Ya might want to get rid of that clip before the Kiwi based boss comes down on ya

Going back a long way to the old afc.co.uk/chat days. He lived down in deepest Kent and was known for posting after he'd had a few.

He inspired the 'arty of the week' award

True but how involved is he in these series now a days? Surely he just sits in a studio and does the voice over....certainly he wasnae in a wee boat jumping into seas full of sharks and jellyfish.

 

Anyway, GET IT WATCHED

 

 

Newswipe, Episode 1

 

25 Mar 2009, 22:30 on BBC Four

Synopsis

 

Charlie Brooker returns to train his sights firmly on news and current affairs.

 

He looks at the news's obsession with the credit crunch, and the potty levels it has reached. Nick Davies authors a piece about the influence the PR industry has over the news and Tim Key performs a poem.

2nd episode is even better

Thats a good call to be fair though i can never see it happening given the reputation the beach end has

Simple answer that has been touted on her before

stick the family section in the main stand section closest to the merkland, shut the upper tier of the RDS except for the bigger games (as it was supposed to be when it was built). 2000 upper tier Fans are then dispersed around the ground and pittodrie actually looks more than 1/4 full.

But that would be madness wouldnt it and there would probably be people who would stop going if they couldnt have their upper tier seat. 

 

Can't imagine where it originated from...

 

I suspect a twat (probably from the Aberdeen journals) was under pressure to write something that could pass for a piece of spin because the 'burley to be sacked after draw/defeat' story he finished at 2pm yesterday so he could go to the pub for the rest of the day fell through, so he starts a rumour and uses contacts amongst the various AFC message boards to atempt to give it some sort of credibility.

This rumour is hardly original since there have been various posts about possible protests (usually written in jest) but bugger me if it isnt a case of hook, rod, line, sinker and copy of Angling times because this little thread has materialised on here and the only surprising thing is the BBC havent stuck a badly written, poorly spelled 'exclusive' on their SPL section.

If none of the tabloids pick up this up (and throw in a little reference to a toaster) then I may have to re-evaluate my opinion on mankind.

But you lot carry on. 

Think the stand would inmprove if they stopped it bing a family section

With the low roof I imagine it would be like a large version of 'the shed' for atmosphere

what happened to 'the cunt from reading'?

no chance motherwell have dropped tickets to £5 again is there?

I was sure that one was a free kick and not a pen, prob wrong though.

Theres youtube footage of that game

Havent seen it for a while but I think it was a penalty

I think the last penalty at ibrox was the league cup quarter final 1993

Id only just taken an interest in football and my dad spent ages fixing the hi fi aerial so i could get the sportsound coverage (MW in the west highlands is pisH0

Game kicked off and the commentator started with the usual stats and after about 10seconds it was PENALTY FOR RANGERS

Of course the fuckers scored it but in the 2nd half in our usual strong comebacks from the period of time we were awarded a penalty

Joe miller scored it and the game went to extra time and Ian Ferguson got the winner for them.

So thats going on 15.5years unless someone can remember a more recent one

IN the run up to the great escape of 1994/95 we were 2-0 down at Ibrox and got it back to 2-2 by halftime (eventually losing 3-2). Was one of them not a penalty? I think shearer and dodds scored the goals.

Hibs, a couple of years ago. Ended in a draw and Killen fell over and hurt himself right at the end, (which was almost the highlight of the game).

Would it not be a certain visit to hampden last season?

 

As for the gas references on here from a minority, put them away please. Absolutely no need for it --- don't even consider doing this at EEP as you'll be collared from the start. Please do not associate yourselves with lower intelligence beings (I'm also referring to some Airdrie and Falkirk fans...) who also think it's fun to bring something like that to our stadium. It just makes you look rather daft in the long run.

