  2. sooo we won then? Shoot me down if you must but has the dons problems over the last few seasons been mainly the amount of goals they conceded or more the inability to hit a cow's arse with a Banjo? 2012-13 Goals Scored 41 (3rd worst attack only ahead of Hearts & Dundee) Goals Conceded 43 (2nd best defence in league behind Celtic) Finished 8th 2013-14 Goals Scored 53 (4th best attack behind Celtic, Arabs and Motherwell) Goals Conceided 38 (2nd Best defence in league behind Celtic) Finished 3rd Langfield has been consistent yet seems to be the first in the line of fire every season. It would appear this year is going to be the same
  3. Mcghee in the commentary box is really starting to irritate me
  4. Also apparently Barrs are sponsoring the games so its Irn Bru or Barrs cola only at the refreshment stands. No Coca Cola etc I hope they haven't sold seats for the very front row as you wont be able to see over the advertising hoardings plus I wonder how many seats have either been lost or perhaps sold with restricted views because of those extra scoreboards and camera positions
  5. Its the free stuff that concerns me. Free at the moment but will it still be free in an independent Scotland under the current tax levels? I am all for free healthcare and education but only when it isn't impacting on other elements. Does our free prescriptions come at a cost of several nurses, paramedics, hospital equipment, Special treatments etc? Does our free education come at the cost of research facilities, qualified tutors/ guest lecturers or even apprenticeships for those who don't want to go to uni? I keep seeing comparisons to Norway but they never seem to mention the basic income tax rate there is 28% compared to 20% in the UK. If losing another 8% of my income results in a better health, transport, & education systems then I'm all for it but if we are to spend the next X number of years ploughing on with the same system minus whatever money comes from Westminster then no thank you. Of course saying 'we will raise taxes' in your manifesto is up there with saying we 'we will kill your first born child' but a bit of honesty and signs of a thought process would be a nice change.
  6. 400 odd miles north to 'another country' for 5 months or 60miles north east to another county for 5 months? If it was a permanent move perhaps but for 5months? I can easily see why he wouldn't come north and labelling him a fud for it is a bit unfair id say. Plus personally unless we take a 4 goal lead back to Holland I'm keeping my mouth shut about the whole 'european football' malarky
  7. Could it perhaps be down to having little or no faith in those who currently 'govern' this country with devolved powers? PS Im still undecided
  8. Have to wonder if theres a Dutch newspaper running a similar article saying how lucky Gronigen are that Vernon, Zola and McGennis have moved on.
  9. Can't help it if the dutch team only allocates 1100 tickets. Interesting to see how many tickets they have been allocated for next Thursday.
  10. tad pissed off the BBC cant send someone on Ryanair out to Riga to at least do text updates and yet they can send an entire film crew and no doubt a full radio commentary team up to Reykjavik. Only radio coverage is apparently 'updates on Radio Scotland news' 530pm uk time KO Jager
  11. Bored of it now. Suspect the tax man will never win in this. Should they appeal and win the murray etc would appeal that and so on and so on. Feel its time to take positives from this debacle Punted them to the lower leagues for a few years Only thing they won is league titles against teams of part timers who got to kick lumps out of them in the process. (Made all the more funny given their fans and the media were talking about winning quadruples) Spectre of administration still hanging over them Fans at war with the people in charge Got a good few years of gentle burning to come too.
  12. Died at 415pm this afternoon 88 years old Managed to play international football for Spain, Columbia and Argentina
  13. Thats 4 penalties I can remember being missed since the turn of the year (McGinn, Vernon and Robson x 2). Luckily the 5 in March all went in.
  14. 4-0 Hayes One of the Ruga Coaches sent to the stand
  15. 3-0 Rooney (penalty) Riga down to 10 men
  16. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/aberdeen/281479-stv-score-centre-aberdeen-v-daugava-riga-live-updates/ not great but gives you something
  17. 1-0 Dons - Logan (for MBT) Robson missed a penalty earlier
  18. Fucksake. How many penalties have we missed in the last few seasons? Have they all forgotten how to do it since the cup final?
