Killie lost, Partick won. Top 6 decided, so hopefully see the fixtures by close of play Monday.

Am I right in thinking that we are heavily constricted by the RDS positioning? If we're doing hypothetical stadium plans, wid it be possible to ditch the RDS and move the whole thing back by 5 or so metres and perhaps round a bit to the left if yer facing from the sea in order to use the space where the Soother car park is? Then you'd be further from the flats on both Sooth and Merkie. That'd be perfect, thanks. Anyway, I'll take the 13 thoosan seats for now and we can keep that until building techniques improve and we can get a further 5 thoosan then.

It's pretty decent from what I remember. I can't think of one other even remotely okay Sandler film.

Because my memory of the Happy Gilmour film isn't great.

There was a suggestion that the people hosing down the victims were not wearing protection and, if so, that they should also have succumbed to the sarin gas. I haven't the qualifications to verify such a stance, nor have I seen the videos. I don't believe it, as I expect said gas would have dispersed after impact and so the hosers would not indeed have been affected, but that's just a very unqualified assumption. My initial thought it that I'd wait for a UN investigation rather than bombing shite out of somewhere on the say so of American intelligence. Or that cunt Hillary Benn.

Scraps The innocent bystander getting nailed by the horse wis mildly amusing.

I ken fuck all about golf. I was just putting in my suggestion up front so that I could appear knowledgeable if he won. Obviously, if ye'd followed up with any other questions I'd have been fucked.

Rose.

Does it mean I can ditch my ticket and simply scan my phone at the turnstile? That would be of added benefit to me in my quest for ever emptier pockets.

Killie are playing the tims on Saturday. If they lose that, then there's no real excuse for the fixtures not to be released immediately after our game on the Sunday. Top 6 would be confirmed. There's only a couple of permutations available now, so they should have two sets of possible fixtures ready to go. Just tweet fuck oot the cunts immediately prior to us humping der hun. Monday at latest if they insist on not working weekends.

That looks ace.

Huns v Kille a dra' as was Tims v Partick. Hertz lose again to Saints and go behind them. Very close at the bottom with a further dra' atween Well and Accies. Could see Well going down on this form. ICT better than both those teams.

Too long

You know it's bad when you get your own article.

Is your son any good? If so, I can highly recommend AFC as a promoter of fine youth players. We are often described as the team with one of the finest benches for sitting on in the country. He'd be so comfortable here. If he's shite, then send him to the huns.

I was at both games. Storey's is definitely a worse miss, but I didn't celebrate for several seconds before realising he'd missed unlike Iwelumo's one. His was far more costly. I definitely haven't seen worse than Storey's ever. Not even playing at Sports Village.

Worst miss in the history of football: 1

No. It's nae. There's not a bunch of flats behind their equivalent Souther. The light-blocker from their Souther, I expect, will nae be cause the same issue as ours because it's nae residential. I'm making this assumption, as the cooncil have just allowed a glass box monstrosity to be placed within half a metre of an historic building in our very own city centre. I suspect that, had that historic building been residential, the cooncil would still have found a way to pass the abomination at Marischal college.

Good result. Tight game again, but did well. They were better than hearts. Storey. Jesus. I hope we do the decent thing in the summer and let him go.

On the edge of town, like, for example, Westhill?

Good stuff min. Good stuff indeed. Some good stats in there. Before the turn of the year nobody would have expected the current return. Pro-rated the 92/92 87 goals would be 75. A good couple of wins tonight and Sunday and that could be doable, which would be spectacular. Four more wins and we'll have sealed second spot in what would be considered a pretty damn good season. Hopefully we'll get to a final ina, as we definitely deserve it (we currently have one more point than the Hibees this season too). I'll happily lose to the Tims in the league in return for a cup final victory. We deserve a couple of records to be broken given some of our huge wins, and probably deserve a cup ina.

A more applicable quote might have been: After all Aberdeen have done for Scottish fitba, I really hope the SFA give us the cup.

Not at all min, good reply to a, what appeared on re-reading, slightly aggressive post! The facilities are tied to this particular application, but there is nothing stopping them doing the training pitches without the stadium in this location or like the one they began at Balgownie. I merely meant the argument that the club need new training pitches so we must move from Pittodrie is the flawed one. It seems the second part where we disagree, and it's entirely subjective. I just can't see the club going through another Patterson-esque era and retaining crowds of over 10K shuttling to the outskirts of nowhere. I think the business case here is flawed. I say that because Aberdeen simply don't have the permanent financial advantage to ensure they remain second every season and they will at some point see a loss in form that sees them drop into the lower half of the league. Such is the nature of Scottish fitba. A prolonged period of finishing behind the huns would even see a drop of in attendances. The new stadium will give a boost, but it'll be temporary. That sounded like you saying the cooncil should back them!

Don't we? Again, it goes back to the (lack of) drawings. If we could see the elevations along with the lighting profiles, we'd know the answer. What if, in order to gain two meters in height across the entire South stand, we only need to buy the bottom flats in two of the buildings? What if that only cost £1M? What if that gained us three extra 500 seat full length rows? What if we could create a stepped stand which had height at the RDS end sloping down to the flat's end which gained us an extra 500 seats? I don't think you know. I don't think Tom knows. If I was in your position - as experts on the subject - I'd be absolutely dying to find out, dying to pick holes in the evidence and see if I could see something that they've missed. Even if it's just to flash yer skills on a public forum and show what they could have done better and eek out an extra couple of hunner seats. I find it strange that you're both so willing to accept the club's assurance. Especially as it's backed up by some pretty flakey history with regard to pushing the project, and some even flakier history regarding Milne's dealing with previous public land and the cooncil (i.e. he was utterly ruthless in pursuit of his own best interest/cash). It's such a huge omission, I'm surprised that you either of you feel confident in supporting the new stadium and feel comfortable making an informed decision. It's different for me like, I just have to remain suspicious because I don't have all the facts in front of me and if I did I could only defer to folks like you to put down all my suggestions.

You criticise - correctly - the no kingsford group for their spouting of rubbish, but then throw in a couple of bits or nonsense yersel just to even it up? First, the training facilities are not contingent on the stadium, they are two entirely separate things. This keeps getting used as a positive when it isn't. Second, you say that the location won't make a difference to you. That's entirely irrelevant and very typical of the general public to everything these days (I'll be fine, so point x doesn't matter). You're not looking at this as an individual (or you shouldn't be if you're a fan of the club) so whether you'll go, or it's closer to Garlogie's hoose, is not the point. You should be asking yourself if it's a good location for the football club, it's fans, and the wider city it is supposed to belong to. Do you honestly think it's the best location possible for maximum attendances in the coming decades (i.e. ignoring the initial boost from the new development)? Third, you tell the council to back Aberdeen FC because of what it does for the city? What does that even mean? Can you quantify that? If it does so much for the city, then surely moving it to the border of the shire is a terrible idea? Finally, you say you keep quiet on the issue, but then you say you're all for it and the council must back it and then criticise others (again, correctly) for the opinions. Which is it? You've either got an opinion or you don't. People like you (nae you though!) have constantly told me to "get behind the move" and then proceeded with the nonsense you just have. It's like you've barely even thought through the proposal. You've taken a "meh, I'll be fine, attitude" without really questioning the issues that'll see yer lifelong-supported club shifted from the city to which it belongs. I have no problem with that, but I do have a problem with you telling the council what they should think or do. Either have an opinion and back it up or don't bother. Indifferent, unquestioning, attitudes like yours in this case are equally as bad as those on the "no to kingsford" side. That's just my tuppence worth mind, dinna take it too seriously, I'm nae getting personal.
