Section 75 agreement is also known as 'Planning Obligations'. Basically the club has signed a legal document saying they will comply with the planning conditions and/or make contributions to improve the local area around the development. Still leaves the building warrant side of things to be resolved.

Scottish football really is dull

The building warrant needs to be approved before they can start actually building anything. Far as I know that applicaiton hasn't been submitted yet and given the complexity I would presume it will be a staged warrant. EG Stage 1 Groundworks & services etc Stage 2 Superstructure/ shell Stage 3 Fit out Before all that they need to clear all the planning conditions and of course start negotiations with Aberdeen-shire council about the improved pedestrian access etc. I'll go out on a limb and say there isn't a chance in hell any stadium works will begin until Summer 2019 at the earliest.

Unfortunately there is nothing 'usual' about the development so its difficult to say when they will get round to issuing the actual decision and/or documents. Planning departments throughout scotland are stretched to the limit and even the simplest house extensions are being delayed by weeks even months so I'm not surprised nearly 2months down the line it is only at the 'verbal' approval stage. A much less controversial development I worked on took 18months to get planning permission of which the final 6months saw my colleagues and I regularly writing to the Planning officers asking 'where is that planning permission you promised us? Just glad its not in a conservation area and doesn't involve any listed buildings

Yon tic win the next 6 league titles they will overtake the tribute acts world record and beat the 9 in a row malarky. Then yon tribute acts 5 stars on their badge will look even more pathetic than it already is.

Went to see 'Ghost Stories' last night Seen a few people slagging it off but I enjoyed it. I've been put off horror films in the last decade or so since the yanks saturated the genre with same monotonous shite emphasising gore and stupidity but this one played to what I consider to be good horror Build atmosphere, imply the horror rather than just shoving a CGI monster onto the screen, keep you guessing, and also make it at least seem as if the situation could happen to you. As it was split into segments with different aspects it didn't get boring. The 2nd 'story' in particular stuck out for me Martin Freeman has been pissing me off with his Vodafone adverts but he was back on form in this one.

Jesus the Dons players need to look at this motherwell team. They just plain simple fucking get on with it. I'm thinking of the difference say between Northern Ireland's National team and Scotland's. Some of the players picked for the Northern Irish are complete unknowns or even ridiculed but when they get together they form an effective team. Scotland over the last 20+ years on the other hand have been filled with individuals or little cliques who believe their own hype.

Jesus fucking christ Lewis & Mckenna!!! We have 3 upfront (supposedly) and yet there is no urgency, or movenment. Its get to the edge of the box, stop, look up, wait, randomly cross it in and wait for motherwell to clear.

and it begins.... Fucking ittirates me seeing players stop to claim for a foul etc rather than just getting on with it and waiting for the whistle!

BBC saying its a 4-3-3 formation May, Rooney & Stewart all upfront

Whoever Trump's speech writer either has significant 'tongue & cheek' or ignorance.

I'm looking forward to Hibs taking points of the Tic next weekend setting up the OF match to be the title decider the authorities supposeldy all wanted to avoid

I'm going out on a limb and predicting a bizarre absolute hammering for Motherwell akin to the St Johnstone league cup Semi-Final 4 years back. So bizarre a result the fans won't know what to do with themselves afterwards and supporters buses and pubs will be packed with dons fans all slightly zombified quietly sipping their pints/ carry outs. Bar staff and bus drivers will be on edge wondering what the fuck is going on. Or it will be 1-0 motherwell

Red bulls dream of having two teams in the semi finals fails despite RB Salzburg coming back from 1-0 down to Lazio to win 4-1 (3 goals in 4minutes) Europa Semi linal up Arsenal RB Salzburg Marseille (remember the old AFC chat days that was edited by the swear filter?) Athletico Madrid

Given they have to play each other next Sunday I find it bizarre the press etc are still making out as if the police would ever have accepted having two OF matches in 7 days. I'd like to think Rodgers is planning some devilment and will play his under 12s in the games leading up to whenever cockwomble and co decide to have their drinking session and then unleash a nicely rested full first team on murty & co. picking up the 3 points they need and then going on holiday

The traditional tynecastle affair I see Get on top for 10mins, lose a goal and relax........

Back on topic Yon tribute act will definetly end up with 3 home games against two of the top 6 as they have hosted the other 5 teams twice over the main season. I'm going down the bookies to see what the odds on are one of those games being against the tic. To balance the dons season their fixtures should be Hearts - hme Killie - away Hibs - hme Tic- away Sevco - hme But it will probably end up Hearts - away Killie - hme Hibs - away Tic - hme Sevco - away

Motorway over the Peak District? The A623 can be a bit of a race track but classing it as a motorway?

That implies the rest of the world give a fuck about the UK For me the UK is a bit like the Head Boy/Girl at an old fashioned fucked up boarding school. Whilst the rest of the world was stuck in that fucked up class/ privelage/ nepotistic society that was the colonial days they bowed down, sucked up and generally did what they had to do to get by until the nightmare was over and the real world could begin. Now everyone has grown up, mostly escaped the clutches of the fascist education state and is wondering why the fuck they ever put up with the cunt in with the little badge and basically chooses to ignore little old england until forced to interact with them. The older I get the more it saddens me to find out the people in control of the world are not even qualified to run a car-boot sale and yet they have sicofantic support from their party members. There was some tory twat defending Johnsons comments almost making him out to be hawking, Ghandi, Martin Luther King & Jesus H Christ and the sick part was I think he actually believed every word he said. The foreign seceratary who essentialy condemnded a British citizen to rot in an Iranian jail, and could very well set up the real 'war to end all wars' all because his mouth isnt attached to his brain.

Aberdeen City Council can do the same by taking their time with the building warrant application (Which is still to be submitted)

Irn Bru (Challenge Cup Final) like watching astro turf grow. Best chance so far was Caley missing a penalty - a terrible effort fitting of the game Started off hoping Dumbarton would win (121 years since they reached a cup final) then the camera panned to their bench and focused on their assistant manager......

Am I the only one who when the whole Moult 'courtship' was in full flow could not help but remember Nick Blackman. 10 goals in 18 games for Mortherwell, Signs for Dons and it drops to 2 in 15. Few years down the line hes supposedly worth transfer fees of £1.2m & £3m but for me that is merely a sign of the sickness in English football. A possibility is Moult fitted in with Motherwell's style of play (and Wrexham's priot to that) but no guarantee he would have clicked with McInnes's tactics, or for the supserstituous types he could have been another victim of the what I call 'The Aberdeen curse - where good people come to either die or walk in limbo until rescued'

Seen 'highlights' of their game with Killie today. Clearly the defeat to celtic last week struck a chord with their 'loyal' fans. With about 15mins to go and Killie only leading 1-0 an exodus appeared to happen and by the time the final whistle went the Broomloan stand was deserted. I think they all drove away though rather than walked. I think if they lose the semi final Ibrox will be a Ghost town even if they are still pushing for second
