There was indeed a game where we had to share the Cooper with Celtic fans.
The Celtic fans had one half (nearest the East Stand) and we had the other half (mostly family section). So we not only had to put up with them being in the same stand but the kids had to be put through their own unique "songs of support". I made the decision not to take my lads that game, as did others.

Absolutely delighted to hear this news.
Lets hope it's never handed over again.

Having been out of work for 2 months and still no clearer about the job front at the end of the month I have voted No to renewing.
Whether we make the top 6 or not the price should be frozen. I could see a case for a slight rise if we make Europe.

I thought it was for the guys on the helicopter that went down earlier in the week. Most of them were from Aberdeen.
-
I'm afraid I blame the manager. As soon as Aberdeen went to ten men, he should have brought on Sheridan and Murphy and taken off Sutton as well as McGarry, and went for the three points. Instead he pissed about and didn't make his substitutions until it was too late. Definately two points thrown away.
Can't really blame him for the subs today. I think he was ready to bring Sheridan on for McGarry\Sutton when it became clear that DC had an injury. I think that's why they left Sheridan standing stripped for 5 minutes to see if DC would run it off.
As for McGarry, Sutton had the chance to play him in and decided to go for goal instead.

It's definitely 2 points dropped and with the draw against Killie last time out I think we have blown our chance for the top 6.
If we'd won both those games we'd be breathing down the necks of Heart and in good position for 4th place.
I don't see us taking anything from Ibrox next week and I'm hoping that Hibs won't get anything when they face Rangers.
This puts the St Mirren game as being the deciding factor. We are already 2 goals worse off than Hibs so we have to mke them up against St Mirren as well.
The Rangers game could make that goal difference worse (hopefully better) and we'd be hoping for Rangers to hammer Hibs.
It's been a good effort since Xmas but I think we're going to come up short of the line. The dropped points at Killie have come back to haunt us already I fear and today's has just compounded that result.
If we'd been 2 points ahead of Hibs today then we'd have been in pole position and I'd be positive of making the cut.
I am going by my head here and have put down my true thoughts. Believe me though that I really hope we pull something out of the hat and take at least a point next week.

At best, Bluetooth has an effective range of about 10m. In a football stadium full of people, it would be much less. So you would need to set up some sort of infrastructure across the stadium if you wanted to broadcast to everybody.
I must admit, I don't understand the need for Twitter. It's basically just text message spam. The again, I don't understand the need for Facebook either. Email and texting are all I ever need.
I done a scan at the game today using the bluetooth on my phone and picked up a couple that were clearly Aberdeen fans phones. So I imagine Bluetooth would cope in the stadium.

Just been looking at the official site and have seen that Northern Ireland, Scotland U21's and the ROI U21's all won their games.
The common denominator?
All had a player playing in C&A in their team.
Maybe Burley should've started Clarky against Holland
Crags go his 40th Cap in the 3-2 win over Poland
Sheridan created the 2nd goal in the ROI's win over Spain.
Jamie Murphy started the game against Albania.
As an aside the U21's take Albania on at the Falkirk Stadium at 5.30pm for anyone that's interested.
Well done to all the players above.

Something tells me that this has been put into the media to unsettle us before next weeks game.
(The sheepy fans must be crapping themselves that they won't make the top 6.)
I would hate to see this come to fruition before then.
-
I see it now. Junior Leagues say fuck off! The Junior Leagues have no reason to come in from the cold. The SFA have already backed down and allowed them in the Scottish Cup which is an absolute disgrace.
I know what you mean. However I am pretty sure that the SFA put some funding in place for these teams as well so if they were to threaten to cut that or take it away completely I am sure they'd feel obliged to make the move.
Once again having the SFA fully in control off Domestic football would be a good thing. None of this SFJL crap!!
-
Unfortunately it's not just the SPL that need to do something.
We need one body to look after Scottish Football and that should be the SFA (with new faces in charge)
The SPL and SFL should combine to look after the football leagues as previous but the SFA in overall charge.
Next the Leagues need to be revamped completely.
We should have a top league of 16 clubs. (Ideally 18)
No criteria to get into it either.
A second tier of 18 Clubs (20 Max)
So that gives us some clubs to get rid off.
This could be accomplished by a couple of clubs going bust Clyde and Livingston. The rest drop into a restructured Highland\Junior League to give us a pyramid system so that we can lose clubs at the bottom of the second tier and keep things fresh.
Relegation from the top would be 3 down with the first 2 automatically promoted with a play off place for the next 4 sides up for grabs.

