  1. The dons did beat Queen of the South back in 2012 thanks to an injury time Considine header.
  2. Personally given what I have seen since I started following the Dons I am not surprised by this result but I hope it brings those players back to earth with a serious bang. Considering going to the replay since it will be on my way home from work.....unless of course it is all ticket and my lack of points rules me out (or the club don't want 'the Jonah' to attend)
  3. Everyone's favourite Binman just seen his team knocked out of the cup by their Junior near neighbours Since start of December Ayr have only taken 3 points from a possible 15 and now out of the cup.
  4. Going by how long its taken to get this far it could have been 'Do what you like with the stadium but for fuck sake make sure you have lots of flats which will help spread the web of unaffordability further beyond Luton. Back in the 90s they were talking about a stadium with a retractable roof.
  5. Stage 3 Building Warrant - Timber Kit Approved back in November Stage 2 Building Warrant - M&E still ongoing An amendment to the stage 1 building warrant has now been submitted making changes to the foundations, drainage & superstructure I know you are all gripped by this update but for some relief Luton Town finally got planning approval for a new stadium (First time I heard that being discussed was in the mid 1990s) This is what they are going for more pics and details here http://stadiumdb.com/designs/eng/power_court_luton
  6. They said that about Derby County but he knocked it back. Haven't been paying too much attention but last time I looked Forest's finances and off field set up looked in a similar league to Sevco's.
  7. Me too 36 years old now and only 4 goals in 1.5 seasons. Also seems to have a issue with one (or both) of his ankles which has meant he missed large parts of a couple of seasons (more recently last season). Livingston, Hamilton & Kilmarnocks Plastic pitches will love that The key will be how well he has adapted his game for the loss of pace that comes with age. Memories of a 33 year old Freddy Ljungberg at Celtic spring to mind
  8. 1 goal in 17 games suddenly equals Million+ signing for a team who 4months ago were on the brink of Administration. English football at its finest
  9. Do you spell Glasgow with a D? Or are you suggesting a rigourous bought of pulling your underwear up your crack?
  10. Id suggest replacing Ian Botham with Don Bradman I also question having Hamilton instead of Senna or Schumacher
  11. Wonder if they will still insist on all games being played at Hampden?
  12. Group A England Czech Republic Bulgaria Montenegro Kosovo Group B Portugal Ukraine Serbia Lithuania Luxembourg Group C Netherlands Germany Northern Ireland Estonia Belarus Group D Switzerland Denmark Republic of Ireland Georgia Gibraltar Group E Croatia Wales Slovakia Hungary Azerbaijan Group F Spain Sweden Norway Romania Faroe Islands Malta Group G Poland Austria Israel Slovenia FYR Macedonia Latvia Group H France Iceland Turkey Albania Moldova Andorra Group I Belgium Russia Scotland Cyprus Kazakstan San Marino Group J Italy Bosnia & Hercegovinia Finland Greece Armenia Liechtenstein
  13. Two Boca Players in hospital, one with shattered glass in his eyes. My reckoning is the game will be postponed and if so may lead to Boca demanding River get thrown out of the competition given a precedent was set a few years back when Boca fans attacked River players. Good luck to the local cops if the game is cancelled as the stadium is already packed
  14. Telepathic negativity from around the world. Dons Support is full of Damiens
  15. at the risk of even being slightly positive, at least the traditional 'horsing' following a decent run has come this week and not on cup final day.
  16. So the final league standings and actual qualificaiton pots are as follows: (Teams in Bold are host nations and as a result only 2 are allowed per group. Teams in Italics are guaranteed play off semi final spots) Nations League Finals Pot: Top spot in Groups A-D (Max 5 teams in their group) 1. Switzerland 2. Portugal 3. Netherlands 4. England Pot 1: Top Spots in Groups E-J. Group E will only have 5 teams 5. Belgium 6. France 7. Spain 8. Italy 9. Croatia 10. Poland ------------------------------------------------------- Pot 2 11. Germany 12. Iceland 13. Bosnia & Herzegovina 14. Ukraine 15. Denmark 16. Sweden 17. Russia 18. Austria 19. Wales 20. Czech Republic ------------------------------------------------------ Pot 3 21. Slovakia 22. Turkey 23. Republic of Ireland 24. Northern Ireland 25. Scotland 26. Norway 27. Serbia 28. Finland 29. Bulgaria 30. Israel ------------------------------------------------------ Pot 4 31. Hungary 32. Romania 33. Greece 34. Albania 35. Montenegro 36. Cyprus 37. Estonia 38. Slovenia 39. Lithuania 40.

