... to you! Seriously, who is that? All I see is the smaller Chuckle Brother. The bigger one looked like Jimmy Calderwood when he had a 'tache.

Ch-ch-chuckle Vision?

Not to mention the fact that JDV will be so fit, he'll basically be "like a new signing".

Dodds was a fairly decent striker. Certainly when I first learned we were in the hunt for Robbie Winters, I rubbed my hands at the thought of us having the fastest strikeforce in the league by a country mile! But you got to remember, when Dodds was scoring for fun, he had a pretty decent midfield servicing him. Jess, Hignett, Glass, Bernard, Grant. I mean, Gillies and Kiriakov aside, Dodds had a pretty decent midfield feeding him. And he had the likes of Booth, Shearer and Windass partnering him up front. ANY striker is gonna benefit from playing alongside players of their class.

You want Sports Smash? Seriously? I thought nobody played that! I'll easily put it back on for you if you like.

Was never based on skill, either. His game was always based on "lamp the fucker. Just make sure you check which way the ref is looking first"

The only two games I've taken off are Breakout and Plumber. Breakout has an almost identical game available called Breakit. And Plumber had issues with saving high scores, so I got rid of it. But all the rest should be there.

What's the problem? Scores not saving? Or the game just not working at all? ........ actually, try again. Just realised I didn't specify a display size for any game except Asteroids. Does it work now? Any games not working?

Okay, can all the arcaders have a shot of the arcade now? I've basically completely reinstalled the entire Arcade database (as well as adding a couple more games). Are there still any issues with saving high scores?

"I'd rather be a brush than Alan Combe" - what a bounce at Jess' final goal!

11,039 miles from my house to Pittodrie (as the crow flies)

He played for Livi when they beat us to 3rd place ... in their first season in the SPL! Not to mention the side that thrashed us 6-1

A club could go out and sign a magnificent player. But if the style of football in the SPL just doesn't suit their style, they're nae exactly going to be at their best. For example, a player who prefers a bit of time on the ball to work some trickery and nice wee flicks and touches ain't gonna like the traditionally lightning-fast pace of the SPL. Let's face it, the SPL has never really been the best breeding ground for skill. If a player has already played, and played to a reasonably successful level, in the SPL, it's gonna be less of a gamble for the club to sign him cos they already know he can cope with the physical demands of the league

150. Hibs fans invent their own song

Bollocks. Yes he should be setting an example by turning up to work on time. Or by not turning up pissed, like some of our previous managers. But it's not the job of managers to run after the players ... that's the jobs of the coaches and trainers. Yes the CAPTAIN should set an example to the rest of the players, in terms of physical effort and input to the entire running of the first team. But the manager? Nah. I couldnae gie a shite that JC is a lump of lard. Gone are the days at Aberdeen where managers like Ally MacLeod would join in with the team training sessions. Jimmy is the Aberdeen MANAGER. He's not the Aberdeen fitness coach. He's in charge of MANAGING the team ... and the team includes the fitness coaches etc. I work for an ISP in New Zealand. My boss is an absolute novice with a computer. But he knows his shit and does a phenomenal job. He leaves the technical stuff to the people who get paid to know their technical stuff. It's exactly the same in football. Just because JC is the team manager, doesn't mean he has to lead by example and be as fit as a fiddle and run around leading the team a merry dance!

I'm sure a match at Fir Park a few seasons ago (might've been when the likes of Deloumeaux and Billio were playing for us, hence I seem to remember 2002/03. But a lot of booze and other substances at that time have permanently damaged my long-term memory). There was a fairly decent Aberdeen support at the game. I'm sure that the upper deck of that awkwardly-sized stand was shut off. Fair made for a better atmosphere, cos let's face it there were fuckall home fans at the game, and Fir Park ain't exactly the easiest of grounds for the Red Army to get to in their numbers

141. Inverness sign a non-ex-Don

The most boring match I've ever been to was the one time I ventured into the Upper Dickie D. A boring match against St Johnstone where George O'Boyle scored the only goal of the game. We were shite, and the fans were so few and far between, it must've been a good dozen or so seats between us and the next lot of Aberdeen fans. If the RDU was closed off, and all the Richard Donald Stand regulars were forced to move into the lower deck, it would've been a much much better atmosphere and, I dare say, the fans might've even been able to put a bit of inspiration into Jess & co that day.

Last time I looked, JC wasn't in a job that requires him to be physically fit.

But do we really need yet another "talented but crocked" player to keep Jamie Smith company? I'd rather have "handy and match-fit" than "talented and crocked"

Clikey clikey, linkey linkey

10 players in a Derek Young style. The 11th player would be Derek Young himself

130. Rangers admit it was their own fans' fault

You'll be thinking of Knights' Armour

True. From what I understand, the club has made a £4m profit from this season's antics. Be interesting to see what that has done to the debt after our outgoings.
