That's Hearts folded then, 1-0 just became 3-0 to Celtic. Guess as usual it's up to us to halt this endless fecking chat of records again then.

Maybe he's playing full of confidence and settled, having decided to stay Either way, i'd rather having him play well than nae, even if it means him leaving at the end of the season (caveat - nae to Hearts).

Shankland has switched to Morton, and is up against Scott McKenna in about 5 minutes - Ayr v Morton live on Alba. Both starting in their respective sides. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/38782967

Surprised there doesn't seem to be an existing thread in this vein on this forum (apologies if there actually is and i've missed it), so thought i'd start one - always interesting to see how our young uns are doing elsewhere. CURRENT LOANS: FW Cammy Smith (on loan at St Mirren) - MOVED FROM DUNDEE UTD - END OF SEASON MF Craig Storie (on loan at St Mirren) - END OF SEASON FW Lawrence Shankland (on loan at Greenock Morton) - MOVED FROM ST MIRREN - END OF SEASON DF Scott McKenna (on loan at Ayr United) - EXTENDED TO END OF SEASON DF Daniel Harvie (on loan at Dumbarton) - EXTENDED TO END OF SEASON FW Connor McLennan (on loan at Brechin City) - ENDED GK Danny Rogers (on loan at Falkirk) - END OF SEASON GK Aaron Lennox (on loan at Raith Rovers) - INJURED - END OF SEASON MF Dylan Thomas (on loan at Montrose) - END OF SEASON FW Joe Nuttall (on loan at Stranraer) - ENDED GK Robbie Mutch (on loan at Arbroath) - ENDED Have i missed anyone? Left back Daniel Harvie just scored a 20-yard screamer for Dumbarton against Raith Rovers.

Sorry min, i only popped in at halftime

Dear SFA/SFPL, to save you money and whistles, i have created an artificial intelligence to replace Willie Collum. I have modelled it to follow his behavioural patterns as closely as possible and believe it to be a wholly accurate representation. To implement, please run the code below for the duration of the match on any mobile phone, Amstrad calculator or internet-enabled toaster and apply the output: START (match) { IF match=RUNNING THEN: { IF televised=YES THEN panic=YES IF WINNING=OPPOSITION THEN panic=YES IF depth=OUT THEN panic=YES IF panic=YES THEN redcard=YES IF redcard=YES THEN: { IF redcard=SEVCO OR redcard=CELTIC THEN panic=YES IF redcard>1 AND (previousredcard=SEVCO OR previousredcard=CELTIC) THEN redcard=OPPOSITION IF WINNING=OPPOSITION THEN redcard=OPPOSITION } } IF match=RUNNING THEN GOTO 1 } END (match)

The irony is already there: Trump's wall: Mexican construction firms likely to be biggest winners

I've just come in and seen the 2 red cards, and thought to maself "well, Collum is disgraced and down refereeing lower league games now so it can't be him" Guess i was wrong

Hemmin Niall, just sign the bloody thing - yer nae going anywhere, we winnae let you. edit - i've just realised how the title of this (old) thread may be construed, apologies to anyone i've just given a heart attack to

This was this match's choice tonight for me too

WHAT. A. GOAL. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Ach no, that was a quick pic nabbed from the BBC Food site for illustration. Mine looks much better

The concrete section of the Berlin Wall was approx. 65 miles long in total. 1962/65= 30.18 Therefore, Trump Wall = 30 Berlin Walls.

Red onions caramelised in coriander and balsamic vinegar, immense. Roast them in chunks in the oven for 30 minutes with fennel bulbs, ground coriander seeds, balsamic and some olive oil, caramelise some sugar in a frying pan, dump the onion/fennel in the sugar, chuck in a ton of grana padano or parmesan cheese, stuck some puff pastry on top, give it another 20 minutes in the oven, and it will turn into this: Tarte tatin, mitherfecker.

