Questionable? Unpredictable? Borderline illegal?

Someone going to edit the title or should this thread be abandoned? Anyway this seasons conference league shall feature the following Lincoln Red Imps (Gibraltar) Shelbourne & Shamrock Rovers (Eire) Hamrun Spartans (Malta) Pots for the draw so no trip to Gibraltar

Hibs doing their best to change the meaning of 'hibsed it'

Im assuming failing to respond accordingly to 'well this insnt the final everybody wanted eh panda?' and 'what do you think Neil Lennon would do if he was here?' killed off any future prospects

To paraphrase Tam Cowan 'If ever a team needs a result....'

Is what it is but just because some clownshow comes calling doesnt mean you have to have to work for them especially if its only a short term contract with a company that has a bad record of paying for things without lawyers and courts getting involved. Im thinking Miovski is like old Arild. 'Ive seen Scotland, Ive seen Spain, lets try Turkey/ Netherlands/ Austria etc etc'

Good to see the late 90s/ early 2000s Paramount & Ministry bouncers still getting a gig

At current building costs thats one small leisure centre. Might have enough space for a pool table if you dont mind angling the cues up the wall on 3 sides

Arabs and Livi Oot Postponing next weekend's game possibly helping Goodwin & co more than the Dons

Playing with 10 men now. Dons player just walked off the pitch and no subs left

Lot of aftersun needed tonight

Not unless there was a mad rush on friday. About 900 tickets were left when I checked on Thursday. Reckon had there been more positive performances/ results against tic and jambos they would have all been snapped up Be nice if a player wearing a dons shirt actually scored (at the right end)

For anyone going tomorrow (or if you know someone going), if you want to buy any food at the ground make sure you take cash. Back on Hogmanay vs Partick the only 'refreshments' on offer was an independant burger van parked behind the wee dublin end and they didnt take card payments. It might be different tomorrow but better to be prepared

Stadium, 180 bed hotel, conference centre, health spa and retail (lot of non football things to go wrong there). 4.5miles away from oxford centre in neigbouring town of Kidlington but doea have the bonus of a railway station This is similar to Bolton shifting to the Reebok except unlike Oxford they werent getting evicted from their old ground and had parachute payments from the premier league to help finance it Great they got planning approval but that just means the council will let them build it. Actually getting the builders on site on the other hand.....

I think Lincoln Red Imps just guaranteed themselves a place in the Conference League group stage

Hibs Goalie History (starting just after I turned up) Alan Rough 1982-1988 Andy Goram 1987-1991 John Burridge 1991-1993 Jim Leighton 1993-1997 Ever since then......

Price of materials and labour etc has gone through the roof in last 5 years (something happened about the start of February 2020 but no one seems to know. Lots of politicians and journalist wont even talk about it so it must be really bad) A £10million development in 2017 could be closer to £25million now. There are certain brands ill try to avoid specifying as their price per m2 went from £12 to £45 and sometimes you can no longer get it shipped to the UK. My gut is starting to say if anything happens stadium wise it will be pittodrie redevelopment likely after (or 'if) 'safe standing' becomes widely accepted in Scotland (not just small sections). New Main, Merkland and South stand with the latter two having only rail seating. Capacity for European games cut to circa 13000 but for domestic games 20000 assuming the 1 rail seat = 2.5 standing ratio is correct. Funding for this will come from selling the land earmarked for the new stadium as housing.

Got an email from the club today 'We have around 600 supporters in this area which will be at capacity. Due to the way the tickets were issued to us this area will be unallocated seating. We kindly ask that the front couple of rows are used for ambulant disabled supporters to minimise the number of steps they are required to take. As this area will be at capacity, please ensure you fill rows completely, not leaving single seats, to ensure all supporters and families can be seated together. Stewards will be on hand to assist on the day' My ticket arrives today and I've been allocated a seat. Can see this turning into a traditional scotrail train journey

memo being drafted to SPL referees to warm up the red and yellow cards as the new dons player is prone to 'fouls' and 'bullying defenders and goalies'

The people of Elgin and the bustling metropolis of Brechin would agree. Just to clarify, Inverness also has a cathedral

Commentators said the chance was gone but he was never gonna give it up

Im not sure who the author is but surely a BBC Highlands & Islands Reporter should know Inverness is a City? It bugs me eiither no one proof read this or worse they did. Meanwhile down south clubs like Hamilton, Edinburgh City, Clyde etc are positively thriving in their urban environments

Yes I shall be attending. Decided against standing in the open as that 'terrace' seemed pretty precarious when it was empty let alone with 1000+ on it. With a proper terrace or standing in a plastic seat area there is less chance of a 'David Busst' should you fall forward in a goal celebration
