  1. Gotta love Efe Ambrose
  2. Cynic in me says corrupt politicians with shares in Vaping companies are on the attack following the recent article suggesting (drum roll for fuck all affect) that vaping might not be 'safe' I am enjoing how the argument of 'its less harmful than smoking' (future saatchi & saatchi billboard) is being spun so it can be translated by the masses as 'they said its safe!' Personally I prefer the alternative to vaping. Chewing a piece of juicy fruit gum whilst spraying random strangers with a can of Lynx
  3. Alex Di Rocco anyone?
  4. Perhaps another factor in the civil war. The aberdeen based fans hate the Glasgow based ones and vice versa The Wester Ross based fans hate the Inverness based ones etc The Perth based fans hate the dundee based ones etc everyone hates the edinburgh based ones etc and no one really cares about the Borders, englandshire or foreign based ones.
  5. Certain comments on the officla AFC facebook feed suggest a certain song about Dumbarton's assistant manager split the support. Also complaints from people about people complaining about them stadning up, language used, their political persuasion, whether they wore boxers or briefs and so on. Few of the comments remind me of people who compain about drivers who don't break speed limits. Along the lines of 'I'll act like a prick if I want to and if you don't like it you're a killjoy' This sort of shit isnt new, just perhaps getting more coverage now, or maybe as people are getting older they are getting less tolerant (from both sides). Bringing back standing should remove one of the arguments anyway
  6. 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Allowed to change guess at any point as along as it is to an empty tally Kenny Choose again 90 89 88 87 86 85 84 83 82 81 80 79 - EdmontonDandy 78 77 - OxfordDon 76 - Elgindon 75 - Lencarl 74 - Rico 73 - wee toon red 72 - Tom_W 71 - Ten Caat 70 - Manc 69 - BigAl 68 - MBT 67 66 65 64 63 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30
  7. Any relation to this man?
  8. Quality is a very strong word. 12 years is a long time in football but as I recall he had a couple of good matches (Vs Romanovs mercenaries and the tax dodgers) then pretty much settled back to the usual Standard of the time. Don't recall much fuss when his loan wasn't extended and according to wikipedia he actually quit football for good about 6 years after leaving the dons (in his mid 20s)
  9. Strikers: Anderson - 1 May - 1 Midfielders: MacKay-Steven - 4 Ferguson - 1 Defenders: Shinnie - 1
  10. Strikers: Anderson - 1 Midfielders: MacKay-Steven - 1 Defenders:
  11. Just watching the Anderson goal. What exactly was the Sevco no.6 trying to achieve? Looks to me if he had just stood still the shot would have been blocked but he seems to have decided the shot was going over the merkland roof.
  12. Fuck sake what's happened to the world? waaaaah he said this, I'm offended, how dare you, apologise now, waaaaah Its bad enough professional footballers pretending they have been shot when someone breathes on them without managers turning into primary schoolers through the media. Kevin Keegan springs to mind This and more of this
  13. On the same plane as Batistuta, Klinsmann, Ginola & Taffarel?
  14. And the sharks start circling https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/plans-for-eateries-near-new-stadium1/ Also the PR machine has restarted https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/local/new-dons-stadium-could-have-positive-effect-on-house-prices1/
  15. Nice when your existing stadium & facilities are on a large site not closely boxed in by public roads and private housing.
  16. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-45052342 And again.
  17. I dont accept the maribor one given Rooney missed a penalty (given despite McGinn putting the ball in the net immediatley after the foul) in the 2nd leg which would have levelled things up. Anyway the Dons matched Burnley over both legs and whilst it would have been sweet to get that 2nd goal in normal time I think this is the first time I feel a sense of pride and say the dons can be gracious in defeat as from what I saw it was a fair square go and I don't recall any controversial moments. Burnely may have had the extra but they know they were in a game tonight. Bonus for me was getting to hear Ferguson's goal on radio scotland, and have enough time to get to the other room to see it go in on the live stream. Onwards to Sunday
  18. Hey Bob. Why is that section of seating in the centre of the away section never occupied? Are those seats knackered?
  19. Nothing to do with defending. Its the midfield that shafted the defence with that one. Giving away cheap possession on the half way line from a dons throw in.
  20. Reserve league supposedly being brought back this season
  21. Can't help thinking of a certain Kiwi who turned up and scored the occasional 'spectacular' goal then went missing for mutliple games
  22. wrong thread lencarl
