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

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.

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

Europa league qualifier - dons vs NSI Runavik
tom_widdows replied to manc_don's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
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)
-
Personally I still don't get the hype and dare I say it hero worship that has been thrown at Moult by certain sections of the Dons fans. The consensus being his exploits at Motherwell would have continued and even improved under the McInnes model whereas I my mind always goes back to Nick Blackman (I know Blackman was a Brown signing but Dons still didnt have the same gameplan as Motherwell did at the time). Anyway Moult was unlucky to do his cruiciate ligament (as did Stevie May when he was at Preston) so whether or not he will ever be the same player as he was at Motherwell or Wrexham remains to be seen.

Yes but how many corners?

Europa League 2020-21 Qualifying Draw
tom_widdows replied to SeeBass's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Barry Town got their asses handed to them 5-1 Was 0-0 at half time NSI Runavik at Pittodrie this time next week. Hopefully by the the Dons will have worked out how to string more than 2 passes together -
Certainly hope so. As far as I'm concerned the longer PSG go without winning anything outside of France the better

Video should play from the free kick
