Tyrant

Also happen to know that he absolutely cleans up on Tinder up here.

"Surplus to requirements" according to the BBC Gossip column today. (Along with Ruby, Jensen, Ambrose and Sokler.)

Can be embarrassing going around Europe with AFC because this flag is usually prominently placed. And the apologists are going "It's nae political!". It clearly is and this bollocks belongs at Ibrox. And when folk do express their disdain they're greeted with threats of physical violence or more than just threats if one story from Rovaniemi is to be believed.

I don't mind the collar part. It's the rest of it that's a bit meh.

The Good Doctor. 3 seasons in. Nae too bad so far.

That was nae too bad a day oot.

Whenever you hear "Don't make it political" it's usually from a mental right-winger whose whole personality is being a mental right-winger. McInnes' policy of signing British and Irish players is all well and good. I understood why he did it but we were still getting smashed by the old firm regularly and more annoyingly (in my opinion) never trying to do anything against them. Jimmy has overseen a few hidings already but we take the game to them more which I'll always prefer. If you're going to go down you might as well go down swinging etc. I don't understand the issue with the players' nationalities. We had Considine for most of his career. A fine servant to our club. Spineless? I wouldn't describe him as such but 9 times out of 10 he came out second best against the better teams. Exposed for pace and a fair few red cards. Spineless? No. Just didn't have the quality required. Even though he wasn't foreign shite. I'm worried that McInnes might do quite well at Hearts. Although for their sake I hope he gets more out of Shankland (Scottish shite) for Hearts than he did for Aberdeen. Never a better example of a one season wonder!

I'll be on my way back up the road by half time.

He's in the latest season of Peaky Blinders too. Plays a football ref that refuses to be corrupted. Dons fan in real life seemingly. Wonder if he managed to get a SC final ticket.

Doohan can go. Safe to say I won't be losing much sleep about that.

Doesn't look anywhere near fully over the line to me.

I caught "Ref Watch" on SSN yesterday. They included the "incident" where a free kick was awarded to Aberdeen after a brief goalmouth scramble for a foul on Mitov I think. Dermot Gallagher seemed to be of the opinion that there was no foul and that the "goal should have stood" (possibly paraphrasing) but for a goal to stand the ball would first have to cross the line and it seemed pretty clear to me from the replay from behind the goal that the whole ball wasn't even close to crossing the line. Fuds.

I liked his remark about the Hampden attendance being vice-versa had the tie been played in Peterheid and he absolutely must push for a 50/50 ticket split. It is of course an absolute disgrace that any club out with the arse cheeks has to "push" for equality at a so called neutral venue. Whoever makes it to a final should be given every opportunity to sell half. That should be the default situation.

Easy for me to say as a fan but selling off your sporting advantage of being the home side isn't something that's worth it in my opinion. The double away section that the bigots used to get at Pittodrie seems unthinkable now and not just because we're selling more tickets to home fans. Even if we weren't I would rather have those seats empty than fill them with away fans that may help give our opponents any sort of boost. Fuck that. If I were a J I would indeed be raging. The only sort of mitigating circumstance that I could think of would be if the club (like ICT for example) are fighting for their very existence which, as far as I know no club in the top division is.

Don't agree that he rode his luck. No fouls that he committed on Saturday were worthy of more than the single yellow card that he got. Motherwell players hitting the deck as soon as they're within spitting distance of Gueye doesn't constitute him riding his luck IMO. I thought Gueye was good at the weekend. I do note that I appear to be in the minority there right enough. I thought his play was mostly tidy and he causes defenders problems. And as you say I think we might need his physicality.
