https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-46010613 The wonder of 'sunday services' Be interested to know how many tic fans were on the bandwagon slagging off Dons (and initially Hearts) supporters for complaining about poor public transport links to the semi-finals

Going to game from centre of Glasgow
tom_widdows replied to Jarviecombover's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
In my experience there is segregation at Central station with Dons fans put onto trains for Kings Park and the Blue meanies put on trains to Mount Florida. If you get a taxi chances are you will get dropped off at the mount florida (sevco end) and have to walk through them so if you do choose that method ask the driver to take you to the toryglen side of Hampden. Getting back I would go for the Kings park train back to Hampden as taxis, buses etc will be in gridlock -
Stage 3 Building Warrant Registered - Timber kit elements (outbuildings etc) Stage 2 warrant still ongoing. I see the Judicial review is due to start on 8th november with the 2nd part kicking off on the 19th December (Bet the council love that last date)

Does anyone use a USB game controller to play games through emulators on their Laptop/PC and if so could you recommend one? I purchased a USB n64 pad from amazon but it was faulty so I had to send it back and since discovered said pad was not the most reliable product but various others don't seem to have the best reviews either. Wandered about pc world today and bizarrely the non x-box/playstation etc pads (logitech etc) don't seem to be set up for windows 10 I'm not really wanting to spend more than £25-30 as this is merely for nostalgia (megadrive, N64, late 80s/90s arcade games) rather than taking getting into the current gaming trends (personally the moment sony and microsoft got involved I started to lose interest)

Bad times at the El Royale Great Stuff (doesnt seem to be getting alot of media coverage for some reason)

Israeli's seem to be playing like Boneti's Dundee team circa 2000/01

Any way to have the SFA/SPFL listen to the views of fans.
tom_widdows replied to Lencarl's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Is it possible to go with the 'people make mistakes (see our various referendums) and learn from them' option and get behind him on this one? Or is it like the current tory government - you made the decision and that means you have to stick with it because if you decide something was maybe not the best idea, changing your mind and putting a stop to it, having another go, will undermine democracy blah blah blah. Get sentenced to 18years of hell every time you vote for the people who wear blue......(fuck sake that means Ill be 48 by the time they get booted out! Who knows how old ill be when cockwomble leaves!) -
Is this where the wheels fall off the hearts bandwagon?

Another aspect of football I find frustrating is the sheer number of players who continue to pick up wages at clubs despite spending most of the time on the injury table. I can't think of another career in which you can get quite well paid for up to a decade (perhaps even longer) for not doing the job you are actually being paid for (well apart from politicians)? or to focus on a rumour I heard several years ago about the Aberdeen football club physio/ medical team not being all they are cracked up to be.

Probably a 3-4 game ban given the club had the gaul to appeal

Dirthy Filthy Hun Scumbag Vermin (deceased) and Poundland tribute act
tom_widdows replied to mizer's topic in Football Chat
Legacy of the 10000 seat rule brought in by the likes of Doncaster and co to appease the evil hordes. Livi would have been quite happy staying with the original 2 sided almondvale (circa 6000 capacity). Rumour has it they recenlty looked to sell the stadium to a supermarket and move to a smaller ground nearby but nothing came of it. -
Dirthy Filthy Hun Scumbag Vermin (deceased) and Poundland tribute act
tom_widdows replied to mizer's topic in Football Chat
Anyone recall what happened last time they pulled that shit at pittodrie (robbie winters the victim)? Anyway as they go to Tynecastle next weekend, should that result in another defeat will the media start to turn on young Stevie....or will it depend on their efforts against the Austrians on Thursday night? -
Dirthy Filthy Hun Scumbag Vermin (deceased) and Poundland tribute act
tom_widdows replied to mizer's topic in Football Chat
Got a bad feeling that it will be livingston who cop a fine for it as they are responsible for stewarding at their own stadium -
They are taking points off them away from Parkhead. Tic have 100% home record this season If the dons dont take anything off them at Pittodrie then its another matter

Last day of last season

Hibernian v Aberdeen Betfred Cup Quarter-Final
tom_widdows replied to Lencarl's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Has ball been sent off? BBC scoreline states he got 2 yellows but now there is a text update saying he has been subbed? -
Was great hearing that 2nd goal go after having Liam McLeod spend a large part of the last 10 mins spouting sentences such as 'Celtic are more than capable of scoring late' 'If celtic are going to win they will need to repeat what they did last Thursday' 'If celtic are goint to win this they will need to score even later than they did last Thursday' Then when Kilmarnock got a corner in stoppage time finally came 'Kilmarnock could win this.....'

Alex Miller?

Doesn't Matter If You're Black Or White.....Right??
tom_widdows replied to SeeBass's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
You know when your brain tells you that, perhaps you should consider asking why it thinks its stupid or just not continuing with such a line of thought? -
Tom Hunter (New Cumnock) is the man yer after Tom Farmer (as far as I know) hasn't done anything yet. Hes from Leith if anyone's interested

Do you? You rent a property and one day you decide to make some improvements. If yer a 'good' tenant you ask your landlord for permission who in turn will need to consider if your changes will improve or potentially damage their investment. In a domestic property if its merely painting a room then yer usually fine as it wont cost much to rectify and they could always withold yer deposit at the end. If you start knocking down walls or extending then its another matter. In commercial property its common for lease agreements to have a clause stating you will return the property back to the state it was prior to occupation but you still need to get permission from the landlord to do anything and if you do it against their wishes they can kick you out. Now Queens park may be a small amatuer club but they were the owners and whatever the SFA proposed the Spiders opening gambit would be 'whats in it for us?'. Businesses come along saying they want to buy the naming rights - 'whats in it for us?' We'd like to build offices, shops, a hotel, student halls into the structure of a new stand(s) to build revenue streams - 'whats in it for us?' and so on Now Queens park are gone its one less hurdle for potential investors plus now the SFA have an asset they can take out loans against

Sportsound & co citing Stuttgarty's stadium as an example of what could be done at Hampden 2006 World Cup (58million euro redevelopment) 52000 capacity After redevelopment (completed 2011 63.5million euros) 64000 capacity (54000 when all seated)
