Aye, it's nuts. It's identity politics all the way now, with very little way back. Unfortunately Corbyn loses in this regard very time because of the tabloid shite. Of course, there could be some sort of UTG type local reasoning too I suppose that we're not party too, which is fair doos. I don't believe the Labour party has a viable future. I hope the people of Scotland are paying attention. Independence is the only remaining route of opposition.

How many teams played in this game?

Surely that should be a police matter too (if it's not - as is likely - horse shite)? It could be part of a 20+ year conspiracy, featuring several other red-herring stadium proposals, where Stewarty and McIntosh have colluded to cover up asbestos dumping with the final part of the jigsaw being to cover the entire thing up (literally) with a fitba grun. It'll come to light after Johnny Hayes collapses on a training pitch as his lungs give-way after two years of belting up and down on top of a pile of ancient asbestos. Think of all the hooligans that could get poisoned on their way to the game after shiteing in a local gairden.

Unfortunately, exercise winna mitigate the effects of the sugar. Indeed, the spazzy fad diets and gym classes have just deliberately added to the confusion. Really you (edit: I dinna mean you specifically; you in general) should be establishing a baseline diet that doesn't change (I don't mean the foods don't change, I mean the amount and regularity), then just eating an additional banana or whatever to fuel you for exercise. The whole "I must go to the gym because I've eaten x,y,z" approach to lifestyle is ruining us as it doesn't tackle the underlying issue, but it seems to be regularly advocated by pseudo-experts that make money from the game. Eating a shite load of sweets isn't good for you, full-stop, the same effects still occur in your body. That you mitigate the weight gain with exercise is nae really here nor there and when that exercise inevitably tails off (as you get older, injury or whatever) then you haven't adapted yer lifestyle to suit. It's a subtle nuance perhaps, but I got injured a year ago and haven't put on any weight because I just ate a banana before playing fitba and then stopped eating that banana when I got injured (I have experienced a serious build up of bananas however). I still enjoy a sweet and so forth, but I generally find most chocolate bars a bit bland these days, mainly because I've developed a decent palate through years of cooking. They're so heavily filled with sugar its boring. I like a home-bake like, that's mair up my street. On a societal level, we need to do a lot more. We've developed a system whereby the accepted normal (and it's ridiculous to even think about this) is for a country full of fat people to be tricked into purchasing stuff that they don't need and in some cases is actively killing them. It's really, really fucked up. Nutrition and cooking should be taught in every school from a very young age and to a high level. It's ridiculous that the basic skills needed to survive (and be healthy) are lacking from the vast majority of school leavers and a whole generation of adults can't feed themselves or their kids appropriately. Supermarkets are generally to blame.

That's the interesting question in all of this. The problem is a huge lack of alternative. Arguably Sanders was an option, but he would really have struggled to break through the system and his values would have been watered down to a terrible compromise that would have resulted in failure. The right wing press would have been all over him. A quick look at Corbyn confirms this. I think we're at the stage where the system (capitalism) is failing. I think that over the next 10-15 years there will be a lot of fighting as things break down entirely and it'll be an ugly transition. What we are missing is a viable alternative that is radical, progressive and workable. I think that with Trump there, things will break down much quicker and much more obviously. Hopefully this will provide the space for new alternatives to crop up and be more widely listened to. 4 - 8 years of Clinton would have seen things be reasonably stable, with little changing. We would have slowly progressed toward increasing unemployment, continued ignorance of technological advancement, continued creep toward catastrophic environmental collapse. All the while keeping the mouths of the plebiscite slightly above water, depressed and economically precarious. We would have then looked to a Trump character to fight the establishment etc etc. I think it's good that Trump is in charge, I think we need a complete break down of the system, with the general public taking a good - but non-fatal - kicking in the process so that we can begin the huge re-building process that is required to take us forward. I think Trump is a necessary evil, if only to prove to his supporters that they are completely and utterly wrong. I don't think he'll pave the way for Hillary/Obama 2, I hope he'll make space for completely new ideas.

