BigAl Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 Aye, and my point stands mate. The vast majority of pubs are not open at that time. We're in agreement mate. It is the exception rather than the rule, but licensing law in Glasgow does allow for 11am opening, but you're right the majority don't bother to do it. A cup final day might be the exception though I could be wrong in saying this, but I think JDW open @ 7am even on a Sunday, but I guess it is only for breakfast and non alcoholic drinks.....would allow for a lining on the stomach though.

dickofthedons Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 Meekings has had hid red card overturned and can play... Really don't understand that to be honest, the challenge itself wasn't the worst but he just kicked out at the guy knowing he wasn't getting the ball. I thought it was more the petulance and the fact the challenge was about 5 minutes late that justified the red Quote
Tyrant Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 Was never more than a booking. They happen every game and I've never seen a red dished out for it. Correct decision IMO my opinion. Quote

I thought it was more the petulance and the fact the challenge was about 5 minutes late that justified the red It was a joke of a red card and the day petulance and late and undangerous challenges are straight red offences will be a sad day for football indeed. The 2nd yellow for Warren was also a joke The challenge by the hearts boy in the first half was much worse and he only got a yellow (studs showing straight into the caley boys ankle). Twas almost like the ref was trying to hand the game to hearts. Quote

Aberdeen_Ladette Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 So on a Sunday, two trains from Aberdeen will arrive in Glasgow before 2 - when you would have to leave the city centre. From Inverness, none. First train arrives at 14.05. Has there been any explanation why KO is at 1430 ?? Quote
Andrew Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 Has there been any explanation why KO is at 1430 ?? Easier to get home but it does sound shit and annoying. Quote
Tyrant Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 Easier to get home for Sky to show the game on TV but it does sound shit and annoying. Sorted Quote
tom_widdows Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Posted February 8, 2014 Richard Gordon suggesting a minimum of 25000 Dons fans for the final. Would like to think the organisers will have a bit of sense and immediately remove all 'restricted view' tickets from sale for both sets of fans. Stand capacities Main Stand - 7,373 North Stand - 26,970 (restricted views at back of upper tier) East Stand - 13,006 (restricted views in corner next to main stand) Lisbon Lions Stand - 13,006 (restricted Views in corner next to main stand) I suspect they will give Caley the main stand plus the 'Rangers' allocation - Approx 15000 with option of taking over the entire East Stand if required. Would like to think they will give dons fans the lower tier of the Lisbon Lions and North stand to start and then open up the upper tiers of the North stand (minus the restricted views) Quote
RDU_64 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Posted February 9, 2014 What time can you order beers with food? 10am. A group of us made the mistake of stumbling out of Portals at 9am one time and into Archie Simpsons for a lager and a brekkie, only to be told that they only serve drink from 10am. Had to make do with 10 pints of water and 10 breakfasts until 10! I've already got me weekend booked. 08:35am megabus down on the Saturday. Eurohostel is booked for the night. Day and night out on Saturday, up early doors on the Sunday and get to whatever pub is open. Train booked on the Sunday at 7:45pm. Quote
tom_widdows Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Posted February 9, 2014 BBC*. My mum was saying something about reading reports the BBC required the 2:30 kick off to allow them to cover the France vs Ireland match. Used to Sky & ESPN etc shafting fans but BBC Scotland? I could understand if it was to fit in a Scotland game but fucking Ireland vs France? GTF For someone who doesn't like football she was particularly surprisingly angry about the situation. Clearly her soft spots for Caley & County are stronger than I thought Quote

mizer Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 Apparently we jumped the gun...... "No final decision has been made regarding allocations and tickets for the forthcoming Scottish League Cup final," he said. "We continue to consult with both clubs and the venue regarding this. "We will make an official announcement on this as soon as that final decision has been reached." Quote
Andrew Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 we still get 30k tickets. it would not surprise me if we sold 35k. What i would love to do, is Buy a ticket (spare) and then get the club to donate it to anyone that is unemployed / ill disabled / terminally ill and lives in Aberdeen (or whereever) and get them to the final as well... I'm a student. Just send me £25. Quote
dave_min Posted February 18, 2014 Report Posted February 18, 2014 just need to ensure all are calm, and dont rise to any weggie idiots. last thing we need is newsreports like manchester Quote
