Soooo basically they've dusted off a plan from about 20 years ago but have now added in shifting the railway station. I can only presume moving the railway station would allow them to build that shopping mall the city is in desperate need of

The important word in yon statement is 'currently' By all means Pittodrie could stand for another 100 years but as to how much of it is open for spectators come 2113 is another matter. Of course the other factor is how many people will continue to bother turning up as it slowly falls into disrepair.

Because yer a 33 year old alcoholic

oooh is this the early stages of the fabled 'cross rail' dream they were playing with about 12years ago? Of are the locals so lazy they cant be arsed walking up bridge street?

4,897 brave souls turned up to watch this 'cracking cup tie'

If this goes to penalties http://i.imgur.com/B77fx.gif

well at least we have kept a clean sheet....so far

Chances are we will be in the old timber main stand so if yer tall bring some padding for yer shins

109 years since they last beat the dons? Fate, Karma, Murphy, Loki etc have all suddenly taken an interest

Im willing to concede to anyone with more knowledge on the subject than me. What I've posted comes from discussions with an ex North sea Rigger (14 years with Britoil & BP) and self confessed Aeroplane nut.

Simple fact is helicopter as an aircraft is not as safe as a plane. Plane's engine(s) fail the pilot at least has the ability to glide and control a chance of controlling a crash landing. I would presume part of the annual top up training commercial pilots go through in the simulator is how you crash land in numerous conditions and terrains. When a plane lands on water the shape and design makes it actually quite stable so in theory it will take alot longer to sink, certainly long enough to get the survivors out and onto life rafts. Helicopter engine fails and it drops out of the sky. They are also extremely unstable which is one of the reasons riggers do the training in the water tank when the mock helicopter cabin is dropped into the water and then turns upside down. Even if the airbags deployed when it hit the water even in a mild swell it wont take much to capsize and then it comes down to several factors such as how experienced the passengers are, how well they can actually cope with the shock of the initial crash and suddenly being submerged into sea water, that they didnt inflate or accidentally activate their life jacket before they managed to get out through the windows etc. The Superpuma has been used since the late 70s and given the number of flights they make around the world every day they are about as safe as a helicopter can be. Like all aircraft they go through serious checks before they are allowed to take off and if any fault is found in any aircraft it is not allowed to leave the ground until 1) they fixed the faults and 2) they know what caused it 3) they know how they fixed it. The sad fact is compared to a plane the helicopter is a deathtrap.

Think the football authorities will be the least of his worries Id be more concerned about the police, Lawyers, & Bricktop

Looks like a fairly decent crowd at Firhill tonight Seems the away fans are now getting stuck in the old main stand rather than behind the goal. Well except for Celtic who will get the stand behind the goal (about 900 less seats) after being supposedly banned from the main stand (mostly timber construction) due to their use of fireworks at recent matches. Hope the pricks in our support don't do anything stupid in September.

Good thing for me was McGinn picking the ball up and taking it back to the halfway line after scoring the 1st penalty. Not content with just drawing level

6500 wigan fans apparently Crowd is over 80000 too

Anyone know roughly how many wigan fans turned up at wembley today? Looks like 3/4 of the stadium is Man United

about 5000 so no chance

pubs have a duty of care to their customers and that extends to the company they employ to provide their security. Few years back the pub in the galleria told its doorman he was not allowed to use his radio to call an ambulance for a girl who had collapsed in the street outside because it would need to be reported as an incident on their premises. He was also not allowed to help because they were paying him to guard the door End result was muggins here had to keep the girl alive at the same time as balancing the mobile on my shoulder trying to convince the switchboard that blood leaking from head requires more than a plaster.

Unless yer last name is Broadfoot

106 games in 7 years (15 games a season) Significant injuries throughout his career. our physio team must be wet as an otter's pocket at that prospect

Abandoned for a project which didnt even apply for outline planning permission so they lost their funding and will now need to seek it out in the middle of a recession. That council is a fucking joke

and there it is 6-0 down at home. 8-0 on aggregate

7-0 on aggregate now Another goal and Hibs can take our label of 'worst scottish team performance in Europe'
