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........

Supposedly being shared by the Russians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhVaSWYcdyQ

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

The sad part is it is not just the ugly sisters. They have the majority of the blame put on them (rightly so IMO) but sectarianism is still rife in Scotland and it is all too easy to pigeon hole it into football. Some of the worst sectarian bile I've heard actually came from a couple of Aberdeen fans who had also adopted the 'holly willies prayer' attitude of 'We're Aberdeen so its not sectarian when we say it. A quote from a book springs to mind (think it was an Ian Rankin or maybe Christopher Brookmyre). 'Scotland wasn't a racist country. It was too busy concentrating on sectarianism & bigotry'

Memories of Teletext

Soooo No Shinnie No Logan No McLean Be an interesting line up in a couple of weeks

Given the gate reciepts are split 50:50 Killie would be stupid to make this ticket only. But then again logic was never a strong suit of Scottish football

Dear god I only got to see part of the second half but it was more than enough to make me lose whatever 'guilt' I had for not going to what is essentially a home game for me. At one point I found myself almost screaming at the laptop for any player on the field, partick or dons, to actually take control of the ball and play it on the actual ground. I used to put up with is in my blind loyalty days but football in general now is daylight robbery on all counts. I don't know what the ticket prices were but I can now see why so many fans are get hammered before going to games.

One trick is to ensure you put glazed panels in the stand roofs to allow more natural light (See Amex Arena, Aviva Stadium etc). You also take sun paths into consideraiton when working out the orientation/ final position of the stadium. The stands at pittodrie really don't help with its orientation. The monolith RDS blocks the sunlight from the East, the South stand roof blocks a large part of the pitch for most of the day and by the time the sun is going down you have the merkland roof playing its part. Now if you played summer football the pitch may stand up a little better given the different sun pattern (and of course longer daylight hours). Respond to the planning conditions and get them cleared whilst also proceeding with the building warrant/ construction drawings/ specifications. Thats the point the safe standing etc will materialise (if it is indeed to be part of it).

Whoever said Scottish Football was rigged Celtic v Greenock Morton Aberdeen v Kilmarnock Motherwell v Heart of Midlothian Rangers v Falkirk Couldn't have at least given them away ties

I thought the 'Maze Runner: The Death Cure' was very entertaining. Supposedly it has taken some liberty with the original storyline (as with the previous two) however still good stuff and given current affairs, it is quite frightening.

His record with the Dons (according to AFC heritage) Played - 6 (I sat through 4 of them) Won - 1 Lost - 5 Goals Conceded -17 He kept 1 single clean sheet (against St johnstone) HOWEVER I recall him fumbling the ball on the goal line in the 90th minute and the entire RDL going into meltdown. All the while he played Leighton was sat on the bench.

Stokes just left Brazil 1970 by 'mutual consent' I wonder if he will end up going the same way of Riordan or Garry O' Connor?

Think it was standard end of season lower league english football....2-1 win against blackpool which meant absolutely nothing in terms of league placings. Our History teacher was a big fan and decided to show us the video over a few lessons at the end of 3rd year.

Personally I'd hope they would do what Huddersfield town did when they left Leeds Road. They recorded the final match at the stadium and broke it down to extended highlights which were then split into 3-5min segments. These were then used as a break between chapters of a detailed history of the stadium which showed old footage, classic goals, newsreels and interviews etc.
