dare I say,Ian Fergushun
we almost lost Eoin Jess to the hun,though not sure he was on our books before joining
Quite the opposite. Jess was on the huns' books as a schoolboy but came back north.
-
I read somewhere that the huns had been told it'd take £1.5M before they'd be allowed to talk to him, so they're likely taking time to craft an obnoxious and entitled statement about not being held to ransom, in order to try and mask the fact that they don't have any money.

20 bonus points for being highly perceptive.
I don't think the club should move to kingsford, so be sure and allocate those accordingly.

Most of the people WHO VOTED then.
Pedantry. The last bastion for nothingness.
Over the 7 constituencies making up the NE of Scotland, 134413 people voted Tory, as compared to 181578 people who voted for other parties/candidates.

Stench is a rather surprising omission from the list. I don't think I even know who Jock Wallace is. Some Hun, probably.
Ooft. Shocking omission. Duly rectified.

Carrying on from the Red Star thread I felt this was worthy of its own topic, if for no other reason than to distract from the ever maddening speculation over who we might/should/won't sign.
Who is the hunnest hun of all? The one player or manager who, above all others, really got you thinking 'I'd fucking love it if we beat the huns,'
There is a long list of potential candidates so I've listed a few choice examples, but please add any others I might have missed.
For me, Souness edges it from John Brown, just for his sheer pantomime villain qualities.
-
Hunnest of huns would have to be Jock Wallace
Graeme Souness for me. The 'prince of darkness', and ultimate pantomime villain when I was fledgling Don.

At first i really felt worried it was a new Terror attack.
Would that have made it worse?
-
Who would that be?

Fair enough. I get that the average punter might not know exactly where the boundaries of their property are. I'd expect that it should be fairly standard that it would at very least ring a bell with a councillor that a project bordering their property may involve a conflict of interest, and it should be checked out before any approvals go ahead.
As for him having no part in the decision, the P&J version of the story seems to suggest something quite different.
Correspondence seen by the P&J indicates Mr Young discussed the project with senior council officers and “verbally approved” the scheme without it ever being taken to a committee. -

How is it possible that a council member would have to consult with a solicitor in order to find out whether they owned a piece of land that was subject to council funding?
Is it really possible that there's an innocent explanation for any of this? Maybe someone more knowledgeable about council proceeding can shed some light, because I surely can't think of one.
Thoughts?
Aberdeen City Council has admitted to a "serious failing" after repairs worth £200,000 were ordered to a cycle path without proper approval.Work at the path involving a boundary wall on Wellington Brae in the Ferryhill area has been suspended while an investigation takes place.
Aberdeen City Council said there was doubt over who owns the land.
However, BBC Scotland understands it is owned by councillor Willie Young, the authority's finance convener.
He has denied any wrongdoing, and said he was waiting to hear from his solicitor whether he owns the land or not.
The council said approval for the project did not follow the required governance procedures and was not presented for committee approval.
It said an urgent review was under way.
The path is cordoned off but no repair work is taking place.
The project was to be fully funded by cycling charity Sustrans, which awarded just over £21,000 for preliminary work, with the full funding to be paid when the work was completed.
'Establish clarity'
Bernadette Marjoram, Aberdeen City Council's interim director of communities, housing and infrastructure, said: "The Wellington Brae cycleway repairs were first considered by officers of the council in 2016 following storm damage.
"Aberdeen City Council acknowledges the project did not subsequently follow the required governance procedures and was not presented for committee approval at any stage in the process.
"This is a serious failing by council officers and therefore an urgent review is under way. In light of this, work has been suspended."
Wellington Brae
She explained: "The project, which was to be fully funded by Sustrans, was instigated by staff of the planning and sustainable development service in conjunction with Sustrans on the basis the section is part of a national network.
"It should be stated no works were requested by landowners in the area surrounding the path and nor did any landowner seek funding for repairs.
"At this stage the ownership of the land is in question. Aberdeen City Council is urgently seeking to establish clarity in this respect.
"To reiterate, no elected member of Aberdeen City Council was given the opportunity to consider the Wellington Brae project at committee or was party to any decision taken."

Motherwell now got a goal difference 6 worse than anyone else in the league. I'd absolutely piss myself if they got relegated on goal difference.

Bored and on nightshift i've just made the mistake of reading Faddys 'opinion' in the Sun. What a total crock of shite! Calling us a disgrace.... it's McGhoo who's a disgrace to the human race. I honestly couldn't give a flying saucer if he's a Gothenburg Hero.... the guy makes my blood boil with everything he says and does! He's fooking useless at his job to boot!
In fairness to McFadden he's just doing what McGhee should have been doing in his interview, and making the story about something other than his teams terrible performance.
-
Haha. Total shite. If Barry McKay is worth £6M, then Johnny Hayes is worth at least £8M.

Yaaaaaaas!
Welcome (back) all. This is much better.

whilst I don't agree with all of the MSP's comments, it's good to see him getting involved
For what it's worth, Richard Lochhead is definitely a dandy. I've spotted him in the crowd several times.

Thanks computer. Good job I didn't put "everything" on it
What's the score?
-
Thanks.
That sort of thing would be game over for a politician here, but I think rocket touched on an important point when he said that analysts weren't picking up on it. It'll only harm him if the media pick up on it and press the point.

Someone asked me who I'd vote for. Glad I don't need to vote. Both candidates are loathsome people.
I would probably vote for Jill Stein if I had a vote. Given she's only polling around 5%, it'd do fuck all good, though.
You're right about 'both' candidates being fucking cretins. Any systems that offers those as the only viable options is truly fucked.
