    Wanna laugh? 

    I went to a shoe shop in Berwick-upon-Tweed Tuesday afternoon and did a wee bet in Chisholm's a North East based betting company while we were there.

    Literally not done any Aberdeen related selection since before Covid-19 stopped us going to matches.

    £15 Luis Lopes Anytime Scorer. Aberdeen vs Partick Thistle.

    Got (11/10) on it.

     

    Went to go collect my £31.50 tonight and boy behind counter hands over my original £15 stake.

    I go;

     

    "He scored the first goal should be £31.50."

     

    They'd marked him down as not playing!!!

     

    Needed to be sent to Head Office to clear everything up and eventually got my money fifteen minutes later.

     

    I said;

     

    "The only thing I can think of is whoever was checking the slip must have seen 'Duk' as one of the four goalscorers and not known that was nickname of Luis Lopes!!!!"

    Could have been better but against that, it xertsinly could have been an awful lot worse

    If we can somehow control Halland then second is ours for the taking.

    Haaland is good but he is not a one man team. 
    Haaland with Man. City - :o
    Haaland with Norway - :-\
    Everyone was panicking about Norway in the playoffs for Euro2020 but they got dumped by the serbians.
    World cup qualifying they lost 3-0 at home to the turks and could only manage a 0-0 at home to Latvia so as I see if they are on par with scotland in terms of erratic performances.

    Georga and Cyprus are usually the type of games which will trip up Clarke & Co

    The world of football management is indeed a fickle business.

    Got to ask what more could they realistically expected from Cooper. Survival in top league was always going to number one objective for Forest.

    Think it would be a scandalous decision if they punted Cooper at this early stage of the season, particularly having backed him yto the extent they did in the last transfer window

    Who'd have thought replacing 72% of the team that got you promoted would cause any problems?

    3,700 tickets sold so far with 300 available, should be a cracking atmosphere. Hopefully the team oblige and put on a good performance.

    Despite the club indicating the Hibs allocation was sold out the upper tier had lots of empty seats

  7. Failed state

    Reports of insider trading to short the pound among other things however if the Police etc start an investigation the government pulls their funding. Not sure if thats always been an option or something brought in over the last decade or so but whole thing reminds me of Armando Iannucci's film 'The Death of Stalin'

    They have least got 3 different metro lines with 20 minutes of stadium so at least got a reasonable options for public transport. 

    Bloody selfish socialist europeans with their adequete public services.

    Never sparing a thought for the cayman and virgin island economies or their private school friend's bank balances

  9. Seemed to be timewasting from the moment Duk scored which is pathetic.

    This is hibs not brazil 1970 and the longer it takes to put them under pressure in their own half the less likely they will concede

    The passing out from the back was an accident waiting to happen as soon as hibs realised the dons were happy to sit back and yet they persisted making the defence work harder than was necessary
