This seems to be a theme sweeping fitba forums at the minute, everyone should be positive and if you are negative it is only so you can say I told you so a few months down the line. What kind of nonsense is that, surely the whole point in fitba forums is to bitch and snipe then you can get behind your team on a Saturday. Also there is very little satisfaction gained from saying "I told you so" to the bunch of retards who are so blinded by their own self importance they can't see the truth. Talking of which, realistically we have to give McGhee till next season to see what he can really do, now.

I thought this thread was about a psychic lobster, nae yer new wife's thoughts on your honeymoon.

I'm 4 chapters in, I think, just after the rioting Tims when he builds the Starship Parkhead Destroyer .

Is there a size advantage in table tennis? Surely players would be let go for being too big, given the Chinese abilities at the sport. That sounds similar to what I read, no idea where I got the August bit though. It's something that bothers me from an academic rather than sporting point of view as my daughter was born on the 31st August. Anyway I'm off to Amazon to buy this book.

Exactly this isn't even exclusive to Scottish Football. I'm sure I read somewhere that there is no EPL player born in August i.e. the youngest (and more than likely smallest) in their age group. I'm sure the same article also went on to say there was similar findings in most other sports all over the world.

Has he not signed for Reading?

Having had a quick read of the rules on the link I posted the other day, we'd have to prove either that he is a recognised international performer or show that there is no player settled in the UK who can take the job. Maybe if Udinese are paying his wages the case will be no one is willing to play for us for free?? [ur]http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/eea/workpermits/workpermitarrangements/sportsandentertainments/[/url] As far as I can see there is an alternative i.e. he signs up at Aberdeen College as a student, is granted a permit to study then we ask for a letter confirming that he has changed his status and is now employed by Aberdeen Football Club as a footballer. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/eea/bulgariaromania/applying/ Then again I could be talking bollocks.

For those that are actually THAT interested http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/eea/bulgariaromania/liveworkuk/

Aren't work permits only not applicable to Economic Area countries rather than simply EU?

I'm going to guess Mr Baggins is referring to Bulgaria.

Just wait till the huns come to Pittodrie... I've been handing out notebooks to 3 year old wheelchair users, in anticipation.

I'm so apoplectic with rage I'm going to send him a picture of his cat with a plaster on it's knee.

Just out of interest who were the immediately previous players to have made the same switch. Stephen Wright and Jim Bett?

I see the British Broadcasting Corporation have given up their live text coverage of deadline day now the English transfer window has closed.

If this story is correct, it stinks of personal differences rather than for the good of the club. We know Foster isn't shy of a confrontation with the manager, there were suggestions last season that Foster didn't like McGhee, he hasn't played since our poor pre-season...

12pm today, has passed already and as far as I am aware has never been at night. It's a minor mistake but I'm bored on waiting for interesting transfer news.

Spot the mistake... http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20100831/transfer-window-_2212158_2140817

It's a good job we got McGhee in otherwise we would still be under-performing in the league, not winning cups, spunking money away on signing English lower league crocks, not giving our youth system a chance and singling out young players for public criticism. :

Things must be really bad financially, when our players can't afford more than one pair of boots to help prevent themselves getting potentially career ending injuries. Still, it's nice to see Fyvie saving up for his Richard Steadman surgery and all the donkey placenta's he'll need by doing an advert for the start of the new season.

I also agree a £10 million pound player if ever I've seen one.

mmmm... as much as I'd like to agree with you, we are talking about AFC here.

On Dee Street, I'm going to guess it is what what was The Ministry of Sin.

On my holidays I read Robert Harris' Lustrum, Stuart MacBride's Blind Eye (both already covered) and Guillermo Del Torro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain. The Strain, I believe, is the first in a Trilogy and is a take on Vampire mythology. It was a very entertaining read, fast paced from about a third of the way in. The only slight annoyance I had was I felt it was written very much as a film, which I presume is Del Torro's influence and the intention is to make it into a film trilogy anyway. I'd definitely recommend it, I've just got to wait for the second one now.
