Agreed. We are already sitting on a few million quid of real-estate at Pittodrie. I refuse to believe that upgrading the existing Pittodrie is more expensive than acquiring brand new land and building a whole new stadium. With a bit of ingenuity and thinking, Pittodrie can be brought uptodate to UEFA standards piece-by-piece over the space of two or three seasons. Hell, I've long thought that creating a tunnel under an expanded Main Stand to allow for pittodrie street would work - would only really encroach on that carpark that we already own. We could even apply to CLOSE Pittodrie Street, forcing all cars that want to move that way to go down Pittodrie Place instead. Road reconstructions and complete road closures happen for new Shopping Centres all the time. Why not a sports complex?

One of the funniest I've heard recently was from Milton Jones: The worst job I ever had was as a forensic pathologist for the United Nations. One time I stumbled across the mass grave of a thousand snowmen. Fortunately it turned out it was just a field of carrots.

Right, that's it. Only thing left to do is to move Aberdeen FC to Stonehaven.

These are the best video highlights I've seen for many many a year. Living in NZ, my passion for the Dons has dropped dramatically over the past few years because it was just so friggin difficult to find the games online (actually easier to find online TV coverage than to find radio coverage!!). I tried RedTV for half a season, but it was a shambles, tbh - poor camera angles, poor commentary, poor streaming to the other side of the world. The YouTube channel is bloody brilliant. I can now watch extended highlights from ALL the games at a time that is sensible in NZ :-) Starting to enjoy the Dons again for the first time since we were in Europe vs Copenhagen, Bayern, Dnipro, etc.

Does Milsom want to leave?

Just saw the highlights of the Ross County vs Celtic game. County look a solid, adventurous side. Brittain seems to have found his mojo again ... still cannae believe he's playing. Wasn't he Livi's star player when they were in the SPL 11 years ago??

Saw absolutely nothing wrong with those two Vernon goals. Two excellent goals that the linesman simply failed to keep up with, so wrongly chopped off :-(

YouTube embedding is working again. You''ll still need to sandwich (mmmm) the link with [ youtube] and [ /youtube ] (without spaces).

Hmmmm. Same players who played well against the Tims. Hope Vernon isn't settling for a mediocre season already!

I can hear the song now: "Oh Simmy Simmie!"

Yeah, might pay to just doublecheck your personal settings on DT. They may well have changed after the upgrade.

There's nothing on it! What a waste of tax-payers money!!!! Fffffft.

We'll need to be careful with these "corporate" games ... don't wanna be seen as the club who bitumen-y corporate hands off.

What's happening now (or not)?

Yup. Known issue since we upgraded the entire site about 12 hours ago. We're working on it ...

Agreed. Anderson was steady as a rock, Osborne was in the thick of pretty much everything. I felt Rae struggled with Celtic's pace a bit, but really showed his experience in some situations ... he conceded a free-kick on the edge of the area when Celtic were charging through to a three-on-one situation, giving us a chance to defend the freekick with our entire team than commit suicide with just one player. Vernon did nothing. McGinn was smothered by the Celtic defence, and I thought Hayes showed in glimpses what he is capable of. But no amount of tricky saves can make up for that calamity by Langfield. Must be Brown in goals next week!

If every team in the SPL can raise their game against the tattie howkers, they've surely got to slip up somewhere. Can't play 38 Cup Finals, surely! Judging by their performances in pre-season, i don't think they're gonna be too difficult to beat compared to previous seasons. Now, can someone else keep the pace with them for the duration of the entire season?

It's not that big a point really. The kiwis are just happy to get some gold medals. Not sure where the Aussies are gonna get their medals from, though. Usually they rely on the swimming pool to get most of their medals, but they've been shite in the swimming pool this year

That's why I said one train-change! If you take two trains, you change trains once. If you take one train, you don't have to change! ;-)

Sick to death of seeing England flags at the Olympics. Erm ... England aren't at the Olympics, ya bunch o' fuckwits

I wanna know if any of the matches will be shown on the international SkySports channels. I'm sick of hunting out shitey flakey video streams of Dons matches on dodgy websites.

"Shiels has even delivered season tickets to fans in Edinburgh." Wow. Killie have fans as far away as Edinburgh? Jeez, that's like a whole .... ummm ... one train-change away. Is it me, or have Killie been in the SPL for too long now? I say bin them and bring some worthy teams up.

If I can find the FTP login details, I'll send it to you. I might just update the site anyway, as the issue may resolve itself with the upgrade from v2.0RC2 to v2.0.1

There's an issue with one of the php files : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=InnoDB' at line 5 File: /var/www/vhosts/donstalk.co.uk/httpdocs/messageboard/Sources/ManageSearch.php Line: 564 This will need to be fixed before creating a search-index. If I get time (sorry nae had the time recently cos of work and kids) I will do a site upgrade and see if the latest release candidate of SMF has fixed this PHP error