I have a feeling we blew the top 6 on Saturday.
With the current Top 6 playing each other that was a massive 2 points to lose.
If we'd won we'd be sitting a couple of points clear of Hibs and they'd be the ones doing the chasing. As it stands now in the last 3 games before the split we have to match or better their result in each game. Not only that we have to score more goals than them and at the same time concede less.
On the basis of the last few weeks we are creating chances but not taking them and that worries me that we might not get the goals we need.
That's just my thoughts and maybe that's why I ain't a football manager.
What I will say though is that even if we don't make the top 6 is that the lads deserve the credit for getting us back into the mix.
-
Have to agree with Gaag, Malcolms arse warms up more of the bench than what Klimpl's will. Also lets remember we need that extra size of arse to help keep the pitch defrosted next season if we get anymore problems with the USH.
Get rid of Klimpl, he's gash!!!
-
It'll be dismal anyway. I take it the Moffat is the one that faces us - if it is thats not allowed unless they can argue its not the same view.
It isn't all about the view though, it's to do with the facilities on offer in the stand as well. If Killie can argue that this is the case, then they can justify the prices.
That was part of the reason that JB gave the Trust when he wanted us to hand over the DC. He couldn't charge the Old Firm fans more for a seat in the South Stand as it's facilities were on a par with the DC. (His decision still wasn't right though
) -
I suppose the hunt goes on then.
You know what they say,
Try, Try and Try again.
-
Anyone else worried about who'll win this contest today?
Klimpl has already picked up a few yellow cards this season but I have a feeling that Brines will send him off today and probably for a soft challenge (well soft in Klimpl's book)
-
Congrats to Mr McGhee on the award.
However I think it's a conspiracy by the SPL to make sure we don't reach Europe this season. Otherwise why award him with this right before a game that could make or break that decision.
Thank God the game's on Alba!!
-
Dodge, know you mentioned the disabled section.
I know before I left the board last year that was one of the aims of the Trust to help out with the disabled section. However I believe a number of factors may haveled
to taht being shelved for themoment and I don't mean by the trust.
-
No member of the MST board should be directly involved with MFC, other than being a fan.
Is that not common sense?
Giving the main aim of the Trust is to get someone on the Board, it's going to be hard for them not to be involved with MFC, if and when it does happen.
I know frommy time on the Board that it was the people that had connections with MFC that helped us get things done and vice versa when the club needed anything.
Doesn't matter who it is,they do help.
I wonder how much wouldn't have got done without Martin Rose being on the Board or the likes of 'Flow being friendly with Al McDonald or Keith with Chris McCart.
The Trust need some folk to have connections with MFC where possible. 'Flow resigned as soon as he got the job at the club as he didn't want a conflict of interest. Whereas Martin, if even unofficially gives the Trust some way into the Boardroom at present. Until the Trust get someone there on merit, then he'll have to do.

WHat a trip that could be.

Gordon Smith tried to change it to the highest placed league team but UEFA told him where to go!
That was last season, he put it forward to late. This season is supposed to be the start of it.
Edit: Looks like this proves me wrong though. Clicky
I was positive it had been confirmed by Smith at the start of the season that this had been sorted. It is up to the SFA who goes forward to Europe not UEFA (unless it's past their deadline date as it was last season.) or the SPL.
Looks like we'll be hoping they use the square, ice cold, stuck together balls for drawing every round of the cup from now on.
An Old Firm final means that 5th will qualify.
-
Yeah but Aberdeen could finish 6th in league meaning they'd get the UEFA cup place if they made the final. What we need is an old firm final for 5 league places...magic
Aberdeen would still have to win the Cup though. The Runners Up don't get the Euro spot any longer if the winner has already qualified.

Heard McGhee on the radio today saying that if the deal did get renogiateted for less money then the likes of O'Brien, Clarkson and Reynolds would have to be sold to balance the books.
So lets hope the SPL tell them where to go.
