  1. Mccrorie to Bristol City for £2million according to bbc
  2. Yeah ive heard people bitching about how hard it is to get to that pub.
  3. Bolton's ground? Retail park and a Tesco with its own Sushi bar (for some reason) Also got the Bolton indoor arena, a cinema and bowling alley now
  4. Bored of this now. 20years ago while at uni there were 'masterplans' which included trams and modifications to the beach which included new stadium. A big difference was fancy 3D computer images weren't as quick or cheap to produce plus social media was basically 'myspace' and 'friends-reinited' so news articles were fairly dull and wordy and didnt get much traction. Modified Pittodrie with smaller capacity seems to be the future. Start putting more effort into the rail seating campaign in the hope it can be installed behind both goals and authorities allow for increased capacity when set to standing (eg 3000 seats becomes 5000 standing or something similar). Will mean smaller capacity for Euro and international games but so be it. Have had a couple of trips to aberdeen which took me around the kingswells area and frankly putting a new stadium out there without a proper rail link or a significant upgrade to the bypass exit is a non starter for me. Recently got to see Bolton's stadium which is in Horwich, a mere 6miles from the old Burnden Park (Cormack park is 8miles from pittodrie). Cant imagine they would have gotten away with it had the site not been next to the M61 and without a rail link.
  5. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-65337701 Administrators of a sportswear brand are proceeding with a multi-million pound legal claim against Rangers following a kit sales dispute. A lawyer acting for the administrators of Elite Sports Group Ltd said it was going ahead with the case at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. Elite wanted £9.5m compensation over an alleged breach of contract after Rangers signed a deal with Castore. It claims Elite was contracted to provide the team with kits at the time. Elite, the exclusive brand partner to Danish sportswear company Hummel, had instructed lawyers to proceed with the case in Edinburgh last November. It wanted £9.5m from Rangers but Elite went into administration soon after the case called.
  6. Perfect. Will fill that massive 'Curtis Main' shaped hole in the current squad
  7. Yes but was he the 3rd or even 4th keeper to play in that/ those season(s)?
  8. Sorted. Motherwell's top 6 hopes ended. See if hibs can hibsit next weekend and livi sneak into the top 6
  9. Perhaps your manager sending you out to spend 90mins getting battered by a tic team who had not that long b4 been done by St Mirren with the plan being to get a 0-0 draw would put the seeds of mutiny on anyones mind. It certainly would for me even more so when with 3 mins left, plan A is fucked and yer breathing out yer arse yer told to throw the kitchen sink at the best defence in the league who are so well rested they could have set up deck chairs in their own penalty area. Getting outclassed by superior opponents is one thing. For your manager to tell you to let them walk over you on your home patch is another. He doesnt believe in you, so why should you believe in him?
  10. Rico beats me to it 1993-94 Theo Snelders Michael Watt Derek Stillie John Burridge 1999-00 Jim Leighton Ryan Esson David Preece 2011-12 David Gonzalez Jason Brown Jamie Langfield
  11. As to be expected in a 'UK' bid, 6 stadiums in Englandshire and 1 each for the other home nations and Eire Cynic in me says picking Everton's new ground is a potential rescue for them given the FA will potentially stump up some of the funding to get it back on track. Englandshire 1. Wembley 2. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 3. Etihad Stadium 4. Everton Stadium 5. St James' Park 6. Villa Park Scotland 7. Hampden Wales 8. Principality (millenium) stadium Northern Ireland 9. Casement Park (to be constructed) Eire 10. Aviva Stadium
  12. So hibs up to their old tricks again. Perhaps motherwell sneak in to the top6 in 2 weeks time adding additional delay to the tic title party
  13. I think for any future polls about anything the old donstalk traditional options of 'Brown' and 'Dolly is ginger' must be included otherwise it cant be taken seriously
  14. Tic getting 3 home OF games? Might want to distance yerself from that source
  15. 75 Panda 74 73 72 RedKev 71 TLG 70 69 Madbadteacher 68 67 Elgindon 66 65 - manc 64 63 DantheDon 62 61 60 - BigAl 59 58 - Jute 57 56 - Wee Toon Red 55 - Lazy cunt named Slim 54 53 - Tom_Widdows 52 51 50 49 48 47 (Top 6 secured and officially safe from relegation)
  16. Lauren D'Jaffo and Leigh Hinds STOPPABLE!!!
  17. Whats he done with teams that dont have money to spend?
  18. Why? so he could stick around for a half a season until a lower level English premiership or championship team with Murodoch's tv cash sacks their manager and he jumps ship?
  19. Stuff like that which gives me some comfort after latest bout of english optimism
