  1. I thought it was only one who thought it was pish, but a graveyard what is this guy smoking? By and large it sounds like there's a player, hopefully we utilise him correctly and manage to get him to recapture his form. When did Evans take over? Hopefully that coincided with his drop in form more than anything else.
  2. Or, you could just pick us better seats
  3. The walk up and standing on the Y for a summer game . Last game I was there was the Apollon game, in the away end of the south. That was well and truly shite.
  4. Sounds like a great signing, welcome aboard the good ship !
  5. I thought so, Just liked the idea of it . Would set the cat amongst the pigeons
  6. The way I understood it, and correct me if I’m wrong B.B was that those who’ve played previously but choose to sit out on friendlies should lose a cap per game they miss. Then they shouldn’t also automatically get picked and go straight into the first team for the proper games. Hence why shinnie shouldn’t get dropped because others are suddenly “available” after choosing not to be previously.
  7. Great to hear McKenna captaining the team. Good on him. How did he and shinnie play? Presume shinnie won’t play left back very often for obvious reason.
  8. Didn’t they time the away kit with the first euro game last season, or am I imagining that?
  9. Anyone bought this yet? Looks smart. Thinking of getting one ordered for when i'm over at Christmas in time for the Kiwi summer
  10. The goal any fan would love to score. No skill really required, but sheer determination. Obviously not reflective of his true abilities but great nonetheless. Wish I could have seen him play in the flesh. Interesting read CvB and Rocket. good posts
  11. Heard so many great stories about him, it's really nice seeing wee videos of his talks. By all accounts a really likable guy, wish i'd had the chance to meet him. RIP. Some fans have set up a petition to get the club to arrange a pre-season friendly in memory of him: https://www.change.org/p/aberdeen-football-club-pre-season-friendly-in-memory-of-neale-cooper?recruiter=687706697&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial
  12. It’s also a friendly, probably cheap as chips. At least it’s being shown, I’d hardly bother. Peru is a lively place, if it’s anything like the World Cup qualifiers, I doubt any of those players will experience anything like it. It was madness.
  13. Nice to see some Liverpool fans showing their class...sending death threats on a keeper because he fucked up (big time). Cracker of a goal from Bale. Not sure what the Liverpool keeper was thinking. Of the two horrible teams, the lesser one won. All good . Good to see our ownership of Real continues
  14. Rico, I was referring more to his preference. He’s really not that good (despite 5 performances post split), not sure he’s in a position to prefer one over the other. He’s completely after the money, possibly realising how much he can make despite turning out average performances. League one is definitely his level.
  15. The funniest bit of that article is where he states he’s open to English league one but would prefer the championship
  16. Have yet to see anything of note from May so i'm very much out on his positive contributions. Games i've seen the game seems to pass him by But as I said, the service was awful last season so a bit of service and then i'll judge him. Seems unfair to do so just yet.
  17. That’s why I think the midfield is the most important aspect of the rebuild. We need to find players that will get the best out of what we have. Then get a couple of defenders in to give us a bit of cover. Only then would I look at the top. No denying that missing out on moult cost us Europe, we’ve done that to death and we all agree on that point. We didn’t really have a strike force then. Ideally we’d have strikers that are going to perform in all games, but I don’t think we can afford to give rooney up unless we’ve got a proven replacement. The goal stats need to be improved but our service was diabolical this season.
  18. Hmm, I'd hope we're actually putting our resources into midfield and then defence. We have the strikers that with the right type of service, can thrive. It's just getting that service. Shame Scott Wright never went out on loan in Jan. Oh well.
  19. Quite a shrewd appointment imo. I always liked him at city.

    World Cup

    Yeah, i'll be intrigued. I suppose since it's in Europe, most of them will be on early doors? I know the Welsh bar and the bar beneath my office show champions league games live. Odd seeing pubs full of non drinkers at 7:30 am! I think most nightclubs have to close by 3am now On a separate note, but WC related: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/22/rival-captains-make-case-to-fifa-for-paolo-guerreros-world-cup-inclusion?CMP=twt_gu Given that coca tea is quite readily available in Peru, I don't find this hard to believe, but whether it was actually from Cocaine or coca tea, i'm not sure. would have thought the toxicology levels must be fairly different. I know from chewing coca leaves certainly made your mouth numb and obviously a burst of energy, but i'd imagine theres a fair bit more concentration in cocaine. Shame for him to miss it anyway.

    World Cup

    Last one was good, primarily for being in Vegas for some of it. What a blast that was! But by the end of it I found it tiring. There was too much football on. Same went for the euros. I probably watched the least amount of games I ever had. Have my issues with the next two world cups but I’m sure I’ll crack and watch the Russian one. It’s going to be a reasonably open one I reckon. The South American sides aren’t all that and neither are the Europeans. I’m sure the Germans will win it. They’ve always wanted to make it to Moscow
  22. Wonder if Hamilton are going to go back to grass or the grass master surface?
  23. Excellent, need a new show, really enjoyed deep state. Will check out toms recommendation too
  24. Thoroughly enjoying it, you’ll smash it. Nearly done myself. The only annoyance is I’m guessing we’ll have to wait another year for the final one!
