Nellie The Don

Give over. Season after season, club officials have been getting slammed on here for not showing enough ambition in their rhetoric. (Aiming to be a top-six team, yada yada yada). From Craig Brown's comments after the match, it seems to me that we really need to get past the mentality of assuming Celtic are better than us. They may have more resources and (arugably, although I'd dispute this) some better players, but they're still just another football club, only 4 points ahead of us. One thing they do execptionally well is to create the impression that they're some massive untouchable institution, and thus have teams play into their hands by showing far too much respect. It's all just smoke and mirrors. We absolutely (still) can win the league, and this mentality needs to get drummed into the players at every opportunity. More of the same please, George.

Fucking cheer up. Jeezo.

Come again? When (and, for the love of fuck, why) did Aberdeen do that?

Wow. What a total clusterfuck of a proposal. How Longmuir, Regan and Cockwomble didn't all get their jotters in the summer is beyond me, but surely with crap like this it's only a matter of time before the clubs lose patience and oust the leadership of the three governing bodies, not one useful or helpful thing having issued forth from any of them.

I fear change

I might be wrong, but I thought that a charge of defamation required that there be a reasonable chance that the slander be taken seriously by some audience. David Icke also claimed that humans are collectively controlled by lizards that live on a spaceship behind the moon.

Could be interesting to see whether he might change his mind if we do well this season.

Peter Herbert is a publicity seeking idiot. I hope his nuisance 'reporting' of all this petty shite is ultimately treated with the disdain it deserves. Unfortunately, given footballing authorities' historic record of screwing the pooch when it come to the application of common sense, it really is more hope than expectation.

I stay in Wellington, NZ, but there's an Aberdeen woman in my (fairly small, about 10-strong) team of workmates who gave me this film to watch... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289420/ It's a pile of pish, relying on the fact that it's in Doric to hold any humour at all, but John Hewitt has a 5-second cameo as a juror near the end. Anyway, Don't bother watching it. It's shite. If you want to see John Hewitt, watch this instead.

Do you think it dates back to 1991? They might have to replay the tennants sixes final.

R.I.P. Michael Marra.

London is a shithole. True story.

Nope. You need to be resident in Scotland.

Expats can't vote, no.

Mark Brown?

Fucking hell. As much as it amuses me to see the huns getting a taste of their own medicine for once, that's just common assault.

Pfft. Welcome to ma boaby.

Somewhat short-sited.

So Rangers go bust owing Hearts £800k, then reform and try to sign two players Hearts couldn't afford to keep. Good to see they've turned over a new leaf on the 'cheating' front. I hope Brechin kick them all over the park.

First of all the SPL need to pull their necks in over TV rights. 'Demanding' ownership of TV rights from another league? Get squarely tae fuck. Secondly McCoist et al need to realise they have no leverage whatsoever to accept or reject anything. The SPL can initiate an independent panel, and Rangers can get stripped of any titles they see fit. If off the back of it Sevco decide both literally and figuratively they don't want to play any more then no biggie. Brechin v Spartans or Cove would be a perfectly fine opening fixture.

Bombscare Ifil's stint at fullback. *shudder*

I would assume that is 'Rangers' as in oldco/d&p, and the money will end up eith the creditors. If penny one of it sees its way to Sevco, it would certainly establish a legal argument for HMRC et al to persue them for their £130M.
