtic at Parkhead on Sunday.

He said: “Aberdeen are playing very well and getting results so they certainly have nothing to fear.

“I don’t think Celtic will be affected having had two games before they face Aberdeen. Players enjoy being involved in these games. The Celtic players will enjoy facing Inter Milan and they’ll look forward to coming up against Aberdeen

“There will be a big crowd at Parkhead on Sunday so they won’t want to let the home fans down. But Aberdeen have nothing to be apprehensive about.”

Scott, who helped Smith lead the Dons to a cup double in 1989-90, reckons his former team should take heart from seeing other sides run Celtic close this term.

He said: “Although Celtic have been getting results week in week out, I always think watching them that the opposition have a chance.

“All right, they beat Hamilton 4-0 on Sunday, but they don’t normally win by the big scorelines the way they used to. And I always think teams have a chance against them.

“The Dons are confident in the way they play and that they’ll get results and realistically they are the only team left to mount a challenge to Celtic. I’ve been saying for months Aberdeen and Dundee United have never have a better chance of winning the title than they have this season. But now it’s down to the Dons.

“Derek McInnes has got good performances and good results from his team and everybody at Pittodrie is obviously doing the right thing.”

Scott still has painful?memories of failing to clinch the title that day in 1991 when Aberdeen needed only a draw to become champions.

He said: “I remember lots from that game. We started well and had a very good chance through Hans Gillhaus then another five minutes later through Peter van de Ven. Had we scored with one of those chances we wouldn’t have lost the game.”

Rangers eventually ran out 2-0 winners but Scott doesn’t believe this season’s Dons will show similar nerves on Sunday.

He said: “Watching Celtic recently I’ve felt that while they’ve won, the opposition have had opportunities.

“In the win over St Johnstone in Perth on Valentine’s Day, the home side had a great chance in the last minute to get a draw. Celtic have been allowing teams to get that close.

“If Aberdeen don’t lose the game it would put real pressure on Celtic and keep the Dons momentum going – more so of course if they win at Parkhead.”

1-1 at Tannadice, was coming.

Table

City back to 2-1 missed it as Caley are trying to fuck up at Tannadice.

A product of the AFC Youth Academy centre in Glasgow, under Peter Weir's guidance Jamie Henry has made great progress since joining the club at U14 level. A dynamic box to box midfield player who covers every blade of grass, Jamie joined the club full time at the start of this season.

 

Now working under U20 coach Paul Sheerin, he is continuing to learn his trade under the watchful eye of a top quality midfielder, an opportunity he appreciates to the full.

 

"Paul Sheerin is a very good coach and a good guy. In training, if I make mistakes, he will tell me how to improve so I don't make the same mistakes. You can tell when he joins in at training that he had lots of ability as a player - he still has!

 

"Having Scott Anderson involved with the U20s as well as the U17s is important too. During pre-season, Scott came with us to Portugal. All the new boys already knew him and that made it easy for us to settle in. The fact we have all settled in so quickly was important and has probably been a factor in the results we have had this season.

"I really enjoyed being part of the Glasgow Centre and working with Peter Weir. His training sessions were always very good. It did not matter what numbers were there on any particular night, he would still put on a very good session and make it a very good tempo. I am too young to have seen him play but I have watched a few DVDs of him playing in cup finals and I've heard he was a very good player.

 

"I am from Clydebank, just outside Glasgow, and went to Clydebank High. I joined Aberdeen half way through the U15 season. I played there for six months and then had two seasons at U17 level and then I came in full time at the start of this year.

 

"At the Glasgow Centre, a typical week would see us train on a Tuesday night at Garscube Sports Complex, Wednesday we were at Petershill and then on a Friday we were through at Holytown in the Motherwell area, so there were three different areas to go to. We would then have the games on a Sunday. If it was a home game in Aberdeen, it was an early rise on Sunday morning. It was a lot of travelling but it is what I had to do to get here. It was a big commitment from my parents, there was a lot of money spent on petrol!

 

"All the Glasgow boys got on well and Kalvin Orsi and Daniel Harvie have come in full time this year as well. We have trained together for years. It is good to have boys you have known for a long time setting out on this adventure at the same time. We are able to support each other.

 

"Last year for the U17s, I did well but I didn't feel that I was consistent. I was a bit unsure as to whether I would get offered a full time deal or not but then one night out of the blue at training in Glasgow, Peter Weir took me aside and told me I was getting a full time contract. It was a wonderful feeling. It also meant there was no uncertainty. I knew what I was doing. I did not have to go back to school. I could concentrate fully on my football. It is great being a professional player. There is nothing better than training every day. I'm enjoying living in Aberdeen too. I passed my driving test up here so I am getting to know my way about! Having a car makes things easier."

 

"There is a good spirit in our dressing room and there are a couple of good characters in there! But everyone gets on well and there is no one in there who thinks they are better than everyone else. I know that is the case in some other dressing rooms."

 

With five over age outfield players allowed to play for the U20s this season, it has meant the younger players have had less game time but Jamie fully understands the reasons for this.

 

"It is obviously my first year full time. I knew that I was going to get limited game time but I feel that once I have come on the pitch, I have done quite well. It is a very strong squad though and just like the first team squad at the moment.

 

"Obviously it's frustrating if you are training every day but not playing games. But on the up side, when you do play alongside the first team players you do learn a lot. You are able to watch what they do close up and then you can try and take that into your own game. All the young boys like myself want to play but the over age players who are not involved with the first team need to get some football as well. You just have to bide your time and be patient. I know my time will come."

 

Jamie was in the TSB U18 Scotland squad for the Centenary Shield campaign last year. The squad sees young footballers brought together from schools across Scotland and has proved to be a useful springboard for a number of high profile players in recent years, including our own Scott McKenna.

 

"I was in the Scotland Schoolboy squad which was U18 level. That was a very good experience, playing at the big stadiums. We played Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. The biggest result was the 1-1 draw with England down at Ewood Park. That was a good game for us and I was fortune enough to get man of the match.

 

"The highlight for me in my Aberdeen career so far was coming on in the game against Celtic. We won the game 2-1 in Brechin. I came on and helped the guys get a victory that night which was a great feeling. Celtic are always very strong at all youth levels so it was fantastic to win.

 

"We are doing very well in the Development League and have been near the top for most of the campaign. It is very close between ourselves, Hamilton and Celtic who have a number of games in hand. We are now entering the business end of the season and we are still in touch at the top. It is up to us to keep winning games and see where that takes us.

 

"For me personally, between now and the end of the season, I want to get as involved as I can and then prepare myself for next season which is going to be a big year for me."

I see Scott Brown has now overtaken Clangers in minutes played.

 

Would be good to compare all of their stats side by side.

Years of "conditioning" to what it was like being a Dons fan have taught me to expect us to bottle it.

 

All I want this Saturday is for us to give 100%, not play like pussies and for the referees to have a good game.

And what about Sunday?

Heart says we'll go at them from the start and get 3 points.

 

i would say exact opposite, can see McInnes holding back and hitting them on the break
