  1. Fucking ridiculous. If the Tims were playing tonight, they'd have had audio coverage on line fae the BBC. Second rate citizens. Anyway, probably the correct line up.
  2. That Jamie McDonald should have done better for McGinn's goal? Bit harsh.
  3. The DriveAndFuckOff arena.
  4. Good stuff. Although I'm assuming that means an end to Rogers. Hope he's right footed like all proper goalkeepers.
  5. Why a pre-contract? Hope that is just part of the negotiation to get the price down. If we're signing a striker with a dubious record to date (one goal in his career) then we need to get him in now so that we can suss him out for the rest of the season (and because we only have one fit striker). Otherwise we're left with a Stockley/Maynard type (who's looking increasingly more competent as the season goes on) that we're looking to shift on again come January. If we're buying for next season, then perhaps we need to buy another striker for the remainder of this.
  6. It didn't though, I just chose to quote only the last two. I'd never make such a rudimentary error. In fact, I can safely say that I've written some of the most error-free posts in the history of the internet. The greatest posts too. With the most views.
  7. Hopefully a lot clearer than your second last sentence.
  8. Don't be ridiculous. Nobody wants Maynard.
  9. To be honest, it was blatantly obvious against the hun that we needed another option up front. It's also blatantly obvious that it isn't Maynard. When you looked to the bench you could see the dearth of options and it was the weakest area on the pitch in terms of starting 11 and options. If we don't get a striker in this window and May doesn't regain - and retain - fitness then we'll really struggle to finish second. We don't even need a striker that scores goals, just an option up front that can bring other into play and retain the ball for more than 3 seconds. It's blatantly obvious that Rooney isn't that option, and it's obvious that McInnes sees that too, given he started Stockley every time we played the hun or tim last season. He might turn out to be pish, but we absolutely need to do something in this window and I expect there is little available. We obviously need to ditch Maynard ASAP too.
  10. Think we might struggle a little, a midweek in the heelans might be a difficult task. I'm going 0-2 the dandies, McLean and McGinn. Assume we'll see Christie back in for Ball. Would prefer to see Shinnie moved to left back (mainly because he was fucking horse in midfield at the weekend) and keep Ball or bring in Nwakali* in centre mid. Lewis looking like he's out for the rest of the season, which is a disaster. Hopefully Rogers will do the business, and be given the opportunity to do the business, but I've a feeling he's nae quite going to make it for us. *nae entirely convinced by Nwakali at the weekend. Looked a bit of a headless chicken, albeit fairly mobile. He had an excellent hack on the Killie fucker for his deserved booking, and set up McLean with a good chance after putting himself about so hopefully he'll prove to be a good option. I have my doubts though, looked a bit Belabed.
  11. I meant it's a stand alone project (i.e. it's not part of any city development plan or any other projects for the area). It's not even remotely integrated with the city of Aberdeen. The AWPR is a bypass. The clue is in the name.
  12. It is another shopping mall or glass office block. It's inspired by that type of development at least. Not integrated and without thought to the surrounding area. There should be no emphasis on the city to do anything, it's a stand alone venture by a stand alone private company. That is entirely clear in this project, and should be abundantly clear in its treatment. That's not to say that anyone should be spiteful, unhelpful or deliberately put up barriers, but the onus is entirely on the club to make a success of it - no one else. I agree with your suggestions about the bar and/or coffee arrangements, but the problem with these out of town Ikea-type developments (or even AECC with bugger all round it) is that they lure you in with an event then take the piss with absolutely atrocious food offerings and shite beer served by massive companies that have zero interest in AFC. Everything in the club's current food offering at Pittodrie suggest that perhaps that won't change. I think we'll see, as we get closer to the development/building stage, that we'll sign some long term contracts with the likes of Sodexo that will help finance the project whilst selling us out in some binding agreement to provide shite food. Hopefully not, it's a huge opportunity to make it good. To be honest, I probably have different ideas as to what constitutes good food from the majority of folks anyway.
  13. When you build it They will come For the first 4 - 5 season At which point they won't bother their arses Field of Dreams/hazardous landfill waste

  15. Yes. We wouldn't people voting against a majority. That would be a disaster for democracy. I think everyone should vote the same way regardless of their own opinion.
  16. approved 32 - 9
  17. It's a done deal. Unless there are a heap of folk hiding somewhere in the building.
  18. Really? Seems like there's been about 800 speeches. If not, come on the silent majority...
  19. Final two. Looking good for the dons...
  20. Now come the "fors's's'". Going to be close...
  21. Councillor F John just did some spasm with his shoulders before forgetting where he was, which I found amusing. A lot of againsts so far....
  22. Difficult to tell really. Shinnie was so far off the pace yesterday it was unreal. He looked decent, but the type that might ship a couple of goals if he was put under any pressure.
  23. I do, I just don't agree. Yes he did, we completely dominated them from the kick off. We had the better of them in every position and could have scored more That's what happened at Ibrox, but it was the lack of belief instilled in the players that was blamed. The difference between us and hibs is similar to that between us and the huns. Ha ha, fair doos. Again, going back to your original point about being better, Lennon was just a better footballer. That's all. McInnes captained West Brom to Championship victory and in the Premiership. Captained Utd, Millwall and St Johnstone too. That's a lot of captaincy for someone who isn't a winner. Or a lot of mistakes by subsequent managers. I think McInnes could do much better, but I think we're struggling personnel wise this season. We had a lot of re-building this season (Hayes alone against the huns midweek would have massive difference), and I think that meant we struggled to get players in the positions we actually needed to strengthen in. I just don't think we're as good as we were last season, but the fact that we have more points is testament to McInnes. We've ground out a lot of points this season that previous managers wouldn't have won us, and Lennon hasn't with hibs.
