United Missing Ciftci and Roberston Considine & Hayes out for Dons - Pawlett might play

Id still prefer to see the club experiment with a sliding scale of ticket prices ie If you buy the tickets 1 month in advance they are say half price, 3 weeks in advance 2/3 of the price, 2 weeks in advance 3/4 of the price. After that its full price whether you buy them early from the ticket office or at the turnstiles on the day. The issue with this is of course how you solve the season ticket conundrum. I haven't been to a home match for a while now so are they still continuing with a fixed price per ticket or have they brought back the category system - ie Celtic or Rangers match is more expensive to attend that a Kilmarnock or St Johnstone match?

Sally's paycut paying dividends

In/oot: Oot Prematch: Work Match: Radio while working Post match: Fuck all Prediction: 1-0 Zola (yes thats right!!!) Quick look at the fixtures. Dons win their next 3 games, Celtic turn over the arabs on the 5th, Motherwell take out Caley on the 1st and that would pretty much tie up a UEFA cup spot before the split.

Fuck sake Fallon!!!!

Oot Skype meeting and numerous phonecalls whilst trying to keep an eye on the BBC text updates Staying up late 1-0 County (yes thats right!!)

By the way those chosing the main stand be warned. Some of the seats on the lowest tier are actually behind the copeland road stand (and vice versa on the opposite end). This is a remnant from when Ibrox was a bowl shape like hampden and you cannot actually see the goal or a large chunk of the pitch from them. Ive done first aid there and the only times i saw those seats sold was an old firm match but given how stupid the SFA are i wouldnt put it past them selling them to Dons and saints fans

Saints are not expecting to take more than 5k

I would absolutely love it if this sold out. Even if we lose the match it sets the benchmark for any future cup semi and/ or final appearances against the gruesome twosome and will give the SFA a headache

70000 apparently

Whatever number they say make sure you add 3000

Yeah I thought the same given the RDS upper tier was actually open. However thinking about the killie fans allocaiton it probably works out about right. Great to see the Merkland full-ish and used for a display like the RDL too

Least you didnt feel the need to specify the size of a bodypart this time

Pointed out on Off the ball today that the way Hibs are carrying on now they could actually be dragged back to the playoff spot. Imagine Both Hibs & Hearts going down in the same season

Well thats the - 4 win/loss - 1 defeat pattern broken Rest of the season is up for grabs

This is a big test today Being a superstitious muppet this game is down as a defeat. There has been a pattern of win/draw 4 then lose one for a while now. If we lose this my I predict we will get turned over by St Johnstone at ibrox and true to form its 1-0 kille already

Canadians havent heard of the Human League either

Only if St Mirren, County & Partick pick up points this weekend. Otherwise the obligation falls to the men in red

Formantine stick 10 past Huntly in the Highland league Double hat trick from C. Keith And in other news Man united take advantage of Greek teams being shit away from home

I know Hayes is out for 6 weeks but surely we have better options?

surely for accuracy sake it should be a chart of each manager's first season?

'Can the arabs have more seats Sally?' 'No!' 'Sorry guys we tried' I presume that they are also taking rangers last semi final attendance into consideration. approx 22000 sold from a 33000 allocation for a lunchtime kick off on their own doorstep.

Sportsound tonight was slightly interesting. Had the Arabs chairman on and I believe he said he felt safer in with his own supporters than he would do in the directors area at Ibrox. Apparently he was getting threatened last time he went there in the cup. They then got ex SfA prick George Peat on the phone (believe this is the same twat who cut Ross County's and Dundee's training funding for breaching an SFA rule on disclosures that wasnt required under scottish law) He was against the choice of venue but adamant that tickets should be shared out based on past semi final appearances as it wasn't fair that 40000 odd rangers/ celtic season ticket holders should miss out because the smaller teams might suddenly find an extra 5000-10000 fans who will only come along for the big occasion. One of those moments I found myself cursing at the radio and wishing the sportsound team to ask him if he thought the semi final attendances for the teams outside the OF might be if they played them outside Glasgow with 3pm KO times? Also to task what Aberdeen's allocation might be should we beat St Johnstone next month infront of 25000-30000 dons fans? Could we expect a 50-50 split with the Arabs or blue meanies? Or would it be that with either miss out to Sally's hordes or can bully United to a lower allocation? Would appear the pressure is on Aberdeen & St Johnstone to sell as many tickets as they can as each empty seat will count against them come the end of May. Fucking despair sometimes.

I agree I dont know how long it took to set up sunday's effort but I think that original design would have added a few more hours.
