Searching for the Young Soul Rebels is one of my all time favourite LPs. Never saw them play though.

I went to Kev’s book tour in Edinburgh in July. He was interviewed by his fellow Midlander Stewart Lee. Utterly fabulous. Word of a new album on its way this year, and if Dexys tour it, I suppose I’ll have to attend for what I think would be the 13th time.

Look up, not down. Aberdeen will finish 6th or 7th. Before that we'll storm into the semi final tonight.

Dees go above us with a win over Motherwell. I know we're not allowed to mention the "r" word (nae rangers) on here, but my buttocks have clenched a little tighter today.

It's of no shock to me that you're a better man than I Jute

Done it for a couple of big games including league decider at Ibrox. It was shite but if only way in then I would do it again.

Maroons min! 3-2 away in Wick. A long journey home, with the Wick off-licence mannie rubbing his hands in anticipation.

Hopefully the media and the massed ranks of pundits will cease with all the pro-motherwell hysteria now. It was absolute nonsense to suggest they were in with even a sniff of the title. Utter madness.

Recently read 'Fascism A Very Short Introduction' by Kevin Passmore. Published by Oxford University Press. It was surprisingly interesting. I thought it was important to get a grip on what the fascist ideology actually was and as I suspected the word is being misused by the people who typically throw around slurs without knowing what they mean.

Ian Huntley. Apparently his head was quite a gory sight. Shame.

Same here. I couldn't do it, no matter the occasion.

First the Belmont, then this. Flashbacks to coming back after my uni placement to discover the palace, amadeus and Glow 303 were no more

I've never done it and I honestly don't think I could. There's no danger I could sit on my hands for 90 minutes, I would be booted out within 20 minutes

So make him an offer he cannot refuse and see what happens. Surely worth a punt? What a load of complete bollocks. How on earth have you come to that conclusion? So his level is 13 points above us and in the cup semi with significantly less resources that he would have at the Dons. So you have concluded that he would not be capable of more with (supposedly) better players at his disposal?

This box has many of the majors of “angry young men/new wave” [for that clumsy attempt at genrefication..] but it’s about 2.5 times the price I paid for it years ago. https://www.giftofsound.co.uk/do/product/Woodfall_A_Revolution_in_British_Cinema Puzzle: were Rita Tushingham and Wilko Johnson - around 1974 - ever seen in the same room at the same time?

It will be a strange one for me. I am regularly at EEP and probably more familiar with their players than The Dons ones these days. I missed last years semifinal as we were in Hospitality at EEP for my youngest boys 18th. We were positioned to see a TV showing the game and managed to see the winner go in as we were being told to go to our seats in the stand. Regardless of who wins today my boys will be wanting to go to the semifinal (I just hope it’s not the winner of the first tie tomorrow). I am in the Main Stand with my Dad (in his 80s and the reason I support the Dons) while my boys will in Section NW. It should be a great atmosphere today EEP is a great place when it’s full. We need to score early and score twice to have any chance. I am dreading it being 0-0 on 90 minutes and the Pars getting a corner!

Just read Departure(s) by Julian Barnes - the last book he says he’ll write. Not a novel per se, more an exploration of life, death and relationships. i haven’t always enjoyed his later work but thought this was great. Devoured it in a couple of days as was off work.

Nice morning in the Capital and looks sunny over in Fife. Great day for cup football. Assuming Mitov will continue in goal today. Hoping we go with a back 4 today to allow us an extra attacking player. McIntyre being available is a should mean him and Milne in the middle with Lobban or Jensen at right back and would go Frame at left back as his defensive frailties won’t be tested as much today and he can put in a decent cross. Midfield would go with Shinnie Armstrong and Cameron with Keskinen Olusanya and Nisbet up front. Approach this in the right manner and we win comfortably. In train then pub away end pub then train back to capital 2-0 Keskinen and Nisbet

Lumped on. Only got 4/6 at Coral but it's money for old rope.

This boy is absolutely mental. "Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP".

Best of luck with being in the home end. Done it a few times as an away fan, and I hate it. But at least it’ll be almost a home from home for you. Fingers crossed we’re in the hat for the next round !

I might watch it this evening, and the early hours of tomorrow.

Safe travels for those coming down to Fife today. A wee bit local advice for those driving down. Free parking is available at Leys Park near the police station. This is a short walk from the town centre and EEP, however it’s the other end of the ground from the away stand and will be gridlocked for a while after the game. On street parking may be available in the Garvock Hill area near the stadium but I would imagine it will get very busy and don’t park on the pavement! If you fancy a walk, Asda and the Halbeath Retail Park just off the M90 have a large parking area though it’s about a 30 minute walk to the ground. The walk can be interrupted by a visit to The Elizabethan on the way(if you can get in). I will quietly be cheering on from the Main Stand today and hope that my sons are looking forward to next week against Raith instead of a Cup Semi Final at full time. COYR
