I’m guessing none of you need a stream for the game, but is there one?

Retro price of £8 per ticket 

Must be at least thirty years since I got a ticket for that price 

You wish

A few folk on twitter wondering whether Shady Mo is actually offski, hence his "knock". He was in the clips issued by the club so I remain sceptical about that.

Bilalovic confirmed

Aye, I'd call that plan A and plan A.5

 

Agreed, not sufficient to be classed as an entirely different option. Definitely a derivative.

David Turnbull or Triantis in

Dante to Hibs

Some American investment

Chose to place as much or as little credence as you like upon any of it. Know which camp I'm in 

Oh aye, I’m as sceptical as the next man.  Was why I qualified that I hadn’t been on there so keeping myself clean

Seems to have been a lot of chatter on the hat (I’ve not looked) and Twitter about some surprise departures (Polvara?), new investment (Atlanta?), replacement for our injured LB which is going to be required as it’s a longer spell than we thought, and an exciting player who’s starred against us previously  

Helps make sense of a lot of rumours there but seems awfy convenient. 

Rumours seem to be gathering that a certain Auckland based a-league club are signing Sam Cosgrove

actually, he’s signed now

So we paid a fee in the end? Interesting to see how much it was in the end and if they still have a sell on. Really hope this guy is a big part of the answer! 

Strikers:

Yengi - 1

Midfielders:

Clarkson - 1

Nilsen - 1

Defenders:

Goalkeepers:

OG:

Total: 3

Hopefully the jump start we needed (or pre season game as panda mentioned). Some much needed confidence for everyone. Know “it’s only Morton”, but you can only beat what’s in front of you and looks like it was a professional performance. Can’t ask for much more than that.

According to an Italian Sky sport reporter on Twitter, lazetic is due in Aberdeen tomorrow to have a medical. Free transfer but sell on of 50% depending on appearances (I.e starts at 20%) and increases accordingly.

Have we sold out our end? A good win would do the teams’ and fans’ confidence no end of good. Ridiculous saying it but we need something positive to match on to.

Top advice! I’m sure there’ll be a few who read the board that’ll be going.

Gutted to see him go and as you say jute, we fucked his dons career by pairing him with Malloy rather than someone experienced. There’s a player there and you can’t buy that sort of desire and passion. But ultimately it is for the best, hope he goes on to have a stellar career.

I was going to suggest McKenna, but couldn't be arsed checking. He did indeed sign until 2023, in 2018. Can't think of anyone else though. Think Besuijen was 4.5 years from memory. 

Aye, remembered vinnie being on a long deal but couldn’t remember if it was longer than 4, makes his failure all the more frustrating.

Fantastic city, great night out. I'm sure everyone will have a blast over there!

Hate quoting myself BUT have we ever previously given any player a five year deal 

yes, McKenna I believe, not long before he bolted?

Have started watching Wednesday on Netflix. We’ve run out of things and it’s an easy watch which my wife approves of. 
 

Also been watching Brassic. Not sure how this passed me by (thanks Netflix and kids ruining algorithms). Funny as fuck. 

Not the worst set of answers given the questions were all vetted by the club beforehand. Interesting to see if either of the rumoured transfers come off today. Deadline for euro registration? And even if they do, what else is in the pipeline.

Anything to increase the fee is fine by me.

Anything to rub more salt into their tears is equally positive.

As long as we don’t get them if we drop in to Conference League as been to Selhurst Park before and don’t remember their being many pubs.

Oh and they are likely to thump us. 

Guess I've never been an away fan there. There were two or three that I'd go to pre-game but they were very much home fans only.

Not Dons related but to do with Europa league. Palace have lost their appeal and will not be allowed to play in Europa League. They will however be allowed to play in Conference League.

Glad they’re at least able to play in Europe. A comp they could go on to win. 

Agree with others, that’s shite and hope you’re in a better condition to be able to at least watch today. I also agree with our elder statesman in that you should, when you’re up to it, write the club to let them know about that. It’s ludicrous and makes no sense whatsoever.

Daily Redtop now claiming it is a free and 20% sell-on, not 50%.

That sounds an excellent bit of business by Aberdeen if true.

 

Came on here to say the same thing. That isn’t a bad bit of business by AFC. Hopefully it works out for all parties. Welcome aboard!
