  1. Well that's just nonsense. Plenty examples of sport being used in a positive way in politics. During apartheid etc.
  2. I think Hearts would. They are the only other club comparable in size.
  3. There is but if they hypothetically gave you 50% to start, where do you start selling them? You can't sell the north and south at the same time or else you'd end up with 15,000 empty seats behind the goals.
  4. Probably all fair points. I'll add another in, Aberdeen have a very substantial minority of their support from the central belt. I could name half a dozen folk i know from Saltcoats/Ardrossan/Stevenston alone who go to more away games watching Aberdeen than they do at Pittodrie. I've never known a Hearts or Hibs fan from the same area. I'm pretty sure that's replicated across much of the central belt as when i was at Uni there were two Dons fans in my class and 1 was from Strathaven and one was from Clydebank! There can't be a semi final at a weekend in the last 40 years where the crowd has been as low. Not a dig, just an observation as we had similar numbers vs Celtic at Hampden in the league cup last year. Admittedly a lot closer but off a lot smaller fan base.
  5. I was surprised by how poor the Aberdeen attendance was tbf. Especially compared to Hearts.
  6. Last years was 530 to avoid the FA Cup final. Same thing will happen this year as no chance Sky will want a clash.
  7. There was a Euro 2020 specific app where our tickets were added to. Is there going to be similar for this summer?
  8. If the SNP get rid of the Green oddballs due to this then again it's some good news.
  9. They've had a year to come up with evidence so much have a pile of it. No wonder the SNP is fucked with clowns like him in charge.
  10. Fuck me there's a blast from the past! Why did you sack off Scotland games, just fed up? Don't think i could ever give up Scptland or Killie games. I will probably cut down on aways at some point as i rarely miss a Killie game and do maybe 3 or 4 Scotland trips a year but don't think i could go cold turkey!
  11. I'm not sure why you are making stuff up but he 100% played 90 mins vs Killie at Parkhead in Feb, i know, as i was there. Just looked it up and he started the previous week at Easter Road too. He's not featured in the last 5 games (unused sub) but he featured in 4 out the 5 before that (starting in two of them and playing 30 mins in each of the other two) Ralston and Johnston have had very similar minutes on the park this season - my point was that Ralston has proven in the past he can do a job for Scotland without massive amounts of game time.
  12. I'm going back to Essen. Seem to run all night 00.30, 00.49, then 02.09am etc.
  13. Who would you have dropped from our midfield for Ferguson? I like Ferguson as a player, he has 12 caps now and not overly done much in any of those caps (albeit mainly subs) Gilmour ahead of him and NI game showed how much we miss McGregor.
  14. Absolutely not. Play your best players at their best positions.
  15. Johnston has played 359 mins of league football this season (1,172 mins in all comps). Ralston has played 789 mins (987 mins in all comps) Johnston has featured in 14 league games, Ralston has featured in 13. Ralston has 8 caps already, he's 100% ahead of Johnston on the pecking order. Might be different if Johnston was starting most weeks but he's mainly a sub for league games.
