More like the Saints Dons games of old,none of this goals nonsense...

Possibly. You could announce the commencement of nuclear war over the main stand tannoy and naebidy would understand it.

There is currently live radio commentary of the game on Sportsound. It's actually a good Dons man doing the commentary, who usually would be freed up to do a football commentary.

The argument isn't do the old firm get more coverage then the rest, because of course they do. Likewise, Aberdeen get more coverage than most of the others too. The argument you're making is that had Celtic or Rangers been at home today, the BBC would have provided live commentary. I'm saying they couldn't and therefore wouldn't have. It's actually hypothetical as there isn't a comparable example. It's in Paris. It's an absolute disgrace they haven't sent me in all honesty. I bet if Celtic were playing in Paris they'd have sent me.

So what you are saying is that we need to take Sportscene on the road? I'd back that - after all what does the Beechgrove Garden get used for on a Saturday evening?

Merged into the correct thread

It's okay, the BBC are on it.

It has actually been a relatively lively opening eight minutes or so. I'll keep you updated

What the actual fuck. Are you on the wind up Rico A countrywide broadcaster paid for via a licence fee behaving like this, surely not Fucking disgusting

No phone? What did they look at while you were talking to them?

Can you also make sure it rains, and/or snows. Doesn't need to be all day, just during the drive down and the match itself.

Lunchtime kick-off confirmed. Both clubs, SFA and police wanted 3pm on Saturday without any TV coverage, but on behalf of @goldie03 we fought hard for a lunchtime KO. Have also convinced ScotRail not to put on any extra trains, and transport Scotland have agreed to begin roadworks that weekend.

He's had an injury that's set him back, after running out of steam in the early part of the season like the rest of our squad. His form hasn't been significantly different to Devlin's, who is only now getting the rest he could have done with three months ago. In the few games he has had since injury, he's struggled to build the partnership with Okkels that he had with McGrath, which was key to his best performances. I think people are seeing what they want to see with regard to him leaving. I've not seen a drop off in attitude or effort, simply form, confidence and match sharpness/fitness. When he came on against Hibs, he was regularly getting to the byline and trying to motivate those around him, generally showing a good attitude. The games I've seen him struggle in are those where he's had an argument with Nilsen, which seems to be a recurring thing (it almost looks like bullying! I'm sure(ish!) it isn't). His head goes down and he plays within himself and appears bothered by it. McGrath was excellent at bringing MacKenzie into the game, constantly talking to him, either pointing to where he should be, or just making huge space for him to run into. Playing him in with well weighted passes that he could just run onto, whilst also covering for him when he went beyond. It was constructive play that Okkels hasn't got up to speed with yet. Whether it's here or somewhere else, MacKenzie is playing for his future in the next few months. He hasn't earned himself a move, as nobody has offered him a pre-contract. I think he'll know that fully, and I don't think we'll see a drop off in attitude either.
