  3. Not until they are knocked out it isnt
  4. I'm blaming the medications
  5. Arabs join St Johnstone in the top flight teams being eliminated group. No one team has qualified for the next round yet but Airdrie and Ross County look pretty much certain
  6. And following on from North Lanarkshire kicking Clyde out of Broadwood for signing him, glasgow council potentially terminating lease agreement with glasgow united for playing him in a friendly match
  7. I'd blame the design of Eden Park. Terrible stadium for atmosphere compared to the 'Cake Tin' and whatever the new Dunedin stadium is called (They still had the 'house of pain' Carisbrook when I was there).
  8. Consult AFC heritage instead (Im only going back through my lifetime) Season opening games against the tic (first home for either) 2022/23 - Tic 2-0 Dons (Welsh & Jota) 2012/13 - Tic 1-0 Dons (Kris Commons with 12 mins left) 2009/10 - Dons 1-3 Tic (Watched in Curlers on Byers Road (full of tic fans). Mcgeady (2) and McDonald made it 3-0 by HT. Aluko got one back) 1999/00 - Dons 0-5 Tic (Larrson and 2 from Viduka made it 3-0 at HT. Jess missed a penalty almost straight from the restart before Larson and Burchill fininshed it off. Shite day all round with bunch of Tic fans trying to start a fight with me and my much younger mate pre match as we were walking through Codonas, then having their away support singing 'Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Aberdeen' after the 5th goal went in. 1998/99 - Dons 3-2 Tic (Perry, made it 1-0 at HT followed by Blinker OG and Hignett. Larsson scored 2. Tic missed 2 of 3 penalties) 1996/97 - Dons 2-2 Tic (Van Hooijdonk free kick making it 1-0 at HT. Alan Stubbs sent off with Windass scoring the penalty. Shearer then made is 2-1 with 9mins left only for a sickening last minute equaliser by Andreas Thom). 1995/96 - Dons 2-3 Tic (All goals in first half. Boyd OG quickly followed by Jess. Then Collins(2) and Thom scored with the third for me being the start of the demise of Snelders) 1990/91 - Tic 0-3 Dons (0-0 at half time then Mason, Connor, & Ghillhaus came along) 1981/82 - Dons 1-3 Tic (Strachan opened scoring then Tommy Burns and Frank Mcgarvey (2) turned it round)
  9. Leon Mike, Lubomir Blaha. I will disagree on Mackie though (presuming thats who you are calling Dazzler)
  10. So for the optomists out there its either Dublin or Athens next may for the final
  11. Julian Sands -65 Still havent managed to watch the film 'warlock' after it creeped me out back when my sister rented the video in the early 90s.
  12. No help now but should a similar situation arise in the future megabus now do buses between Glasgow and Edinburgh through the night - 1am, 2am, 3am etc.
  13. Suggestion game will get shifted to St Mirren park tomorrow if it cant get played tonight
  14. I used 'yourparkingspace.co.uk' when I went to see Preston vs Wigan. Probably not an issue for a pre season friendly but for £6 I got to park on someones drive, 10mins walk from the stadium for the entire afternoon. There were also various carparks taking cash in hand payments but people were stuck in the jam at the end of the game whereas my space was clear of all that
  15. Stockley & Pawlett at Rugby Park in 2017 springs to mind
  16. Armenia strikers with 4 cracking goals. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo9KsdV_2_o&pp=ygUNd2FsZXMgYXJtZW5pYQ%3D%3D
  17. Commentator on BT Sport refered to it as 'the greatest story in football' or words to that effect.
  18. So West Ham prove a diddy team can win a european trophy in these fucked up times. Final for the Europa league is in Dublin Conference league is still to be decided (for whatever reason)
  19. When he played for motherwell they finished 9th and 7th. Dons finished 6th and 8th
  20. BBC picked it up now. Seems he was negotating to buy Morecombe but couldn't provide evidence of sufficient funding. Reminds me of Hearts after Arabs and Pars had told Romanov to GTF Perhaps hes just discovered Dark side of the Moon and is working his way through the lyrics of 'Money'
  21. Missed out the 2-2 and 1-1 draws with Hibs & Falkirk there. The Hibs draw saw the dons go 2-1 up with 4mins to go only for hibs to go straight up the other end and equalise. Id say the low point for me was September 2003. Was moving house and in had planned to get everything done by lunchtime so I could go to the Partick Thistle game but decided give it a miss and despite having a season ticket I didnt go to another game till the end of August 2004. The whole atmosphere at the club seemed so depressing.
  22. Some online 'newspage' called 'the athletic' reporting a 21 year old entrepreneur is in the frame to buy them. Apparently no real signs of wealth and very little details about his companies at companies house
  23. Wigan directors now resigning after owner once again failed to deliver promised cash. I sense a winding up petition will be appearing soon
  24. Which is as per my original post. Was wondering where you were getting all your scenarios from. Based in Wikipedia the pontial oppenents are from either Pot 3 or 4. Cant say I back the teams chances against Maccabi Haifa, Olympiacos, Slavia Prague or Lugano but who knows
