Well I suppose that's a positive, will see what the morning brings though. Bookies very rarely get it that wrong.

My thoughts exactly. I don't know enough about the u-20s but I'm guessing one isn't capable of providing him with genuine competition. I want him to stay but he needs a kick up the arse, that much is certain

I love Logan, he's been a fantastic signing but his form was a bit shakey last season (latterly) and doesn't seem to have improved this season. From memory this season, since we've shored up our CB pairing, goals are leaking via the full backs. Obviously prior to shoring the CBs we were leaking goals all over the shop but I still think it was clear our full backs weren't performing like they can. Has Logan gone stale? I think the issue being there doesn't appear to be any real competition for him. Just my tuppence worth.

I'd be gutted if they got him

Someone has to do it Elgin, hoping to do a hike through the hills surrounding mendoza, so should have loads to contribute to the hills and outdoors thread

Oot Mendoza, recovering from today's wine tours Walking tour hopefully A steak restaurant 2-1 dons, may and shinnie

They are. You ask anyone around the world and they will know of only two teams from Scotland, Celtic and rangers...the real football fans will know of Aberdeen, Hearts and hibs. But by and large they only know two teams. Has happened plenty of times to me while I've been away. TW, there was an old firm Derby in the US a few years back (if memory serves me correctly) and they did used to get asked to tournaments abroad. Obviously not anymore.

Not even a funny one

Citeh are one of the few teams watching in the EPL imo. Most others are no better than hamilton

Exactly, a day to day manager to part time? Can't see it.

If he goes to ibrox he should be booed to hell and back. The last five years would mean nothing.

KFP, I've a mate who did a marathon out that way, will ask her what she did and if she has any tips!

Thought Wednesday was D-day? Will see what tomorrow brings I guess. They've no money so would be amazed if wiggy fell for their cheat schemes.

Welcome aboard! Known plenty of barcodes over the years, in fact, BigAl are you not one?

Not on game day but went yesterday. Beautiful area. Fortunately we didn't see too many tango dancers, heard they're quite vicious about asking for cash. Have to go to Brazil on another trip, too expensive and not enough time. Although the maracana is closed now

I don't get it either, but it all took me by surprise. Suddenly found myself without a "seat" so had to make space.

It's about £80, so a lot but for tourists that's the price they get charged at (if you're lucky). It was very much a one off. I asked him how much they pay and I think it's pretty much that for the season... Our tour guide (walking tour) said she knew folk to pay up to double that for a grade a game though. Blackmarket value of course.

Quite right, I always forget how noisy the sweetie papers are at Pittodrie

Well, la Bombanera was fucking awesome. Two goals in either half saw boca win 4-0, but I honestly don't think I could go to a British football match after going to that for a long while. Wouldn't be as epic. Just as well I'm moving then I'll run through what I had to do if anyone else ends up going in the near future. Was supposed to go with the Mrs but our contact sold the the tickets the day before we got to BA as he hadn't heard from our organisers. Needless to say, I was gutted as I hadn't really thought it would come to anything. But knowing the tickets were available until the day before was gutting. I checked out viagogo but the reviews on that site are fucking awful so I wouldn't recommend it. My hopes were very low as even tour guides didn't seem to have reliable contacts. Boca and river plate do not sell tickets, you have to be a member. Fortunately the contact felt suitably guilty and manage to arrange a "ticket" for me despite it being illegal for non members to attend. He picked me up in town and drove me down towards the ground. He ran through what would happen once we got there. There would be a series of security checks that may not be in the order described. He then gave me a counterfeit pass that had my passport number on and photo. He also gave me a legit pass which I'd need to use at the scanners as well as handing me a phone which I used to let him know I got in ok as he wasn't coming in with me! Order of security: 1) show the membership card and passport 2) security check 3) pass scan (need a legit pass for this) 4) pass check 5) pass check I was in the south stand middle tier, which was all terraced so free for all in terms of standing. So opposite the main ultras. Atmosphere. I got there hours before so I could check out the stadium in all its glory. I wasn't alone, hundreds of others at either end were there and were happily singing away until closer to kick off. I've never known anything like it. The noise, the passion and the jumping was insane. The weirdest thing was at the stroke of half time, everyone sat down immediately . All fine and well if you have step to yourself but everyone was stood on a step so you're left cramped trying to hold your own meanwhile the guys selling ice cream and pepsis are trying to work their way through the crowd despite not an inch of available space. I reckon we'd give boca a good run for their money. They really aren't very good but still top the league. They also have the argentine striker, benedetto. Can't say he's anything special. Anyway. I paid $2,000 (pesos) for all that, you can get tickets via a tour group but expect to pay nearly double that. You get a tour but not sure where you sit. I preferred my way well worth the hassle and effort.

Nail. On. Head. Knowing that we signed that to cover someone of Rooney's quality made his injury all the harder to take. Not one of the worst though, had plenty worse before him.

2/3 of those dons players deserve it, however they're clearly trying to maximise their aberdonian attendance.

Ooft that was some finish from Christie for the equaliser. We really need to break the bank to sign him (if possible).

Kaiken reserva, 2016 malbec. VERY tasty.

1-1 so far, uncharacteristic error from Lewis for the first

I really hope that's the case. There's a player there, maybe getting out of Scotland will coax it out of him.