This, coupled with the fact that in the last few years the bar has been significantly raised for anyone looking to break into the first team. When we were shite and at the wrong end of the table, we could afford to blood lots of youth (and promptly lose the most promising to other clubs). Now we are consistently 2nd, the pressure on maintaining that position means youth players have to be up to a much higher level to take the risk on giving them game time in place of one of our regulars. The return of the reserve league would be a big step towards mitigating this. It's utterly beyond me why it went away in the first place.

I saw PMQ too, and whilst i am no fan of May, the pedant in me feels the need to point out that i can pass condolences to your friends and family for your lack of understanding of the definition of condolences, but that doesn't therefore mean that yer deid. The criticism only emerged because the DUP tried scoring points on it later on. Amazed that Corbyn didn't make more of the enormous u-turn May made over the white paper though.

I assume this is the reasoning behind Christie - McInnes has had his fingers burnt before leaving things to the last minute. I have no real complaints as long as it isn't to mitigate us losing someone other than Maddison (who i hope comes back up north anyway).

I want a 1 seater stadium with a comfy armchair and a butler. Sod the rest of you

Maybe we're getting a new left back even better than Shinnie

Yes. And welcome

The thing that generates additional revenue is additional customers, more fans. What attracts more fans is a good product. Over 20 years ago, as 2IC to then chairman Ian Donald, Stewrat Milne promised that the product should always be the priority. This is how you get a good product: - 1. Recruit a good manager 2. He recruits good players 3. Players and manager work towards success Milne has never recruited a good manager and football was never his priority. So it's no surprise that we've never been close to realising potential let alone being successful for over two whole decades now. It's like his long term agenda for relocation means he can put the product on hold and this is a lie. Delayed gratification and deferring anything resembling success on the field is not dependent primarily on the stadium. It comes with focusing on the football. (extended political tangent removed) It is not as simple as that these days. You need the facilities in order to make good money from home games. Hearts are selling out most home games but because Tynecastle is basically 3 soon to be 4 sheds or bus shelters with little hospitality facilities their turnover is far less than ours. Even when their new stand goes up, they will still have less facilities than the current Pittodrie and far less than our proposed new stadium. The opportunity to increase our revenue with this new stadium is massive and should put us ahead of the likes of the Edinburgh clubs for years I can assure you that it is as simple as more customers = more revenue. You took one line from my post. I also said that it wasn't PRIMARILY stadium-dependent. Of course improved facilities will attract more customers and everything i.e. commercial sponsorship that goes with this. But the product is all important, which was the main thrust of my post. Sorry, but i had to nest this lot so i could read the argument. Anyway, RS i get your argument that the stadium shouldn't be used as an excuse to put improvement of the team on hold in the meantime (and i also agree that the product on the pitch is the whole point of the club), but i don't think that's happening. Aberdeen as a team has improved massively in the last 5 years, as have our crowds up to a threshold. which leads to my second point of: The fans. The new stadium is quite clearly a long term plan, and i think the board have quite rightly acknowledged that there is an upper limit of how many fans Aberdeen is actually going to attract week in week out. More fans = more money, yes, but i would argue that historically the attendance figures have shown that there is a definite limit to how many folk will come and watch each week, regardless of how well the team does. This is because we are a finite population across a specific geographical area, and a fairly constant percentage of them will never come every week or, shockingly, never be interested in football at all. And before anyone mentions the League Cup final and "but where are the 45K?", i'd say that number represents something closer to the TOTAL number of fans that turn up across the weeks, plus emigrants like me that can't trek back up to Aberdeen just to watch someone kick a bit of leather and have to save it for the one-offs. If we've hit our upper limit of fans, then it seems sensible to try and generate new revenue streams, and the new stadium is quite clearly planned around that whilst accommodating our maximum weekly fanbase. Product is all-important, but i don't see any evidence that the stadium is anything but sensible for improving said product in the long term, or that it is hampering improvement in the short term. TL:DR version: fans = money AND money = product improvement BUT number fans = maximum new stadium = more money AND more money = product improvement later BUT new stadium DOESNOT = no product improvement now (this site doen't like mathematical symbols)

Great stuff Could also be taken as a bit of a positive indicator to help quell the fears of overly pessimistic fans - player decisions on extensions often rest on whether their mates are sticking around too...
