I see he is being used by the SFA to advertise the mini-tournament:

Stewart is, and always has been, an utter cunt. Despite yet again drawing, I'm encouraged by the feedback from the folk who were at the game. It's great to have some decent youngsters coming through again (after what seems like eons) and players like Pawlett and Aluko who you actually look forward to watching. Can't get to a game till the middle of next month, so here's hoping that we have learnt how to turn draws into wins by then

1st Division looks pretty exciting this year, although presumably Dundee will be the only ones with the resources to keep up their good form. Also good to see Airdrie suffering at the bottom: 1 Ross County 10 4 20 2 Dundee 10 5 19 3 Partick Thistle 10 9 18 4 Raith 10 6 18 5 Queen of Sth 10 7 17 6 Inverness CT 10 0 13 7 Dunfermline 10 -3 11 8 Morton 10 -12 9 9 Ayr 10 -8 7 10 Airdrie Utd 10 -8 4

1 Rangers 8 9 18 2 Celtic 8 8 17 3 Hibernian 8 6 16 4 Dundee Utd 8 3 13 5 Motherwell 8 2 13 6 Aberdeen 8 2 11 7 St Mirren 8 0 11 8 Hearts 8 -3 8 9 Kilmarnock 8 -2 6 10 St Johnstone 8 -6 6 11 Hamilton 8 -10 5 12 Falkirk 8 -9 3 Middle of the table is tight as fuck. Will be a bit of a battle for top 4/6 this season, esp as presumably hibs will implode after christmas and hearts will pick things up. Shame we seem to be going for a record number of draws in an SPL season otherwise we surely would be pretty confident. Interesting that the radio suggested that our only real driving force and invention came from the youngsters and that we we much poorer after Paton and Pawlett went off. Time for the "senior pros" to get the finger out

Samuel races clear of the Rangers defence to latch onto Murray Davidson's through ball and the striker shows great composure to slide the ball under Allan McGregor. 1246: GOAL: St Johnstone 1-0 Rangers (Collin Samuel)

Squad, as ever, looks paper thin. Bit anxious about losing Ilfil but see no reason why we can't win. They key, as usual, will be if Kerr and McDonald turn up and if Miller has remembered how to play football.

Is this an ICF only affair?

I see the cunt is back at his best.....speaking utter shite:

Series 7, Curb Your Enthusiasm, shamefully hidden away on More4 at 2255 tonight

Will they not be the only ones in attendance? I understand these fuckwits will be protesting down by the Clyde somewhere near the Central Mosque. There will be an anti-fascist protest held in George Square at the same time.

just read this on Mad: I like

tbh is Miller's wage is correct it is too much but he does seem to be doing a decent job of sorting out our youth set up. Talking of which has anyone been reading the articles of redweb about the Youth and Community set up? Just found them the other day and makes for interesting reading: Community set up: http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/community/0,,10284~1786784,00.html Community set up and links into Academy set up: http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/community/0,,10284~1799203,00.html Youth Scouts http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/clubNewsDetail/0,,10284~1822038,00.html

I don't think I'd ever want Aberdeen to play in England....an away tie at Plymouth, no thanks. Furthermore it would almost definitely result in an end to any real Scottish identity in Football. No National side, a Scottish Cup played infront of a handful of folk by the rump of the Scottish set up, not good enough to make it down south....it would be miserable. I used to look forward to the day that the OF fucked off, but that just ain't ever going to happen. And if it did I tend to think it would be the start of a slippery slope that would end up with the above. At best we would have a league that had 4 instead of 2 sides sharing the trophies while every fan of a Socttish League side also supported their big team, Celtic or Rangers, in the EPL/Euro League/Atlantic League/Intergalatic League/Lawell's Fantasy league. Of course none of this is going to happen and the press really need to get a bit more critical with Lawell (and Bain) when they come out with this crap. They are, and will be for many years to come, part of the SPL. Running to the press twice a year exlaiming "this league is crap get us out of here" will do absolutely nothing to attract new fans or sponsors to the game. Given their main complaint is lack of cash they are shooting themselves in the foot. If they really want an improved league set up then we should go back to shared gates and a more equitable split of TV money. But that, much like Lawell's fucking fantasy will never happen.

