Spending his win bonus and improved wages after finishing 2nd??

Words fail. Oh wait, no they don't. FUCKING YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't agree more, Paul Quinn was another - his first touch was phenomenal at RB.

Not for me (although I'd agree I'm probably in the minority); I've enjoyed Celtic games less and less for years now due to the bile they spout. I was at the game before Christmas and a few others in the last 2 years but made a conscious effort not to go on Saturday because I don't enjoy the atmosphere. As a PS; my parents live (and I used to until last year) a street away from FP, so it's not as if it's an issue for me to get there. However, having seen the atmosphere created by and the attitude of Celtic fans when parking cars in the street (blocking driveways, deliberately charging by pedestrians etc) it's not something I want to be around.

I'm more than aware of that, thanks. It was very much tongue in cheek.

Andy, you once broke the stretcher at Fir Park when carried off. How many pies, pints and curries had you had pre-match?

'Here, have my season ticket that's worth nothing to me now, that'll teach you.'

I'd take him on a pay as you play deal, certainly.

I think Yabba's point is more to do with the fact we ran at a pretty substantial loss last season and exiting both cups so early has cost us a fair bit of cash, along with the fact we may have lost money playing in Europe...

What was his reaction? We'll scrape a 2-1 win, same as last time; 1-0 down and we'll win 2-1.

Jim Goodwin? Grey hair rather than bald?

Faddy for me. Mention for Gunnar, who was solid. Carswell looked like he was carrying a niggle but he still dug it out when he had to.

I actually felt he had a better day today; he was given a few mental back-passes by Angol (who isn't exactly oozing confidence at the minute) and made a few good saves.

Tremendous game and always brilliant to get it up that wee bawbag Higginbotham. His second goal was top class, right enough. Defence was a bit of a mess in places and felt Ainsworth wasn't too interested in defending at times, which led to them having space to use against Hammell who looked solid if vulnerable at times at RB. Showed brilliant character to come from behind having been in front, which I'm delighted about. Thought that McCall's subs were at the right time and brought a bit more urgency - I felt Anier coming on gave the team a lift; quite why he hasn't been starting I don't know. Hoarse from all the abuse to Higginbotham and the cheering at the end. Tremendous game of football, not likely to be topped this season - the guys from Go Ahead Eagles that were in the East with us couldn't have picked a better game to come to.

Straws. Lots and lots of straws.

The game was the day of my 21st. First night (the Wednesday) it hit midnight and everyone got me booze. On game day, all the people I hadn't seen the night before bought me booze. The only stuff I can actually remember buying was a crate from a supermarket. Can vaguely remember going for a pizza with my brother and having our photos taken with French women, then ending up walking about inside the cathedral just round from the square. Melted.

Man, I'd completely forgotten about that. What a complete downer that was. I can remember Maloney saying they didn't deserve to win that night. Boruc made some tremendous saves that night (one from Kerr in particular) I recall.

Nancy for me - absolutely amazing way to spend my 21st birthday.

Out of curiosity more than anything else, am I the only one wondering how Aberdeen are sustaining their current squad wages wise and what it might mean in the long term for them? Surely the entire first team squad must be earning a fortune...

I *think* it was 13 for Ruddy and Randolph made it 14? Stattos?

I'm assuming you mean qualified out-right. Did we not get into the Europa League the season previous (I think that was via the fair play route, though? Fair point if it was!)?

Yep, Randolph beat Ruddy's record the season after Ruddy set it - so half under Brown, half under McCall.

Definitely not, I doubt Man City would send him to us. Reguero on the other hand, might be a decent shout.
