He won't have spoken to a police officer, or anyone at the SFA for this enlightened piece of information that he made up. We do hate the huns, obviously.

rocket_scientist Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 We can't "behave"? Like Rangers can? I don't recall AFC fans creating major havoc like they've done so frequently, including this/last month in Europe and Manchester being on the biggest scale in recent years. He's right that we fucking detest them but if he had half a brain or was capable of critical thinking, it's really not "staggering" at all. It's his inability to examine the question why (we hate them) that leaves him perplexed and yet no-one likes them and they don't care apparently. Boyd is a grade A fuckjob, a horrible disgusting human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggy89 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Aberdeen and Hearts are up in arms over kick-off times, venues and no doubt the price of pies at the national stadium. Hopefully he’s nae going or there’ll be none left. Boyd’s just a B&M Bargains version of Robbie Savage’s Primark version of, Minijc. That article is the the very definition of click bait.

Lencarl Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Chief executive Duncan Fraser expects Aberdeen to get 50% of the tickets for the League Cup semi-final against The Rangers on 28 October. Really have my doubts that Aberdeen will sell 50% of the tickets. A 50-50 allocation to start with but eventually Sevco will get the remaining unsold tckets.

RicoS321 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Why is this still a thing? I thought that the default was 50-50 these days and that the club decide to return their allocation if they don't believe they can sell it. Looks like the press trying to move the story on from their fucked up semi-final day arrangements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they have to return any they don't sell - couldn't the Club just take the hit, after all they wouldn't have budgeted for a semi-final appearance.

I suspect you're correct. I don't actually believe that Boyd said anything of the sort. We're not half desperate to believe any old shite that the tabloids come out with when it suits our anti Rangers agenda. And for the record I fucking hate them.

Yes, they could. I think that they maybe did for the Tims game a couple of seasons ago. They paid for them all in advance to make sure we got the 50-50 split. I'm sure there were still a thousand or so to sell with a week to go? Could be wrong. They should pay for the 50% and then sue the SPFL for the balance of any not sold. Actually, I'd prefer that the club told them to go fuck their competition and just refused to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten Caat Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Boys is a paid columnist in The Sun. Of course he said it I think half the time they are being paid to allow the paper to put their name to the article and that the article itself is actually written by some apprenctice reporter. Thus the more controversial the article, the better chance the junior hack has of actually getting a proper gig down the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Some gadgie on twitter suggesting we didn't sell out our 2017 SC Final allocation, which I find hard to believe, given the club told me it was sold out and I got my tickets through other means. Also someone else saying hibs started selling their allocations last year from the half way line so there could be no demand from the Tims for the unsold tickets.

It's all pantomime though, being a baddie gets your name out there, gets clicks and retweets and sells papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lencarl Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Talks are to take place over a potential rethink of Scotland's League Cup semi-finals. Police Scotland and the SPFL are expected to reopen discussions over the ties, which are due to take place at Hampden on Sunday, October 28. Rangers are scheduled to play Aberdeen at 12pm, with Celtic due to face Hearts later in the day at 7.45pm. https://stv.tv/sport/football/1431496-rethink-over-plans-for-scottish-league-cup-semi-finals/ Mmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lencarl Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 From Twitter: The Dons have been offered an initial allocation of 15 thousand tickets for their semi final against Rangers at Hampden. Rangers have been allocated 25 thousand with the promise of more if Aberdeen cannot sell all of their allocation. I really hope this tweet is a lot of shit, most likely it is.

Haven't they pulled this shit before? Like the idea of doing what hibs allegedly did, although I doubt our club has the balls nor the willpower to do it. The Scottish game really does try to make it hard for you to like it. Which is incredibly frustrating because we've got a good thing.

Makes perfect sense imo. Despite the fact I'd rather the huns have to travel too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lencarl Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Celtic want a draw to determine which Scottish League Cup semi-final is moved to Murrayfield, if plans to play both matches at Hampden are scrapped. One of the games will have to be played first for live TV. Is this another ballot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
