  1. Minor incident on my First ever trip to Easter Road when hibs casuals 'attacked' the regent bar - No idea if it was usually their pub or if their Dons equivalents were there in force. Either way a shower of bottles and pint glasses stopped all but one getting in who then swung at the closest thing which happened to be a small boy. The door was slammed shut and locked and Hibs boy wasnt really prepared for the wrath of an angry Dad. I was in the other room keeping clear and looking for an exit. Closest thing is probably at a Wrexham vs Cardiff Match back in 2001. Only time Ive witnessed riot and mounted police in action in person. The start of it was the Cardiff lot getting off the train at Wrexham General station which is right next to the Stadium and looking to attack anything in site. Guy ran and took a swing at me but missed and took out (wait for it) a small boy on his Dad's shoulders. Unlike the Hibs guy he didnt look shocked at this and took another couple of swings at the Dad before 2 cops took him out. I ran to the turnstiles and watched the riot unfold from the Kop.
  2. Derek Whyte springs to mind. Difference was he did his 'non-playing' on the pitch
  3. The last one for 2 days
  4. Just wouldn't use edge No issues with Google chrome + adblock
  5. Couldn't happen to a nicer club (Fucking soul crew muppets)
  6. https://themoth.org/podcast
  7. Goalies union on the penalty Looks like a standard free kick to the goalie all day. McDonald comes for the ball and loses it when Maddison collides with him. He does catch maddison as he falls back but free kick should have been awarded before that happened and certainly didnt warrant a yellow card for anyone. I also suspect had McGinn or Rooney been following up and scored with the loose ball Collum would have ruled it out a given killie the free kick. Is Collum perhaps looking to make up for the Hamilton match 2 seasons back?
  8. radio team were heard to say 'collum has been having a fine season...til today'. Shall be interested to see the penalty award and no doubt hear thompson and nevin moan about it
  9. Tell that to the BBC commentators.

  11. 2-2 - Sterling just cancelled out his OG
  12. Outside of Glasgow and based on size of the potential crowd it would have to be one of the Edinburgh stadiums or Rugby park (latter of course would be even worse than Hampden) Once you get away from them it would be either Tanndaice (14,209), Fir Park (13,742). Perth would be nice but the capacity hinders it (10,673). Last time a League Cup semi final was held outside of Glasgow or Edinburgh was in February 2000 when a certain Arild Stavrum scored the winner at Dens Park with the dons allocation being just over 5000.
  13. Dont know who the ref is but he looks very nervous. Really not the sort of image you want to give off in a game like this
  14. Seeing claims the evil hordes allocation was cut to 800. Is this true?
  15. Sensible ticket selling would be to shut the BT Scotland stand until all other tickets are sold. (capacity reduced to 34000) Then split the north stand down the middle and sell towards each end, opening up the BT stand as and when required But no doubt the first allocations will be the lower tiers of the BT stand with the North Stand handed to the Dons so whilst the Morton fans may occasionally be heard they wont be seen. Kick off time suggests TV coverage too
  16. So Wikipedia claiming the game will be on the Saturday (22nd) which sets it up for a 3pm Kick Off
  17. Someone at BT sport possibly being sacked for that one....or were they just desperate to guarantee at least 3 OF matches this season? So the match has to be played at a really shit time and place for both sets of supporters. 10am on Sunday 23rd October at Harmsworth Park, Wick seems like a good shout
  18. Stream isn't working but BBC stats say there has only been 1 shot on goal the entire game and that was from St Johnstone. Scottish football at its finest by the sound of it
  19. http://www.donstalk.co.uk/index.php/topic,13607.4820.html Did you really have to post this in the AFC board?

  21. Last one seems to be about the grass roots and possible future of the game There was a clip of Craig Brown on Radio Scotland this morning bemoaning that his proposal to emulate Gerrard Houlier's policy in French football was blocked by the Fido dido's and tribute act as it would 'hold them back in Europe. Found this from November 2015
  22. I fear Stockley has been 'marked' by the Scottish Refs already so his strength will just lead to defenders getting free kicks.
  23. Debilitating illness didn't stop Theodore Roosevelt being president for 12 years
  24. Contrast from last season 2015/16 Played: 5 Won: 5 Goals for: 9 Goals against: 1 Points: 15 2016/17 Played: 5 Won: 1 Drawn: 3 Lost: 1 Goals For: 4 Goals Against: 6 Points: 6 I find myself hitting my head against the brick wall with McInnes and what seems to be a blatant refusal to change anything.
