  1. Wifie phoned me yesterday. I remained polite - because it's nae her fault - and declined. I think it was £18 per month, or perhaps I completely misheard throughout all the sales bullshite. No Aberdeen employee should be using the term "Old Firm". Fucks.
  2. I would have, but we tanked them, so fuck em.
  3. The farmer's bakery or something wasn't it, or am I imaging that? Fine butteries fae there. Mine getting a few at 3am.
  4. 1) Why has work only just begun? There have been only two options for 6th place for a week now, so they surely must have had two scenarios in place? Run them by police Scotland and work out any problems that might be caused in advance and get the decision made right after the 6th place was decided (i.e this morning). 2) If you think that the old firm fixture is a problem, then say so. Don't bury it under the rug. Produce the entire set of fixtures, with the hun-tim cockstain scheduled for the first week and say that fixture X will be subject to change based on the results of this weekend's fixtures due to the volatility of the support. If the fixture is likely to be a title decider, then we will be moving to the second last game of the season to minimise the likelihood. In light of this, two other fixtures (Tims and Huns second last games) will also be subject to change. That means that we have a whole raft of fixtures that fans/tv can make arrangements for and we highlight the actual issue at stake here rather than pretending there's some sort of difficulty in scheduling. Do they think pandering to this shite is going to improve the issue?
  5. Weird. 3 at the back then, or a chance to give O'Connor a run in midfield ahead of the semi? I'm normally pretty critical of McInnes dicking about with the formation, but ahead of the semi - with our missing players - I think it's pretty important to try a few things tonight to see how it works. Also, they're probably starting thon two brutes up front.
  6. It was inferred, as I read it. Apologies if that's not the case. You obviously laid it there for comment at the very least, so I've commented.
  7. ^^^This. I'm pretty certain McInnes will know this too. It's a bit of a gamble, but if he sticks and brings home the cup then he'll do better than a championship side (or at worst be favourite when the next guy gets binned at WBA). I think McInnes would always regret not having one more shot at the cup with the dons, and so I don't see him going anywhere.
  8. Thanks. I took the terms "unacceptable" and "zero taste" as opinion, dinna worry. If I thought otherwise, I'd have said so. Fortunately, it's nae a subject I'm particularly expert in, so I don't mind a bit of differing opinion on it. If I'm honest, I'd admit that I was way out of my depth suggesting that they were a decent brand having only seen perhaps two of their jaickets. I should stick to subjects that I'm clearly an expert on, such as fitba and fitba stadium locations in case I get called out on it like on this occasion. Also, not having met Rocket before, his tastes might be horrendous, so it doesn't really hold that much weight.
  9. So? They'll delay the process by however long the system takes to run its course. That has absolutely nothing to do with NKS and they have zero control over it. If the process of appeal took only one month, then that would be the length of delay. Are you suggesting that the system should be changed to benefit AFC? Or that NKS should drop their appeal because the system takes ages to process it? That would be a bit fuckin stupid, no? Forget yer opinion on Kingsford, because it's completely irrelevant.
  10. So, if Hertz win today the top 6 is settled. Will we see the fixtures tomorrow, or will it take another week? It should be ready to go you'd think given the obviousness of the placing for the last week at least.
  11. What about his complete inability - for both sides - to count/pace out ten yards? He didn't make any horrendous decisions, but he was just generally incompetent. He'd fucked up something if there was anything to fuck up.
  12. Decent performance and a good result. Pitch still an abomination, so fair play to the dons for playing fitba at times. Christie was excellent. His best performance since McGinn returned. May was okay, did a lot of good running and hopefully the goal will give him confidence. His movement is good, but he needs to get into the 6 yard box more often. He keeps going short when he should look to get in for the cross. Thought we might have tried O'Connor into midfield today and get Arnason on to try it out ahead of the semi. I understand giving McKenna a break though, a decent move. Ball came on, but I thought it should have been at right back, again to try it out. Logan played well though, good strength to get on the end of the cross from Considine for Stewart's first (offside?)
  13. Aye, don't get me wrong, I don't actually own one. Just meant I liked a couple of them. I considered one a couple years back, but decided it wasn't worth the cost. I tend not to wear any particular brand of anything, so I'm a bit out of my depth when discussing such things. I go for UK (or Italian a lot it seems) made for my clathes where possible. That's about the height of my fashion concerns. I'm always vastly under-dressed wherever I go.
  14. I quite like a Moncler jaicket masel. Pricey like. Aye, Goalposter is the most obvious poster of all time.
  15. You're mixing up liquidation and administration. They're a fair way off either with season ticket time coming shortly unfortunately.
  16. Was it donwards/soupherb/goalposter/nips_and_tatties per chance? Seems to get fair riled around Scotland game time. Despite being in Australia, and having a very basic grasp of fitba
  17. It doesn't make them feel as if they're getting something back, they are getting something back. Something more than someone who - as Bobby pointed out - actually goes to games. It's a minor issue of course, but a shame that those who can't afford to shell out every week could miss out on - for (an extreme) example - a cup final, or a big european game because an ex-pat wants to get a ticket for their mate. Although, I'd probably sign up if I was abroad mind. As I said earlier though, the gap will never be closed with this scheme, and it shows an entire lack of understanding of our game at board level if they think (I don't think they do, I think it's just a marketing ploy) that it will. At best, it's exceptionally disingenuous. The way to close the gap (which is what they've explicitly mentioned this is for) is to get together with other teams and change the structure of payments coming in to our game. An opportunity that hit us square in the coupon a few years back. My opinion is that they're taking the easy way out and just going back to the fans for money instead of really challenging the way finances work in Scottish fitba. Even the most ardent of dons fans would have to accept that a similar scheme launched by the huns or tims would only serve to widen the gap further. Basically, an ex-pat scheme is a great thing and good to see and is very commendable. But to link it to closing the gap is false marketing. I'm not sure what you mean by jealousy either, I think that's mis-directed and a bit lazy. Ignorance, maybe. Then take the constructive comments made and dissect them for us. I think yer probably right with yer last point, plain argumentativeness! But I think our arguments hold water. There's little point in a forum if you can't point out the flaws in a plan. I think it was great that the club approached and discussed with DST before releasing the scheme too, there's certainly a lot for the club to be commended for in general these days.
  18. Aye, it's bumming oil.
  19. The closing of the gap is as relevant to those below us as it is for us to close it on those above. It's a political problem, that could be solved over night. Or at least it could have if we hadn't sided with the Tim in the 11-1 voting system. Asking the fans to put their hands in their pocket in this manner is a crass attempt to fund the cockdome whilst maintaining a budget. I give the club a very healthy sum every season, they can get fucked if their only answer is to come asking for more.
  20. Dairylee is not cheese. Edit: It's semen bound with wood filler.
  21. A girl at my work the other day said: "Theresa May isn't going to stand up in front of the country and lie about it [the poisoning]" Hmmm... Does anyone remember what happened to that illegal immigrant who couldn't be deported because, and she wasn't making this up, he had a pet cat?
  22. You make me sick.
  23. The "photo op" politics in this country shows a real deep-rooted societal problem. We have no targets, no societal aims, no definition of progress. Just a bunch of identities in a building shouting at one another surrounded by pageantry and irrelevance.
  24. A long time since I've been there but for a while they were getting fae the bread maker on Rosemount viaduct. They do/did fantastic ones. Fair size too. Much better than the aitkens like, that seemed to be more mythical than good. Trading on previous glories. However, that might be harsh as i haven't had one fae them in a good nummer of years.
  25. It's okay ye cunts, I'll find it.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/aberdeenbutteriesrow_92370
