Its Sporting Lisbon away

Groups for the 3rd qualifying round draw has just been made If the Dons managed to get past Viking these are the potential opponents 1 Budapest Honvéd (HUN) or Malmö (SWE)2 Sporting CP (POR)3 PSV Eindhoven (NED) Only going on reputation but I think option 1 would be the best chance of making the playoff

La liga saying Messi can't leave Barcelona unless someone stumps up the £624million. Seems his contract is up at the end of this season so looks like Barca are onto a loser here. Messi turns up to training as required but doesn't 'perform' when picked to eventually gets dropped and sits it out until next June on a large salary. Maybe there will soon be a 'Messi' transfer ruling which updates the 'Bosman' one

I think we could also factor in the 6 additional years experience Watkins has. Cosgrove still has at least 2 more years of 'development' which may include 'work ethic'

What is the point you are trying to make with this? A court deems that a device capable of recording things in your house should be handed over and the data analysised in a criminal case against you is not new. Home CCTV, Phone records, emails, bank records, all the way back to hand written letters being seized by the police & courts is nothing new. The technology Police Scotland brought in now allows for encrypted devices to be opened rather than having to apply to international companies sometimes operating outside your country's legal systems to release the info. A recent case saw a mobile phone recovered from an arrested drug dealer to be unlocked which revealed the names and locations of his associates leading to further arrests. Personally wouldnt touch an amazon echo, or any of the so called 'home assistants' slightly due to not wanting to given these companies another avenue to get my data, but mainly because I find voice activation technology to be extremely irritating and a further example as to how lazy the 'western' human race is becoming. Anyway Coronovirus I see there was a protest in Trafalgur square this afternoon which included speeches from old Jeremy's older brother and the previously mentioned Mr Icke

I think the 'fear' in this situation is not being shared adequately. Over the last couple of years the legal systems in the UK (North & South of the border) have been under fire from the right wing sections of our governments because Lawyers & Judges have stopped politicians and their cronies from breaking the law to suit their own agendas and publicly rebuked them for trying. Right now if you had a party of say 16 people in your house out in the sticks miles from neighbours and the cops suddenly showed up and their only justificaiton for doing so was they (or someone above them) had tracked mobile phone signals and somehow deduced there was a house party going on, any lawyer worth their salt would have the cops in court for using technology which is illegal. If they show up because a member of the public has made a 'complaint' (given police budgets it will have to be a complaint as a 'tip off' for 16 people will be so far down the priority list the cops wont bother) then its a different story. If the tories & their paymasters helped by the right wing media misleading the public have their way and dismantle the Legal system(s) at the same rate as they are NHS then it is time to start worrying. Then terms such as 'miscarriages of justice' and 'corruption' won't apply as there won't be an actual system. I'm no fan of lawyers but there is a bit in 'Back to the Future Part 2' which has always made me uneasy Marty: " 'Within two hours of his arrest, Martin McFly, Jr. was tried, convicted and sentenced to fifteen years in the state penitentiary.' Within two hours?" Doc: "The justice system works swiftly in the future now that they've abolished all lawyers."

It was done a couple of weeks back to break up a party/ illegal rave. Police helicopters (probably drones too) have thermal cameras which they normally use at night to track suspects who have say, abandoned their getaway car and legged it into the woods or a dark residential area. What is a potential barrier to this being used by a Stasi, Minsitry of Love etc all over the UK is Police budgets. Police helicopters and drones are expensive so the way our wonderful Tory fuckwits are carrying on, eventually there could only be about 3 helicopters and max 10 drones for every single police force in the country to share

Chadwick Boseman - 43

Dionne Warwick (Written by Burt Bacharach)?

Bolingoli gets an actual 3 game ban with an additional 2 games suspended till February 28th

3 game suspended ban all round (suspended till February 28th)

Just been to see 'Tenet' at one of the local Cineworlds Slightly strange atmosphere in the building which reminded me a bit of a Terry Gilliam film. Completely silent although I doubt it will be like that tonight, tomorrow & Sunday. Im not really a fan of Christopher Nolan's films and I probably wouldnt have chosen to see if if there was anything else on but it was well done and I didn't recognise Kenneth Branagh. If you liked 'Inception' theres a good chance you will like this.

Will the lizards finally reveal themselves though?

Thats about the time pricks like to send emails that will stress your out and ruin your weekend. Anywhere between 4pm and 445pm, click send then leg it out of the office to avoid the angry phone call

Think I like every single bit of guitar (and bass) in this one

Coleraine just knocked out Maribor on penalties

At the moment the Dons are supposedly Seeded (not sure how) so avoid the likes to Spurs, AC Milan, Wolfsburg, Galatasary, Basel to name a few. I think if Coleraine manage to put Maribor out (currently in extra time and Maribor just missed a penalty) that Motherwell will also be seeded

More successful at Hibs than he was at Bolton Finished 18th in his first season and the following season he left in March with them bottom of the league (22.8% win ratio). Bolton were eventually relegated

Tic OOT (or rather relegated to the Europa League 3rd Qualifying round)

Tic go 2-1 down with 15mins to go. Starting to believe my initial thought of Sevco having an advantage over them when it comes to the empty stadiums. Tic seem to play alot better with their mob backing them whereas the current sevco team seem to bottle it alot more when in front of their horde.

Lincoln Red Imps awarded a 3-0 win against FC Pristina after the match was postponed twice due to the Kosovan teams players testing positive for Covid upon arrival in Gibralter and being quarantined. Kosovans flew in a second squad (lots of loan players) and 8 of them tested positive upon arrival so went into quarantine. Cynic in me wonders if there is the potential for the Gibraltan authorities to declare any visiting team as being riddled with Covid and seeing how far their teams can get. Next up to visit the rock is Union Titus Petange FC from Luxembourg

Their European football record is as follows Played - 27 Won - 3 (All Home) Drawn - 2 (All Home) Lost - 22 Goals for - 20 (15 home, 5 Away) Goals Against - 75 (32 Home, 43 Away) This is the first season they have made it to the next round of any european competition and to date they have never kept a clean sheet away from home conceiding on average 3 goals. Based on that perhaps Barry Town could have turned it around if it had been a 2 leg tie. However this is the Dons we are talking about so come Thursday.....

I thought that was Curtis Main?

Wright's goal reminds me of this one from nearly 22 years ago

Midfielder apparently. Good luck to him, as he did play a major role in Caley winning the scottish cup (Won the penalty, and set up the second against the tic, scored the first and set up the winner in the final)
