"Aberdeen Football Club is taking legal action over damage caused to its pitch during an Elton John concert five years ago"

:blink: :lol: :D

What I find so funny in this is that ICT paid half the re-laying costs of the pitch and before the turf had even bedded in thay held a concert on it that raked in a lot of dosh. Now five years later thay want to sue. Will we be entitled to any of it? Dont think so.

Having been at said concert, I can assure you all that no matter how much money Aberdeen get back, it wouldn't be enough to make me go back to see Elton, it was rubbish!!!

4-0 at HT, seems like we might win this WC after all.

I think he didn't get on with or called out the manager at the time (Murray I think). What was the Montrose incident? I can only remember him being out for like the first half of the season injured. I didn't think he was necessarily a bad player, but just wasn't the right fit for the system, with us not playing proper wingers we needed fullback ready to overlap

Millen was brought in as Vice Captain, but he never really got going, with him being injured almost as soon as he joined us and then the extended absence after the incident at Montrose.
He was at Raith previously and there’s a cryptic comment on Wikipedia about him training on his own after an “internal matter” and they were effectively letting his contract run down.
It looks like there’s been a reconciliation with Raith now they have a different management team.

I wasn’t a fan of Millen as an individual. I felt however in his favour he brought a fierceness and intensity onto the pitch. He was always driving forward when he had the ball. He had more better than poor crosses into the box IMO.
The somewhat negative comments from some (fair few) fans may have influenced the decision (Christie’s or Millen) to go different ways. So he wont need much motivation when we meet up with Raith next season.
Just feel loosing that hard edge attitude in a player is something we might be found wanting in the Championship season coming.
