Ah ok, thanks, might look into it.

I'm starting to think that its too much effort just to see Aberdeen play Ayr.

Oh, Ah well, not going to that game then.

Um, to rephrase, how do you get there using public transport from Aberdeen?

Against Ayr? How do you get to their ground?

Miller, one of the few players to play as you would expect him to. Mackie played well when he came on, but made a couple of bad decisions in the box. Diamond played alright when he came on too I thought.

Foster. Jamie Smith had a bad game, but not quite as bad as Foster's.

Went from top to bottom after one game. Doubt that happens often. As for the attendance, it wasn't great, but better than I expected on a very rainy Saturday, still during prime holiday time against a team that finished in the bottom 6 last season.

I don't think Aberdeen were terrible from start to finish, the first ten minutes I was sitting there impressed, then it all went wrong. Main problem with Aberdeens performance today was that their passing was shite, and they were too slow. Worst player was by far Foster, he made way too many inacurate passes. Jamie Smith had probably the worse performance I've ever seen him have and Severin was terrible in defence. Why wasn't Diamond on from the start? He seemed like the one player on the pitch when he came on who looked like he actually wanted to win. Kerr played alright, and Miller played as you can expect. De Vischer who I normally don't like seemed to fit in well, but the other players were unbelievably bad. Mackie seemed to be playing well until he was in the box, where he suddenly seemed to turn to shite.

I love hearing the chants of 'We Want Six'. I almost forgot how bad that challenge was, but everyone in Scotland knows how dirty a player he is.

Yes I probably am. I hate seeing money go to waste, and would rather go to two games for £40 than one for £21.

Its not a case of investment or anything like that, its a case of, 'well I've already sort of spent a pound on the next game, might as well pay the other £19 to see it'. Its not as if you are losing £19, you get to see another football game out of it. I did study economics but dropped it.

Personally If I felt I was losing a pound by not going to two matches I'd certainly go claim back the pound. It's like paying a pound towards your next ticket, then not going to the next game.

It will be an insentive. If they go to an OF game they obviously like football and support Aberdeen, and it may only be a pound, but it might just be enough for them to think they might as well go to the next game.

I'm glad of that. It could also act as an insentive for those fans who only seem to turn up for OF matches to go to the next home game to get back the pound.

I asked in the shop on Bridge street, apparently they are on sale, but they sold out pretty much instantly because they were more popular than the actual away strip. More will be avaliable next week.

When is the draw?

Ahh, why not: 1 Celtic 2 Aberdeen 3 Hearts 4 Rangers 5 Dundee United 6 Falkirk --------- 7 Hibs 8 Motherwell 9 ICT 10 Hamilton 11 Kilmarnock --------- 12 St Mirren

2nd and/or the Scottish Cup would be succesful. 3rd and no Cup is what I expect. 4th and no Cup is a disapointment.

St Johnstone. Just because I have a strangely high amount of mates who support them so I'd love them to play again.

Refs are getting £800 a match until September when it will be under review. Hmm.

Examples from Norway just seem to have been popping up everywhere the last week or so in things I've been reading.

£800 is what I read. Also heard they are apparently using Norway as an example, as they get £1,200 or something. Why are Scots obsessed with Norway right now?

Eurgh, been waiting that long for football again last thing I want is it potentially being postponed. Anyway, £500 for two hours work? Maybe I chose the wrong career path.

Maybe e-mailing them isn't the answer, but good old visual fan protest.