San Marino Ideal Group for Scotland IMO Poland Czech Republic Scotland Estonia Gibraltar San Marino
  17. No one will now the playoff draw until the actual qualification campaigns are completed. If any team that won their nations league group qualifies then their playoff slot is passed to another team which will depend on the overall rankings. Then I think it is a case of there being play off 'semi finals' (8 teams from the nations league playing each other in a 1 off game to get the last 4 playoff spots Draw for actual qualification is on December 2nd Under the Rules because we are a host nation Scotland can only have one of these teams in their main qualifying group Azerbaijan Denmark England Germany Hungary Italy Netherlands Republic of Ireland Romania Russia Spain
  18. A Groups Winners (and potential Nations League Champions): England, Portugal, Switzerland, Netherlands Relagated to B Groups: Croatia, Poland, Iceland, Germany Finals will be held in Portugal next June B Groups Promoted to A Groups: Ukraine, Denmark, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Sweden Relegated to C Groups: Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Turkey, Slovakia C Groups Promoted to B Groups: Finland, Norway, Scotland, Serbia Relegated to D Groups: Slovenia, Lithuania, Estonia, Cyprus D Groups Promoted to C Groups: Georgia, Belarus, Kosovo, Macedonia All promoted teams guaranteed a playoff sport for 2020 finals

  20. So with this 'experiment' due to conclude by the end of this week the current state of play is as follows A Groups Winners (and potential Nations League Champions): England, Portugal, Switzerland Relagated to B Groups: Croatia, Poland, Iceland, Germany Dutch will win their group if they don't lose to the Germans (Better Head 2 head record against the French) Finals will be held in Portugal next June B Groups Promoted to A Groups: Ukraine, Denmark, Bosnia-Hercegovina Relegated to C Groups: Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Turkey, Sweden will win their group of they beat the Russians at home Slovakia play the Czechs to decide who gets relegated. C Groups Promoted to B Groups: Finland, and 3 from Scotland, Israel, Norway, Bulgaria, Serbia or Romania Relegated to D Groups: Slovenia, Lithuania, Estonia Albania will avoid relegation if either Montenegro or Cyprus fail to win D Groups Promoted to C Groups: Georgia, Belarus, and 2 from Kosovo, Azerbajin, Macedonia, Armenia
  21. Is it too much to hope this clusterfuck will actually bring about the destruction of the tory party and perhaps even kick out a few keystones in the control the privately educated moron class has on the UK?
  22. As I suspected it was a passing phase so I've given up on the control pad malarky However I did pick up an RS-97 handheld with 3000 odd retro games on it (chinese knock off which came with British airways headphones). Cost about £50 and been a decent purchase so far and helped me get over my childhood longing to own a Neo-geo console. Just wish it had an N64 emulator but no doubt there will be a knockoff handheld one of them somewhere down the line
  23. Perhaps I'm weird but everytime these stories about breakaway leagues emerge I wonder what is going through the minds of the creators. It can be tedious going to Kilmarnock, Dundee etc 2-3 times every season but at least there is a decent chance of me going and every so often a 'new' team appears in the league plus the chance each season of a cup trip to a lower league stadium. Should it ever come to pass that the Dons were to only play teams from mainland Europe (no promotion etc) the novelty would wear off very quick for me as essentially away fans would be removed and any sense of 'rivalry' would be fleeting IMO. My delight at seeing the failure of certain scottish teams would never be replicated with scandinavians/ Dutchies etc. I'm pissed off with the current stand off between La Liga and the spanish FA over the prospect of playing actual league games in the USA akin to the showpiece NFL games at Wembley and currenly the NHL games in Finland. Watched the NHL match last night (Florida vs Winnipeg in Helsiniki) and the asmosphere was flat, essentially a preseason friendly crowd compared to the more 'tense' feeling you get when the matches are played in north america. For me, without a decent atmosphere ALL professional sports events may as well be a kids 5 a side football birthday party.
