Bugger. I thought Ansbro looked really promising in the opening two games of the World Cup. The only back that seemed capable of running at an angle ... which succeeded in confusing the opposition, and leading to him crossing the line a couple of times.

I think Dazzler would rather go on the dole than sign for those Div3 minkers!

The talk about easter road is very pertinent: http://goo.gl/maps/3cmsR The ground that Easter Road sits on is arguably no bigger (possibly even smaller!!) than the ground that Pittodrie sits on. We've got a whackin big carpark to the north of us, and another odd-shaped carpark and hill-area to the south-east of the stadium. Seriously, what is wrong with redeveloping that area over the space of a year? If Caley Thistle can relocate to Pittodrie for a season, surely we can relocate to Tulloch Stadium, Dens Park or East End Park for a few months whilst our "Construction Firm Chairman" gets the stadium rebuilt on the current land that we already own. What grates me is that a seperate business dedicated to the relocation of the club actually separated itself from Aberdeen Football Club 2 or 3 years ago. Seriously, what the hell have this company done over the past few years? They've failed to deliver the stadium in time for the start of the 2013-14 season; they've failed to secure enough backing to support the training facilities at Calder Park; they've failed to even consider Plan-B

I loved the first couple of seasons of Lost. Then they started covering brand new ground without explaining shit in the previous episodes, and there were so many subplots within subplots going on, it was bloody difficult to follow. I lost interest, so stopped watching it after season2. Then in the lead-up to the third-last episode, one of the TV channels over here did an entire show catchup over the space of three hours ... was brilliant! 68 seasons of confusion, all wrapped up in 3 hours. I actually enjoyed the final three episodes, but have to admit that I'm pretty sure the writers wrote the first season ... and then really didn't have a clue what they were doing so just started writing episodes in the hope that the show would go somewhere...

Yup, www.movie2k.to is the streaming site I use. Not many mainstream movies that aren't on there. If its available on DVD, then it'll stream at DVD quality!

Agreed. We are already sitting on a few million quid of real-estate at Pittodrie. I refuse to believe that upgrading the existing Pittodrie is more expensive than acquiring brand new land and building a whole new stadium. With a bit of ingenuity and thinking, Pittodrie can be brought uptodate to UEFA standards piece-by-piece over the space of two or three seasons. Hell, I've long thought that creating a tunnel under an expanded Main Stand to allow for pittodrie street would work - would only really encroach on that carpark that we already own. We could even apply to CLOSE Pittodrie Street, forcing all cars that want to move that way to go down Pittodrie Place instead. Road reconstructions and complete road closures happen for new Shopping Centres all the time. Why not a sports complex?

One of the funniest I've heard recently was from Milton Jones: The worst job I ever had was as a forensic pathologist for the United Nations. One time I stumbled across the mass grave of a thousand snowmen. Fortunately it turned out it was just a field of carrots.

Right, that's it. Only thing left to do is to move Aberdeen FC to Stonehaven.

These are the best video highlights I've seen for many many a year. Living in NZ, my passion for the Dons has dropped dramatically over the past few years because it was just so friggin difficult to find the games online (actually easier to find online TV coverage than to find radio coverage!!). I tried RedTV for half a season, but it was a shambles, tbh - poor camera angles, poor commentary, poor streaming to the other side of the world. The YouTube channel is bloody brilliant. I can now watch extended highlights from ALL the games at a time that is sensible in NZ :-) Starting to enjoy the Dons again for the first time since we were in Europe vs Copenhagen, Bayern, Dnipro, etc.

Does Milsom want to leave?

Just saw the highlights of the Ross County vs Celtic game. County look a solid, adventurous side. Brittain seems to have found his mojo again ... still cannae believe he's playing. Wasn't he Livi's star player when they were in the SPL 11 years ago??

Saw absolutely nothing wrong with those two Vernon goals. Two excellent goals that the linesman simply failed to keep up with, so wrongly chopped off :-(

YouTube embedding is working again. You''ll still need to sandwich (mmmm) the link with [ youtube] and [ /youtube ] (without spaces).

Hmmmm. Same players who played well against the Tims. Hope Vernon isn't settling for a mediocre season already!

I can hear the song now: "Oh Simmy Simmie!"

Yeah, might pay to just doublecheck your personal settings on DT. They may well have changed after the upgrade.

There's nothing on it! What a waste of tax-payers money!!!! Fffffft.

We'll need to be careful with these "corporate" games ... don't wanna be seen as the club who bitumen-y corporate hands off.

What's happening now (or not)?

Yup. Known issue since we upgraded the entire site about 12 hours ago. We're working on it ...

Agreed. Anderson was steady as a rock, Osborne was in the thick of pretty much everything. I felt Rae struggled with Celtic's pace a bit, but really showed his experience in some situations ... he conceded a free-kick on the edge of the area when Celtic were charging through to a three-on-one situation, giving us a chance to defend the freekick with our entire team than commit suicide with just one player. Vernon did nothing. McGinn was smothered by the Celtic defence, and I thought Hayes showed in glimpses what he is capable of. But no amount of tricky saves can make up for that calamity by Langfield. Must be Brown in goals next week!

If every team in the SPL can raise their game against the tattie howkers, they've surely got to slip up somewhere. Can't play 38 Cup Finals, surely! Judging by their performances in pre-season, i don't think they're gonna be too difficult to beat compared to previous seasons. Now, can someone else keep the pace with them for the duration of the entire season?

It's not that big a point really. The kiwis are just happy to get some gold medals. Not sure where the Aussies are gonna get their medals from, though. Usually they rely on the swimming pool to get most of their medals, but they've been shite in the swimming pool this year

That's why I said one train-change! If you take two trains, you change trains once. If you take one train, you don't have to change! ;-)
