Unfortunately its all up to the player and frankly the history or professional footballers when it comes to signing for clubs who are in serious financial shite but still offer them a high salary doesn't bode well.

I agree which is why I would like to see the sketch proposals for the new stadium on the site of the Broadhill bar and Driving Range resurrected but even that has serious issues with regards to modern regulations. However Aberdeen's quest to have the most flats and shopping malls per person in Europe has left little to no land in or around the city centre which is large enough to accommodate a Football Stadium. The neglected Broadford works site is the only one I can think of but even that is too small for a modern 20000 seat stadium and the road infrastruture would never get it past the planning stage. An ideal spot could have been the railway yard on which now site Union square. Redeveloping Pittodrie inline with the current planning & building regulations will drastically lower the capacity so its either that or moving out of town. The AECC site is a non starter without the Bypass and Loriston I just cant see working unless they cough up another 3million and pay to re-build the railway station at Cove (might be an option if the debt is gone) I dont know what the best option would be (redevelopment or new) but just staying at Pittodrie in its current state is a license to burn money.Personally I'd like to see a redeveloped reduced capacity pittodrie however that will require another loan from the bank and there will be no room for extension should it ever be required.

Please fuck can we not start this again. We apparently get debt free and yet the plan is to continue to spend hundreds of thousands continually repairing buildings which will eventually have parts deemed unsafe by the Fire service & HSE thereby reducing the capacity and one of the main streams of revenue?

yep

Wonder if this give more weight to the legal battle with those pricks in the city council who 'revoked' the granted planning permission for the sports village at Cove which was to include both the new training facilities and Cove Rangers new stadium? Unless of course that decision has since been overturned?

Do we dare start down the path of the difference between 'knowing' and 'believing'? This could all be put to bed if the judicial panel just came out and said what evidence they based the conviction on. 2 weeks to lodge an appeal suggests to me that Celtic's PR team are merely going through the motions. To not appeal it whilst also not sending the guy back to Brum would be seen as condoning the act. Given the racial diversity the Birmingham area I'd say his Aston Villa career could be over if the appeal fails.

Well after my time. But at least there is at least 2 'silly' gimic wrestlers left among the now standard steroided bi polar models and foxy boxing

That's Gold-dust AKA Dustin Rhodes, Son of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. The youngsters (and probably many others) have no idea who he is either

Losing the obsession with creating more shops, offices and car-parking would be where i'd start. Also sacking Willie Young from being their spokesman might be a good idea. Having all the parks in the world doesn't make up for the city centre's demise and their failure to accept the change in retail culture.

Wow this is like the early days of AFC Chat (or any internet message board for that matter). Wonder how long before we see classics such as 'my <insert relative here> has software that can track yer IP Address so when he next comes round yer dead'

Fucking hell only 150 miles from a full tank? I managed to drive a large Renault van from Glasgow to Birmingham and back for £60 worth of Diesel (just under 600miles) Take it yer driving one of these then?

Serbian FA apparently blaming the Albanians That would be the team that is joint top of the group and taken 4 points from 6 against the joint favourites? Hindsight might say games between countries that essentially on the brink of war should be played behind closed doors.

£80? How far and what are you driving? Even my old car (12 year old Honda) which I traded in last August could manage 400miles on a full tank (£55)

Perhaps omeone worked out that the money saved not having to hire extra stewards and cops is more than the money taken in by an extra 1500 tic fans?

Wales struggling against Cyprus. Really surprises me the amount of shite that has been in the press recently about a 'golden generation' Dutch currently 2-0 down to Iceland.

Poland 2-0 Germany Pretty much thrown the group wide open. Strachan and co really need to make sure its a cricket score against Gibraltar

Can we moan at the ones done by the scottish Parliament or are they untouchable? Anyway tax increases? That doesnt happen in the UK. Its all tax cuts, higher thresholds and benefits frezes apart from the Lib dems who seem to be trying to fight back (pointless as they are dead to most people till the 2020 election). We want things like the NHS, public transport, decent schools but dare to suggest we pay a bit more tax and its a lynch mob.

Its not a questions of being too ambitious. The issue was they never put down enough facts to back everything up spending way too much time attacking the no campaign instead of just getting on with things and letting facts do the talking. Their job was to convince the majority to change from the status quo and they went about it as you stated in a presidential way - we will do this and that and everything will be fantastic falling into the cynical mind trap of 'if it sounds too good to be true it probably is'. Possibly a similar reason why the Pars and Arabs told Romanov where to go.

Personally I saw the yes campaign more like the Romanov regime at Hearts or Bonetti brothers at Dundee. Promised X Y & Z and everytime someone asked 'how can you afford this' they either deflected the issue and accused the press etc of bias or made claims of mythical investment with no firm evidence to back them up. Could have been totally wrong and it would all have been milk and honey but at the same time it could have been liquidation and economic suicide. The 'NO' campaign barely had to lift a finger because the YES campaign didn't give themselves enough time to get credible evidence to do the job of convincing the majority to make a change.

Sin City 2 - Felt it started well then just faded. Walk among the tombstones - Didn't want to see it but was actually OK. Liam Neeson seems to be milking his 'hanibal' voice for as much as he can

Young Katie pressing charges?

You were away?

Out The Flat The Flat Fife Flyers vs Braehead Clan in Kirkcaldy (Part of the offical sold out away support) 0-1 and another injured player

Apologies if there is a 2014/15 thread but didn't see one in my travels Soooo Ryan Jack apparently out for a few weeks with a tear in his medial ligament. Hopefully be back in time for the Hamilton game on October 19th Anderson & Robertson hopefully also back for Hamilton Nial McGinn out for tomorrow's game and hopefully only tomorrow's game. Like to think we are getting these out of the way early but either i'm more aware of injuries now or modern footballers are getting more like racehorses
