Decent(ish) piece on Channel 4 dispatches tonight. Not a big fan of the presenter, he doesn't generally ask the right questions, and always seems a little dumbed down with gimmicky shite for stupid people (badges this week). Anyway, covered the obvious elephant in the room for those that think that Trump will "gut the establishment", by delving into his political cronies that he's appointed to his cabinet. Fuck me, it's a cabal of utter cunts. Impressive like.

We don't need a new stadium. That's a myth. A spectacular one propagated over 20 years with little evidence to back it up. It's the fitba equivalent of "we need to balance the books" shite told by the government (UK). I'm a nae-sayer, and you cunts can shove yer pish stadium that isn't in fucking Aberdeen up yer collective hoops. Fuck yer Westhill FC pish. It's just fuckin Homebase, or Ikea of the fitba world. For losers and dicks. I'm going to hide a fash behind the radiator in each of the new corporate boxes.

It's dons legend Chris Antoniazzi. Obviously.

Haven't been in years. Was quite good last time I was there over a decade ago.

To be fair, I'm not sure he/she mentioned voting for anyone. There was very little (apart from the weird first paragraph) in the diatribe that wasn't correct too. Trump is a dick, a narcissist, nepotist and utter scumbag, a complete cunt. But every single point he/she makes (apart from the weird second paragraph) is correct. Buzzfeed have shown themselves to be just as bad as Trump in their use of the story (not so much CNN, but they crossed an ethical line). If this is politics grinding Trump down, then they're making a total cunt of it. As far as I can see, their shite attempt - once again - to smear him has backfired spectacularly and will probably make him more popular. Trump exists cause of this shite. He exists because we've spent that last 20 years accepting this sort of shite journalism as our main source of information. He exists because our journalists have stopped asking questions, and politicians have stopped even attempting to answer them - the same as Nigel Farage in this country, and the Tory party, and Jezza Corbyn for that matter. The BBC, CNN and the vast majority of the mainstream press (god only knows what's happened to the guardian in the last year, and the times is awful) have pursued the easy stories and allowed our politicians just to make shite up, and then deflect on a daily basis. They've ignored the big issues and allowed vested interests to steer public debate into narrow channels setting an easy emotional agenda. They're not setting the agenda, they're not tackling the economics of the world and they're not educating the population. Otherwise MadMax would know that Donald Trump is a cunt, and that he's not anti-establishment, and that he doesn't give a fuck about American jobs (whatever the fuck that means). Anyway, welcome aboard MadMax, hope you come back on and entertain with some beezers like yer first een.

There's a lot of mintal fucks still like him though. Give him a few months in charge and wait for him to fuck a few things up first. Then shoot him. Not a fatal shot though. just enough to make him piss himself. Then take a photo and post it online. That's the only sure-fire way to bring him down.

I think he's basically saying that Jack is good enough to do better and a player of his ability shouldn't still be here in 3 years time. It shows he's as disappointed with Jack's progress as the rest of us but that it isn't too late for him to turn it round. I'd agree. He's right, our players have got to want something bigger and better and Aberdeen should be seen as a stepping stone to better things. That's a good standard to set. Hopefully Jack will respond to it. I think he will.

Good interview. On-the-pitch decisions aside, he's a pretty shrewd operator. Really interested by his comments about Jack. Setting the bar high for him, and making him understand that he's no longer the young player with superstar potential. Making him work on the dons' terms. Good stuff. Putting pressure, and a bit of psychological influence, onto the guys looking for a move as if to say: don't sell yourselves short for any old move, get the right one - by implication, Cardiff and Hearts are not those moves.

It's completely unverified work, as admitted by those media. The notion that the CIA or FBI should be trusted to not make shite up should have gone out the window a long time ago. The journalists should simply do their job and work on verifying the story, not printing any old shite just because it happened to come from a government agency. Did Iraq not teach these cunts anything? The rules of journalism haven't changed. You get a story, you verify that its true, you print it. It's the political equivalent of Yerda Selsavon signing for the dons. It's fucking unacceptable to print a story about how there might be a story. If you're a fucking journalist then you investigate and investigate until you find the truth.

