In Aberdeen over the weekend, where is the best bit for pubs? Union St? There's a lot of pubs on the streets that branch off from Union Street like Belmont Street and Shiprow has a bit of life about it now., and I suppose Justice Mill Lane and Windmill Brae although I tend to stay near the eastern side of Union Street nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we get a decent wedge for him and he doesn't remain in Scotland then he goes with my blessing (for what it's worth). I'm pretty nonplussed about Barron, he's had a very brief first-team career here. Edited October 21, 2022 by Bogbrush1903 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betting competition Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Bit from old information here but its looks like we have only made profit once in 30 years. Better hope that Cormark pays off the debt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be gutted if he just disappears over us not managing his contract situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been evident since the summer that he was never signing an extension - despite being out injured and possibly thinking that some extra pennies in his pay packet now might not be the worst idea. Apparently he has the same agent as Considine. You'd like to think if Barron was as good a dandy as he's meant to be, he'd tell the agent to golf tango foxtrot and extend his contract - but maybe his head was turned after all the press from later last season and his performance v Belgium U21s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I obviously hope he’ll sign another deal but unfortunately he’ll be able to attract a bigger range or clubs and a higher wage if the buying club are just paying a development fee instead of £2mil+.I did have it in my head that his contract was up at the end of this season so it could be worse I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hardly played for us and if we get some dough then hopefully we can reinvest it wisely with someone who wants to be at Pittodrie. Maybe the pain will ease for you when he appears in front of photographers with a green and white scarf above his head. I think a feeling of contempt will be your overriding emotion...

HarleyQuinn Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/connor-barron-offered-significant-aberdeen-28293125 You'd hope we could strike a deal with Barron. Do a Jonny Hayes like agreement. He signs a new deal and we promise to sell him for a decent fee in the summer. I haven't any issues with the youngsters wanting to leave and test the waters elsewhere so long as we profit of them. No hard feelings towards Barron. We'd all probably do the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I've been looking forward to this page, 1970. My first Cup Final, my first time at Hampden, my first time in Glasgow, my first time in a crush at Mount Florida and the furthest I had ever been from home. And Martin Buchan held up the Cup at the end of it all.Here’s a photo taken today in Angusfield Care Home.Hopefully you recognise the gentlemen on the left and right anyway? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Martin Buchan back living in the Northeast then? I just assumed that because the local press never seem to interview him that he remained in the Manchester area. Who's on the left? I'm only born in 1975 so they're before my time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Buchan still lives near Manchester - just up visiting.The gent on the left is his defensive partner in the 70 Cup final.Sadly another victim of a condition not uncommon to centre halves in particular from the 60s &70s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyQuinn Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Apparently we'd only won 2 games and were out of the league cup at this stage of the season last year. Edited October 22, 2022 by HarleyQuinn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I possibly owe handsome Jim an apology. I was maybe a little too seething after tannadice. Thats a very solid response from the team so fair play. Winning away is massive and if we could actually do that with a modicum of regularity then we might be alright. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I like Jim and he generally speaks well but he's a bit too bullish in his post match interview on RedTV for my liking. MacKenzie was a bit too soft for their goal but redeemed himself with the winner. Definitely a player in there and nowhere near as bad as some make out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
