A hilarious, teenage girl-like over-reaction, given that Aberdeen have been in either 1st or 2nd place all season, and that Celtic only actually won the league a week ago. Have either of you ever actually been to a football game ? I'm wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the logic in that but the convention has always been that the 99 year is the last of the century. Made easier by the fact that there was never a year 0AD (or 1AD for that matter)...

sbcmfc Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Pretty disappointing stuff from Motherwell today. Mcghee has started tinkering with the line up, which I suppose is fair enough given where he's gotten us and with an eye on next season, but feel sorry for the 280 'well fans that parted with £26 to watch that humiliation against a poor Celtic side.

Horologists seem to not have that convention and they should know. Even wiki has it " The 21st century is the current century of the Anno Domini era or the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It began on January 1, 2001, and will end on December 31, 2100" Edited May 16, 2016 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i've said before and at the time in 2000. Pretty funny being in Edinburgh and everyone celebrating the millennium and it wasn't. Collective ignorance on a grand scale. I'll need to look for my old post about it, it was the crowning achievement in human ignorance. hundreds of millions of folk celebrating a year early cause they use a calendar they actually don't understand but think they do.

But I'd rather go to a cracking party a year early than a shite one a year late just to show how well I understand the Gregorian calendar!

Thanks Redz, and good luck in the top div next year. hopefully we can get back up soon and get those special games v the dons back on. very interested to see how we get on next year - more hopeful now with McKinnon in place, but if we don't come back up quickly it will be very tough on the club.