1718: What an incredible start... The Ukraine fans greet the kick-off by lobbing a load of lit flares into Rob Green's penalty area. The referee has no option but to stop the game as smoke billows across the Dnipro Stadium. Madness. 1729: PENALTY TO UKRAINE 1730: RED CARD England (Rob Green) 1732: Shambles, absolute shambles. Horrible mistake by Rio Ferdinand gives Artem Milevskiy a clean run on goal, and he pokes the ball past Rob Green and draws the foul. Clear penalty for Ukraine, and Green - largely thanks to Ferdinand's moment of madness - is sent off. 1732: MISSED PENALTY Ukraine 0-0 England 1733: David James comes on for the unfortunate Aaron Lennon, another player who might be cursing Rio Ferdinand right now. James goes the wrong way for the penalty but Andriy Shevchenko's effort clips the outside of his left-hand post. A huge let-off for England. Cue more flare-throwing. 1746: GOAL Ukraine 1-0 England Ukraine goal: Glen Johnson gets in a decent tackle on the edge of the area but the ball comes out to Sergiy Nazarenko, whose ferocious shot comes off Ashley Cole (I think) to beat David James.

scotland u21 v germany u21 must be a contender

it is a fan's view, doubt it is meant to be balanced

fae mad: ABERDEEN Why should it come as any surprise that Lee McCulloch's elbow in 20-year-old Michael Paton's face is already in the process of being swept under the carpet? Perhaps it is because we recklessly believed Gordon Smith when he insisted he wishes to stamp out cheating. Maybe it is because we thought the match referee would pay no heed to Walter Smith and Kenny Miller whining like babies to the ever-OF-accommodating media about referees picking on them this season. Hang on you manipulative scum — maybe they're just doing their job, and your players are simply breaking the rules. Just a thought. McCulloch's assault was completely ignored in the BBC highlights, and has had scant coverage in the papers. If an Aberdeen player had done the same to Rangers' overhyped starlet John Fleck though, can you imagine the uproar and recriminations? This near-total blanking of the incident seems less like an accident and more like propoganda, and compared to the delighted cheerleading of messrs Smith and Miller last week, it resembles a media blackout. Or should I say, whitewash. Mark McGhee shrugged McCulloch's attack off as character-building for the excellent young striker; perhaps because he is astutely aware — unlike Craig Levein and Vladimir Romanov, to name just two recent examples — that there's no point in moaning retrospectively about the Old Firm's grip of Scottish football's governance and media. It will never change. But also, of course, because it will be character-building for the lad, and it certainly didn't stop him making mincemeat of Scotland international Steven Whittaker time and time again during the remainder of the 90. I suppose the McCulloch elbow can merely be added to the 'to-be-ignored' list of the Ibrox club's felonies in Dons-Rangers encounters that remain notable by their absence in the oft-repeated Aberdeen-biased 'hate lists' printed by the tabloids — and, shamefully, by the Scotsman, a supposed quality newspaper, on Saturday — alongside everything from Willie Johnston's stamp on John McMaster's throat in 1979 to Kyle Lafferty's despicable cheating to get Charlie Mulgrew sent off only a few months ago. "Scottish football's rubbish and it's the SFA's fault," laughed Gordon Smith, tongue in cheek, at a debate into the future of the game at Stirling University yesterday. He went on to blame chronic negativity throughout Scottish society as one of the main problems faced by Scottish football. Maybe, Gordon, one of the reasons that non-Old Firm fans are chronically negative is because there is not a fair playing field in Scottish football — and that IS the SFA's fault, for having no balls to do anything about it. See the edited version of this article and those from other SPL clubs' fans at: http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/SPL-fanzone.5689063.jp, and in The Scotsman newspaper every Wednesday during the season.

I know, what kind of name is Shane Rook?

yup just saw your post on Mad and posted in the Rangers v Aberdeen thread. What a stinking pile of shite, but why expect anything else

oh dear god. I (used) to expect more from the Scotsman: Rangers vs Aberdeen: Ugly moments in powder-keg grudge match http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Rangers-vs-Aberdeen-Ugly-moments.5681324.jp

Is he playing tomorrow? EDIT: Don't look like: Hit list: Rangers (from): McGregor, Whittaker, Bougherra, Weir, Smith, Rothen, Novo, Thomson, Davis, Boyd, McCulloch, Naismith, Miller, Alexander, Fleck, Wilson, Little, Beasley.

If we can't win let's atleast kill a few of the tinks. Starting with Boyd.

Was winter a striker?

Aberdeen supporters are advised that that Woodville pub (used to be called Albion Bar) at the Broomloan Road end of the ground is still closed therefore there are no pubs beside the stadium for Aberdeen fans to visit before the game. Aberdeen supporters will be held back as usual for a few minutes after the game. Thank you for your co-operation with this. The car park for Aberdeen fans is clearly sign posted AWAY SUPPORT. Cost £10 for buses and £7 for cars.
