SSN or SSN?

Nosey Aberdonians make the CIA look like a bunch of amateurs.

Nah I was on the bus, certainly wasn't expecting to see that!

Anyone see the old guy walking a fully grown tortoise up King Street before the match? They were (very slowly) walking past Manzil towards Union Street when I saw them.

Never really been convinced by him to be honest, he seems to get a lot of leeway purely because Anderson wasn't great as a right back when he first came into the team and people seem to think that every single centre half will come good when they're in their late 20's.

I thought he signed a new 2/3 year contract with Boro a couple of months ago?

Not literally of course, but the signs don't look too good: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8019073.stm

He's a "weel kent face" in Aberdeen, absolute nut job.

It was my understanding that you are supposed to buy tickets for the trains there, they just don't have ticket barriers and don't seem to have ticket inspectors so they just trust people to pay the correct amount.

Why would the transport be free?

Is it?

I want to see the back of Calderwood, but I disagree with protesting before a match. I'm not all that keen on the idea of protesting at all to be honest, the concept itself has never really appealed to me.

I want him gone, I have lost all faith in his ability to manage AFC. However, concerns over the cost of dismissing the management team and sourcing a replacement need to be addressed before we do anything. I'd like to see Willie Miller leave also.

The council granted planning permission a few weeks ago for a business park/hotel/'leisure facility' complex in the plot between the stadium site and Balmoral Group's premises. The rail line that goes through Cove is about a mile from the stadium site, not sure how much it would cost to construct a station though. If they did build a station, it could link into the Inverurie-Stonehaven crosslink rail project. A concrete platform and some railings shouldn't be too expensive hopefully.

McGhee didn't "blast" Aberdeen fans at all and the "nonsense" quote was regarding Motherwell fans criticising him.

Why has this kid got his mobile phone on him in training? http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/ce/67/0,,10284~5662670,00.jpg[/img]

Probably could do without the EE reporters banging on his mother's door badgering her for a quote.

I don't know a single Dons fan who wants our club to be run like Hearts or expects us to sign £1 million players so instead of answering to criticisms that were never made in the first place, why doesn't he respond to the legitimate questions like why he gave Calderwood a 3 year contract extension and why players like Bertrand Bossu and Dave Bus are allowed to be signed?

I just updated the system time to account for the 20~ minute discrepancy so it should be sorted for everyone.

"Managers like myself, John Hughes and Craig Levein set out to try and win every single game." Not Jimmy too?

The drop in membership is probably to do with them not reminding folk they need to keep paying a tenner a year if they want to stay a member. I joined up when it started but didn't hear a peep from them afterwards.

Aye, like the lack of first team opportunities for young players for example. Derek Young doesn't play any positions that the great white hope Peter Pawlett can't play, I don't see the point in wasting any money regardless of how much it is, on Young when we've got the opportunity to give Pawlett more involvement to aid in his development as a player. If he's stuck behind Young (who will be 30 when his contract expires) then we risk of not seeing Pawlett's full potential. Although we do need squad players, they still need to be of a certain standard of which Young is not. If we're going to fill our squad with cheap squad players who aren't good enough to play on a regular basis if need be, we'd be as well just using our youth team as the squad players, they couldn't do any worse and we may get lucky with one or two who come into the first team and hit the ground running.

Who's starting shit about accountants? Eh? Eh? 'mon 'en
