Thanks, I'll finally be able to sleep now 👍

I think 3 would probably be enough to not have to worry what anyone else is doing but would defo prefer 4.

That should be it fixed - it will update automatically over the next hour or so. 👍🏻

Current competition for 3 seeded places are; Montrose (+5 GD and playing Spartans at home) St Mirren (+9 GD and playing Dunfermline at home) Ayr (+5 and playing Alloa at home) Looks like Montrose and Ayr could rack up a few goals and St Mirren have a tougher game but are already 3 ahead of our +6 GD. Definitely going to need to stick at least 4 past Kelty without reply I suspect.

Couple of Queens fans I know said he got slapped a couple of times by older folk at the back of the terracing before he was led out.

Will Helsinki not have papped them out by then?

Most folk I know are never even in a ground 30 minutes before kick off. Now fine if I could go in and have a beer then saunter round to the RedShed at half two. I get it's a step in the right direction but I know a lot of folk who will drink in the golf clubs until five to three then wander over.

Although there is a point that it's possible to just have the athletic abilities in Scottish football and be successful. Olusanya, for example. It makes it hard for young players coming through. Guys like Lobban, Marshall, Stewart etc (I'd say Milne, too) have clearly worked hard on the technical side of the game, but there is no avenue for them to work on the physical side in our first team. The opposite is not true, where if you're physically good, you can get plenty of game time despite not having worked at the technical side to the same degree.

Haha, thanks for giving me a laugh you guys- especially you Mason. In reality, I'm a very lonely person and hardly sociable, so as silly as it sounds I wanted to befriend him but my lack of interaction with people let me down and I never did. It's all good though, one day I'll be watching the hell on the final day of the season go down with all the friends I'll try to make at pre-season games.

It's been changed because the site is bigger and better than before.

There's a typo in the forum title metadata, it's triggering my innate OCD in a massively disproportionate way every time I notice it. Sort it out mods.

It's not though. He's saying you need more than technical ability, not that technical players aren't going to cut it here. All the best players are brilliant with the ball at their feet, but they can also handle themselves as well. Go watch some of the tackles Sergio Ramos used to put in on Messi. Milanovic was pulling out of 50/50s with folk the same size as him.

Tony Bloom's spreadsheet disnae lie 🤔

Hearts have spent nearly a million pounds on a player from the English National League (Conference in old money).

It also sums up exactly what is wrong with Scottish football. Until that changes, the national team and our clubs in Europe will never achieve anything.

Our match against Motherwell on 22 August could be postponed if Motherwell are still in Europe. They have the power to postpone the match to help them progress in Europe.

This weekend during the Scottish League Cup matches, we will be testing our brand new Matchday Centre app on DonsTalk. The match centre will have the Aberdeen FC matchday thread at the top and live updating scores across the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Championship and Cup competitions. The page will be updated every 30 seconds with the latest scores. It will (or should!) highlight when a score has been updated with a pulsing highlight effect and Goal Update badge. A new Match Centre menu has been added to the forum This is a test to see if it works before launching for the season ahead. Feel free to provide feedback from the matches this weekend (Saturday 25 July 2026) below. If it all works it will go live proper for the opening Premiership matches next weekend.

Good to get that one over the line. Still a few more outs to go, hoping Palaversa will be next as he's defo on a decent wage that would be very good to free up.

Since most of it is filmed in Glasgow, Weegie Cesspit would be a more fitting title for the show.

Good stuff, another absolute dud off the books. Wish him well, but nowhere near it in this league. Robinson’s comment above on him summed it up (& pretty much every signing made last year) "Scottish football is hard to play in, you need more than a technical ability, you have to have the fight and you have to have the drive and you have to be able to cope in Scotland’”. He couldn’t, none of last years lot could tbh - that’s been the biggest problem…
