The view from the RDU is shite, why people sit there I just dont get.

Because you don't 

Know somebody at the game and ICT looked pretty impressive. Storie and Shankland were the best of the Dons while McKenna had a couple of decent headers saved by (very overage player) Esson

Superb stuff saints.

RDL sold out (and looks like it will be near to that most the season, certainly it is ALL TICKET for every match)

In/oot: In

Prematcher: Due to a later train than normal probably straight to the ground

Match: New ST in the SS Section S. It better be good, they better let me stand and there better be an atmosphere (ha)

Postmatcher: Barely time to grab a carryoot before hoping onto the train

Prediction: 3-0 Dons

First Scorer: McGinn

Don't pick up too many injuries sitting around your house though do you?

Cash gates for the Merkland and Main only.

 

RDS is all ticket and South is unavailable unless you have already bought a ticket.

 

Someone crashed in to the turnstiles and apparently there's only two that can be open. 

Wondered what the fuck was going on with the South Stand

Better have it fixed for next Saturday

I'd rather not if that's what happens

Just got a text saying the same thing.

Injury prone I think but if fit good signing I'd say.

copied from p&b

Since they beat Videton of Hungary in 1989, the Hibs have played in 10 European ties and got through only once…against Dinaburg of Latvia in the Inter Tattie Cup (that doesn't count). Meanwhile the giants of FK Vetra, Dnipro, Odense, Elfsborg, Maribor and Malmo have all given them a bit of a doing.

Hibs are and have been shite for years. Normally they have an inexplicabley good start to the season which saves them from utter disaster when their season falls to bits after Xmas. Doesn't look like that will happen this year and with no rat boy the only thing they seem to have to look forward to his fenlon getting punted, they may even give hearts a run for their money.

Great result for the Perth Fermers. Have Minsk or someone next so good chance to go further, and 8000 watching the game, hope some of them stick about for the season.

Really??:

Edinburgh City Council said that it was safer to grant permission for the event instead of having an unofficial gathering in the capital.

The SDL had applied to the local authority to march down the Royal Mile to the Scottish Parliament on Saturday 17 August.

In recent years the presence of the SDL has sparked counter-protests from groups such as United Against Fascism.

The Royal Mile is typically packed with tourists and festival-goers throughout August and one city centre councillor[/color][/size] describing the route as “madness”.

It is thought that SDL representatives agreed to reschedule earlier plans from August 24, which would have coincided with the Festival of Politics at Holyrood.

Councillor Joanna Mowat, who represents the city centre, said that she did not object to the march in principle, but that the route chosen was questionable.

“My view is, however objectionable they are, they are not an illegal group and it is easier to police them if you know where they are going to be”, she told The Scotsman.

“If the SDL came up to Edinburgh without permission we wouldn’t know where they are and it might cause trouble.

“However, the route is madness and I’m very concerned to hear it was approved. This will be very, very difficult route to police at that time of year so I find it astonishing.”

[/size][/color]Councillor Gavin Barrie, convener of the city’s regulatory committee, which oversees public events, defended the decision and said that members of the group would be “subject to strict conditions”.

He said: “The Regulatory Committee has decided that it is in the interest of public safety to allow the Scottish Defence League’s procession to take place, subject to strict conditions.

“It was the view of the committee that a police controlled procession, rather than an unplanned, unofficial event would be less disruptive to the city. The committee’s decision to allow the procession in no way endorses the views of the SDL.”

A [/size]Police Scotland spokesman said: “We note the decision of the regulatory committee, and we will liaise with the City of Edinburgh Council and with organisers as part of our preparations for the policing operation, which will focus on keeping people safe.”

Premiership is bad, the Championship for the 2nd Tier is fucking SHITE

Apart from the fact it was lazy why the fuck are they continuely trying to model themselves on the English game? Fuckpigs the lot of them.

Anyway nice new badge for those that like to get these on their shirt:

Arbroath 1-7 ICT

Billy McKay got five

Robertson is off injured too btw

Ex Don Jordan Brown scored two.

I know it's pre season but bit disappointing so close to the start of the season.

In contrast ict are winning 4-0 at Arbroath

Just discovered this via Facebook, thought it might interest some of you and bring back some distant memories for Big Al.  Looks like they have a paper magazine as well as their internet site

It makes me sick to think what kind of nauseating platitudes most of the current Labour group will/would come out with.

On 23 June 1894, a future king was born. Keir Hardie, who had been elected as the first Independent Labour Member of Parliament, spoke in the Commons:

<blockquote>“From his childhood onwards this boy will be surrounded by sycophants and flatterers by the score – [cries of “Oh!,oh!] – and will be taught to believe himself as of a superior creation [cries of “Oh,oh!]. A line will be drawn between him and the people whom he is to be called upon some day to reign over. …and the end of it all will be that the country will be called upon to pay the bill. [Cries of Divide!]”

Not sure you have much of a point there as Salmond plans to keep the Queen as head of state following independence.

Yup, although I would expect a referendum on the monarchy a few years down the line, that certainly ain't going to happen in the UK which seems to get more and more saturated with Royal and Military pish every year.
