Supertramp - Give A Little Bit

Me and the wife got engaged at the causeway, wasn’t the original plan, but here we are. Loved it, and did our own little tour along the coast, but thankfully we were well and truly outside of marching season. To this day I’m still gutted lush wasn’t open when we were there. Had always been on a hit list of nights out growing up and it wasn’t like it was an area of the world I was likely to frequent again. Still , a great night in harbour bar! Good luck to anyone going to this fixture though.

My mother is from that part of the world so spent a lot of my childhood over there. I was also over in Belfast a few weeks ago for a wedding. So, read carefully, because you won't get this from taxi drivers or tourists boards. Even the locals won't tell you. You need this whether you're staying in Belfast or a little outside. When you get there, everyone will tell you about tayto crisps. Fuck tayto crisps - they're bang average. The crisps you want are hunky dorys. Get the buffalo flavour. Get the big packet. Get a few big packets. Unreal. Have not found them anywhere in Scotland, have too much pride to order them online.

P.S. .. Ah bought a right braw pair o' new boots in Cushendall .... and when we got the aforementioned taxi, Ah put ma boots ... in the boot. Efter gettin drapped aff, A noticed Ah nae longer had ma new boots. Nae probs ... the taxi Co. phone number was displayed on the shelter at the wee train station, and there wis a public phone jist yards awa .... so Ah phoned up, jist a minute or two efter drap-aff ... and wis tellt .. "Sorry, we've contacted the driver, and no boots found" .... bastards! ... but Ah still say Orange bastards!

Back in 1992 .... a relatively peaceful time in Northern Ireland, I got married (in Aiberdeen) on June 26th ... and my newlywed wife and I decided part 1 of our honeymoon would be a week touring the Antrim Glens. Ah'll nae gie ye a blow by blow ... there were many beautiful moments, and a couple of, thankfully brief, shitty moments. The worst tho, was in no way brief! ... it was on the way back on the Sea-Cat. It's now early July ... and as we get to the Sea-Cat terminal, there are armed Garda posted here and there. It occurs to us that we will be travelling to Scotland with an Orange band! It was fucking horrible! The Orange band members were not a problem .... it was the fucking entourage ... mostly guys - late teens to early 20s. For the whole (mercifully short) journey, these guys constantly whistled their ghastly tunes quietly and drummed their fingers on the tables .... the cumulative effect was an atmosphere of pure fucking menace. We were glad to get the fuck off that ferry .... but when going to collect our luggage, it was buried under fucking cases, Orange uniforms and hoorin' big drums .... we were gettin a bit short o' time tae get the train connection back home! ... So my newly wedded lost the plot (or found it?) ... She marched up tae the trolleys, spotted our rucksacks ... chucked all drums cases, uniforms tae fuck, and marched back towards me with a fuckin huge rucksack held up in each hand!! ... Tae say it was impressive is an understatement! Heroic might be accurate. For all that bravado, though, we still missed our fkn train .... and despite splashin' oot on a taxi tae catch the next available connection in ... Girvan? Irvine? ... we missed that one as well. Got hame eventually at some shit hour in the mornin' ... and needless tae say, if Ah thought Ah couldna hate the cunts onymair before, Ah found an upgrade! Best o' luck tae aa Dandies headin' ower .... and a fkn safe journey!

France looking frighteningly good. Some of the football played was a joy to watch.

I did look at flights in and out in same day just out of interest but never seriously considered it. Fuck being anywhere in Northern Ireland at this time of year. Just seems to be a really odd decision by the club.

It's a good job this is being shown after the watershed, because that second goal was XXX-rated pure filth.

Omg they are an absolute joy to watch Mbappe's goal was sublime

Frogs lead Neeps 1-0. I haven't checked, but I assume that Mbappe scored.

Maybe get a drink out of a loving cup...

Aye nae doubt. Be a day for keeping your wits about you.

Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies

Wet Wet Wet - Sweet Little Mystery

Sarah McLachlan - Building A Mystery

Flute band and a traditional march

I booked flights last week when I heard about it. Belfast is a cracking city and a great night out. Just not Saturday 11th of July. Suspect Robinson has been the driver behind this but who in their right mind has agreed this. Utter madness and I'm even crazier going. I wonder what "entertainment" they will have laid on for us??? :):):)

That was not my impression even remotely. I thought he worked hard and pressed well with only his passing letting him down. I personally think he's worth keeping, stick him on loan to the championship and I would wager he comes on in leaps and bounds with regular game time.

It's really hard to argue with this 2bh

Honestly can’t think of a less appealing fixture

The Housemartins - Build

Anyone contemplating this easyJet return from Glasgow

Wouldn't argue overly strongly with either of you to be honest. I don't imagine he is on a huge wage and not sure his value is likely to be any greater now than potentially in twelve months time which is why I still feel we should keep him but send him on loan to a championship team (Arbroath or similar). If he doesn't cut the mustard, then that to me would be the time to sell. Either way however, not going to challenge you guys to a square go over it

"Linfield are staging the fixture as part of a wider family open day, with Aberdeen supporters also having access to a dedicated FanZone within the stadium with food, drinks and entertainment on offer."
