  1. We'll need to have shots at goal before that is a pressing issue for us
  2. Rumours suggesting we have already sold our initial 12,500 allocation which I would both surprising and pleasing. Sounds like Hibs have sold a bit more aswell so looking like a half respectable crowd
  3. Predictable I know but you would have hoped they could have managed to to fill half the article with more Durrant propaganda. http://www.scotsman.com/news/neil-simpson-touched-as-aberdeen-organise-testimonial-for-eighties-legend-1-2211583
  4. Why are they flying the flag of Nova Scotia?
  5. Absolutely. Anything that encourages the sharing of opinions between fans and the club is to be encouraged.
  6. Is this part of some Jesus complex at Rangers? Will they be resurrected on Easter Sunday and will Alex Thomson doubt their rise from the dead like the sceptic he is?
  7. Started selling tickets in the South Stand apparently which suggests ticket sales already going well.
  8. In or Oot: In Pre-Matcher: My flat apparently Match: North Stand ftw Post Matcher: Where ever the day takes us Prediction: I'd rather not thank you.
  9. I like hampden. You're just miserable

  11. No training facilities are separate and part of Cove's new ground. I was under the impression it was fully funded but from the answers on Saturday that seems less certain.
  12. It will take a massive turn around to get anything against United and 4 straight defeats and no goals heading into a semifinal isn't a nice prospect. Amazing how afc yet again lose alot of goodwill and optimism so quickly after the cup QF. Having said that although we were shite on Sat the whole thing had a end of season, meaningless friendly feel about it. The only real noise from the away end was when Cadger came on. Difference was they had Skacel who could create from very little, we had hee haw. Very disappointed with Pawlett after screaming for him to start for weeks but feel we need to persist in the hope he finds some form soon. Clark and Hughes are a waste of a jersey and Vernon was anonymous. semi final here we come......
  13. Also was asked why we aren't looking at the lower leagues for players instead of England and abroad and Brown said there were no players in the lower leagues of sufficient quality.
  14. An afc roadshow was held after the Hearts game at the Murrayfield Curling Club. In attendance were Willie, Broon and Chris Gavin. Overall I think it was a pretty successful night and certainly went on for a good 2+hours with lots of good questions and discussion. Thought Brown came across pretty well, especially under some fairly critical questioning. Willie and Gavin did ok but got a bit inpatient at times. Think holding it after a game clouded a lot of the early discussion and also meant we'd all had a few more drinks than might have otherwise have been the case, which resulted in a few unnecessary shouting matches, perhaps a chairman was needed to move things on at times. Quite a few interesting points. Uchechi, and to extent Chalali were punts and a mistake. Uchechi in particular seems to have cost us next to nothing and is viewed as a 5-a-side player by Brown and is definitely going. Brown aware of the weaknesses in the team, has new signings identified and will be looking to get, amongst other things, a RB. Willie, Craig and board are very frustrated at poaching of our youth players and are trying their best to work with other clubs to address this. Fyvie will be going despite being advised against this by pretty much everyone at the club. Again commended Jack for wanting to stay. Says the physios blame the number of injuries on the multiple different surfaces we train on each week. Have input from Sports Scientists at RGU, who especially work with the youth team. New training facility was talked about in terms of hopefully getting built in the next year or two which was a bit concerning and with Gavin the only "Director" there any financial questions were disappointingly passed over. Refused to comment on the Rangers situation and on how afc would approach a situation where rangers were liquidated. Seemed surprised when some fans suggested they would stop watching afc if rangers newco were allowed back into the spl. Willie laughed off a suggestion that we should be succession planning for the day Craig and Archie retire as it's not done in football. I'm sure there is more that I have missed but again a productive evening which I hope the club will take some points from. There are tentative plans to hold one of these in Glasgow next season either after a match or preferably on a Monday night.

  16. The evidence they had of letters between Bain and McLelland seemed to suggest his contractual bonus and raise were paid through a EBT which would be illegal (well the not paying tax bit). Question is whether HMRC can prove this and have the evidence to back up the assertion that players and coaches also benefited in this way. Would seem pretty damning to me.
  17. fuck, nae good Always one of the more bearable tims
  18. Osbourne - who we are keeping McArdle - who has improved alot this season and can provide (shaky) cover at RB Mawene - Not necessarily first choice but reasonable squad player Chalali - as feel he could still offer something upfront but wouldn't be too upset if he left (dependant on his replacement) The rest, thanks but
  19. Well never saw that happening, in fact never even knew Bradford had a by-election. Bit of a kick in the balls for Labour going from a safe majority to losing by 10,000. Galloway couldn't even garner more than 7000 votes as a Glasgow list candidate in the 2011 Election and has now gone to Bradford and won 18,000 votes! If Labour are losing by-elections like this it's not looking promising for them going forward:
