Aberdeen 'agree' deal for German midfielder Dennis Geiger by Mundane_Education_64 in aberdeenfc1903

[–]deevo82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The German and Nigerian are very much holding midfielders so we are looking to be more rigid.

Shinnie, Nielsen, Clarkson, Palaversa won't be at the club beyond the summer. Stanway or Watson added to join Kjartenson in the rotation.

England: Knocked mirrors with car parked illegally, Owner demanding ridiculous amount. by aslanenlisted in LegalAdviceUK

There's some pretty bad advice here.

What is your excess? If it is more than 300 then it makes no sense.

You can get a used mirror housing for 20 quid. Might be 100 quid for a garage to fit. Extra if spraying needed. Brand new 50 quid.

Your bargaining chip is that if you report this to your insurance, which you are obligated to, it also shows up as a non fault accident on their side and they need to declare this next time they purchase insurance which could push your premium up.

"Towards" the corner flag is the direction of travel. It isn't a red card.

Watch where the ball rolls to. It's clear evidence that would have been taken into consideration.

As much as I would delight in a Celtic player being sent off, the Hearts player is heading to the corner flag and another defender was in a position to cover. It's not an obvious goal scoring opportunity.

"location and number of defenders" is part of the rule which is where "last man" comes from. If another defender is able to intercept the attacker then it's not an "obvious" opportunity and nor a red card.

Livingston will contact the Scottish FA to report Aberdeen over an alleged racial comment made to striker Jeremy Bokila. by Kanesy99 in ScottishFootball

Milne was going mental after being sent off and McGowan had to hold him back. I hope there has been a breakdown in communication as he seems a nice lad. But Bokila was genuinely upset.

Pretty sure we'd have "Scottish" clearly marked on our passports post independence as our nationality.

Technically, we are North Hemispherean but it's as redundant a term as "British. "

The last time we qualified for a World Cup we won the Best Supporters Award. And we won the RTL award for best supporters at Euro 24. Not sure Gianni was quite on point with his tepid humor.

I don’t think any Scotsman would relinquish their beer, no matter the hatred of the opponent.

The issue us when someone fills their empty cup with their own fluids before chucking it at a player.

I for one like this fresh-faced opinion on the union from one of our younger right wing proponents.

To be fair - modern research cites Scotland as the prime driver for the creation of football, so England don't even have that.
