Aberdeen Ladies were called Aberdeen in name only. The club helped them with strips, but they appointed their own coaches, organised their own games, etc.

Now Aberdeen Women, their new name, are officially part of the club, the new management team has been appointed by the club, and they will use the club facilities for training such as sports science and all that jazz. Once Kingsford is built they'll be training there too.

Called in for judicial review:

Ailsa Wilson QC, for the campaign group, said: "One of the factual issues that runs through this case is the availability of an alternative site for the proposed stadium and training facilities."

Just nimbyism (is that a word? It is now).

The alternative site they're pushing for is Loirston. All the issues they've argued against at Kingsford would be issues at Loirston - increased traffic, fans parking in streets, the need for shuttle buses, only one main access road from the city, the likelihood that it would encourage more drive through restaurants to be built there, that "green belt land" would be built on.

It undermines their whole campaign. How can you say all these things are dreadful yet champion them for another area?

That, and the council have sold land at Loirston so there is no room for a training ground and stadium. Same with Kings Links. But they'll stick their fingers in their ears and continue with their petition anyway.

YAWN! can we get back on topic please gents.

Anyone got any news/rumours? What happened with the Shaughnessy offer? Is he still considering his options? I reckon he's a replacement for Reynolds.

If they want to debate, let them. It's what the forum is about. You don't have to read the posts.

Oh its one of those projects is it? They are fun....unless you are in 2nd year when they are a pain in the arse cutting into your socialising time and requiring 3 straight allnighters to get something on the wall before you are ripped apart by tutors but still given a C so you pass anyway.

 

Ah well I look forward to seeing it on Urban Realm in a few weeks, perhaps even in new scientist with this magical ability to have multiple people occupy the exact same space at the same time and still comply with current Scottish Building & Fire regulations.

 

I am intrigued that adapting (or perhaps even moving) the RDS is not mentioned in your post but maybe thats part of a bigger secret your fishing partner is keeping from you

Reminds me of someone criticising the club for not building the RDS closet to golf road. Were unconcerned that doing that would have meant the stand was essentially outside the stadium.

BBC have awarded it to Stewart (as have those sheisters Sky), so that's why I'd presumed it was from the radio. Ridiculous though, it's clearly Ferguson.

That's PA that have said Stewart. In the actual report it says Ferguson.

Not said often this season, so I'll say it. Thought the referee was good tonight, let a lot of good tackles go and let the game flow.

I'm not sure where this Stewart nonsense was coming from (the radio apparently), but it was 100% Ferguson. Cosgrove header and Ferguson knocked it in.

Surely it wasn't from the radio, as it was Derek Ferguson who was doing open all mics. If he can't even tell the difference between his son and Stewart then is he even the dad?

Heard a couple of days ago that we were in talks with Joe Shaugnessy , appears we are & St.J gaffer has confirmed it.  Could be a decent addition .

Odd one if it happens. Was McInnes that punted him, no? Also likely only to be a back up to Devlin and McKenna.

Greg Stewart back but it's just another loan.

Must be in negotiations over a permanent contract, otherwise why else would they send him on loan after recalling him from Killie.

Loan is probably so he can play this weekend.

Fuck no, I wouldn’t take that. Given what we knocked back in the summer, 8 million is a fair number to consider. An average at best hendry and an aging Hayes no thank you. If he leaves I’m pretty certain it’s to England.

We knocked back much less than that in summer. Milne has already said the offer from Villa was nowhere near the £6.5m figure that was quoted.

Rumours on the Celtic forums and Twitter that a deal has been agreed in Dubai between Aberdeen and Celtic for McKenna.

£4m plus Hendry and Hayes. No idea if they're loans or permanent (one would have to be permanent at least as can't loan two players from same club).

Could be a lot of shite and one guy's story has grown arms and legs. But, if that deal was on offer, would you take it?

For me, as long as there was a sell on clause included should Celtic eventually sell him on for big money, I'd take it.

