  1. Hello Aberdonians - as a fellow Scot, living in Bucharest. I’d like to share what information I can - which I hope may be of use, and indeed make for a smooth and enjoyable trip! If anyone has any questions, about anything related to the City, FCSB, transport, nightlife, do’s and dont’s etc - please feel free to ask. Airport Arrival/Transport in City: There are 2 main options. Cheapest -Train directly outside arrival terminal to Gara De Nord (main train station in the city - and metro is linked from their too) Train is not as frequent (every 40 mins) but only 20 mins to Gara De Nord station and around 6 Ron (like £1.50) Taxi - as soon as you exit the arrivals doors from getting luggage - on the left are ticket machines to get a Taxi number (all machines in English) and then you wait outside the terminal doors (a matter of yards away) and wait for your taxi number to arrive (registration of car is printed on your ticket) These are the AUTHORISED taxi companies and all on a meter (roughly 50/60 Ron (£10/15 to city centre) - DO NOT pay anything more than roughly that - if they ask for a lot more - make a fuss! But less likely if you take a registered taxi! UBER/BOLT - possible, but not allowed to pick up outside terminal - so need to walk to pick up area outside of airport. METRO SYSTEM: It’s a good one! Cheap, reliable and frequent. Best way for getting around the city as traffic is busy in the daytime. Tickets can be bought in all stations and as it’s so cheap - good option is to buy a ‘multi trip’ ticket for around (20 Ron) £5 and gets you 10 trips. NEAREST METRO Stations to Ground (walking distance) Piata Iancului Piata Muncii Accommodation Booking.com/Air BnB etc all available. In my eyes - two options (City Centre) nearest to Old Town - most expensive. Change metro line from Blue to Yellow Or slightly out of main centre but on best link to Ground via metro or taxi, plus near main Train Station (sector 1) - Options directly out of station are Ibis Gara De Nord and Hello Hotel (both main chains and you know what you’re going to get) - simple stuff! Metro to the ground from this area is around 10 mins) (on yellow line) Old Town or (Lipscani) Romanian name for area - is the busiest and most lively - but comes with highest prices and scammers etc! Good honest bar which is British owned is called Mojo - sport on TV, karaoke etc. https://mojomusic.ro/ Option nearest the Train Station is arguably one of the best traditional Pubs in Bucharest - Dubliner Irish Pub. It’s the closest you’ll get to back home, quite a large ex-pat community of Scots too! A few Aberdonian’s working in the oil industry here. Multiple TV screens for sport - bespoke darts room (9 boards) great Irish Breakfast and pub food (cottage pie) Guinness, Kilkenny, Peroni, Ursus and Kozel on draught and then all the other usual spirits, shots etc. https://dubliner.ro/menu/ Piata Victoriei and Gara De Nord nearest metro stations to Dubliner Irish Pub and 10 mins to ground. There’s a lot more could add - but this is for starters - please feel free to ask anything you want! Enjoy your trip and hopefully you’ll be going into it with a nice first leg lead!

  2. For sure!!! FCSB are a good team in Europe, but have been a touch lacklustre this season. if you get a lead in the first leg, you’ve a really good chance of going through. I’ll be cheering you on, that’s for sure!

  3. I think mistake we made was pairing him another inexperienced centre back last season. Set the lad back. I still think with right coaching there is a good centre back in there.

  5. Stadium, 180 bed hotel, conference centre, health spa and retail (lot of non football things to go wrong there). 4.5miles away from oxford centre in neigbouring town of Kidlington but doea have the bonus of a railway station This is similar to Bolton shifting to the Reebok except unlike Oxford they werent getting evicted from their old ground and had parachute payments from the premier league to help finance it Great they got planning approval but that just means the council will let them build it. Actually getting the builders on site on the other hand.....

  6. Five years gives him plenty of time to go through the journey from shite, to pity, to works hard, to we always knew he'd be good, to injured before leaving for a pittance with six months left on his deal.

  7. Has a very good scoring record though (for his age/position) and very highly rated; the talk is one of the Old Firm are actually tracking him, so would be a bit of a coup to get him ahead of whoever it is. As much as we all love Shayden Morris - the beautiful cup winning bastard he is - I think we've all said we need to upgrade on him if we want to progress and this guy looks the business.
