  1. Plus the fact that its nice to play the international fixture that started it all 150 years ago. If Scotland can't commemorate 150 in the business, then Aberdeen shouldn't commemorate 1903
  2. Been watching Guillarmo del Toro's "Cabinet of Curiosities" on Netflix. Quite a decent set of horror short stories about death and the darker side of life. Quite enjoying how the show doesn't need to explain why there's a 12 tentacled demon about to devour a guy ... there just is
  3. Must be a bit of geographic tribalism, but I always hang a bit of hope for the North-east teams
  4. My mate who regularly does 150+ games a season around the UK leagues went to the Fort William game. One sided affair, no match day programme. But the pie was exceptional
  5. I don't buy the penalty he gave away vs Hacken. I've watched the replay of it probably half a dozen times now, and he wins the ball every time before Sadiq goes down. Rubi is a bit rough around the edges, but as mentioned earlier he is a good couple of levels above what we saw from Ash Taylor
  6. You'd have to think Jensen might have a bit of in-depth knowledge of Helsinki, perhaps more than we could gather from a recon
  7. I presume Helens valuation of Baccus and our top dollar were miles apart. Shame, we could've done with a Rama replacement who is proven in this league
  8. Hendrick apparently moving to the Championship
  9. Have seen the first 2. I liked that they used the first episode to catch people up who haven't seen the animated SW series. I've struggled with the animated series, indeed only got half way thru the first season of Clone Wars before I got bored. Enjoying Ahsoka, although nothing beats the first two seasons of Mando
  10. I was very late onto The Godfather bandwagon, but I agree I don't see what makes it such an iconic film. I love a good Mafia movie, but I put Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco and Untouchables well above the GF Trilogy. Pesonal opinion though
  11. Agreed. Get him out to the Championship, or maybe one of the League One challengers like Stirling or Hamilton. Give him a chance to shine in a team that can provide consistent chances
  12. Probably too loyal as well. How many jobs did he turn down whilst at Aberdeen? We all know about Sunderland, but there mustve been others
  13. Haven't seen any highlights yet, have only read the Beebs report. One thing that stands out to me, why aren't we rotating the squad? Shouldvr gone with Sokler and Bavidge up front, given Duk and Miovski a rest ahead of Thursday. We have cover in most other areas too, so why does Robbo want to stick with his same usual starting 11 at all costs?
  14. Southampton looking at Miovski as a potential replacement for Che Adams who has moved to Everton. Dons apparently holding out for at least £4M for him, which is well within Southampton's reach. Not sure how I feel about this - £4M is a hell of a lot of money to us, but Miovski is our proven striker. His second half vs Hacken was just top drawer
  15. One of them should grow a Bobby Connor-style tache. Then we can tell the difference
  16. This. Whilst I do give a wee nod in appreciation when Scottish teams notch up a result in European football, I do also give a wee snigger when they get beaten. I really couldn't give two fks for any other team than the Dons - coefficient or not
  17. Richard Jenssen, Finnish international central defender from Gornik Zabrze. Medical apparently done, now just waiting for work permits. He plays on the left, so sounds like our interest in Scales has finnished (sorry, couldn't resist)
  18. People have really been on the fence with this world cup. Some have loved that the women's game is getting such a huge airing and following. Others are bemoaning the lack of quality, likening it to amateur football at best. I've really enjoyed the games I've watched, but one thing really really sticks out. There are very very few international grade goalkeepeers who are capable of saving a shot. I can't figure out if its a genuine lack of talent, or if the ladies simply aren't of a stature that allows them to cover the full face of the goal. In mens football, goalies are predominantly towering lumps. But in the women's game, they regularly seem to be either lacking in height, or flexibility, or both
  19. Didn't see the game, but read a few reports. The one comment that stands out is Robson commenting on Albions decision not to water the pitch, thus reducing our opportunities to run it. I'm sorry, but we are a pro team who until recently used to train at Balgownie. We should be able to adapt our game to different pitch conditions fairly easily. If all it takes to have us struggling is to forget to water the pitch, we are gonna struggle this season away from home
  20. I'd be surprised if Roos moves on soon. His missus Nadine Hanssen only signed for the Dons Women recently. His family are fairly settled here. I'd be happy if he extended his contract. Polvara however.... I'm in the wait & see camp. Yes he's been better so far this season, but he's still below the standard I'd expect. Would he get into our 2014-2017 teams? Cos those teams are the standard I expect
  21. Japan have been technically excellent for some time but have lacked a spark of creativity required to get wins regularly. They found this spark in Miyazawa who is just an exceptional talent.
  22. Huge shame. He brought so many celebs to our living rooms, arguably the guy who introduced us all to Billy Connolly
  23. Are they? COVID set us back a bit, but Dave has said multiple times we don't need to sell. Selling Ramadani to me sounds like a price came in for him that we simply didn't see coming, and was well above our own internal valuation of him. Ramsay and Fergies sales would've somewhat offset our COVID debt, maybe someone closer to our finances can advise whether they are indeed limited
  24. Alex Notman. Was brilliant for the 18 seconds he was here
  25. EE saying we have accepted a £1.1M bid from Lecce for Ramadani. Considering we paid ~£100k for him a year ago, that's not a bad return
