I think it did, the brass neck of that lot. It was their fans rep Chris Crichton, that orchestrated a campaign to stop Aberdeen season tickets purchase in 2012 when we were still allowed to continue in the SPL. Absolutely bitter bastard so he is.

He is a massive celtic fan, when he was appointed I have an aquitance who is distantly related who told me so. Keep an eye on this character.

Seeing as we have fan groups demanding retrospective punishment, for SPL rules that weren't in place at the time. Then let's turn this on them, let's start by demanding that Aberdeen are relegated due to the ridiculous ground capacity rule that stopped them from going down. At the time, I highly doubt that Aberdeen would ever had made it back up in 5 years. So that is income that they have had, at the expense of Falkirk. If I was tech savvy, and had a Twitter account, then I would gladly set up a petition and crowdfunding site to force the legal argument to the SPFL.

I'm sure I read the Chinese prime minister is a massive football fan and is planning to bid for a world cup. I just suspect there is money coming from some government channels.

Is this not being bankrolled by the Chinese Government??

They have been a bit of a disappointment, losing to a team lower ranked really. Spain win tonight, and they are out. Typical Scotland though, best players injured (Kim Little, who is a bit of a superstar in the women's game) and infighting with the SFA over money matter beforehand. At least they got to the finals though, something the men's team is at least a decade away from.

Let's be fair here, we were all behind him in the run up to the Niederkorn game. However, that result was so bad, as stated on R5 as the worst British result in Europe in recent memory. Fans are entitled to really critise Pedro, and I still think he is one really bad result away from the P45. McInnes, for his resources, has done really well. I doubt that MW and Pedro could deliver the same results with that budget. Whether you like it or not, and it seems the latter for you, McInnes will be in the frame IF we are seeking out a manager in the near future.

Fair enough, great result. I hope he keeps it up next week and into the SPFL.

I would say he is one bad result away from it, oh wait we've already had it!! Who knows really, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. I'm still thinking he will be gone by October.

If only that were true.

One swallow doesn't make a summer, a good result but we have a very long way to go. Confidence will come from league matches, not glorified kickabouts.

Friendlies are absolutely nothing to get worked up about. The only main interest in these games will be from the guys going to the game, regalling us with stories about how pissed they are going to get beforehand. I'll reserve any more judgment until the Motherwell game, these friendlies are a bit of a welcome distraction but that is all.

Friendlies mean absolutely nothing, he still has a long way to go to convince me that the team is on track, and moving away from the calamity in Europe. I'll wait until 6th August, at this moment I would still like him gone but that isn't going to happen so hope he can prove me wrong.

Because we were absolutely world beaters against the 4th best team in Luxembourg. Hate to say it, but Aberdeen showed a lot more up front, and in fitness in the 2nd half than we did in two legs against Niederkorn. It's not looking good for us, we all know it - but there is an obvious state of denial at the moment - probably because we haven't seen the team play in a couple of weeks. My opinion is that we will totally garbage in the upcoming friendlies , and the pressure will build on a manager that shouldn't be here.

We should be having a team consisting of four players demanding to be captain, their ability and attitudes should shine as an example. I agree with you, and think Alves will be in China by January along with Pedro.

Without being involved in a circular argument with you, I would tend to agree with you in the run up to the season, if we hadn't had such a hiding in Luxembourg. That result, the worst in British European footballing history (as declared by R5, and I can't disagree tbh) - this manager has absolutely no clue and is sinking us to new depths. Absolutely, Barrie McKay and O'Hallaron haven't exactly been consistent, but I'm doubting that the new signings are exponentially better than them that we should be signing Pedro's praises.

You have to admit, as soon as he came in these things starting to happen is very concerning. I don't think it is a very happy squad, and I don't think Pedro is going to bring out the best in this team.

McKay, albeit with a lot poor me about his Interview. However, there are worrying things between the lines of his Interview.

As we start to look headless with Pedro, there will be plenty of players saying exactly the same - without the human rights histrionics. I think you just need to look at the treatment of O'Hallaron as an example. Pedro is ruthless in his casting out of players, I doubt he he has the ability to see a decent player and looks far too tactically inept to back up his regime. It's obvious we can't afford to get shot of him at the moment, sadly for us it will all come far too late and with a lot grief when it happens.

Do you really believe this, honestly to defend Pedro?? The league is a glorified league cup. Absolutely, there are talented players in that league, I highly doubt we have them. I also highly doubt Pedro's tactics, and training methods. Far too many ex players spouting off about him, alarm bells are well and truly ringing.

He should have been sacked for gross misconduct after that result in Luxembourg. I'm not tolerating this guy at all, and hope when he is gone that our season isn't over by the October international weekend.

I think the surprise will be new record lows for us, doubt he could top Niederkorn, but he does have the surprise element. Seriously, he needs to be gone before our season is well and truly wrecked.

We laugh at the SPL split, that league is even more ridiculous. More like an extended league cup.

Still get the "pyoor bottled against celtic" mob screaming against him every time he was linked. Pedro should be long gone now , we missed the boat with McInnes.

Indeed, adding media executive Murdoch MacLennan as its new chairman - whom I believe is a massive scum fan and I believe we have a very uncoincidental power shift. These rats will be going after the titles, absolutely no doubt about it.
