Is that semi finals you're talking about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen snippets of him, mainly at Pittodrie where Andrew Considine dealt with him fairly well and Jack McKenzie did ok against him last season too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business entertaining expenditure isn't tax deductible. Sponsorship is. But it only reduces your tax by 19% of the amount it reduces your profits by. As tax dodges go, it's pretty shit but better than a baxendale-walker EBT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of throw-ins Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) I can assure you that nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, not a single person, sponsors or donates money to Aberdeen Football Club with the primary motive of saving tax.

It's football, clubs make offers for other players all the time. Aberdeen were entitled to bid for Boyle, Hibs were entitled to say no. Same as Hibs were entitled to ask about Kerr of St Johnsone and the fermers were entitled to knock them back. We all move on . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Doesn't matter - we've got a faster and more technically wide player on our books. His name's Funso......... (ok his finishing still needs work) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanmistermustard Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Does anyone know which match this was as it’s one of my foremost memories of following Aberdeen? I’m convinced it was at Tannadice in January in the late 90’s/early 00’s, we were certainly playing Dundee United and were shit but thanks to a screamer from distance we won 1-0. Don’t know why but it’s one of my clearest memoriesWill probably be shown to have never happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Tickets bought in Tuesday for Hearts on Sunday/Qarabag next week. Picked them up yesterday and couldn't use them by Wednesday night. Went arse over tit on my bike and broke my hip. Will be seeing if I can watch the game from my bed in ARI. What a pisser. Surgery this morning to inert a plate and 2 screws. 6 weeks on crutches. 2nd time in my life I'll be heading to the South stand on crutches. 20 years ago I broke my ankle. Fucking hard work going from the pub to the match on crutches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Shed for it, the goals warmed us up. That pub with the upstairs bit that used to let Dons fans in and sell them booze by the crate load took a bit of a battering that day too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
