Ouch. Can I pay at the gate?

Forfar website suggests not as tickets for home end stop at 12 on Saturday.

£14 

Apologies got the stand and terrace mixed up.

 

In an amazing turn of events, despite stating clearly here that I would not be attending the game it may well transpire that infact I will be attending following the postponement of the event that was to rule me out of doing so.

 

Much is it to get in?

£16 for the terrace.

Think the main reason behind them not appealing is currently ban will only cover two EPL games against Stoke and Bolton while the rest of the games will be FA and League cup. If they appealed could well mean him missing games against the bigger sides if they failed.

Wonder why he does not want to reveal what the punishment could be? Maybe not wanting to creat a precident for when HRMC put the Rangers into the same boat?

In/Oot: In (2 in a row)

Pre-match: Fuck knows possibly the Plough

Match: Terrace 

Post-match: Trying to get back to Edinburgh

Prediction: 3-0 Dons with maybe us having more shots on target than the opposition for a change.

Crowd: 4,000

Pretty accurate suming up of the game actually. Sounds like hes going though.

Not sure if its my hangover or not but West Brom v Everton looks as bad as the pish served up in the SPL.

In/Oot: In

Pre match: Train then various boozers in Dundee

Match: Shed

Post match: Various boozers in Dundee then train home

Prediction: 1-1

Attendance: 8k

Don't get me wrong, I always take everything on that site with a fist full of salt and I guess wasn't really related to the topic intended. I find it ridiculous that it's even a story or one that the club would want being put to press

 

I was impressed with Taoill (sp) when he was at Killie last season, seemed to have that attacking flair we required. But he hasn't really done much at Hearts for one reason or another.

 

We also really need to sign the likes of Arnason / Milsom / Osbourne up on longer term deals.

 

Edit: McMaster just said exactly that.

Will be stunned if we keep even one of them. Expect all three to be gone by the summer.

Would love to see us take at least one full back (not David McNamee) a winger and creative central mid. Would like to see Mackie Magennis and McArdle shipped out. However as been suggested I fully expect them to string us along all January with stories about the return of Russell Anderson before eventually signing nobody.

Hayes goal against HIVs last night was quite special. Must have gone past 6 players before finishing it well. I know Tlg mentioned he is a fan, but is this someone we should be looking at?

Do not be rediculous why would we want a wide player who creates chances and scores goals. Much better getting in another central defender.

Joking aside would expect Hayes to move south when his contract with expires with Caley. Would love to see him at Aberdeen but suspect we have missed the chance of getting him.

Cheers for the match review. It did sound like we tried to play despite the conditions, just wish we'd managed to knick it in the final few minutes.

 

It really does concern me that we have very few wide players (Pawlett aside) and it doesn't look like this is going to change anytime soon You just know we'll end up with another striker and central midfielder.

Your forgetting the injured central defender we are already chasing.

In/Oot: oot

Pre match: Work

Match: Flat listening to radio

Post match: Flat

Prediction: 1-2 Hearts and at least 1 of those involved in the Alan Hansen sports challange to be refused entry to the game.

Attendance: 11,000

Wow Jute.

 

You been  takin happy pills? This is spectacularly optimistic for your good self.

Looks like you were right and I was being over optimistic.

Will be very surprised if Arnason stays. His contract should have been extended long before now but yet again despite Brown saying he would not let things drag we find ourselves in the situation of our players being able to speak to other in clubs in only 6 days and the Dons not having made them any offers.

Quite surprised at the stats on the BBC website as it felt like we were marginally the better team without, as usual, creating enough chances. Looked like a lack of concentration that cost us any points.  Not a great game and a very disappointing result. Good work by Milsom for our goal.

 

With Caley looking pretty poor at the back, we really need to be creating more chances in a game like that. We definitely missed Pawlett.

Did not create that many chances when he was on the field last week either.

Sounds awful like the reserve league that all the clubs scraped a few years back.

Saw this guy play for Sligo against St Pats back in May and he looked a decent player. More mobile than Fallon I would say and more of a footballer than the ex goalie or Mackie.

Totally agree manc at the end of the day we won the game because of it and this is way more important.  His red card will be rescinded surely and he will be out for two games.  I dont like it but i think the sfa were right to nail pawlett for this and have shown consistency by doing it which is to their credit. One thing no one has mentioned is that if the sfa maintain this standard players will stop chucking themselves down in the box so much which is no bad thing.  It does my head in when a player goes down unconvincingly when if they had fought for the ball they would have been in for an assist or goal scoring opportunity.

I did. see bit in bold.

As I said previously SFA set a precident when they said contact on Aluko was minimal and not enough to justify Aluko going down. Pawlet was similar situation. He did make the contact look a lot worse than it was and therefore is guilty of simulation. I just hope we see this applied to all the other teams in the league and we see an end to players throwing themselves to the ground at the slightest touch. Not holding my breath.

Surely the FA have to act against him too to show consistency.

Would suspect that as their are criminal charges on the go they will hold off until after these are decided.

Surely a no-win, no-fee type deal on these things would make sense?

 

Or it's just another way for the OF to buy their way to the top.

 

Fees were brought in to prevent clubs appealing decisions even when they knew they had no chance of winning just to delay suspensions. You get the money back if the appeal is successful I believe.

I had a good year, so fuck you losers!

 

I think my life is so good because of karma, ken, abidee else is a wank and i'm a good guy. 

I would suggest you are living proof that Karma is pile of horse shit. 

All sounds pretty good in theory but putting it in place will be the fun part. Can see good few major hurdles to over come. Cannot see SPL clubs giving up any income or power to other clubs. Also suspect convincing some of the junior clubs and EOSL clubs to go to the cost of applying for the pro licence to join the new super leagues might not be as easy as SFA seem to think.

and he's just signed Eggert Jonsson 

Begining of the Hearts fire sale?

Decent player but not EPL standard. This Wolves preparing for relegation?
