  1. My view from the Main Stand was that Besuijen stumbled and fell on the ball which he then half-grabbed instinctively.  IMHO it should have been a free kick to Dumbarton for the handball and no booking.  I've seen him dive heaps of times and that didn't look like a dive.

    No pinstripes on the sleeves, and the colours on the badge needed to be reversed.

    But provided it comes with black shorts & socks I'm prepared to forgive these minor aberrations.

    It does.  Actually the entire away strip including shorts and socks maybe looks slightly better than the entire home strip for that reason.  

    For clarity, I am absolutely advocating grown, overweight men buying the full kit to wear on holiday or around the house.  With boots and shinpads.

    Nice to see ambitious plans although I think it’s an odd route to take. Would make much more sense, have a better atmosphere and make a more balanced stadium, if they just built a permanent full-length cover and a few steps of terracing across from the main stand. 

    Perhaps Cove are being pragmatic here knowing that a fair chunk of fans next season could be Pittodrie regulars who are used to seating.

    I suppose because there's already two small covered terraces and a small covered seating bit on the side opposite the main stand, it made more financial sense to put new stands in where there aren't any already - ie. behind both goals.  

    I'm a "four or five games per season when the Dons don't have a home match" attendee and I probably slightly prefer standing along the side of the pitch - my season ticket at Pittodrie is behind the goal.  What's most important is being able to see the game though, and what puts me off - despite being tall - is the prospect of standing in the "second row" when there's a decent crowd at Balmoral.  I really can't be ersed turning up 15 minutes before kick off to get a spot at the front, so I was hoping for some additional facilities to get built.  I have no idea if I'm representative or not but I'm happy with this news!
