  1. Funnily enough I did mention it at the time. I said the club should have been sold to the society immediately but I was told this wasn't possible by Dempster. What then happened was the Society bought an absolutely worthless 5% of the club for £250,000. Then Boyle started threatening to sell us to South Americans despite having given up his shares ie Dempster and the other trustees would do it. After that the rest of the majority shareholding was sold for £1 (which Dempster said was impossible) to Hutchinson who then started wasting money and almost got us relegated. Now we are paying off a huge bill for the pleasure of having Baraclough, Straker, George Long, Wes Fletcher and other diddies plus paying for scouting systems and a club restructure which lasted about five minutes.
  2. We have to pay them back but we should cut the very grateful act. Both of them fucked up the club due to poor management but it's our club so our debt to clear. Boyle has made a fortune by ripping people off via administration law multiple times and Hutchinson is a Tory crank who spent his career shutting down local industry and moving it overseas. It's perfectly understandable that many of our fans don't want to pass their wages onto these two millionaires.
  3. It's either to stop the turnstyle operators from putting their hand in the till or to allow the club to fiddle the VAT.
  4. There is no point trying to figure out what is going on at Accies. MacDonald is extremely dodgy and Barry Hughes is apparently involved as well.
  5. Lewis Grabban scored the first and the tenth goal in a 5-5 draw between Villa and Forest.
  6. I was planning to avoid going to Kilmarnock, Accies and Livi this season but since we've won the last three games I've been too then I might as well try and keep the run going. Dunne in for Hartley and if he's not fit Maguire.
  7. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a large cash element in Scottish football. We obviously have a far higher wage bill than Accies and St Mirren.
  8. Sportscene seem to have a policy of not mentioning David Turnbull. He scored against St Mirren and it was all about Samson, scored the goal of the weekend against Dundee and they didn't discuss it at all and tonight they didn't even show his goal during the discussion and decided to single out Rodriguez praise for some reason
  9. It was a stramash and Beaton took a while to give the free kick despite an Aberdeen player holding Campbell down. No punches. Maybe a trip to Specsavers is in order.
  10. Campbell got booked for trying to chop down their player running through. He kicked the guy and he kept going then Mbulu took a swipe and missed then the guy rolled a tame shot at Gillespie.
  11. That was unexpected but we looked up for it from the first minute and took more control with every goal. Two great finishes from Johnson,hopefully he can push on from these goals in the run up to the break. Main, Hartley and Campbell all rediscovered a bit of form, Mbulu was comfortable and Grimshaw was superb. In midfield Bigi battled for everything and Turnbull again showed the value of midfielders who can shoot again. I would have liked to have seen Livingstone but we have more reasons to bin Sammon so it wasn't a total loss. A win next Saturday puts us two points behind Livi and potentially Hibs. Hopefully it's another good performance at least then we can give Celtic and Rodgers what they are due under the floodlights.
  12. Hopefully but the reality of modern game is that young players have options now. We've seen it with Slane, Hall and Erwin and most other Scottish clubs have lost players as well.
  13. Lewis Morgan and Lewis Ferguson seem quite sensible as well.
  14. Cadden is out tomorrow apparently. It would be a tough game to get thrown into but hopefully we see Livingstone at LB.
  15. I've never heard of a footballer getting DVT before.I thought it was just auld women on long haul flights.
  16. Just heard the commentator on Sky say something about Petravicius. Rewound it and he scored an overhead kick against Serbia Gunnar Nielsen just popped up as well. Diddyfest.
  17. A tough game but Aberdeen haven't been scoring many so if we can score one we could well take something. Is Dunne back?
  18. Burundi had a decent away support there. 800 miles due north through Rwanada and Uganda. Hopefully they got a flight.
  19. It'll be interesting to see that red card. It looked like the ref didn't see it and just went with what the Ross County players told him. Cowie is still a wee prick. Two minutes down holding his head like he's been hit by Anthony Joshua then back fine without a mark on him. Wank.
  20. It's a perfect day for getting the ball down and playing some good football. Hopefully we get a decent crowd in.
  21. I meant the Scotland team is u20. But looking at it there is quite a few 20 year olds in the squad.
  22. It's an u20 team so he's too old I think.
  23. Ross County at Fir Park tomorrow. Turnbull is away with Scotland but I wonder if we might see Campbell playing as he's still young enough.
