Was really excited end of season before last when he broke into the team. New Portsoy Péle etc… Now if we get a million, plus presumably add ons, for the hun social media post ing Portsoy plum, take it!

In fairness to the huns on their 4th attempt they’ve finally signed someone decent (indirectly) from us. Still, Martin makes it through till November. Milne smashes him, puts him out for a while, as a result of the gubbing we go on to give them, Martin gets the sack. New manager doesn’t rate him and he spends the next 3 years getting 5 minutes against Stirling Albion etc., in the league cup group stages. All while they’re sending money to Girona to fund what they still owe us.

Signed now. Best we can hope for is a couple of long term injuries…

Just had a check of my ifab. Never going to ref at a high enough level to have VAR . So never really looked at that part before. Think you are right because of the pen being a “game changing decision” ref then has to take appropriate disciplinary action. Still not a hand ball though…

As I understand it, it was given for handball. Can’t think it would have been a yellow for foul outside the box that would be a red for stopping a goal scoring opportunity and that should have been issued first downgraded to yellow following VAR review for foul inside the box and pen (still ultimately a sending off I guess, if officiated properly). But if somehow he’s decided it was a foul in the box and a yellow card offence it’s still a routine foul, so can’t issue a yellow following VAR review.

Club need to call out the ref and UEFA. Laws of the game it’s not a handball. Far too close, and arm in a natural position. More importantly though the ref can’t issue a yellow following a VAR review for a routine yellow card offence. Only for simulation if they’ve originally given a pen (dissent) or downgrading a red to a yellow following review. Not sure how it’s possible to happen in the circumstances. Surely someone in the VAR team could have pointed out the error in the CR’s officiating??

Possibly we were looking at Josh Mulligan?

At the 2017 final, I got tickets off a lad who had something to do with Village Hotels. When I went there to get them, he invited us to stay for the pre-match entertainment. They had Cooper, Kennedy (and I can't think who the third was?). Joey Harper also said a few bits at the end; he seemed to be there with Cooper. Cooper was the entertainment, though. Had the whole place in stitches and was the highlight of the day for me and the lads I was with. Imagine everyone who met him came away with the same impression of him.

What a fucking day. Up at 430 for flight up the road. 10 pints deep by the time I met my dad, nephew and BiL. First final for nephew and first with my dad since 90. Was close to greeting losing in 17, but fucking hell was closer today. Better not wait 35 years for another one, I’ll be 80! Wasn’t confident at all and said before I’d take a shithouse 0-0 and 9-8 on pens so the 1-1 and 4-2 on pens was even better

I blame the Irish.

Odd one, didn't the club suggest we'd turned down a 7 figure bid in the summer? Unless there's personal reasons.

Did I see something on social media over the weekend that a £1.5 million fee had been agreed with an Eastern European team, for Ruby? Also can we not send Ambrose to wherever it was we sent Pape last season?

Been turned down by Nazariy Rusyn on loan from Sunderland allegedly.

I’ve just turned 45 and my first game was one of Fergies last. Was at SCF in ‘90 under Smith and was probably at Pittodrie for most of his reign. Ebbe was a bit of a cult hero. But after Pele, Calderwood brought a bit of respectability back to AFC. Beating the Huns when Ricksen got sent off and going 2 up against Bayern are two of my favourite memories of being at Pittodrie (along with the Mimms, Gillhaus, Nicholas goal). The forum carry on in his last few months and when he was sacked was ridiculous and tainted, arguably, our best post Fergie managers legacy (definitely at the time). Might dig out my old sky plus box and watch back the Copenhagen and Bayern games.

Baffling subs, Palaversa and Keskinen off and somehow Nilsen and Okkels stay on the pitch?
