Aberdeen just confirmed there will be a cash gate for away fans

This thread is beginning to sound a bit like Brexit This deal is better than no deal. Rumours we could get a loan deal from Celtic too on another player. As much as they’re c*nts, could work in our favour

If he's with us til the end of the season I doubt that will be a factor. He's already listed as our player for the Scottish Cup

In oak’s defence, there are people who take the piss out of the benefits/foodbank system, and we’ll never be able to stop that happening. But Scottish figures show that around 60%** (from the top of my head) of people who use food banks, are actually working on a regular basis - but sometimes need a wee bit of extra help. Worrying thing for me is that a lot of corporations are going towards self service, meaning a lot of better paying jobs are being done digitally. To give you an example, I work for an insurance company - we’ve spent a load of money and time building a new self service system, knowing full well a lot of our jobs will no longer be needed when it comes in. If that’s replicated across the industry, you’ve suddenly got thousands of people accepting lower paying jobs, while we look for something that pays better, with no guarantee of finding anything. Still got to have food on the table so a foodbank could help people in that situation, if things get desperate.

We live in a society where people should be able to live in relative comfort, regardless of their wealth or social background. You're right to doubt that anyone is close to starvation - but I don't begrudge any family that pop down to a foodbank for a few tins of soup and some boxes of cereal if it helps them get to their next payday, especially when it's like minus 8 outside. I doubt anyone wants to admit to going to a foodbank - but if times get tough, it's nice to know that the help is there if you need it.

Well done St Ricky and everyone else who donated

I think the prices are ok, expected worse

Bill Leckie and Tam Cowan should have chosen their employer more wisely... Horrible company to work for, they must cringe when stuff like that comes out

He didn’t give an interview. The media have taken quotes from the enquiry and posted it as if he’s given an interview. Shady as f**k. The S*n headline was genuinely horrific. He’s such a nice lad as well. The family have set up a just giving page in her memory if anyone fancies donating. https://www.justgiving.com/remember/478925/Faye-Howard Might be a nice touch

Must be a magic hat

A concomitant statement

Fake news St Ricky. You should really change that thread title But aye, horrible bullies picking on a wee guy. Hope it hasn't dented his confidence too much, sounds like he was in the wrong place at the wrong time

Mate whos an Aberdeen fan says he's heard this rumour going about - if McInnes goes, they want Jack. Apparently the Dons board don't fancy Strachan

Maybe you just need to move closer. We’ll give you a shot of the drum

FFS. It's Livi, not

Update

Here’s a report We took the lead with an Ian McShane penalty on the 52nd minute. They lost the plot a bit and Vigurs got sent off with 10 minutes to go. Our fans were brilliant and sang the team home, Gavin Reilly sealed it near the end. I genuinely can’t explain how good our support was, ridiculously loud, the team came to us at full time to show appreciation. Love our club.

Emailed ICT to ask about the drum, they confirmed it's allowed and seemed to have no doubts that the game would go ahead

This has all got rather silly, and there’s no need for some to be rude.. Last post I’ll be making on here until the club respond A- Regarding the rules, which seem to have been plucked from thin air as we had never seen them - the definition of “insulting” needs to be established. Does insulting mean you’re not allowed any parody or “banter” at a derby match anymore? B- As we said when we first put this out, we feel the ban is disproportionate and unfair, and needs to be looked at and addressed C- To the forum users referring to us as “neds” and “silly wee boys”, that’s just rude and uncalled for. All we’ve asked for is to be treated fairly

I know who is required here Any Midori? For the record if you’d ever been in W7, you’d know it’s far from what you’re trying to paint us as. All ages, all genders. You’re getting a wee bit close to the insulting rule now

From reading those rules, the only area it could potentially fall under is insulting, depending on your definition. As we’ve said, it is borderline. We actually went and asked on the Morton fans page on Facebook if anyone was insulted - no one said they were. Think the only ones “insulted” are our a small minority of our own fans. We would know if the SPFL or Morton had complained. If this is the worst you get in 2017, you’re right in your assessment that things have improved. But if you want an environment where even banter becomes unacceptable, the atmosphere in fitba grounds will go rapidly downhill. Have a look at the PL down south. Soulless.

We’re going round in circles. Shall await a response from the club and hopefully someone will see sense

What’s changed between 2011 and now? It’s literally the same teams and the same humour. Are we really at the stage in where you can’t make a joke? Should comedians not be allowed to tell rude jokes on tv in case they offend people? stop the planet, I want off
