No. An omen for the season re:Brownie's post.

Well let's hope that's an omen.

Have the team wore it yet?

£400 / 12 = £33 quid Not really much considering you'll pay more than that to subscribe to Sky each month, which is by and large shite. I'm actually struggling to think what else you could do for £33/month to entertain yourself a few times per week? A few trips to the cinema? A couple CDs? Some hardback books? A curry and a couple beers? Fuck, I almost feel guilty for being that into AFC and only paying less than £20/month.

Ah ok, that wasn't me being pedantic, I genuinely am a bit flustered at trying to see the game! Have been racking my brains trying to work out if INRO was an acronym! Irish News Regional O........ Ireland's National Reception O....... Hahaha! Neep! What channel number is Setanta Ireland?

Is Bamba still on our books? If not, sign him. Again(?)

Doesn't look good and I just can't see past us getting pumped. Too many players out injured and those that are 50-50 aren't going to throw themselves about, in case they miss the glamour tie against Bayern. Couple that with our inconsistancy and you've got a recipe for disaster. The only way we'll get through is if they pull a performance out of the bag like the other cup ties. If they do then there's no doubting, their win bonuses must be decent.

What's the 'inro' button just so I don't look like a dickhead when I tell the barman to push it?! The lad upstairs from me has just moved out his apartment and has taken his wireless network with him which I've flawlessly been using for the past 6 months. Too short notice to get my own installed and the other networks in range are just too unreliable. So I'm off to the pub which'll hopefully be showing it. "One orange juice and push the 'inro' button whilst you're at it!"

Fair enough there maybe a few people absolutely hammered but nobody is going to fuck around with the driver and if they did someone would put them on their arse pretty sharpish. As always they are going about it all wrong. If you want to stop people getting hammered then just stop them getting into the grounds if they're too drunk. You'd certainly limit the amount you drank the next time you travelled to an away ground if you were left out in the cold the last time. Why the fuck should I be denied a few cans on a long journey just because another bus load of idiots turn up steamboats on fortified wine? Would be interested to know if any of the buses get stopped on their way north. Although I very much doubt they do.

They'd probably not bother to pull you over let alone putting up road blocks. What's the deal with hen parties flying around city centres in limos, drinking fizzy wine then? Bus journeys are boring enough and pretty well self-policed from what I've witnessed no matter how much drink was flying about.

Just get ripped to the tits on drugs and you'll sail. Seems to work for junkies trawling the streets each day. Drinking on your way to football after a day at work...... Lock em up I say.

Watched 'A Guide To Recognising Your Saints' at the weekend. The guy who wrote the book actually directed the film, which I quite enjoyed. Nothing mind blowing, just a nice little tale of a guy growing up in a tough neighbourhood in New York. Starred Robert Downey Jr and a young Scottish actor from Greenock. Both worth filing in the "worth a look" pile.

Thought I'd ressurect this thread to see if anyone's read anything of note recently. I'm still struggling on with Catch-22 which really is quite funny but very, very difficult to read for some reason. About a chapter at a time is about all I can manage. Thought about picking up other books in the meantime but I'm stubborn, so I'm going to persevere with it until it's finished.

OK, cheers.

Nanny state for the non-criminals. On the way down to one of the cup finals I was dragged off a bus for being "heavily under the influence of alcohol". They'd boarded the bus and pulled anyone who looked pished, even although I hadn't said a peep until they asked where my drink was. Told them I'd been hammered the night before and had slept from the time I'd been picked up by the bus at 9am until the cunts had decided to drag me off the bus by the scruff of the neck. Which was in fact true. The lad next to me had his full carry-out taken off him although his receipt stated that it was all still there and he hadn't touched a drop. Said he wanted to enjoy the game then celebrate afterwards and asked how he was going to get his shopping home from Tescos if he wasn't allowed unopened alcohol on a bus. Drink went straight in the van and we all were sent packing in a bad mood before we even got to Glasgow. Had we been drinking then we'd have been in high spirits. Fucking joke of a law.

Can someone explain these statistics to me: Aberdeen have came up against Dundee Utd at the semi final stage on five occasions with Aberdeen holding the edge. The Dons successes came in 1985, 1988 and again in 2000. Aberdeen wins draws Dundee United wins League Cup 9 5 9

It's definitely his concentration that lets him down, whereas Zander seems to shine when he doesn't get time to think about things.

The problem is that I don't think any of our youngsters will be farmed out to the lower league teams unless we want them off the books (Jamie Winter). We're just too short staffed at the club teamwise. Shame really as it really would be good to put a rocked up some arses.

Maguire definitely needs dropped to somewhere in the highland league to make or break him. A season of getting the shit kicked out of him will hopefully toughen him up. If not then he'll disappear like Michie, Gillies, Buchan, et al.

Decided I'm going to watch this in the house on Redtv just to be on the safe side.

Maybe if you didn't fuck off at halftime each week, your opinions on "talking up the game, team and SPL" might bare more weight?

Well you've got to get your priorities right. Look at it this way, one is just a long drawn out soap opera with a bunch of spotty kids running around and the other is an Aussie tv programme.

What the fuck happens from week to week?

No. It makes you the chairman of our club.

News to me too. It's going to turn in to a transfer stramash everytime someone famous is admitted to hospital. Could have this wrapped up by the end of the week if you keep you're ear to the ground. If so, I've got three celebs earmarked who've all been rushed in this week.
