  1. Ok, i'll bite. You were not relegated. A new company was allowed in half way up the pyramid. You should know that the establishment does not relegate its clubs.
  2. I didn't realise it was Stirling, that changes everything. I hope the change of attitude has been caused by nothing more sinister than parenthood.
  3. You've changed. Were you not formerly an advocate of drinking by yourself in railway station toilets?
  4. It's a matter of perspective i guess. Anything short of a naval blockade will look soft to the ERG types.
  5. Wrapping presents. What's the point. Most things have packaging of their own. If not, they probably came with a carrier bag. I bought the wife a bottle of perfume for her birthday. It came in a box. The box was wrapped in cellophane. The orange lady in the shop gift wrapped it for me. Then put it in a branded bag. My kids insisted that the bag needed. Wrapped. Only the bottle was necessary. Five layers above that were not.
  6. Soft brexit just means that this shit will drag on for a few more years. Gammons will blame the inevitable economic slump on the EU's "demands" and hinder any actual government busines. It would be best if we just moved directly to the civil war and rid ourselves of the retrograde arseholes.
  7. Any Aberdeen fans who said that should be locked up for their own safety.
  8. Pfft. If you're not going to pay attention to the game, what's the point. Hedges dragged one about45 degrees wide. In the 2nd half. Not sure if Cosgrove got a shot away or got tackled first.
  9. Both wingbacks off it. Kennedy looks like his boots are on the wrong feet.
  10. Lol. You're getting a free kick every time your players fall over.
  11. Fair point. I don't know what's gone on but it's something out of the ordinary and involves Atlanta.
  12. The things that make me think this could be right are: When he signed we were told that it was possible because of the link up with Atlanta and their scouting ""It shows you where we are with our collaboration with Atlanta at the minute," McInnes said. "Once we were speaking with their recruitment team it was a player who they were aware of and had flagged up on their system. "Jointly we got to know him a bit better. Atlanta have several Venezuelan players and contacts and that allowed us to make inroads into the possibility of bringing him to Aberdeen." Also McInnes recent comments about being confident of recouping the investment " I think we have to be fair to the boy, and if there is an opportunity, and we think there will be, to recoup the money invested then that money will come back." McInnes isn't dumb enough to think he's worth £800k on the market, so there's clearly something else. Maybe there were options in there, and had he turned out to be a superstar Atlanta would still be giving us £800k and not a penny more. I don't know. I agree, if we haven't lost out, then there's no issue. I'd go further though, if we can access players we otherwise couldn't with innovative deal structures, why not give it a shot. If one in three works out that would be grand.
  13. The most convincing rumour so far is we signed him for Atlanta while they freed up space in their foreign player quota.
  14. I saw Matt Hancock being interviewed recently and have tailored my expectations accordingly. I wouldn't hire him to hold the Golf Sale sign.
  15. I hope you're talking abour GMS and not Stewart. I could see him coming on for Hedges/Wright/McLennan, whether to try something different or as cover. I can't see that he'd walk into the starting 11.
  16. Greg Stewart is available again in the summer... Greg Leigh for your list. Arneson was re-signed for the club by McInnes but i don't think he played under him first time he was here. I'd be happy enough if GMS came back but it wouldn't make me aroused.
