  1. £10M doesn't even cover their tax bill. But then, that column doesn't appear on the Ibrox EBITDAF spreadsheets. Theirs is just EBIDAF
  2. I was kinda hoping Trump would just pass away from obesity, COVID, tanning oils. But if this is his downfall from the POTUS Pedestal, this is waaaaaay better. Now, where's that popcorn?
  3. Is that like the good old days of Aberdeen Journals, where the EE would create a bit of sensationalism in the form of "Dons looking at World Cup winner", only for the next mornings P&J to quash the "rumour" ?
  4. How long (if not already) til betting is suspended on Celtic winning the Premiership ?
  5. The fans were so so good. Our defence throughout the entire game was so so good. The 4 penalties were absolutely perfectly taken. And yes, I too have watched either the penalties or fan reaction viewpoints of the penalties every day since the game.
  6. I thought that was Ronnie Brown, from The Corries
  7. I doubt anyone else in the world would come up with that. Not even a Ballon d'Or winner would come up with that
  8. https://as.com/futbol/primera/miovski-en-el-limbo-n/ Girona Miovski, in limbo Girona 's expectations this season have exceeded reality. The red-and-white team saved the league before the final matchday of La Liga , but there was a time when the fear of relegation was very real. This generated anxiety, criticism, and many players in the squad found themselves in the crosshairs for their poor performances. One of them, Bojan Miovski . The 25-year-old North Macedonian striker was swallowed up by Artem Dovbyk 's shadow . He signed last summer from Scottish club Aberdeen for five million euros plus variable fees until 2028 and was quickly labeled the 'new Dovbyk'. This was a mistake because he was put under more pressure than he deserved and needed, and his performance has suffered considerably. Between La Liga , the Champions League , and the Copa del Rey , he only scored four goals: two in La Liga against Espanyol and another brace in the Copa del Rey against Extremadura . He failed to make his mark in the Champions League. His role in Míchel's team declined, having played only 26 percent of the minutes in total. In the last ten league matches, Miovski only played 20 minutes, spread across the matches against Mallorca and Villarreal. Last Sunday, in the final match against Atlético Madrid , he was unable to make the squad due to a foot injury. The end of the season leaves many uncertainties, and despite having a contract until 2028, there are still many doubts about his future. The sporting directors and Míchel plan to speak with all the players ahead of next season, and the striker will be no exception. On a personal level, he's not happy either, having seen his value decline. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is now three million. That's two million less than the fixed amount (not including variables) Girona paid for him in the summer.
  9. Girona have put Miovski up for sale. It is an article that the Daily Ranger is carrying and it has no sources. But it suggests Girona are happy to listen to offers after what everyone would agree has been a shit season for the lad. Would a cheeky £1M be enough? I don't think he would go to any other Scottish club, but I wonder how low an offer Girona would listen to
  10. Loved seeing him do the "WILLIE MILLER" in the changing room
  11. One thing I loved was seeing all the forgotten players who've barely kicked a ball running on in their suits and getting right into the party atmosphere at full time. Shows the unity within the squad!! Even players who were kicking their (presumed) last ball in a Dons shirt were kissing the badge and showing how much this meant to them.
  12. If Palaversa can find the form that persuaded Man City to pay €7M for him, he could be worth a few bob
  13. Or as the Weegie commentators call him "Da Bag"
  14. Six days on, and I'm still finding more videos from different angles https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BdxRc5YST/ I don't think I'll ever get sick of this. The wall of red in the stands is just hypnotic
  15. For thr first time in my life, I'm supporting Dunfermline / Hamilton/ Dumbarton / Stirling. No hard feelings against McInnes, but I hope Hearts totally fuck this up
  16. Yeah we are never gonna be able to afford Miovski now, not permanently. But maybe a loan to give him consistent first team action? It's a dream, and I do wonder if he'd come back and risk jeopardising the status he has here.
  17. Dabbagh is handy in the box (as per the SemiFinal). Gueye is handy with his sheer size (as per the Final). But neither are good/consistent enough to be our first choice striker. If Miovski is a no-go, I'd go all out (perhaps break our record) to land a proven striker who plays in a similar quality league such as Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Hungary, etc. Have Dabbagh and/or Gueye playing off them
  18. Similar thing, but from different touchline cameras ....
  19. I watch most of Aaron's vlogs, they're bloody good. He's amassing a fair collection of player shirts now too
  20. Fuck, he looks absolutely stoked to be there, doesn't he
  21. This and also how so many football managers (remembering these are professional football coaches) simply do not see how absolutely shite some of their tried-and-trusted players are. Yes I'm talking about Gueye, Ambrose, Richard Jensen, but I'm also talking about Anthony Stewart, JET, Matty Longstaff, Nicky Low, Jerel Ifil, Javan Vidal, Dave Bus .... every season, every manager we have a clutch of players who everybody in the stands cannot fathom how they've made it in the game as far as they have, and yet they are playing for the third biggest club in Scotland!!!
  22. Can we offer Ambrose + cash for ..... actually, can we just offer them Ambrose + cash ?
  23. I for one am appreciative of McInnes for what he did at Pittodrie, brought us from perennial bottom-sixers to Euro-regulars. However ... Jambo cunt. Hope he relegates them
