  1. 2nd gives us £500k or so more in league prize money and takes us into Europe which gives us about £2m in TV, gates etc (going by the last couple of European jaunts). Any less than £2.5m is selling us short. We'd be able to get a couple of good players with £2m in the bank, I'd settle for that and look to take Henderson from Celtic and O'Halloran from sevco with the money.
  2. We have no debt so we dont have a bank demanding we sell. 18 months left on his deal and an integral member of the team. No danger he'd be sold for £200K.
  3. Slightly off topic but the man v food guy almost killed himself doing this shit.
  4. I've been looking into those Zgamma boxes, anyone have any info? I was down visiting the step daughter and they had one. All the channels, good quality picture and easy to use, looked the business.
  5. I've heard we have spoken to Rochdale about buying Andy Cannon. I see someone on one of the other sites has heard the same.
  6. The 'problem' has been fabricated to serve an agenda. As an example, the club thanked all those that took part in the display the evening before the game and again the following week through a public acknowledgment. What more do they want? A private call to each of them from the entire board and a dinner thrown in their honor? Perhaps an ad in both the local papers as well, just for good measure. There has been no approach from AFC to other clubs to stop displays, only to advise on issues some that assist in the displays create within the stands. These people forget that they represent the club when they go to away games and do these things, its up to them to behave in a way that respects that. Heavy handed stewards - The only time I've seen any stewards approaching the singing section is when one of the little superfans ventures out of their corner to abuse other fans for not singing. The stewards take them to the side, tell them to wise up and send them on their way. Fans matchday experience - Being shouted at by little superfans to sing, wave shit, stand up, sit down, do whatever it is they decide does not add to my matchday experience in a good or positive way. It may give them some sense of achievement in the pub at 5.00pm but it does nothing to add to my enjoyment and I know plenty that feel and think the same. There is no void, there is only a small group that believe they have an entitlement to be treated in a special way and when they dont get that special treatment they throw the collective rattle and this is the result. The club is far from perfect when it comes to its communications but its also not the shambles the ultras/singing section are trying to make out.
  7. Who are the Dons Fans Voice Collective, never heard of them. Can I guess that its Mezz and his mates trying to get Mezz the role he's been pumping himself for on fakebook? Self-serving, self-interest rubish.
  8. Watching the Dave Clark Five on BBC4 Great viewing.
  9. I'm in 2 minds with McGinn. He has arguably been our most valuable player for the last few seasons, top goal scorer in his first and most assists in his 2nd and 3rd (I think) but then he's been flat this season, low on goals, assists and effort. That might be down to the lack of break or he may have given himself ideas above his station when at the WC. Cant be easy seeing Josh Magennis getting a big move (in money terms) when you've played alongside him at both levels and know you're 10 times the player he is. Taylor is a bomb scare, as is Reynolds. I'd let Taylor go and pump Reynolds so a new defense could be built around O'Connor and Shinnie with Considine as a solid back up. People slate Jack, I think he's a good player. Doesnt quite fit in with the system we play but then thats down to McInnes rather than Jack. We need a new defender, a new midfielder, a winger/creative forward and when Maddison goes home we'll need someone for the space behind the striker. The only way to get a good standard in all those positions is to let go of all 4 of the first team regulars or 3 and move at least 1 on that doesnt have his contract running out.
  10. I think we'll see a big turnaround in first team regular players at the end of this season, bigger than we've had in a while. Taylor, Jack and probably McGinn will leave either through choice or through a piss poor contract being offered, they'll end up in ED1. Pawlett will be let go and Considine will stay. Looking at the list of those in the SPL that are also out of contract I see no one that stands out as a player I'd want. Looks like we'll be scouring the lower leagues on Englandshire for more O'Connor types (hopefully!)
  11. I think the main issue is coming from the attitude our team has shown towards Celtic and the rangers. THe way the team was set out for all gmes against them this season almost admits defeat before kick off and with that the attitude of the fans has changed as well. Before when we played Celtic, last season at Pittodrie stands out, we went at them, attacked and were set up to attack. This season we havent turned up ahgainst them and we gave the rangers far too much respect and stood off them both home and away - not good enough in my opinion. If we'd turned up for the final and we'd attacked the rangers at home and dowen there we wouldnt be having this conversation. Thats down to McInnes and his tactics. That attitude is also then seen throughout the team. When our players thought we were out to properly challenge they looked a lot better that they do this season aiming for 3rd.

    Vaping

    The oil that the vape stuff is made from is veg based, maybe thats it I'm not ready to stop smoking but I can no longer justify spending £80 a week on killing myself. This vaping shit though almost hits the spot when you need a smoke and right now I'm looking at it more as a brand change than a packing it in.

    Vaping

    I've now been off the cigs for 3 weeks and only vaping. Upsides, saving a shitload of cash, breathing is a lot easier, food tastes like food again and I can smell things. Down side, I'm farting like a trooper and because I can smell better I'm now finding the smell of my own farts a bit too much - some of those fuckers could feed you. Anyone else into this? I'm trying to find the best mods etc but the advice out there is pretty varied and looks more about sponsors selling their wares than actually giving people the low down.

    Tattoos

    2 stars (European trophies) and 3 stripes (83 kit) at the top of my half sleeve.

    Tattoos

    Its not the same sort of pain as a needle nor does it have the same get that away from me effect. It feels more like a friction burn than a needle. I've got a full sleeve on one arm and a half sleeve on the other. Next tattoo will be a caricature of the Beastie Boys with the words cant - wont - dont - stop.
  17. Forgive me if there is already a thread for this, couldnt see one... We have 5 first team players going out of contract at the end of this season. Jack, McGinn, Taylor, Considine and Pawlett. Who do you keep, who do you bin and who do you take in to replace if we do let them go. I'd keep Jack and Considine, possibly McGinn depending on whether or not he can shake off this lethargy he's surrounded by at the moment. Taylor and Pawlett can go, Taylor scares me, Pawlett just hasnt cut it.
  18. I thought that was Mr Hankey until I put my glasses on. Once I put my glasses on I was slightly sick in my mouth. Unlike the wife I swallowed it.
  19. I'm out of it after 15 years working with and for BP in some form or another. Now working for the government, hate it.
  20. Thought you were meant to kiss whats under the mistletoe nae eat it.
  21. Paulo Di Canio Paulo Di Canio Paulo Di Canio Paulo Di Canio
  22. Nope. Sam on the other hand...
  23. nail hit head Also, he's not the only one that does them... The main one they use to sell photos was all the work of Dollydigital as far as I know. The designs for all bar the last that had no design (down to the man in question refusing to work nicely with others) were all other people.
