Scotsman reporting bid has been rejected along with one from Peterborough for £750k. Suspect the second bid puts us out of the running.

To big a queue when I got there so never bothered. Still regretting it now.

From the new guys was impressed with Forrester who looks like he can play and he made some great passes. Gleeson was neat and tidy with the ball and rarely gave it away. Always making himself available to receive the ball. Lewis Ferguson also looked good. Made some decent runs and obviously scored. Of the games itself I know it was preseason but concern was we again created very little and outside the goal rarely troubled the Falkirk keeper. Not helped by having Cosgrove as the main striker. Cannot fault his work rate but he is not a footballer and rarely got himself into positions where he could hurt Falkirk. First time I have ever been to Arbroath and not come away with at least mild hypothermia.

Which Stand was that for?

For anyone going tonight the prices are as follows: Adults - £10 Conc - £5 Dons fans are in the Pleasureland end of the ground. 1930 kick off.

Going to head up tomorrow to see what new lads look like. Was hoping we would have more in by now but looks like we have missed out on a couple of targets recently so are playing catch up now. Falkirk should provide a decent test. Hopefully Arbroath have the steak and black pudding pies on the go. In Lift up then hopefully pint across the road from ground. Halfway line Lift down the road Hopefully a Dons win.

McGeouch signs for Sunderland. Big loss to Hibs and hopefully means we can move on from him and get to building our squad for this season. Fully expect us to be continually linked with him like we are with Moult however. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dylan-mcgeouch-completes-sunderland-move-12838693

Season ticket for 2 years plus premium DNA purchased before last Friday is 140 points at a minimum which would put you into phase 3.

When you sign up you get an email that say funds are split as follows: FIRST TEAM Directly supporting the Football Management Team’s budget by investing in the recruitment, development and retention of top talent to allow us to continue to compete and win at the highest levels. YOUTH ACADEMY Enhancing the AFC Youth Academy’s ability to identify, recruit, develop and inspire local young talent by creating experiences which will prepare young players for first team football. CREATING A HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENT To create a best-in-class Football Medicine, Sports Science and Performance Analysis support structure for all professional and Youth Academy players, ensuring they are as well equipped as they can be. As you can see it is quite woolly and definitely not a guarantee that money is going to first team only. Edit: could even argue that last bit opens door for funds to be diverted to Kingsford.

Croats always seem to have a piss poor performance in them. Usually sees them going out but not this time. They will not play as badly again and have got to fancy their chances of making the final.

Dons played their first pre season game today against Cohn Ramblers winning 1-0. Forrester with goal for Dons.

Kenny Miller appointed Livingston manager. Happy as that means the cunt is not going to sign for us.

Basically you need to have bought DNA as well as season ticket for last 2 years to get a ticket in first 3 phases.

Ticket details for the away leg announced. https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/06/29/uefa-europa-league-second-qualifying-round-2nd-leg-information/ Looks like pub for me.

Don’t know how true it is but have heard It said McInnes is not keen on working with players from outside UK or Ireland.

Didn't set the heather on fire while on loan at Bristol last season. Would rather we gave own youngsters game time than going in to loan markets again.

Schalk always seemed to play well in the games against us. Would be happy if we signed him. Offers something different to our current strikers.

Not 1 right today.

What a goal from Germany. Took some balls to strike a free kick like that in last minute. Gary Neville’s face was tripping him when they cut back the studio.

I would have thought the would make an insultingly low bid for McGinn.

I thought he had signed for Hamilton.

Armstrong from Celtic to Southampton for £7m. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/football/44584238

Confirmed on AFC website. Prices for away leg as follows: Adults: £25 Over 65 & Under 22: £15 Under 18: £10 Kick off now provisionally 1945 for both games which means I have booked half 9 train for no reason.

Definitely seems that way. Going to be very difficult for supporters clubs to run buses if they cannot guarantee folk tickets. Also makes it impossible to sit with your mates if everyone has different loyalty points.

Should be fine wearing colours. Usually see away fans drinking in town before the games even the Plastics. Only exception these days is Tribute Act fans but that’s usually down to their scummy behaviour. Basically don’t act the cunt and you should have a great trip. Plenty good bars in Aberdeen.
