As much as this was a kick in the Sandy Shaws, I'm still unsure as to how the draw was made despite watching it live. Doubt I'm the only one here who would rather it was the luck of the draw instead of a play between seeds and non-seeds? The cream would still rise to the top regardless of co-efficient or am I too simplistic in my thinking? Sure, if they want to keep with the corrupt persona that precedes them, Uoofa could use the heated balls we have here for cup draws in Scotland no?

Paperwork is now complete Awaiting Agent Burrows... The old adage 'There's NO panic at Fir Park' is very apt.

Ooh pipe down precious. You did what so 'many find rewarding' in Athens and have moaned about your experience since! As for 'some elitists', what a lot of piss. Met plenty away from the throng on many trips, some having become life long friends, some I simply tip a nod to in the passing at various games home & away. All still enjoy congregating in a top away support as we do on the continent - also enjoy embracing local cultures adding value to he/she's trips & not treated like mug punters (and before some pick up on it, understand it's an only means for some attending the fixture) on charter trips and/or ex-pat premises as was the point of Grimmy's post. Discussing 'the weave on our crew necks' is a MUST on every trip right enough... So is not dressing like a Christmas tree

Strictly tongue in cheek comment from me, my thinking is the same as yours otherwise.

Only if it sprouts wings... Manchester's not on the West Coast Main Line.

'cause the orcs who have phoned/mailed the Daily Record hotline say so... or if James McFadden had played at ours all season... Nae arsed about them winning, but, could have called them much, much worse.

In a similar vein, young member of extended family has caught the bug and it's largely down to the work of the Bois. Given the kid had a strong Earl Haig background previously, surprised when I clocked him leaving the Cooper Stand post our latest defeat of the eventual tainted league winners and did a little digging. "Spent most of the match when he wasn't cheering videoing that lot at the far end of that stand" I was told. Had him join us for Ross County in the penultimate match... Hooked

I clocked this little gem... Deary me, big opinion of himself has 'more seconds than the town clock shitty panted' Imrie...

Little or none of them going given the cancellation of the bus this morning... next week at Morecambe is their planned return.

Enjoyed the Friday night fixtures, but, early Saturday evening kick offs will rule me out on occasion given the shift pattern required in my line of work. Surprised that Polis Scotland will wear this. Can't see the usual deflection when the Shettleston Harriers misbehave at their next match after a day on the lash... Saying that, Polis Scotland maybe then leave the loyal orders in peace.

Nae really fussed seeing as it's the first match. Be a good test, with the weather playing it's part, all about getting match fit prior to Europe.

Kilts you say? Our only issue... It's not a wedding, it's Motherwell we're going to see. Mitch get the job done, plenty of takers if you're not man enough

Bully for you, not an issue for those I'm travelling with or I.

Be as well nipping over to Belziehill Farm... Plenty to choose from around the Frenchgate and town centre and the odd one on what would be a brisk walk to the ground. Surmise we'll head for town centre then taxi to the ground where we'll also have a beer there as some of the laws for enjoying yourself inside sports stadia differ to the draconian thinking up here.

Doubt you are in the minority there with that proposal, the very point was raised and noted by the board. Given there is no requirement to pay annual subscriptions I'd like to see this progressed as a viable revenue stream.

Personally I'd vote for decorator to represent the club at the jolly draw in Nyon. Given he's represented the club at every European fixture EVER... and that includes Albania for those who didn't know. He's got pictorial evidence to prove it too #GrimmyforNyon

Amended.

Staying you say? He wasn't signed in the first place given they couldn't register any contract and then were again placed under transfer embargo unless the goalposts have been shifted?

The fear? Do yourself a favour...

He did a full pre-season at Dalziel Park last year and he benefitted right enough... Money aside, he never kicked a ball in anger for months. He'll have a head over heart decision to make very, very soon.

Granted. He was still a wage thief.

Relegated? Not quite seeing the other teams strengthening... Same old, same old Aberdeen already laying claim to 2nd place on signing some erm, quality. Deary me, not one would make it into our top 11 as it stands! In fact, who out of all close season signings by others would we have? I'd surmise many on here would say none. Going quietly about our business is how we do it. Early yet, given it's Monday before the window opens too. Additions will be made and Daley aside, each McCall signing has contributed.

Costa Geriatrica Take it the kids will be away at Cowdenbeath?
