Good signing that. Does what he can do well and keeps himself fit. Hibs will likely think they can do better, before signing someone shiter.

Should be playing at Peterhead tonight

At least our only friendly is still going ahead......

Job-share with Shinnie?

McInnes signs McRorie. Classic McInnes.

It's every player's dream to play in the league cup group stages. The Sun have picked up the bait too, and they've never been wrong about a transfer story, they only ever print stuff when they've checked with at least five reliable sources I believe.

Massive dandy apparently.

That drop of the shoulder was just immense. I can only assume that he grew up watching videos of Niall McGinn.

We'll be fine. Miovski with a hat trick in each group game, before leaving for £8M.

Standing? At a football game? Are we animals?

Never have I seen a case of a manager not reading the room as much as when Goodwin punted him (in fairness to Goodwin, he did admit his error). Given the absolute dross we replaced Considine with, he'd have easily had another 30-40 games under his belt. Instead, we chose to develop a Tim. A complete professional throughout his career, and massively underrated by our own fans - many were never able to let go his performances as a youngster in his first few years, despite defenders almost always taking longer to mature. His work ethic and fitness were top notch, he covered a lot of ground in games (especially at left back), which was never really recognised. Also more than happy with the ball at his feet. Hopefully Molloy, Milne, MacKenzie etc can emulate him in the coming seasons.

Not a great game. Like a lot of these, tired and cagey seems to be the order of the day. Didn't think the Swiss would hold on. What is it with professional managers watching their team play absolute dross and then wait until a goal is scored before making subs? Is it taught?

Some game like. The Germans better team, but the Spaniards great on the break. Olmo some player. Could probably do it on a Tuesday night in Dundee if Thelin wants to take a punt.

Spain v Germany a great game so far. Spain dominated, then dropped off after the subs. The Germans going full tilt and got the deserved goal. Germany probably favourite.

Yep, a proper football match, with a ref that didn't give freekicks every time someone fell down. Great game. Turks deserved winners.

Are Spain the only team that isn't absolutely fucked in this tournament? Everyone seems to be out on their arses. Maybe reduce the games to eighty minutes for the remainder of the tournament.

Yamal's a mattress

VAR needs those decisions though. If it didn't have the make believe handballs and the offsides to a tenth of a millimetre then it'd be in the same boat as goal-line technology, in that it'd only be affecting five decisions a season so nobody would buy it outside the big leagues. There are very few clear and obvious errors. The Porteous decision is the only one I can think of so far in the tournament. Previously there would have been a red administered after the game for that - not the end of the world.

Shame it didn't take out VAR.

Deal as good as done.

Bayley is one of the best strikers in the league, and the Dons aren't a proper full time team yet. Hearts are probably 2-3 seasons ahead of where the Dons are, so definitely a better club for progressing. The jambo scum were allowing her time to finish her studies, while being full time. She'll end up playing for Scotland in time I expect. Eilidh Shore is also a good player, still young and needs a full time club to progress. I expect it'll be the way of things until they establish themselves as a full time team if that's what they want to do. Other than loanees and a small number of signings, pretty much every Dons player comes through their youth setup, and the quality seems to be better each year. They'll probably struggle this season with those two gone though, it'll be interesting to see how they cope, or if other players might look elsewhere too.

They've got that Barron lad in midfield, might be worth taking a look at when they go bust.

I'd be surprised if we take anything less than maximum points from those first 8 games

Christ, two six figure sum goalies on the books? Bit extravagant IMO.

Hopefully the tribunal will agree a fee of £500K, and the Dons will insist it is paid up front. The Huns will be completely outraged, refer to him as their player, play him in a friendly where he picks up a serious injury. The SFA then refuses to register him as a player until the Huns pay up. They scrape together the money and pay us in early August. Spooked by them refusing to pay a seemingly trivial sum to Aberdeen, the crane company refuses to engage in any further work on their stand until funds are delivered. As creditors continue to call their bluff, the Huns are pulled towards administration. Work on the ground stops, and their fixtures are moved behind closed doors at Airdrie's ground (with murrayfield refusing to host them without up front payment). Over the remainder of the season, things go from bad to worse as they're forced to sell any remaining football assets at way below value in order to fund the shortfall from having no crowd revenue. Hun fans request refunds for their season tickets, refusing to help their club in its time of need, as always. Eventually, the plug is pulled and they head into administration again. With the cost to complete Ibrox deemed too expensive, they are forced to sell it to Aldi, with a view to turning it into an LGBTQ+ sanctuary, refugee outreach centre and petrol station. Several thousand Huns spontaneously combust upon announcement.
