  1. I think Morris and Rubezic will both start, but I'd go with Vinnie and MacDonald. Would be good to see some of Palaversa. Nisbet looking likely to sign before Sunday too, expect him to be on the bench.

  2. You need enough space around the stadium for the entire capacity to be evacuated into a controlled space whilst still allowing space for emergency vehicles. You also need to plan for 20000 odd people suddenly packing into an area with infrastructure not currently designed to accommodate it. Road, pavement and junction improvements, traffic management Utility upgrades etc Football stadiums dont get 'compulsary purchase orders. One reason Arsenal's stadium was so expensive was not only did they have to buy the surrounding buildings, they also had to buy replacement houses/ commercial properties for the occupants. Stamford Bridge's redevelopment was effectively cancelled due to the objections of one lone householder. Carparking under a very large structure with significant weight fluctuations on former victorian industrial site with an underground stream on one side and a railway tunnel on the other? Network Rail held up a housing project near Edinburgh because 4 houses were too close to the roof of a tunnel. When asked what they think about having a stadium built close if not on top of their tunnel the short answer will ne 'No' and the long one 'FUCK no' Finally Emergency Access 'under a building'?! Yeah you really want to be parking the fire engine under the raging inferno. Gonna throw this out there. Whatever you may think or Architects, Stadium Designers, Engineers, Town Planners, and the Officials at the Club, do you think if Broadford works was a feasible they wouldnt have considered it?

  3. Personally, I hope it’s the both of them, probably bavidge on a short term loan. Need both sokler and nisbet to get up and running both goals and confidence wise. Risky, but then we do have pape as back up and I’m sure McGrath could do a job. unsure about nisbet but if JT can get him playing again, and hopefully build soklers confidence, then why not. I’m fine with the loan, gives us time to find the right replacement, be it sokler or a.n.other.

  4. Pretty underwhelmed by this 2bh, I agree that he's a solid striker at this level but I question the boys professionalism. That said, he's 27 now and maybe the penny has dropped that he doesn't have too long left in the game to make something resembling an impact on it. If that's the case and he comes in with an improved attitude this may yet prove a shrewd bit of business because he defo knows where the net is. I'm interested if we have an option to make it permanent or if this is seen as a stop gap from the outset.

  6. 3.6 miles from station to Cinieworld according to google maps and new location is a bit further along Kingsway so added 10 minutes to their 1 hour 35 estimate to Cinieworld. Vast majority of that uphill. Nobody is really walking that. Only way of reaching the site will be car or bus. I am cynical about the claims about shuttle buses as bus companies just don’t carry enough capacity to run existing services never mind extra match day services. It will also add additional cost to those travelling by public transport.

  7. Should have been agreed before the start of the season that should they still be in contention, then certain games would be moved. Complaining a few days to go, in a game they were always going to lose was ridiculous. And he has been bleating all week, just get on with the job. It’s just another game and it’s not like they travelled far. It’s fucking Denmark ffs.

  8. He want to 'force' his way back into the scotland team? Signing for the Dons will give him the same powers as Shergar, Lord Lucan and Juan Cobian in terms of Scotland National team visibility