To be fair, he read it on AFC Chat.

Absolutely, yer right. I just think that we've left several avenues for genuine objection open that would have been easy to close off, make little difference to the overall cost and make it look even more like the club are trying to accommodate the locals. I'm probably being harsh.

He didn't say he wasn't a hun, just said he wasn't a Rangers man. There's a distinct difference.

Aye, so it was, my apologies. Do you ging to Oxford games? Is their ground part of the city? Or an out-of-town shopping precinct?

It's not whether they want to, is whether they should have to. It's a valid objection, but it shouldn't be something that affects the decision (yes or no), it should just be a caveat of the application to create a suitable alternative for cyclists on match days. I couldn't give a fuck about the cycle route myself, I just don't get the need to be snide about genuine objections. It doesn't do the pro-stadium side any favours, in the same way as citing ridiculous objections about hooliganism and so forth doesn't do the anti-stadium side any favours - both are as pathetic as each other.

Not read this, but the reviews on Amazon are fantastic https://www.amazon.co.uk/Natural-Harvest-collection-semen-based-Photenhauer/dp/B01LPECGUQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487242898&sr=8-2&keywords=natural+harvest+a+collection+of+semen-based+recipes

When did he leave the set up?

Great points. I'm not suggesting that the problems can't be overcome, I'm saying that they don't appear in the linked documents. I'd say there's a massive difference between a 40mph (I wid never dee 40 there, as I suspect you wouldn't either) zone with little congestion to naturally reduce speed and King Street and so forth which are regularly reduced to 20mph at most before and after games. Sensible (I ken, it's nae) policy would be to put in temporary 20mph zone from the Arnhall crossing bit to perhaps the bus park or nae quite as far that came into play for an hour before and an hour after similar to outside schools. It shouldn't be required, as we're all adults, but it's about mitigating the complaints and getting it down on paper so that these objections can be quickly and easily thrown out. Again, I didn't see any mention of having secured 600 spaces at Arnhall either, which would surely crush further objections. However, neither of the above addresses the sustainability issue. To me, the whole thing stinks of out of town shopping centre - it's all very get there, get out. It might not feel that way when built, but the walk along a carriageway doesn't even compare to a walk down a populated King St and into the heart of the city. That's not sentimental bollocks, it's just good architecture and design. To me, the stadium should be the forefront of the community. This isn't. Anyway, there's plenty can be done to mitigate the parking etc, and the Arnhall spaces should be a good start. Will they be free parking, or some cunts looking to make a buck? Edit: Just saw Tyrant's post. Why wouldn't cyclists object? They fucking should. And the club should do everything possible in its design to not fuck it up for others. How much - as a percentage of total - would it cost the dons to add in alternative unobstructed cycle routes for match days? Fuck all I expect. It's a totally valid objection, and should be treated as such. If we can't even address minor issues like this quickly and cost-efficiently then we shouldn't be building anything.

I'm probably behind the times. Kids these days, always dreaming up new orifices to fuck. Edit: right in the lug.

Aye, but would ye fuck him? Edit: in the bum

Lee fuckin Clark got a job elsewhere? Fuck sake, the English John Hughes is leaving behind the 86 players he signed since the summer I take it?

It was a peach. He definitely meant it, it was a perfect lay-off for his right (wrong) foot, so he hooked his left round it curling it into the top corner. Nae bad for no-mark Tim cunt like (other than that he was quite good, but not our best player). Speaking of no-mark Tim cunts, McGhee is one supreme classless fud. Just pathetic. There was barely a contentious decision in the entire game, he was clearly in a rage about the doing they were getting. Just a fucking awful manager. Any manager worth their salt would have had 10 behind the ball at 2-0 and played it out until half time, but he just kept going with the same shite. Motherwell fans will be hoping that Dave King tenders his resignation for him. We were ace though, completely all over them, and playing world cup passes all over the shop with the occasional keepy up fae Hayes. Taylor even had an absolute belter of a drive that the keeper did well to stop too. Pawlett was the only player that would have caught up with, and overtaken, Hayes for the seventh so well done to him too. It was good that we got that last one after they got a couple back too, just the icing on the cake. 93 against Airdrie was the last time anyone scored 7 in a competitive match at Pittodrie. I was at that een too. Rooney is our modern day Shearer.

