  1. They are not millionaires but surely most people can live on £2,500 per month for a wee while, not like there is anything to spend your money on just now anyway.  There is no reason for them to work.  If it is a choice between saving a couple of million or the players coming back slightly less fit then I know what choice I would be inclined to make.  Would be pretty cheesed off if I were an AberDNA contributer and my money was getting p****d down the drain so that Scott McKenna can do a wee bit of work in the community.  Was our celebrity chairman not insisting last week that we would be as well going into the car park and setting fire to a million pounds each month?

     

    Is the alternative not having Scott McKenna leaving the club under breach of contract rules and signing for Celtic?

     

  2. Where do Uefa get the money from?

     

    I've had a discussion with a hun telling me they will be OK as uefa have guaranteed them the money from the next round! Where does that 6 million come from? Do they even have it to dish out (Der hun must be way down the list).

     

    Similar issues in Aussie rules too, they have asked the player to accept a 50% pay cut for three months and asses it after that, we played the first round behind closed doors so I guess there was some mad Foxtel clause after that was done but there is no money after that!

     

    80% to 25k we are burning 1.3m a month and appears our insurance wont pay out ... i reckon there needs to be some sort of uefa/fifa bail out , but without being cruel if shitty wee clubs disappear then so be it there are far too many clubs in our league

  3. We did it last year. I didn't have to swear to the queen, not even God!!!

     

    The affirmation (the Oath is the religious one) has you swearing your loyalty to Australia and its people, no mention of auld lizzie.

     

    I love it here and am not going back so it was a no brainer for me, I just saw it as a natural step up from 457, PR then citizenship. I feel like I'd just be pretending otherwise. I've also got high school aged kids and it makes a big difference to University fees and the like.

     

    Get it done.

     

    plus the Auzzie passports are cheaper.

  4. What, ever?  Can anyone confirm or repute this?

     

    Depends if we are classing the African Cup of Nations as a Major tournament?

     

    Zero scored in Jan 2002 (Against Burkina Faso) and left Pittodrie in July that year.

  5. That was achieved in a league with a strong Rangers, who have been absent from the top flight during McInnes’ run.

    Last season Hearts and Hibs were also out of the top flight.

     

    Erm A Strong Rangers that finished 5th? Behind Celtic, St Mirren and Dundee Utd. Hibs Finished Bottom and Hearts finished top of Division one!!

  6. I'm worried about this! Seems to be a helluva lot of tickets sold, hope its not Folk buying up all they are allowed and planning to sell them on!

     

    I'm happy though, just found out this afternoon that Crown Casino in Perth have the game on the big screen. The Monday is booked aff!

     

    COYR!!

  7. I moved away at 36 already married with 2 kids. Applied for and got a job internally with my work so I can't really offer advice on how to do it at your age (and I'm clearly scum as I don't have a degree). My only advice would be to go for it, try out new places, new people different cultures.

     

     

    Have a look on some of the expat jobs forums, do the same as you would for jobs in Aberdeen, send your CV out see what you get back.

     

     

    Best of luck!

  8.  

    Spot on MBT. some sections of our support will crucify any new manager before he even gets to the city.  :-[

    I actually think if they announced Fergie was coming back, half our fans would moan about it!!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Incidentally, Swans again this year for me...
