Construction firm posts losses in time of recession oooh the sensation of it all

What makes you think a scottish cup quarter final down there would make any difference to the attendance?

I didnt take an interest in football till 1993 so can anyone tell me if they reckon Alex ferguson would have come out slating the fans for that reaction had his team scraped a draw against lower league opposition? Considering the way he reacted after winning the 1983 scottish cup I just cant see it. I know Mcghee will never be fergie but id like to think he would be influenced by his managerial style.

BBC are getting worse I recall this was when Diamond flattened the goalie after he tipped it over the bar and the ref gave a corner. Do they even bother to send reporters to the game these days? Some of the chanting for calderwood came from the guys behind us and the chants werent for calderwood per say. they were more along the 'we spent a lot of money to get this cunt in and hes no better if not worse than the last lot'. Which at the risk of being declared short sighted I can sympathise with. I trust old mark has noted the fans response to him pulling kerr

in/oot: In Pre-match: Driving a bus full of cunts Match: Away End Post Match: Driving a bus full of pissed up and pissed off cunts Prediction: 1-0 Raith (because Ive not seen us win or score a goal this season and it would just sum things up)

Thank fuck you wont be there then

March 18th - Royal Concert hall March 27th - The Garage May 19th - Clyde Auditorium

JIm spence just said Maclean has signed and we are currently in negotiations for Jim Patterson (apparenlty we are 'getting there'

Could always fuck with their heads and in the pubs before the game all raith and dons fans swap tickets. See what the stewards do then

Gotta love inconsistency Win today and we'd only have been 8 points behind unite with 2 games in hand. Instead its 11 points with 2 games in hand

Replay on wednesday then

March 8th

Can anyone explain why we didnt get a penalty when mackie reached the ball before gallagher, tapped it goalwards and got fucked over in the process before the st mirren guy cleared it? The ref just walks towards the decked mackie shrugging his shoulders?

What do you mean 'got rid of'? Is it still standing or have they actually demolished it? If the former , if there were 5000 aberdeen fans wanting tickets ill bet they would dust it off pretty sharpish. Airdrie on the other hand only use 1 of their stands for home fans (capacity 3500). As with Raith Im pretty sure they would dust off the 6500 seats (Old firm allocation) if aberdeen wanted them.

Potential swap deal? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/falkirk/8447408.stm

Id say some of the best things they could do would be 1) to drop this stupid minimum stadium capacity rule for that has been a major factor in fucking clubs up over the last 10 years. If Standing isnt an option then just make it yer stadium has to be all seated. If that means you only get 3000 seats then so be it. Just make sure you get yer tickets early. Only 5 SPL clubs get 10,000 or more at their home games. Rest range from 3000 - 7000. Most of the 1st division clubs are struggling to get 2000 at their games so to insist they have to suddenly provide 6000 seats they will only fill when the green and blue priks come calling is ridiculous. That rule was set up soley to appease the old firm. 2) A choice between grass with underoil heating or decent astroturf pitches. Making hamilton rip up theirs was ludicrous IMO and it lost them quite a large source of income (and yet the SPL claim they have their clubs interests at heart?). If the Russians and scandinavians can play on them then theres no reason why scotland shouldnt. and the playoff is a must. If you cant have 2 automatic relegation spots then id make the playoff teams be those finishing in 10th & 11th in the SPL and 2nd & 3rd in the 1st. Draw the semis out of a hat too with 2 leg semis with the teams drawn at random and the final played at say Mcdiarmed Park or Airdries stadium (larger venue if required but NEVER hampden)

Last season after 17 games we had 24 points, scored 19 goals, conceided 19goals This season after 17 games we have 21 points, scored 13goals, conceided 18goals

Correct me if im wrong but that does not appear to include red cards dished out after the final whistle - Rangers, Hearts & Hamilton etc Plus hearts & Hibs each had a player sent off yesterday

Hibs equalise Mcormack and Palazeulos been sent off for headbutting each other Seems hearts cant stand the prospect of us taking their red card league title

But to be fair you dont expect that sort of thing in first class

Im getting fed up of this what exactly is Mcghee saying to them in the halftime talks? Is this some sort of revolutionary new training idea 'if ya can win games with 10 then you will win leagues with 11???'

Busy month of January. Hope they have taken advantage of their extra weeks holiday 2nd - Arabs (Away) 9th - Hearts (home) 12th - St Mirren (away) 16th - St Johnstone (Away) 19th - Falkirk (home) 23rd - Kilmarnock (home) 27th - Hearts (Away) 30th - Motherwell (home) and if we beat hearts in the cup February 6th - Cup tie February 10th - Hibs (Away) February 13th - Celtic (home - lunchtime kickoff) 11 games in the space of 6 weeks

I still dont think yer dream of a generation of kids suddenly turning to the local teams can ever happen. There are too many alternatives to football (and indeed sport on the whole) which will always tempt kids away. Why bother going to watch the team when you can play as them on yer Playstation or nintendo or watch them on yer sky digital in the warm. You want crowds to build then the only way i can see it happening is to return to the days when the only time you go to see yer team on the TV was the occasional cup final. Saturday night Sportscene had 1 scottish game and a couple of english premier matches. Then you had scotsport on sundays with 1 main match and the goals of all the rest plus division 1 and selected games from division 2. Those older than me will probably recount getting less selection than that. Only way you got to see the team play on the day was to get of yer arse and head to the stadium. And there was no...ah its to cold to go watch East Fife, im staying in or going to the pub to watch Man United on the telly. But now the clubs (or rather the players) have become reliant on the TV money cash cow to pay the bills so unless every single league in the world (or rather england, italy, germany, Holland, france, Spain and Portugal) tells sky etc to go fuck themselves, they are only getting highlights from now on then the 'other' clubs will continue to struggle and see support fall to the basic hardcore.
