BRING HIM HOME More like its Edina Tinder he wants to link up with. The cheeky monkey. I dearly hope he comes back to us though. Unless he joins HIbs. In which case I have a statement prepared stating he's shite and not good enough for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a certain expectation that is concomitant with re-signing for a club like aberdeen. If Niall doesn’t feel he is up to it we will endorse this position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else old enough to have been at both games? Typical sheep, living in the past comments to follow this post. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneetrembler Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I was at the home leg only. I couldn't get to many midweek games because my da was a fisherman and was usually at sea Sunday to Friday. On this occasion the boats were tied up for Christmas so we got to the game. Heady days. I thought they would last forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRING HIM HOME The same Neil Lennon who froze him out st Celtic. I reckon McGinn watched Aberdeen dismantle Hibs the other week and realised if he wants trophies and Europe, then he has more chance of that at Kingsford than at Easter Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a league who's main sponsor is a bookie, They're banned from betting on any football, not just Scottish? Absolutely absurd. Teams can dodge millions in tax through EBT's, paying players and staff that they can't afford and not be punished, yet someone (a multi-millionaire) with no influence on team affairs places a couple of bets and gets dragged over the coals? Think the SFA need to develop some common sense. Edited December 21, 2017 by AFCDannyFTH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the SFA need to develop some common sense. In fairness it's worldwide ban so presumably it's FIFA not the SFA. So take it up with them. This is from the English FA http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/policies/betting/betting-rules Quote These rules apply to everyone involved in football, from the players and managers, to the match officials and club staff. New rules introduced from 1 August 2014 A worldwide ban on betting on football will come into force from 1 August 2014 for all those involved in the game at Premier League, Football League, National League and Women's Super League levels, as well as those at clubs in the the Northern, Southern and Isthmian leagues and all other Participants who do not fall into the category below. Participants covered by the ban will be prohibited from betting, either directly or indirectly, on any football match or competition that takes place anywhere in the world. The changes to FA Rules from the start of the 2014/15 season will also effect a worldwide ban on betting on any other football-related matter. For example, the transfer of players, employment of managers or team selection. The passing of inside information to somebody that uses the information for betting remains prohibited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Seriously, if football is so focused on the issue of gambling, the authorities should be setting an example and binning Ladbrokes, William Hill and Betfred. Most of the threat is not from this sort of guy betting on match outcomes. It's the same problem as in cricket - spot betting. If you're going to offer odds on the time of the first throw in, corner or yellow card then you're open to corruption. There's an easy answer - don't offer markets in a team sport where the bet can be manipulated by one person without involving others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re involved with a club then you cannot bet on any football match, anywhere, at any time. No grey areas, clear as a bell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be heavily involved in the gaming industry, with Betfred for one, so I'm sympathetic to them, and while I think replacing what they put into the game would be difficult (not just leagues/cups, but individual teams too), it's a very good point min. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 One of your loaned youth players Conor McLelllan scored an absolute peach against us today. Looks like a real talent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
