I thought the obsession with winter football is down to the SFA etc thinking it will make scottish football look weak if they follow the example of Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Ireland, Estonia, Finland, Latvia etc and it will disadvantage the OF in European competition. Russia decided to switch to winter football back in 2011 supposedly in a bid to be more competitive in the Champions & Europa leagues but as far as im aware it hasn't made much (if any) difference. CSKA Moscow (2005) & Zenit St Petersburg (2008) are the only clubs to win a european trophy (1 Europa League/ UEFA cup each + 1 super cup) and both did it while playing summer football.

Perhaps an issue with the clubs medical team?

Maybe christmas eve where you are but not here Is it still the case only cinemas are allowed to open on xmas day over there and technically you cant checkout of a hotel til boxing day? 1-0 to someone

I'd say in light of tonight's news this shit really is going to start getting real a couple of weeks earlier than thought and whilst the tories can try to blame covid, it is merely an accelerant. Clearly the pricks in power never learned about the first & second world war submarine attacks on Britain's supply ships which fortunately did not succeed but did make things very difficult for a country who relied on imports from the colonies. Least the UK still had their own industries back then. This time no need for submarines, the french, dutch & belgians just have to shut their ports for all UK ships & trucks and BOOM, the legacy of shutting down most of the UK industries since the 1980s, Selling Oil & gas reserves with little or no thought about storing any, and actively encouraging cheaper imports rather than supporting home country producers so they gradually close comes together in a perfect storm.

The Jabbos?

Slowly working through shows on netflix that were cancelled after only 2 seasons. Stuff like this gets cancelled and yet things like Kardashians, made in chelsea etc etc continue

Allardyce it is then. Diddy club English football seems to be like a village which has several small building firms, none of which can do a decent job but always seem to get work as the locals can't be bothered to do actually look for someone competent from further afield.

By no means an expert or have any real knowledge of French sport but for some reason in my head football never seemed to be a big deal in France which seemed to explain the lack of success of their clubs at European level - Only 1 Champions league and 1 Cup winners cup. The national team success came from players not applying their trade in France and for some reason I recall there being a bit of controversy in the early 90s where they adopted a policy of only choosing french based players which was potentially a reason for their failure to qualify for the 1994 world cup. That last bit is either bullshit or was a very short lived. Either way 3.25billion for a league which Ive certainly never seen advertised around the world seems so ludicrous surely someone had to say 'hold on a minute'? Will we find out later that PSG, Marseille, Lyon, & Monaco voted against it but the rest of the clubs just saw 'free cash'?

Have the dons ever signed a south american player who was actually a success or even average? Juan Cobian (Lord Lucan) David González (Up there with Bertrand Bossu and Tony Warner) Ronald Hernandez (Lord Lucan the 2nd)

Fuck sake actually declaring you will send out your own armed forces against multiple country's fishing boats?!What exactly are the Navy going to do? If they open fire on what is actually an unarmed civilian ship for taking some cod out of the North sea I believe that is actually an act of war. Following the Thatcher playbook in starting armed confilict to keep yourself in power except this time it will be due to the actions of a 10man trawler off the coast of Devon instead of the forces of a country under a Military Junta invading an overseas territory. Johnson and co trying to emulate an old family guy episode?

It would certainly increase the chances of me 'fucking off' and leaving Aberdeen FC behind. Calling it the Atlantic league is bizarre anyway given only two of the countries involved have Atlantic coastlines.

A win keeps 'the winner' in his job thereby continuing the suffering of the so called 'greatest fans in the world' The same fans that unveiled a banner stating the celtic board should be shot.

Both?

If he gets one more he will make it into the top 50, going level with Brian Irvine and Dave Warnock (according to wikipedia that is)

This prick really is dragging it out til the 12th when he can use whatever happens as part of his 1 year election 'celebration'. The desperation stink is rife but Im now resigned to this 'no deal by accident' and as there is nothing I can do about it I shall perhaps revel in a self harming element of shaudenfraude watching the tories try to gaslight the electorate, Labourites trying to play down their role in this clusterfuck, and playing a game of 'spot the person who voted to leave who had absolutely no idea what it would result in' as the supermarket shelves run out of all the things I never buy. Perhaps the obesity crisis will sort itself out?

AUSTRIA (H) 25 MAR (THURSDAY) ISRAEL (A) 28 MAR (SUNDAY) FAROE ISLANDS (H) 31 MAR (WEDNESDAY) DENMARK (A) 1 SEPT (WEDNESDAY) MOLDOVA (H) 4 SEPT (SATURDAY) AUSTRIA (A) 7 SEPT (THURSDAY) ISRAEL (H) 9 OCT (SATURDAY) FAROE ISLANDS (A) 12 OCT (TUESDAY) MOLDOVA (A) 12 NOV (FRIDAY) DENMARK (H) 15 NOV (MONDAY) 2 home saturday games. Hopefully the last game will be to decide the group winner and runner up........

Israel this generations version of Estonia...or did it just seem like they were always in Scotland's group in the 90s?

Tic making heavy work of Saints. Im past caring about this season as much like Irvine Welsh I find watching games without fans on TV really tedious so resort to checking scores and the occasional 'live text' to get my ceefax/ teletext nostalgia fix. But when either of the OF are suffering its always a laugh.

25 (12 on target) according to the BBC Dons managed 9 (2 on target)

Well done the Kaiser for saving the draw

-60C ergo yer in the antarctic

You filming a remake of 'the Thing'?

He did which got a very short chuckle/ cheer from the 'greatest fans in the world' but that quickly turned to a sea of BOOs when the next chorus of 'Lennon Get Ta Fuck' started. Seem to recall a few Tic fans complaining they coudlnt hear what he said in the end.
