And how the f is that news?

Either way, its a potential banan skin. Queens Park have just beaten the former second tier winners (i would've expected more from such a prestigious club against Scotland's newcomers). Or the potential bananaskin of a rudderless Wales who are in their worst ever world ranking position. It's these sorts of games both Aberdeen and Scotland loves to lose

There's news around that SF 49ers' investment wing is expected to close out a takeover of The Rangers 2012 FC, including all debts owed to John Bennett, by June this year. The deal is expected to be similar to that which saw them takeover Leeds Utd two years ago

What happened? I read that article, but it's not plainly clear what it was that the family were aggrieved about. Was the funeral too focussed on Jimmy's footballing life?

I watched the highlights of the Killie StJ game. They look handy, the lad Wales especially - he peppered shots at goal at every opportunity. And the lad Murray scored an absolute screamer of a free kick that was second only to Keskinen's belter. But they were up against the worst StJ team I've seen in years. I'm cautiously optimistic we can get a result here. Won't be easy, but I'm going for 3-2 win - Gueye, Nisbet, Jensen

Shinnie for me has at most a season left in him. I don't think that warrants captaincy on its own. Anderson was different, as he was still playing to a high standard when he retired. Shinnie is still magic but only in glimpses. I'm of the view the captain needs to be in this order (a) dominant, (b) consistent, (c) experienced, (d) an outfield player, (e) scottish. I'm not too fussed about (e) so long as they have the other 4 traits in spades. I was checking whilst writing this, is Joe Lewis really our only season-long non-Scottish captain? Anthony Stewart was captain for the game and a half it took us to figure out he was rubbish, so I'm not counting him

Cbeebies?

Spurs podcast is questioning why Dorrington has only appeared 4 times and started once. The podcast is suggesting Dorrington is our best defender. https://tothelaneandback.com/2025/02/16/john-wenham-frustrated-with-alfie-dorrington-aberdeen-situation/ Sorry, but from what I've seen and read, Dorrington is just not good enough. Notably the defence weakened when he came on vs Dunfermline. What's the thoughts of you guys who get to see him live in games? Are Spurs fans right to question his lack of game time, or is he just not that good?

Well it's either Scottish quality going down or Irish quality going up. Mind you, we've got a good track record from the Irish players who've played for us

Quite enjoyed Sunstance. After watching and thoroughly enjoying Last Voyage Of The Demeter, which is from one of the chapters of Dracula, me and the missus went to the cinema for first time in donkeys to see the remake of Nosferatu. I absolutely love the OG version, but this remake was gash! Lily-Rose Depp has all the on-screen emotions of a sack of tatties. Tonight, we are gonna watch the remake of All Quiet On The Western Front

I think it's a telling sign of how shit Scottish football is when our first win in 15 games puts us into 3rd place

"Thank fuck", Kevin Nisbet 2025. Nice to wake up to a win in the league. The highlights were rubbish, but I saw from Aaron Jones' coverage that Dabbagh had a chance saved. How'd he go in his first outing?

Imagine if they lost to the league's newest team

Despite ref Callum Scott awarding the penalty 2 minutes after extra time was up, and STILL allowing two more corners to be played - I'm surprised he didn't try and head the ball into the net himself. Gotta say the lad Ferrie was absolutely outstanding in goals for Queens Park. And oor Ryan Duncan put in a decent shift too

Shit, feels like Fyvie left us when Darren Mackie was still scoring with his erse