Yer definitely lying.

Most of our society is made up money spinning nonsense. My job/work is, yours probably is. Although I agree with yer first statement.

Ha ha, aye, that'll dee it. I think we'll have no problem getting a large mortgage and a pitiful naming rights agreement from SMG with caveats associated with paying those sums back at some point. I think we'll work the money from somewhere.

Really? In what way is it small minded? I've just read item 7 too, and I don't see anything small minded there at all. In fact, the concerns raised stand out like a massive fucking beacon and haven't been adequately answered. We cannot have fans walking alongside a dual carriageway, and the vague alternatives presented aren't good enough. It'd be completely irresponsible for a community council to recommend the development based on the current transport suggestions. They make an extremely valid point about the sustainability of the parking and general travel arrangements. It's about as sustainable as an out of town shopping centre, which they would definitely object to too. There are actually very few benefits to the local community from having the stadium there, so I'm not sure why you'd expect them to be in support of it? Airy fairy shite about it being great for the North East to have a successful team in a shiny new stadium are just as objectionable as the shite about hordes of hooligans destroying Westhill or the stadium lights blinding the locals. The community of Westhill doesn't owe AFC anything, and they certainly shouldn't feel obliged to accomodate them in anyway because of some sort of faux loyalty. If the club addressed some of the basic concerns, then they'd get a much easier ride from the community council. Expecting them to say nothing because it's AFC and it's great for the North East or some such shite and ignoring the overwhelming flaws in the plan - well that is where the small mindedness lies. Anyway, I don't think they'll hold any sway whatsoever. It'll go ahead, I'm fairly confident of that. It'll be down to the dons affording it.

Exactly. This isn't about the Rangers job, it's about every single job that he might choose to go for in the future as well as any future contract negotiations he might have with the dandies. He'll approach every piece of speculation in the same way so as never to show his hand. He'd be an absolute moron if he want near the huns in their current state, and he clearly isn't that.

Ace. I like Considine, been a great servant and a good solid defender.

Be interesting to see what we do here with Reynolds and Shinnie missing. The biggest dilemma for me is at left centre half. O'Connor was atrocious there against the Tims in the final and previously shaky there against der hun when he moved back from midfield. He couldn't cope coming out of defence on his left foot, it was like watching Taylor on his right foot. McInnes generally doesn't like to play a centre back on their wrong side too. If it were a better team and away from home I think we'd see Considine into centre back and Hayes drop into left back, but because Motherwell aren't that good I think he'll put O'Connor in. He needs to start getting game time again to get his confidence back up. I suspect it'll have taken a tanking after the cup final. I think that with Christie in the squad the midfield will be a bit more simple with McLean dropping deep and Christie filling in behind Rooney. We need a strong performance from McLean, but he's more than capable of playing there. The other option would be to put Hayes back into centre mid, but I don't think McInnes would trust Wright (who would be the most appropriate) to start on the wing. It's the midfield scenario we knew would happen in January when we didn't get anyone in, so we should be well prepared for this. I still think McLean dropping back to midfield is better than bulking our squad up with another no-mark (Tansey) that we'd end up paying off early and generally just have another guy on the bench that we feel obliged to give game time ahead of any youth coming through. We should still be strong enough to beat Motherwell.

I use steak rather than mince and cook it for ages, so that it is tender as a fud and shredded it with a fork afore whacking it in with the spaghetti (or tagliatelle, which I prefer). Similar sauce like.
