What the fuck's wrong with eating haggis?

Sky News Twitter: "Hospital spokesperson says Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba is in a stable condition after collapsing on pitch during match with Tottenham"

Game abandoned at White Hart Lane? Bolton player Muamba could not be resuscitated??? Fucking hell. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17417973

Brown, McArdle, Reynolds, Considine, Robertson, Arnason, Clark, Jack, Vernon, Fallon, Rae.

The return of JC perhaps?

New album sounds great, saw it played in its entirety at the Albert Hall late last year. I'm listening to Django Django amongst other things - one of the band is the brother of one of the Beta Band, and there's definitely some similarities in the music.

Duped? He's a business man, he should know all about due diligence.

You on a private jet from Aberdeen? #mikewilson

Not sure about Jack being most improved player, he's always looked pretty decent to me. Jury will always be out on Considine

Brilliant

For the love of fuck.

I think its okay. Apart from anything else you can use it to get the latest football scores so I ditched the app I had for that purpose.

Dons Supporters Together had a meeting with representatives from Aberdeen Football Club last week. The club gave us nearly 3 hours of their time in what was a positive discussion on a range of topics. Summary notes on what was discussed are shown below. Minutes for the meeting with Aberdeen Football Club Representatives on Wednesday 7th March 2012 at 4pm, Pittodrie Stadium Present: DST: Bill Ellis, Mike Rennie, Jennifer Moffat, Ross Moffat AFC: Duncan Fraser, Dave Macdermid, Chris Gavin DST Update DST provided an update to the club on their current situation post-launch. DST launched on 4th February 2012 and membership has increased 400% with sign up sessions organised for the next two home games. Gordon Duncan of DST attended the Ellon Roadshow to promote the launch. It was agreed with DF that leaflets could go out with season ticket renewals for next season. DST will work with AFC to be the vehicle to provide communication between the supporters and the club. Bank Facilities Good working relationship with the bank. Facilities were renewed with the long term aim around the stadium. The bank debt will not increase from current levels going forward. Stadium Move Offers are in for Pittodrie and the club is considering these. The club are working hard on negotiating contracts/funding for the new Stadium and the start of 2013/14 season remains the target. DST asked how they could help with the stadium move. Nearer the time of the move DST could help get messages out to the fans on pricing etc. At the moment we can provide feedback on what fans want for a match day experience. The club recognise that the move will require them to make a more unique and inviting match day experience and are looking at what other clubs are doing. Safe Standing DST’s survey showed fans were overwhelmingly in favour of the introduction of Safe Standing and provided the club with an outline of pros and cons. AFC stressed they are open to Safe Standing area. However the SPL have only agreed to a “trial” of safe standing. AFC would like to see a club trial next season and see if it works which could pave the way for a proper introduction into the SPL. There was the suggestion of funding aid from central funding for this trial. This will be followed up by DST through Supporters Direct and the club will discuss with the SPL. Club’s still need police and local authorities’ onside.AFC have very good relationships with the police authorities at Grampian. Club agreed that after the architects had fed back to them on practicalities, and they had discussed implications with Barr, they would feedback to DST. Communications DST showed DF the Roy MacGregor article and discussed Ross County’s high profile in the community and as a model that AFC could learn from. The club highlighted the various community projects they undertake but agreed it is perhaps under publicised. DST offered to help and stressed that these sorts of messages need to be better communicated. The club handed DST its community brochure which DST agreed to put onto its website which shows the AFC programme extends beyond that of Ross County. AFC Vision and Friends of the Club DST raised the fact there was still no vision statement for the club. DF quoted the aim from the strategic plan which was about rebuilding a successful club in Scottish football and the local community. The aim was very good and DST stressed the need to communicate this message to the fans. The club agreed and at a suitable time will make this public. DST stressed the importance of doing this sooner rather than later. The club acknowledged the amount of work gone in to creating the Friends of the Club document but felt that a lot of the content was being covered by the four AFC Board sub groups who are working with other individuals out with the club to drive the clubs aim. Reds Direct and Funding DST asked the club to resurrect the idea of giving shares in return for monies raised. It was suggested 10,000 shares for every £10,000 raised and donated to the club for youth development/community programmes. DF was positive in regards to this and would get back to us on it. Rangers FC The situation at Rangers was discussed and it was agreed that this was a chance to change Scottish football for the better in terms of making it a more competitive league. Aberdeen FC emphasised that they would do all they can to ensure that the sporting integrity of the SPL is maintained and that overall competition is fair for all clubs.

Boredom does not equal backing off.

Certainly can't be taken out of the team after today's performance. The key will be whether he can keep it going.

It's rhyming slang.

It fucking stinks. A director who is complicit in the mess they're in, being lined up to buy them back. What a load of pish.

Finally watched the debate. I take my hat off to Pressley, he's not the utter cunt I thought he was and spoke a lot of sense. Petrie was good too, if only Milne stared (a) some of his views and (b) his ability to string a sentence together. I don't like Neil Doncaster, he can get to fuck with his "you have to strike a balance between what the supporters want and reality" - condescending twat.

I think Rafael might be getting a tea urn thrown at him after this game.

Sounds great that this is happening but why are the chairmen quoted anonymously?
