I see he's said he'll be taking 6 months off, just biding his time to see who fails post summer transfer window? Think your shout about Italy is a good one SdG.

Very much this. I wouldn't want him to go to a mediocre club such as Bolton and scummy Leeds anyway. I don't think he'd be stupid enough to go to the latter either, a club in absolute turmoil - make the huns look stable. If it is true, as others have said, i'd expect a massive fee to be paid as he's got plenty of time left and we'd need it to find a decent replacement. Marley Watkins? If anyone goes, I want it to be now to allow sufficient time for the club to find the right replacements and time to settle.

Must the be the last remaining of the "salt of the Earth" folk left at the club? I'd rather see him gone after his testimonial because he is the epitome of mediocrity, but if deek thinks he can be a good couch, well I'll trust his judgement.

I haven't watched one race this season, which is the first time since it moved back to BBC. Selling its soul to pointless rich countries along with other rule changes has just made it completely boring. I can't say I'm missing it either.

Wish I'd put some money on it, a mate mentioned this about 3 weeks ago. Can't say I'm surprised, benitez would also fit the bill.

Hopefully be able to make one of the trips, Holland purely from a selfish point of view would be good. Good to be back in the mix anyway!

This is the most important point here IMO, opening up a spot, hopefully for a new no. 1 is something we needed to happen. Maybe the best way without costing the club more money.

Useless jakey bastards. Can't say I'm overly confident about Motherwell putting up a challenge but at least its not Killie.

Article in the EE, feel for him, I really do but sadly it is for the best:

A few new posters of late, welcome aboard!

This would please me greatly. Hopefully wed see quite a quick upturn of performance. Wasn't he the one that brought in (i'll whisper it)....Bossu to the club?

Would like to see hibs back up and motherwell down. Just hope hibs can turn it around! *massivefingerscrossedsmilie*

I do like watching and been trying to get tickets for the championships but always seem to miss the dates. Used to play a fair bit in Holland / Manc but there's not that many darts boards down here. ED did just send me some AFC flights for my darts though so hopefully get back into it Just wish there wasn't such a noticeable difference between the BDO and PDC competitions.

Is that a permanent thing though, I thought it was a temporary thing?

http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/partick-thistle/1321180-steven-lawless-handed-two-match-ban-for-betting-on-513-games/ Steven Lawless (Partick) has been handed a 2 match ban for betting on football. Is it really a bad thing though? Surely unless you are betting on games your involved with (i.e. your club), does it matter?

DM was saying on RedTV that the club should do everything possible to encourage more noise and in particular, a singing section. Let's hope the rest of the powers that be agree.

Sure this will cause a bit of a stir amongst a few of you https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/name-it/328555/16-things-might-know-aberdeen-rowies/

Well, van Praag has withdrawn. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32826308 Hopefully it means that the others (i.e. not that fat swiss cunt) have colluded and trying to ensure the votes go towards the strongest candidate.

The bit in bold is going to take a bit of getting used to. He's been in the team for most of my Dons supporting life I know he's not really featured this season, but he's still the captain.

Competent player is Joe, always thought that and was surprised we're letting him go.

Absolute useless bastards. If they fuck it up, Scottish football should close them down.

Was actually thinking the same thing earlier this week RS. Its difficult to see where things will change because, as you point out the money stays within the same circles. Depressing as fuck if you only look at it on the surface, but I think times are changing. People are mobilising, people aren't accepting that.things are the way they are because that's the way things are. I'd even go as far to say the SNP are an example of it with their attitude in the commons. People shouldn't accept. Someone said to me the other day that we shouldn't always question, I queried why not . the way I see it, the day we stop questioning is the day we stop learning and may as well accept ourselves being slaves.

Fantastic news, yet again, he's shown why he so highly regarded by those at the club as well as the supporters. If he goes next summer, I would be very pleased for him. As i and many others have said, he's stuck with us, learnt his trade and got a seriously high number of appearances for someone of his age. Seeing what he and McLean could do in midfield next season is something I really want to see.

From reading a bit about him, seems like he may be on the verge of the main squad so must be highly regarded at least. Having Hart to learn from can only be a good thing.