Someone gonna explain 'the gas references' and why we would be 'collared' from the start?

means they are opening up the old part of the main stand which has benches as opposed to actual seats

ridiculous 

perhaps an over reaction but think of it this way

you do something that you know is not popular and therefore want to keep it private because you are scared of what people will think of/ do to you

difference is in this case the people in question show their face and carry out their apparent unpopular activity in public 1 day a week

But then feel the need to hide this when posting pictures 'showing off' their antics

I must be fortunate in that ive never partaken or believed in something that i was ashamed or scared that people knew about it

If I was in the Red Ultras, I wouldn't want my face shown on a foto as part of the group at a fitba match, in light of some of the crap printed in the mainstream media in recent weeks. Some of the members have good jobs and it is a shame they now feel ashamed to be part of a supporters club, that's all it is, a supporters club.

 

Also in light of some of the shite that has been directed at them from Aberdeen fans on internet message boards.

So their atempt to try and improve their image and potentially gain some support is to show they are ashamed of who they are?

I cant help but draw comparisons with certain UK residents when their names were found on the BNP membership lists.

I assume its only a matter of time before each member turns up in a balaclava to conceil their identity because of

''some of the shite that has been directed at them from Aberdeen fans on internet message boards''

is there any particular reason why their faces have been blanked out

It makes it look like they are some sort of far right extremist group

doesnt exactly help the guy with the 'supporters not criminals' flag

 

I also know there are arseholes in the Red Ultras - like the prick singing anti-pope songs on the train back from Inverness.

Was that the same cunt who started smoking and proceeded to spit in my face whenever he spoke and then looked shocked when i took umbridge?

As for the annoying flag waving thing

I too get very annoyed when my view of the match is obstructed. If this obstruction happens to be because ther person infront is 7ft tall and cant hep it then ill accept it but when its someone with constantly waving a flag who takes the hump when you ask nicely if they would refrain from doing so during open play then my opinion changes.

Im quite tall and after years of complainign in my ear i have always made a concious effort not to obstruct the view of those behind me be it at a football match, cinema or concert. This usually involves arriving early and making my way to the back row but this isnt always possible. There seems to be some consipracy by the ticket offices to put sit small children or short people direclty behind me in all ticket matches.

The whole 'they bring colour to the matches and should therefore be appreciatted' doesnt wash for me. They need to learn consideration for those around them who may not want to be involved.

You cant have it both ways and perhaps if the whole thing was better organised by both the ultras and the club then relations could be improved. Ideas such as not selling pay at the gate tickets for the ultras section so the typical walk up fan doesnt have to get involved. Dont know how this could work for away matches unless they specifically allocated the back rows only to the Flag waving bridage or perhaps a section at the edges of the stands.

The main problem with this world (not just football)  is that too many people only care about themselves and whether or not they have a good time. In my opinion the Ultras are their own worst enemy

He is a bit scary

Arild Stavrum v Rod Wallace, because you know just by looking into Stavrum's eyes that here's a bloke that wouldn't stop punching and kicking his opponent until he was dragged from his opponents twitching corpse. And that cunt Wallace seriously needs a sorting oot.  Nae that I hold a grudge.  But it's still fresh in my memory.

 

 

 

pissed off I'm going to be in Boston 

There goes my cup run.................

Im going to be in Denver/ breckenridge and Im not pissed off at all

Dunfermline Athletic 0-2 Aberdeen 26-02-1969

 

Replay the very next day?

And theres St Mirren (and indeed us a couple of seasons back)  moaning about 2 games in the space of 3 days

Was it not a match against dundee in 2001. it came during our 9 home wins in a row and had we played that and won and then beaten celtic, Ebbe would have beaten fergies record

I see Motherwell are at it again, this time they aren't allowing the St. Mirren to move their league fixture back 24 hours which means they play 48 hours after a cup game.

 

Motherwell aren't being very nice citizens in the SPL when it comes to this sort of thing.

think you mean hearts

big words hiding behind the pc eh?

 

 

love the fact all the weegies have plenty to say behind the keyboard but nice as pie when you actually speak to me

 

bottle merchants 

And which one of the might 3 GCR are you?
