  1. I cannot stand either team but I really hope PSG snatch an injury time goal that shafts Barcelona. I'm still not decided on the penalty especially given the Ref had a better view than his assistant and didn't give it
  2. basically means the project has to be determined by Committee rather than the designated Planning Officer. Given the size of the development that was pretty much going to happen anyway. Even if it had been completely one sided (for or against) that would only have a slight bearing on the final decision. There is an art to objecting to/ Supporting a planning application and I reckon more than 50% of those comments are in the bin already.
  3. Or perhaps fixed to guarantee a 6th OF match?
  4. Perhaps the removal of cash turnstiles is in preparation for moving to a new stadium out of town? Makes sense to me that being 7 miles away from the centre will reduce the number of people who whilst in town suddenly think 'ah fuck it lets go to the game'. There is also the Big brother element in that they buying in advance online means they have details of the ticket holders in case of emergency or trouble Personally I still think the club are denying themselves a fairly decent revenue stream (500 walk ups on the day = £10K-ish plus extras such as food/ drink/ merchandise etc) but I'm not the one having to keep the lights on every week.
  5. I believe the original plan was for St Nicholas House (old council building) was that it be a modernist glazed tower similar to the Skyscrapers in Chicago, New York and the like, however someone (client, planners etc) declared it would not be in keeping with the City's Granite Architecture and/or the other towers (high rise flats at the Gallowgate & Justice Street) so they went with the Brutalist Concrete instead.
  6. It should not be forgotten that the UTG debacle killed off the new Peacock visual arts gallery which was to be built into the side of the gardens It already had planning permission and 90% of the funding had been obtained when UTG kicked off.
  7. Apparently they have already used up their loan quota (did that exist in Romanov's day?) so they only way to get a keeper was to find a free agent. Something there doesn't tend to be a lot of 4 weeks after a transfer window and with Kirkcaldy being the prize
  8. Queen's park are still the owner's of Hampden so all rent etc will need to be negotiated with them.
  9. BT sport apparently
  10. Strikers: Rooney 17 Stockley 6 Burns 1 Storey 1 Midfielders: McGinn 12 McLean 4 Hayes 7 Maddison 2 Pawlett 3 Christie 2 Jack 1 Defenders: Considine 3 Logan 3 O'Connor 2 Taylor 2 Shinnie 1
  11. Top 6 place assured so no relegation this year. 85 83 82 81 - MBT 80 79 78 77 - Tyrant 76 (2nd Place Assured) 75 74 - Nellie The Don 73 - BigAl 72 - Edinburghdon 71 - Oxford Don 70 69 68 - Thomsod (European Football Assured) 67 - Jute 66 - Manc 65 - rocket 64 63 - Tom_Widdows 62 61
  12. 11,774
  13. Motherwell concede 4 to Dundee and its not even half time yet Edit: make that 5
  14. Would go to 4th Place. Apparently they changed it for the 2014/2015 season.
  15. Unlikely (and probably jinxed now) but come 10pm Wednesday yon Blue meanies could actually drop to 5th place with the Tic lying in wait 4 days later Knew it was jinxed. Fuck sake Hearts & St Johnstone
  16. Dons have conceded 30 goals in 37 games this season This time last season it was 38 goals in 34 games (32 goals in 29 games with Ward). Given the defence hasn't changed would it be safe to say Lewis's experience is the key with that and perhaps Ward's lack of experience means he is still prone to mistakes which may not impress the Huddersfield lot? Don's fans vision of ward may have been clouded when comparing the goalkeepers of previous seasons
  17. One win away from officially being safe from Relegation 5 more wins to kick me into touch 88 86 85 84 83 82 81 - MBT 80 79 78 77 - Tyrant 76 75 74 - Nellie The Don 73 - BigAl 72 - Edinburghdon 71 - Oxford Don 70 69 68 - Thomsod 67 - Jute 66 - Manc 65 - rocket 64 63 - Tom_Widdows 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49
  18. 3rd in the Championship (7 points behind brighton with a game in hand, 5 points behind newcastle). Money from a winning FA Cup Run (Not including TV money) = £3,397,500 Money from Promotion to Premiership - Allegedly £200,000,000 Well done Mr Murdoch
  19. Irritating that one. Need the Jambos to pull their finger out and finish 3rd above Sevco
  20. 1996/97 League Cup Greenock Morton 3-7 Aberdeen (Dodds 3, Windass 4) 2-0 up only go 3-2 down and equalising in the last minute. 4 extra time goals
  21. Absolute shed-load of Objections appeared since the start of February. Still another 16 days of public comments to come too
  22. Apparently Celtic are now awarded penalties for kicking the ball into st Johnstone defenders ribs. The consensus of 'if you can't see it then you can't give it' doesn't apply to them Scott Brown is also definetly allowed to do what he likes while defending, especially when its in his own penalty area (And Thomson definitely SAW that)
  23. I see sevco are pulling the same trick their ugly sisters were last season. They declared their attendance as 49,428. (1559 empty seats) which sportscene decided was worthy of highlighting on Final score. However from the TV pics there were a fair amount of noticeable gaps all around. In other news, should the Dons fail to win 2 of their next 5 games then the Tic could actually win the title against Sevco at parkhead. Cops will love that one
  24. MBT hanging on. Are we now going to see an influx of new entrants or perhaps prediction changes? 90 89 88 87 86 85 84 83 82 81 - MBT 80 79 78 77 - Tyrant 76 75 74 - Nellie The Don 73 - BigAl 72 - Edinburghdon 71 70 69 68 - Thomsod 67 - Jute 66 - Manc 65 - rocket 64 63 - Tom_Widdows 62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40