It was the "wages to be covered by Cormack personally" that says to me there could be something in it......

 

(the terrific possible signing, nae Nathan f@cking Delfounso obviously)

You've been had mate. Johnny Russell is not currently on a flight to Dubai. The boy Galloway is also a lot of shite, while Delfounso was from the well known troll Agent Kevin.

It's weekends like this I'm a bit jealous we don't have a derby to look forward to.

Everyone else getting fired up for a full house, city derby. Easter Road for one will be rocking. Inverness, Glasgow, Lanarkshire all got big games. Had the Dundee and Renfrewshire teams been in the same division they'd have derbies too.

And we've got Livingston.

Suppose you can't have it two ways. I like Aberdeen being a one-team city, but seems we have something missing from the fixture list.

Stick with a winning team.

Was good to see Forrester on the pitch the other night. Still have hope he'll turn out to be a good un.

Now that the league is over for yet another year - before the end of September - what are your hopes and dreams?

 

 

I don't give a fuck what any survey says. I don't need to hear the views of others to know what I think.

Ram it.

I don't give a fuck what any survey says. I don't need to hear the views of others to know what I think.

Then why are you on a forum you melt.

In fact don't answer. It'll just be a lot of garbage anyway.

Write up on new Kingsford survey results.

Good to see Forrester back in the squad after his personal issues. If he gets on hope the crowd give him a good reception.

Many might not know, but his sister died a few weeks ago which is why he's been missing from the squad.

 

You didn't read my post then did you? His job isn't scoring goals because he can't do that. But he's generally failing to make life difficult for defenders too which is what a man of his size should be doing more of.

Yeh I did. I agreed with you.

Reckon it'll be a draw.

It would be best if you fucked off you boring cunt.

 

At least the sick and twisted are interesting posters.

This forum would be a far, far better place (and probably a lot busier) without you jumping in and ruining every thread.

There's a reason why you've been bounced off every forum you've been on.

Why estranged? Were you penetrating him in his infancy or childhood to satiate your odd need to involve males in your sex? Although it's not odd or abnormal at all these days apparently. But you did say straight sex was a "chore".

 

Or did you pick a bad woman to procreate with and "she's turned the weans against us"?

Don't encourage him. Hopefully he'll get bored and fuck off soon.

Fuck it, I'll stick my neck out yet again, and defend Cosgrove. He won 8 out of 10 headers and brought others in to play when it was played at his feet. He was isolated again, and how can he blamed when he is doing his job? It's not like he wasn't winning headers and was giving the ball away. He did his job, the Ferguson's and the Shinnie's didn't do theirs, yet no one is having a go at them 

 

Cosgrove is not the answer if we are to play 1 Striker, I know that, but he did his job yesterday, but appears many would rather we went with the utterly inept May 

 

Nobody should take that as a personal insult, I am just struggling to understand why Cosgrove is the fall guy when he didn't put a foot wrong.

Agreed. It's not like he's fluffing easy chances or giving the ball away. People simply look at how many goals he scores.

But he should be playing alongside a goalscorer rather than being relied upon.

The most sickening thing today was the Strathclyde Police and their handling of the young fool who went on to the pitch.

No the most sickening thing was getting beat. Fuck that little cunt for getting the game stopped when we're 1-0 down and running out of time in a cup final. Cops did a fine job, I'd have leathered him myself given the chance.

And your point is?

It's someone from AFC Chat trying to be hilarious.

It'll either be Rumpus, who is a twat, or someone pretending to be him for the absolutely hilarious Lolz.

Virgins, the lot of them.

Kinda related. Okay, not related, though it's Aberdeen Council and planning. But I see labour have made a pig's ear of their marquee election commitment with the city rail link to the new AECC and airport, not realising there's houses in the way. Did no-one think to check a map at any stage?

Looking forward to labour announcing a rail link to Kingsford in order to win votes before the next election, knowing fine well it'll never happen.
