I'm feeling much the same. Thistle picking up some kind of form just as we stop our winning run and have to make a heap of forced changes.

Brilliant summation Rico.

Good. Best ref in Scotland

Out Radio Bed 0-4 Mclean, Hayes, Rooney (2)

4489 for, 4443 against.

That was the whole point of his remarks, to conflate "nationalism" with 'Scottish nationalism', and so there he clearly is NOT correct. edit: CS beat me to it

Hmmmm

Mrs granite says she woild not. Not that she has any lezzer tendencies of course. It was just an observation apparently.

Google Andre Neil Interviewing the dug. It'll give you a laugh, and remember how.much Neil attacks independence when.you do The BLIS conference has been a huge win for the snp.

Was right behind McLean for the penalty claim, looked a stonewaller all day long. My refereeing local publican (and not a dons fan) was puffing at the simplicity of the penalty call. Yet commentator gave it not.much review and not mentioned at all in the studio on sportscene Cunts

Flicking through some of the objections lodged with planning, I really do despair. Came across this beaut: "As a resident of prperty within the eastern & northern elevated part of Westhill..........this not only affects me as a resident, but also as a keen golfer & walker in the area. I am also concerned on [sic] the impact that the significant effect on views may have on the resale value of my house" How exactly does this affect Westhill golf club? (in fairness anything that did could only improve that fucking shitehole). How does it affect his walking, the parks concerned are not a walking area. His house price - yup that's a planning issue

9 year old thread, nice digging there

Have to agree, and been saying so for a while. All the talk of rampaging drunks, blocked roads, cinemas, just deflects from the few real areas of concern. If they'd stuck to real points and hammered them they may have had more leverage.

Birkdale is fabulous Rocket, I think you'll change your mind there. Fair points on Trump, I detest the 10th, think it's a terrible hole, and yes 1st green in funky. Have to say I don't think the front nine has a bad hole, but 10, 12, 16 & 17 are nae that great on the back. Having only finally played the Broch a couple years back, I'd echo the fun comment, if it wasn't in the most hooring cold part of the country in a dreich town, I think it would get plenty rave reviews.

https://www.facebook.com/MarkMcDonaldSNP/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED&fref=nf Constituency MP comes out in favour..... I have today issued the following statement in relation to the proposal by Aberdeen Football Club to build a new stadium at Kingsford: After taking the time to scrutinise the proposals put forward, and speak to AFC officials it is clear to me that this development would be fantastic, not only for the football club, but for the wider Aberdeen city and shire region. There is an opportunity here to deliver first class training and playing facilities not only for professional footballers, but for the local communities as well. One of the best things about Aberdeen Football Club is the excellent work by the Community Trust to engage children and adults with playing sport, leading healthier lifestyles, and taking part in charitable activity; it would be fantastic to see that reach out across communities. For me this decision has been well thought-through, as I know the importance of considering the potential challenges in any major development. I am aware of concerns about the impact a new stadium may have on traffic and parking management in nearby streets, but I am confident that the plans the club have to implement parking restrictions, similar to those that exist around Pittodrie on match days at present, will ensure residents are not inconvenienced. I believe the proximity of the ground to the AWPR junction will mean the vast majority of traffic to and from the ground will enter neither Kingswells or Westhill villages. Having attended many matches at Pittodrie over the years, I have yet to encounter any form of disorder either inside or outside the ground, nor in the communities nearby before or after a match. For cities to thrive and be successful they need a good balance of diversity and interest, and a £50million investment in a fit-for-purpose first class stadium is exactly the sort of boost Aberdeen needs. Whilst I cannot influence the decision making on this proposal I felt as the MSP whose constituency the development is proposed for it was only fair that I voice my own opinion on the matter. The consultation on this proposal is open until Monday February 27th and I sincerely hope those who want to see a strong future for AFC and for our region will show their support.

The forum seems lacking in talk of the greatest game in the world, but Mr Scientist set me thinking this morning with the below.... While I agree with all of the rest, plus you missed out that he didn't bargain for how long a course takes to be ready for play from new build in our climate, I take issue with how good the course is. Let's forget Trump being a total erse, that's a given. And we'll move past best course in the world because again, that's a helluva tall order, and will always be subjective anyway, and obviously it isn't. I honestly don't think even Royal Snoberdeen can beat it, far less anywhere else in the north east, he truly has built an astonishing layout. What are your issues with the course?

Wrong road min, we're talking about the A944. Fans walking from the kingswells park & ride will walk under the AWPR as it is a flyover where it crosses the A944.

They can cycle on the road, it'll be at a standstill remember :rofl:

Why not? The councillor for Sheddocksley has successfully retardedly got the speed limit reduced from Hazelehead to Westhill to 40mph, and there's a wide pavement all the way down the north side, which is where people would naturally walk. What's the difference between walking down King Street, Golf Road, the Esplanade, or even across a golf course? The Community Council at the final Westhill Inn meeting, having now been taken over by the NO brigade, are actively blocking, or attempting to block, all reasonable suggestions for parking overspill in the area. Despite that the Dons have secured already, over 600 spaces in Arnhall Ind Est. No doubt more will come. I know for instance that my local is intending running shuttle buses, come the time parking will be fine.

Aberdeenshire council are objecting to the development - Item 7 http://committees.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/committees.aspx?commid=6&meetid=18435

Listened to him on Radio EngScotland, definetely not a resounding 'not interested', wishy washy happy here, got a job to do. If they come in he'll be off

Excellent Mr Scientist, TY.

Far's at fae min? Exactly what I'm needing for beside my reading recliner.

They need to be small and obviously in good nick. A pair oh Nora batty's wouldn't do at all.
