Its an 8.30 start, has been for as long as I can remember. It definatly was when he played Federer in the final

8.30 imorns morning

Points from the last 6 games (Broons first 6 in charge) Celtic 16 Aberdeen 13 Hearts 13 Huns 12 St John 11 Killie 9 Scumdee 8 Well 5 Helen 5 Accies 4 ICT 2 Hivs 1 Wouldn't even like to comtemplate what the previous 6 looked like, too scared to look. Massive difference (obviously) and surely if we keep this up over the next 11 games and beat the teams just above then top 6 can be achieved.

He is definatly good enough to win, he has the game to beat anyone in the Aussie and US, not so much at Wimbledon but he'd still be classed as one of the favourites and would be surprised if he did anything a the French, especially with Nadal on the go. Obviously others have the game to beat him too, thats why they are so hard to win. I think theres elements in truth what everyone is saying, he wasn't at his best in both finals but personally I wouldn't called it nosebleeds and even at his best he was gonna struggle against Federer on that form. But take nothing away from him, if his careers ended today it would still be a very successful career, 6 or 7 Masters series events is impressive, beating Nadal, Federer and Djokovic numerous times to win those. Remember Federer may go down as the greatest ever and the only man that is likely to overtake him is Nadal, Murray has been up against possibly the two best players ever and is doing a damn good job. Its like Monty, dont take nothing away from the guy coz he didn't win a major, he was still one of the best golfers Europe has produced, 6 Order of Merit titles in a row was amazing, his iron play was out of this world... If he could buy a putt he would be down as one of the greats

Yeah but this about Aberdeen fans going to Hampden, dont see what Madrid supporters going to The Bernabeu has to do with it

Think with the Steve Irwin thing Brown said he was no better than Ryan Jack so felt it was best to give Jack a game, he wants someone with more experience which may be Michael Stewart or Stephen Hughes.... I know he is a twat but I'd take Stewart, a year and a half deal would be good, if he can bring the performances then dont mind him being a tit

Is it the amount of points we would've had if Craig Brown took over at the start of the season instead of McGhee

It is how often Maguire scores? Every 1697 minutes of play?

Last seasons was held Sept/Oct/Nov 2009 - Doesn't look like we played, Peterhead beat Locos 3-0 in final Doesnt look like we played year before that either - Just looking back at the fixtures on www.highlandleague.net but its a bitch to navigate through to find what I'm looking for so not going back any further. All I can think is because this years is held later in season we decided to enter. And we will be playing all our games away from home so if we beat Keith the 2nd round match will be changed to the away teams ground. *Edit - I realise some of that repeats what GS said but couldnt be arsed picking out the bits that wasn't needed anymore

Aye, I remember now, the Aberdeenshire cup was played August/September. Cove knocked us out on penalties in the first round and went on to beat Buckie 3-0 in the final. So this is something similar but different

Yeah, theres the EE Aberdeenshire Cup and the Morrison Motors Aberdeenshire Shield. Think the cup might be played earlier in season. Remember Cove beating Buckie in a final of some cup a few months back, was that the EE Aberdeenshire Cup??

I think it is, just saw the draw on the Highland League website and they were calling it the Aberdeenshire Shield

Draw made by Craig Brown and Paul Lawrie First round: Buckie Thistle v Huntly Fraserburgh v Peterhead Formartine United v Deveronvale Aberdeen (away) v Keith Banks O'Dee v Cove Rangers Byes: Aberdeen University, Inverurie Locos, Turriff United Quarter finals: Fraserburgh / Peterhead v Turriff United Aberdeen University v Inverurie Locos Formartine United / Deveronvale v Banks O'Dee / Cove Rangers Aberdeen / Keith v Buckie Thistle / Huntly Semi finals: Aberdeen University / Inverurie Locos v Fraserburgh / Peterhead / Turriff United Aberdeen / Keith / Buckie Thistle / Huntly v Formartine United / Deveronvale / Banks O'Dee / Cove Rangers Final: Aberdeen University / Inverurie Locos / Fraserburgh / Peterhead / Turriff United v Aberdeen / Keith / Buckie Thistle / Huntly / Formartine United / Deveronvale / Banks O'Dee / Cove Rangers

A future prospect and wont go straight into first team duties but only signed until end of season.... Does that make sense? Hopefully its just to see if he settles, fits in etc and the plan is to extend the contract if all goes well, which hopefully it does

Dunno how much but radio said it looks like one of the biggest attended games at NDP this year

Aye, its on 810 now and digital

Is the game on radio?

For having two full backs when he arrived and indentifying that thats the area of the team that needs improving then being sacked a season and a half later having played half a season with no full backs it has to be McGhee.... I still cant get my head round it, a 6 year old playing a computer game would know you need a person to fill each position and to get a full back or two before you get your 8th striker. Has any manager even been that blind? Its like he just didn't know what constitutes a full team

Dont really know anything about Jennings, in fact, never heard of the guy (presume its a guy) but would take the other three... ok Blackman is another striker but he is on form. Does anyone know if these are the players that contracts run out in January?

We are all still in shock how bad Mark one was, dont think I want a MkII

We will certainly miss your insightful topics and witty banter

Thats what my Doric/Isreali translation book said, just wanted to make sure

Anyone know what "Referee, you're such a fucking penis, referee you're a horses arse" is in Isreali?

Apparently its Isreali and Polish refs coming over. The ref's will have to watch out coz they might not have jobs to come back to after the strike, the Polish might steal them. Maybe every game in every country should be managed by foreign ref, if the refs dont have a clue what anyone is saying and has no clue who is who then they everyone involved can get down to just playing the fucking game Stirling saying they are looking for compensation for loss of income from moving it to a week night. Now that 9 odd games are off and peoples Saturdays have been ruined coz of the refs do they not realise they will get even more abuse when they return?

I know but that was easier to find out the answer to. I was gonna look at the tranfers of top players in 1989 but seemed too much effort
