Since the money grabbing Joke league was created the winning managers have been as follows 1992/93 - Scottish 1993/94 - Scottish 1994/95 - Scottish 1995/96 - Scottish 1996/97 - Scottish 1997/98 - French 1998/99 - Scottish 1999/00 - Scottish 2000/01 - Scottish 2001/02 - French 2002/03 - Scottish 2003/04 - French 2004/05 - Portuguese 2005/06 - Portuguese 2006/07 - Scottish 2007/08 - Scottish 2008/09 - Scottish 2009/10 - Italian 2010/11 - Scottish 2011/12 - Italian 2012/13 - Scottish 2013/14 - Chillean 2014/15 - Portuguese 2015/16 - Italian 2016/17 - Italian

I see yon Jambos have drawn up a 'plan B' just incase the new stand isn't ready for November 5th. I'm starting to wonder if they are using the same project management team & contractors as were used to build the tram network. They have 13 games left in 2017 of which 10 are meant to be at home. Murrayfield is booked for 2 of them and they may have the option of using it for the November 5th but after that they may have to go crawling to Hibs, Livingston & Edinburgh City.

Anyone happen to know how tall the Syrian national team is? Forced to play all their home games in Malaysia with fuck all funding or facilities and yet they managed to get out of their groups and the Aussies needed extra time and a red card to finally put them out. They must all be 7ft tall

Looks like Slovakia are heading out. Their only chance of getting a playoff spot is for Greece to draw or lose to Gibraltar and Bosnia to beat Estonia.

Wales OOT!! I know its not much to cling to but this has cheered me up a little.

Ebay or Gumtree? If the former you may take a hit on the auction & paypal fees but thats only if you sell them for the exact price you paid. Alternatively perhaps donate them to a charity as a raffle prize and build up your karma?

1 B Portugal 7 6 0 1 22 4 +18 18 2 G Italy 7 4 2 1 11 8 +3 14 3 A Sweden 7 4 1 2 17 7 +10 13 4 E Denmark 7 4 1 2 12 5 +7 13 5 C Northern Ireland 7 4 1 2 10 5 +5 13 6 H Greece 8 3 4 1 9 5 +4 13 7 D Wales 7 2 5 0 7 5 +2 11 8 I Croatia 7 3 2 2 6 4 +2 11 9 F Scotland 7 3 2 2 8 9 ?1 11 Updated table. Teams in bold are guaranteed at least a playoff spot Greece play Gibraltar in their last game so they are now relying on other results to stay in. Croatia play Ukraine needing a draw to finish 2nd but a win to guarantee a playoff spot. If Ukraine win they take the playoff spot. Welsh need to beat ireland to guarantee the playoffs. If Ireland win they have to hope the Croatians draw. Northern Ireland need a draw in Norway to guarantee their spot Denmark need a draw at home to Romania Sweden just need to avoid a heavy defeat in Amsterdam And we all know what Scotland need

Bosnia lost. Group H now appears to be the favourite to finish bottom of the play-off table. If Cyprus beat Greece, northern Ireland will be guaranteed a playoff spot.

Looking very tight in the Playoff place table at the moment Come tomorrow night Scotland could be bottom of it as we are the only 2nd place team with a negative goal difference (malta results removed). 1 B Portugal 6 5 0 1 21 3 +18 15 2 G Italy 7 4 2 1 11 8 +3 14 3 E Denmark 7 4 1 2 12 5 +7 13 4 C Northern Ireland 7 4 1 2 10 5 +5 13 5 D Wales 7 2 5 0 7 5 +2 11 6 I Croatia 7 3 2 2 6 4 +2 11 7 F Scotland 7 3 2 2 8 9 ?1 11 8 A Sweden 6 3 1 2 10 7 +3 10 9 H Bosnia and Herz 6 2 2 2 10 8 +2 8 Sweden will most likely jump up to 2nd place tomorrow with a victory over Luxembourg so Group H seems to be where we have to hope results go our way to at least make sure beating slovenia gets the desired result Tomorrow it is Bosnia vs Belgium & Cyprus vs Greece. If the Greeks win and the Bosnians don't it pretty much guarantees Greece will finish 2nd (they play Gibraltar in their final game). That scenario would mean the group H runners up would finish with Max 13 points. If the Bosnian's dont win and the Cypriots beat Greece then its even better

Just to clear up a couple of things. Aberdeen FC may be the applicants but the Agents who submitted the application and were indeed responsible for it (with assistance from the club as required) are Halliday Fraser Munro. Stewart Milne's involvement would have been as a representative of the Client. The Stewart Milne Group are House builders and timber kit designers/ suppliers. A planning application for a large stadium complex is nothing like one for a large housing development which is why there are specialist planning consultants for such projects. I am presuming HFA meet that criteria. The application has not been 'pulled'. The decision has been deferred to allow for additional discussions and given it appears ACC have allowed this rather than simply killing it off with a rejection this allows more time for design tweaks etc. Planning applications unlike Building warrants are open to interpretation. There are local plans, guidelines etc but they can actually all be ignored if the local authority sees fit. I could be wrong but I doubt the ACC planning department or HFM have ever had to deal with a project like this one and it will have been a learning curve for everyone involved. Personally having read some of the statements & responses from some of the consultants it struck me that they did not know what to do or even what to ask for and when faced with the unknown the default response always seems to be 'reject'. Until the application is withdrawn or rejected I am keeping an open mind.

About 20 years after the one about the construction of the Beach 'Leisure' Park Potentially related given the aggro over potential parking controls being brought into Westhill if the stadium was contructed, I see Aberdeen-shire Council are investigating de-criminalising on-street parking IE taking it out of Police control and hiring their own traffic wardens.

Can you elaborate further?

McCulloch oot along with his assistant. My bet is on Kris Boyd becoming player manager

The 2014 Christmas special is particularly disturbing but my personal favourite was the 'White Bear' Episode in season 2. Had no idea Brooker had sold it to the States or that there was a season 3 or 4.

My mind always springs to a former AFC Captain who apparently classes cheating to win an SPL title as a Manager as better than honestly winning 3 as a player or dumping Real Madrid & Bayern Munich in 1983

Good luck to him. I think its refreshing to see someone like Coyle head back to a 'smaller' Scottish club. Suggests to me that he isn't just chasing money and is prepared to actually 'manage' a team rather than rely on a transfer kitty to carry him. Too many managers get a couple of sniffs of Englandshire and then turn their noses up at any Scottish club (apart from the obvious gap years that comes with yon Tic).

Off the Ball today they said someone had done some research into the wage gulf between PSG and yon Tic compared to the wage gulf between yon tic and the 'diddy' teams in the spfl PSG average player wage last season - Apparenlty £4.2million Celtic Average player wage last season - Apparenlty £700k Averange non OF player wage last season - Apparenlty £47k PSG 6 times more than Celtic Celtic almost 15times more than the non OF Teams Strange that Jim Mcintyre has yet to mention this as an excuse for Ross county's defeat