Jesus, can you nae work the internet like... https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-deep-ties-to-russia?utm_term=.tp70Kr2xj#.pkYvaNk1B Edit: that was to Manc

This. It just isn't worth the money to accept anything less. He'll still have a year left in the summer and given his consistency, that sort of offer - or not far off - will definitely come back in if a team is serious about signing him. The board have to understand the importance of second place to the dons this season. It is absolutely vital. Our season ticket sales will tank if the scum 1,2 is resolved. People will lose interest so quickly as we're shunted out of the picture (like we almost are currently). Coupled with the huge negative effect it will have on der hun, £500K or so (the difference between selling Johnny now and in the summer) just won't cover it. The long term effects of the hun becoming the second best team in the country every year again could be devastating for a team like the dons, and I don't believe we can finish second without Hayes - he's that important. It's worrying that McInnes is even acknowledging the bid, it's almost a "we're open for business" type moment.

More worrying is who they were made up by. Fucked up shit like. Printed by a compliant media. I suspect Buzzfeed will print any shite, but CNN and the like are clearly corrupted. Excellent to here from Glen Greenwald on both channel 4 and bbc tonight. The Trump bad, non-Trump good viewpoint of the interviewers was absurd. Neither Snow or Maitlis (think it was her) could get to grips with the fact that Trump is a dick but that doesn't justify making up news, and that Clintons leaked emails were exactly that - factual, leaked emails.

I've been staring at my bike tyres fro about 3 months now, deciding whether to pump them up or not. They're entirely flat and I can't ride the bike because of it. It's a dilemma.

He's piss. Nobody will pay a few grand for him. If there was intent to get Tansey however, a swap deal could probably be agreed. Although that'd be like swapping Jeffrey Monakana for Donervan Daniels.

Sibbald isn't good enough from what I've seen. Decent skills, nice player, but very much a Higginbotham type. Not quite good enough for the top level but likely to score against you. Burns is probably better.

The bench will be pleased.

Slow cooking a loin is controversial. How did it turn out?

We have a few players in the later stages of their contracts (plus Hayes, who's just been consistently very good for a long time now). It's easy to blame the press, but I suspect the agents of said players (McGinn, Considine etc) have a hand to play in this. I think the press will find it easier to splash rumours about us though, and given the opportunity they will, however given that there is a summer break, everything should be settled down by the time we get back to actual games.

Nonsense, I'd kill for a selfie shooting someone.

Aye, I ken. Grief-wankers like. They can get fucked. The boy was probably a tool. The police weren't wearing cameras. That seemed strange to me. The swat team should never be called out without them. Unless they wanted to kill someone of course, then it's much better for you to leave yer camera at hame.

The police are trained not to shoot people who don't have a firearm pointing at them. It's pretty easy. If the guy isn't holding a gun, don't shoot him in the face.

Aye, that wis my point. He's (Oliver) basically saying it's a disgrace that kids are tricked into eating shite food whilst he tricks adults into eating in a restaurant on the pretense that it follows his values and passion for food. I have no problem with Ramsay, as he's just a spineless weasel cunt who happens to be an excellent chef whose food does the talking. He doesn't pretend to be morally perfect when it comes to food and food values. Oliver doesn't need the money earned by his restaurants, he just didn't need to put his name to something substandard both in quality and it's values - he should set himself higher standards, as he's perfectly capable of doing so.

He's okay.

I was in the lispy cunt's dons restaurant a few months after it opened (work thing, didn't get a choice). Was pish. Was in last year - taken by a client - afore a dons game. Was vastly improved. Still not amazing. Have a mate (of a mate) who's a chef and worked in one in the central belt and said he was just heating up shite that was sent up from one of the other branches. I, like Rocket, quite like Jamie Oliver because he seems to want to the right thing with regard to kids meals and shite and is very passionate about it and his food. His restaurants are the complete antithesis of this though and make me think that he might be charlatan cunt that'll do anything for money. As I say though, the Aberdeen one has improved, so perhaps he became more involved. His knives are shite too though, which make me think he's a charlatan cunt again. It's confusing. He puts his name to so much shite for money that it's difficult to take him seriously on the real issues. He needs a quality checker to look through his investments. It shouldn't be about the money at his level.

Cheaper cuts of tatties?
