Las Palmas pick up 3 points with a 2-1 win against Barcelona at the Nou Camp with Scott McKenna playing the whole match. Always surprises me that he’s not Scotland’s first choice left-sided central defender when fit.

That third goal was on Rubezic, fuck knows what goes on in his head.

That Christie/Shankland substitution has sucked the life and creativity out of us.

Did he though? Didn’t get a game in Dutch football, never gets called up to a shit New Zealand squad and has never really shown anything more than a purple patch of form in a tinpot league

Too much shitebag “dip half a foot in and hope for the best” defending.

We don’t need to get into that, glad that didn’t happen. As Jimmy says “we must stay humble”, don’t give our opposition ammunition. Goodwin is an irrelevance.

I’m assuming the colours are based on Fergie’s jacket in Gothenburg (and Forest’s colours are based on Brian Clough’s bright green jumper).

10 minutes???

25 minutes in, has Clarkson touched the ball yet?

Now being linked with a Swede who doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. Tinpot as fuck.

Hopefully he sticks it in the top corner next time. Keane can GTF, if that was a Man Utd darling like Ronaldo or Beckham he’d be saying something about all top players having the arrogance and self belief to have a go in that situation.

Fair enough I suppose, a bit light in defence but manageable. Scandinavian leagues finish in about 6 weeks so maybe a chance to pick up a free agent or two while the window is closed.

Bavidge has already had a season in League 1, needs to go up a level. Plus ICT are a bit of a basket case at the moment.

Nice to see the Scottish FA JD Performance School being highly productive.

I'm quite enjoying the Shinnaissance, he seems to be playing with a lot less aggression and frustration, and is committing less fouls and picking up less bookings as a result.

So option 1 with a big enough chequebook for compo/brown envelopes then, sorted! Will still be cheaper than the beach option.

Nae bother. Plenty of room all around. Probably don't need the houses in the north west corner inside the footprint, but I think they're being demolished to make room for the Berryden dualler if that ever goes ahead anyway. Could also rotate it 45 degrees and move closer to George Street so not building directly over the railway. You'd need to compensate the building owners of the industrial units but I reckon that would cost less than the extra ground work and piling you'd need to do to put the stadium next to the beach. The stadium itself would actually fit inside the empty site itself too, but I guess then you'd need car parking, emergency access, etc, to be underneath the stadium. Either way, a far better option than anything that's been proposed so far.

I still reckon Broadford Works is the perfect site if you include all of the business units between Ann Street and Skene Square and the buildings bordering Hutcheon Street and Maberly Street. It certainly passes the highly technical process of copying and pasting the Pittodrie footprint onto the site using a screenshot of Google Maps. Decent road network (especially if/when they dual Berryden Road up to St Machar roundabout), accessible to just about every existing bus route to/from/in the city, already has a train track running under which could have a station incorporated into it, loads of pubs nearby and could help regenerate the George Street area. Re-use as much of the red bricks in the facade as possible and re-purpose the watch tower as a floodlight to satisfy the heritage people.

Can't say I ever watched Hibs much other than when they played us, but based on those games and his Scotland cameos he never really stood out for me. Looking at the comments on him on the Millwall Forum, he really doesn't sound like someone that would fit into our playing style (or dressing room culture) and apparently turned up for pre-season a couple of stone overweight.

Keskinen seemed to look more dangerous in the middle than out wide. I don’t think he’ll be the out and out winger we were expecting. Vinny played well I thought other than some brainfart decision making.

The HJK player that stood out most was their striker Bojan Radulović, he signed for Huddersfield for £1.2m in January but hardly got any game time and they ended up being relegated to League 1.

According to Wikipedia, he has a tattoo of Wayne Rooney fishing on his arm. Edit - found it!

Interestingly he has signed from Troyes who are part of the City Football Group. I see Miovski is being heavily linked with Girona this morning who are also part of the City Football Group.

No number for Bavidge is a bit odd.

McGarry doesn’t seem to have the heart to try and beat a man, almost the complete opposite of MacKenzie who would run through a brick wall to try and get to the byline. I’m happy with Jack as our long term first choice left back.
