If the club needs £1M then we could raise it. We could be creative. I would pay £1000 up front for the right to buy my season ticket for £100 for the next five years. Mix those numbers up to suit the club and the individual. Sell more shares to the punters. Auction things off including the right to play in a match at Fir Park (been done before hasn’t it?). Maybe a number of events or initiatives over a period of time but it doesn’t seem an insurmountable total and certainly not worth selling the club for. Surely any meaningful transfer of ownership proposal would start the conversation at around £10M?

It is up to Aberdeen as a club to change to get the best out of the new manager. He could be a superstar but if the club is a basket case he will fail, or be failed by the club.

The home tickets are available to buy on their own site but aye, a £1.70 add on for postage when we put the details up.

What do Aberdeen take out of that today? Is it the confidence that they are capable of competing further up the table or is it the mental sapping devastation of defeat. Anyway, they will get a 1-0 head start before we begin to play.

I saw the Championship team yesterday and wondered if Bair might get a sniff, maybe he has timed his run brilliantly.

It would be handier if the tickets for Aberdeen were available.

Aye, too many ifs for today to have been meaningful, but it would have been mixed emotions if it had turned out that way.

Assist of the season.

Went for Bair’s against Livingston as it restarted our season.

I remember the post split for 2009/10 season. Dempster turned up at Doncaster’s office looking for the fixtures. Doncaster - ah Motherwell, Top six, well done, we weren’t expecting that. Dempster - oh! Doncaster - we have had to move some things around Dempster - that’s fine, 3 home games and 2 away, we don’t mind what order they are in Doncaster - you see, we can only give you 2 more home games, making 18 Dempster - ah well, at least one of them is Celtic, we will get a good crowd in for that one Doncaster - the thing is, you will play Celtic and Rangers away, you get United and Hibs at home Dempster - oh well, United and Hibs will bring good crowds on a Saturday afternoon Doncaster - you play Hibs midweek Dempster - f**k off

A little dip in form and it could all end up with us just having to avoid defeat against St Johnstone to stay up and condemn them to the play offs. Would it get the crowds in?

Are they avoiding a shame game because the players will misbehave? Or the fans in the ground (only Celtic fans)? Or is it the domestic violence up and down the land? Or is the concern a showdown in George Square?

He had similar on Saturday when he turned and put Kelly under pressure with a pass back. Part of this is that there obviously isn’t anyone in space to play the ball out to.

I wonder why we don’t roll a free kick back to him, clearing a wall from 15 yards is easier than getting it up and down from 10 yards. He has the power to rocket it in from 25 yards rather than trying to finesse it in from 20.
