    Scottish fitba!

    I think the worry amongst Aberdeen fans, and Scottish football in general, is that it's now going to revert back to being how it's been for the last 25 years. Basically, the entire game built around two clubs and nothing for anyone else. "Armageddon" was promised (direct quote from the SPFL...

    Torquay in crisis?

    Our final two games should have a pretty good party atmosphere. I'll be coming down from Edinburgh for the Guiseley game on the final day to show my appreciation to everyone involved at the club just now. I have mixed feeling about Cox, but ultimately he was never under contract and his heart...

    Matchday Extravaganza 16/4/16

    29 games, 20 points, 44 games, 50 points. We were 1/20 to get relegated at one point, and we're safe with two games left. What an incredible result!! Hats off to Kevin Nicholson and the new wave of players.

    My year expired on 19th Jan and I renewed that lunchtime, but haven't been upgraded again yet.

    McDiarmid Park - St Johnstone Ground Guide

    They had all behind one goal and half of the main stand (side view). Behind the other goal was a mixed family stand, so home and away fans but you had to have a kid with you to get in. I don't think that stand was segregated, but certainly as you say when the first went in there was a lot of...

    McDiarmid Park - St Johnstone Ground Guide

    How Easy Was The Ground to Get To (from the station, by car, etc) It's three miles out of town, so if you are not coming by car it's a real pain. I was with three others, so we split a £9 taxi to get there and then got a £1.70 bus back into town afterwards. If Applicable, How is Parking Near...

    Scottish fitba!

    Was a good game - Aberdeen were up for the fight and deserved to win it after a slow first half hour. The gap is now three points, but unless Celtic go on a bad run it's still probably too much. Aberdeen have 6 of the next 9 away from home, including a few tricky ones. Still, after 0/12 points...

    Scottish fitba!

    I don't know, Dingwall has a population of about 5000, so about 1/60th of the size of Wigan. Even taking the respective leagues into account they're still a tiny team - a very good team though and possibly the 4th/5th best side in Scotland right now. It's a great tie for Hibs, especially as...

    Stickied Confirmed Signings 2024/25

    Waide Fairhurst left Torquay this afternoon. He seemingly has personal problems and needed to leave. Was a good signing on paper but he's never played for us and has been a total disaster. With a tiny budget, our two proven players and highest earners (Luke Young and Fairhurst) won't pull on a...

    Stickied Transfer Rumours 2024/25

    Possibly. Briscoe is still overweight and unfit eighteen months after signing for us, although given his age and fitness when he signed I doubt it was specifically because he hated it here. I think he's happy with his lifestyle and unlikely to change now, but as a result he can't finish a full...

    Stickied Transfer Rumours 2024/25

    Signing one was bad enough, but why on earth do you think a second player even we don't want is a good idea?

    Scottish fitba!

    I'll go to that if it doesn't sell out too soon. I imagine getting a ticket will be hard though. I went to Hearts vs Aberdeen in the cup on Saturday and the home end wasn't full, but with no derby this season and it being in the cup, it will sell out pretty fast I think. I've now seen Aberdeen...

    Ling Resigns

    Really, really sad news when it looked like he was excited to be back working. At least he did give it another try and helped Swindon to move out of the relegation zone. I imagine that will be it for him in management, but hopefully he can get back to his soccer school and radio commentaries and...

    Monday 28th December Match Thread

    Wind would be great for us. It helped make the FGR game low on quality. A week ago I was happy to get three tough games out the way before the window opens and we improve the squad, but now we have some momentum and a bit will get taken away within 48 hours. Anything today is a bonus. I'm only...

    Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

    No idea, scored a 25 yarder today and played quite well.

    Torquay in crisis?

    I'm not as concerned by the part-time/non-contract keepers. All they will do is sit on the bench and only see action if Lavercombe is injured or sent-off. If required, we would get just an emergency loan for anything more than part of a single game. Letting Speiss go and replacing him with these...

    Torquay in crisis?

    His comment that he 'sold them a dream' is quite damning I thought. Reality is now biting when they don't have enough money to live on, or live like an athlete should, but it's not Cox dealing with the consequences. He might not have lied to them, but if you're 18 and desperate to be a...

    Torquay in crisis?

    I think his complaint is that the budget is used up, and we have 24 odd players, but only about 8 of them can play to the required level. Cox spent the budget in full but never planned to be here past September, and the squad is a mess - no quality, but enough quantity to ensure the budget is...
