Kowalski Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Internet petitions are a waste of time. But if this is to do with letting the Infirm fans stand while we have to sit then I agree it is a shambles. Don't think a cup game is the time do it. Almost as bad as those who demonstrated on the day of a game while we were fighting for a European place. Quote

Almost as bad as those who demonstrated on the day of a game while we were fighting for a European place. I've found Old Firm games to be the ones where the stewards do let us stand. Like Tuesday for example in the South Stand we were allowed to stand, seems a bit odd that the following game is the one there is a protest. Quote

jmo Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 That doesn't happen in the lower deck of the RDS. Maybe it would make more sense to have the demonstration in the RDS then. It doesn't seem like it would be particularly effectual standing up and singing in a stand where we are already allowed to stand up and sing. Either way, a better atmosphere at Pittodrie can only be a good thing, though I don't know if this is the best game to try. Quote
tsr Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Aye, don't think the intention is a demo as such but about showing support for the team, I would say its probably the best time to do it - important cup tie? Quote
tlg1903 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 I would happily sign a petition for the return of terracing Quote
Graeme_S Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Pre-match : watch the 2 ugly sisters embarrass our nation on tv in a pub whilst londoners around us snigger. Match : Rob Roy maybe Post-match: Watch what's left of torres' debut. Prediction : 3-1 dons with an early goal settling the nerves Quote
s1dnk Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Anybody know if the game will be shown on the BBC sport website? I've had a look on there but couldn't find any mention, just says BBC1 Scotland only. Offshore just now and it's easier to watch on a computer. Quote

BBC never show any live football on the net, just highlights. Most of the time they give live sound commentary though. It could be more difficult to get live streams now as a big site in the States has been closed down by the Government Quote

glasgowdon Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Yes http://www.sportsgrid.com/media/super-bowl-streaming-sites-shut-down/ Really? Quote
s1dnk Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Yes http://www.sportsgrid.com/media/super-bowl-streaming-sites-shut-down/ That page claims the Super Bowl is the second most watched sporting event on the planet, the first being the World Cup final. I believe the Champions League final is more watched also, damn Septics thinking their sports are the biggest in the world! Saying that I do hope to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday Quote

s1dnk Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 OK, couldn't see it on the first link you gave. So will the Dunfermline game be online tomorrow? I only gave 1 link. Anyway I don't think it's online, only page I could see on it says BBC Scotland only. Hope it's on though. Quote
Torryloon Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 Apparently Jimmy Calderwood will be one of the BBC's panel of experts for this match. Quote
tom_widdows Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 I doubt it will be online because IPLAYER only covers BBC London at the moment and that is where the Welsh Derby is being shown. Dont recall the other scottish cup games being shown on the BBC website Quote
wee toon red Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 In/Oot : Oot Pre-match : Flying from Bergen to Oslo Match : No doubt trying to find a stream Post-match: oot for tea! Prediction : Easy-peasy lemon squeazy. Quote
dave_min Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 Apparently Jimmy Calderwood will be one of the BBC's panel of experts for this match. An ex-Dons and Dumfermline boss? Excellemt choice imo. JIG Quote
AFC_Knox_out_Huns Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 In pre-matcher- broadhill RDS Lower due to top deck being closed. postmatcher- bobbin prediction- 2-0 dons, vernon and blackman. Quote
mizer Posted February 6, 2011 Report Posted February 6, 2011 ATHLETIC will have to make three enforced changes for their televised Scottish Cup fifth round tie at Aberdeen on Sunday. Goalkeeper Chris Smith is suspended for the tie, midfielder Willie Gibson has been transferred and striker Liam Buchanan is cup-tied with Partick Thistle but manager Jim McIntyre is not concerned about the situation. He believes his men will take the game to Aberdeen when they are in possession but he will be asking for a better showing than in the 2-0 defeat at Partick Thistle last Saturday. Either Kyle Allison or Greg Paterson will replace Smith with Pat Clarke or Steven McDougall joining Andy Kirk up front. The wide right role may go to youngster Paul Willis or the manager could opt for switching David Graham over and giving Joe Cardle a run on the left after his absence from the matchday 16 in recent weeks. The central midfield area may be another where there is a change. McIntyre put young Ryan Thomson on at half-time at Firhill in place of Nick Phinn and may opt to continue with the talented 19-year-old. Quote

Dont recall the other scottish cup games being shown on the BBC website It should be on the BBC red button in england though? Had a scan of it just now & couldnt see it.. Anyone know if it is actually on? Quote
