  1. supposedly theres big problem at tynecastle and there is now a 10000 capacity cap for todays games due to burst pipes. Part if not all of the roseburn stand has been closed with fans to be moved to the main or wheatfield
  2. Its not the deletion of emails that is the issue Its that thay can and generally always will be hi-jacked by other people. No doubt there will be numerous posts by a certain mr Durrant, the wombles, the tweenies, Milnes wig.....
  3. Better idea Get a proper petition together and stand outside pittdrie or whatever away ground the dons are playing it getting actual signatures from the fans. Online petitions are about as effective as facebook campaigns where all you have to do is change your profile picture
  4. See Berti Vogts, walter smith, Alex mcleish, George Burley, craig levein and every future scotland manager
  5. Might have misheard but this seems to contradict the motherwell statement read out on sportsound on Tuesday night
  6. All look a bit stupid if hes just decided to quit motherwell and put his feet up

    Whilst fortunate as I was today to be sent to Kilmarnock instead of Larkhall like my colleague there were a few moments I thought 'not really sure about this' Only one of those was me losing concentration. The rest were all caused by the actions of others. The fact there was an article on the BBC newswebsite giving instructions how to drive in the snow says alot for our society. People will still carry on driving as if there is no change to the conditions then get angry when theres an accident. The woman whose car I helped push out today just did not understand that more power when your tyres have no grip will only make the situation worse and if by chance you do suddenly get grip you will lurch out of control. Then to actually stop in another patch of black ice and suggest we had possibly damaged her car because she was sliding about is worrying. The people who were overtaking at random intervals at speeds over 50mph through slush so deep it scraped the bottom of your car and actually tailgating those infront of them. The 10 car lengths rule that was drilled into my head only applies to certain people apparently. And of course the classic lack of headlights (silver or grey cars still seem to be the worst offenders) in blizzard or fog. It is genuinly scary how stupid or unaware of the consequences of their own actions people are. Always someone elses fault when they fuck things up. Anyway the issue with the transport infrastructure is a classic example of rival politics. I genuinly believe rival parties will cancel the others policies the second they get into power just to piss them off. The Edinburgh trams springs to mind especially because the glasgow rail connection was cancelled to help fund them and now there are even rumours they will just cancel the whole project. People can accuse me of west coast or northern bias because I dont live in the capital but I cannot see any justification for them. Edinburgh has very decent bus service and the airport is next to a fucking railway so 10million could have built a spur and a bog standard station and walkway like at Prestwick. This could also have been done at Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness all for less than the fucking trams. The A9, A96, M8, A82 and probably numerous other roads all need major upgrading. I think most if not all of the A9 could have been made dual carriageway for the current cost of the tram works. Then there are the trains. The stupid single line between inverness and Pitlochry so there are only 4 trains a day from inverness to glasgow and inverness to edinburgh. I beginning to think transport should be banned from election manifestos. it should be something that all parties just agree and can only change if everyone agrees it needs to (lack of funds etc). That way it ends scenarios like the SNP's 'edinburgh gets trams, inverness, Glasgow, Aberdeen, dundee lose their new roads, rail links etc the moment they are elected.

    Certainly did. As did several hundred other people We also showed first bus and scotrail! A special mention to the partick WAG whose mercedes myself and 2 other guys eventually shoved out of the ice hole she had dug for herself. After finally getting it moving she drive about 30yards and then half pulled into another iced section, got out and asked if we had somehow jammed the bits of wood we used to lever her out under her car because she was 'all over the place'. Our response of 'thats because the road is icey' wasnt taken too well
  10. Colorado Avalanche vs Minnesota wild was like an oven compared to the games being talked about here Ya big jessie

    Told by people in Kilmarnock that I would never get home and I should check into a hotel. Left kilie at 315pm and got back to the office at 440pm. Tad slower and a few muppets who dont understand the concept of 'deep slush = your brakes dont work above 15mph' but no big issues However I appeared to be the only person driving IN to glasgow when I took the drumbrek slip road. If yer in Braehead or partick then good luck getting on the M77 via the clyde tunnel. traffic is still queing outside the office at partick station
  12. Scotland vs Faroe Islands at Pittodrie back in 1998 Had a seat at the very back row of section Y next to the floodlights. Seat was actually behind the back of the roof which created a freezing wind tunnel. Luckily a few people in front of me went home due to boredom so i was able to move further down the stand midway through the second half. Scottish cup tie at Alloa 2 seasons back. Driving rain, howling wind and stood on an exposed grassy bank
  13. Only when Mcleish was still about. Is it a coincidence we nose-dived from 2nd to 2nd bottom the first season Mcleish left for motherwell?
  14. New stadium you can deal with when competitve but that debt you cannot. Can win as many champions league trophies as you like but if the bank decide they want their 10million back and you cant pay it then there is no aberdeen football club. The penny pinching strategy has been going on since the Aitken left. In that time we've had both good and bad seasons. it hasnt failed horrifically nor has it succeded spectacularly. Are honestly actually suggesting the club do down the way of hearts and start increasing the debt just because we've had 2 shit seasons? Change yes, financial suicide no

    Anyone know what the roads between glasgow and coatbridge/ Airdrie have been like? Supposed to be surveying 4 buildings tomorrow and I fear the boss will cancel them.

    Also sick of the tubes who dont put theair headlights in heavy snow Live next to a busy road and it appears that the main culprits are those who drive silver or white cars.
  19. If they get an Israeli ref id day its guaranteed
  20. In/Oot: Oot Pre match: Gym then Work doing projects the directors dont think are a priority but are weighing on my conscience Match: Open all mikes in the office Post match: Probably still the office Prediction: Game postponed either due to snow or no officials
  21. http://video.uk.msn.com/browse/news/week-in-video?videoId=ca8afb2a-04da-4932-b8a4-6100e869a1ef&from=sharepermalink A sign of things to come from our strikers?
