  1. Why wouldnt we have got a fee for him? His prime (which I missed) was before the bosman rule and Parma werent sniffing about when he was under contract in 1996 and went to Coventry for £1.5million. Considering we paid about £600k to have him back a year later it would have probably been better for both teams if Strachan & Coventry had just given us £900k out of the goodness of their hearts. I wonder how much we will be paying Strachan and Co to take lee miller back in janaury?
  2. So did he finally reveal the moment he reached his full potential? was it being relegated with Bradford? Notts forest? or helping get Northampton to 3rd division football
  3. you mean there was more than 2 of them?
  4. 2 players sent off in the space of 3mins before half an hour had been played. one of those reds resulted in a penalty and the floodgates opened
  5. typical old firm fan then. Only loyal to the team that wins the league that season
  6. Just to say the period for public representations expired on the 9th. Being cynical Im presuming Aberdeen city council much like edinburgh do not publish these representations (cant believe there havent been comments/ objections) so we will have to wait and see what the press (or donstalk contacts) dig up. Not holding my breath for a quick decision considering we have been waiting 3months for another council's planning dept to make a decision on a small shop extension because of one councilor using his 'friends' in other departments to delay the planning officer. No doubt there will be other people who have friends within Aberdeen city council who want the land for something else.
  7. 4-3 falkirk!
  8. Jamie Langfield
  9. Lets see now 7points Scored 7 (4 in one game) Conceided 5 this time last season 8points scored 5 (3 in one game) Conceided 3 Perhaps if we are still in the cup on Thursday morning we can say its a slight improvement?
  10. 1-0 Kilmarnock Sounds like they have had celtic pinned back the entire first 14mins.

  12. if thats based on experience you must know some pig ignorant people.
  13. we playing against our first team?
  14. Just seen the 'highlights' (note they didnt include our chance in the first minute or Uniteds dis-allowed goal....but hey they werent worthy of seeing again) I trust Mcghee will be retracking his claim of Howard being 'distracted' because of a foul. Only distraction was Howard decided the best way to catch a cross was to get a piggyback from an unsuspecting Iffel.
  15. The chance for the 1st was created on the left wing. One pass and a huge gap opened up because our 4 centre backs were too busy doing nothing in the centre. Quick side step, shoot, block, falls to united striker and goal The second once. As I recall it came from a corner won from an almost identical conter attack down our left wing. The 3rd. Well bugger me, an attack on our left wing and the boy goes down at the edge of the penalty area.
  16. BBC have out 5-3 win as this weeks classic match http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8986085.stm
  17. watching traffic chaos and crowds forming in a vain hope to see someone shot from the office in Partick.
  18. oh niki your so fine, your so fine you blow our minds, hey niki?
  19. Fair enough but does a fine still apply if you decide to get of at the first stop or infact any stop on the way for which the actual fare would cost less than your discounted ticket? silly question probably. 'Sorry sir, i dont care if you paid £20 for your ticket, you cannot pass until you pay me the £3.60 it actually cost for you to come here'
  20. I heard this on the radio. However the statement the train company gave the BBC was weak to say the least. 'we dont think its fair that they should get the discounted rate through megatrain whilst others have paid full price' They forgot to mention their terms and conditions dont actually say you cannot leave the train early. Instead they put the phrase 'you cannot break your journey'. A phrase which I see as 'you cant get off the train, hang about a bit and then get on the next one to complete the ride'. They apparently see it as 'you cant get off the train early without paying a fine'. Open to interpretation you see. If the terms and conditions said 'you can only leave the train at the stations stated on the ticket' then this whole mess is cleared up but their legal department woudl have a shitfit if Rail company bosses tried to implement that. A complete legal minefield over the terms or restricting the movement of the public would arise. Im awaiting the case of 'mum' or 'dad' getting off train early because their child is suddenly taken ill or they receive bad news on the mobile and have to turnaround. I for one would absolutely love to see little station guard telling aggitated parent they cant leave the station till they cough up the money. Of course it doesnt say 'except in exceptional circumstances' anywhere in the terms and conditions. Im actually pissed off there people paid the fine. Take the case to court because even the most inept lawyer would destroy the Railways case and for a laugh stick an illegal imprisonment charge on them. Yahoos picked it up so i reckon the Daily Mail and the redtops will have it in the next few days. Their little glut of 'get as many stories about dogs attacking kids as possible' is running dry so the old debate as to how rail companies can justify charging up to £300 for say a single between Aberdeen & Glasgow (yes it is possible) will kick off once again and when the dust settle I bet yon english couple with have had their fines refunded as a 'goodwill gesture' One question I want answered would the couple have had pay a fine if they had suddenly decided 'fuck it, lets get off at the first station (Clapham Junction), turnaround and go home?' If not at what point on the journey do they start dealing out the fines?
  21. Derby really must be a shit hole if they were happy about that
  22. I presume they want him to plug a gap in the middle? Surely theres a difference between giving a 10month work permit and a 2-3 year one? Give him a working holiday visa
  23. So does this mean yon lithuanian cant play against them?
  24. 3-0 utrecht
