All Activity

I've been keeping an eye out for this every so often, christ, was it that long ago we were chatting about the first one? Hopefully it's still on my kindle (wherever that is). We've actually joined the local library (I know!) and getting proper books. Been great actually and have started reading a few of the Michael Connelly books, mainly the Harry Bosch series. Been good. Currently reading a Damian Lewis SAS book.

Just done same. Ah, simpler times when the internet was a tameable mistress. Halcyon days. Some names cropping up I’d long forgotten as I’m not much of a social media frequenter. Whatever happened to Bazig?

I actually think you might be right. It feels like time to chalk up an actual comfortable, dare I say ‘deserved’ win. Suspect Helen has her eyes on the final and players won’t want to miss that through injury. If hammer throwers aint throwing hammers then they’ve got sod all else to do. All I ask is we play 3 midfielders please. Fire up the 352 mobile and get the Markev goal machine on full throttle.

Funny, much like people were drawn to miovski back in the day, I was drawn to devlin, blue collar hard working pro. Bit like a rougvie, simmie, cooper, maybe more recently Andy considine, even a Ross mcccrorie. Much like shinnie, if only we had more Scottish players like them (I suppose non Scots are ok too.) i was very proud of him when he played for Scotland and gutted when he didn’t play in the latter part of last season, a factor in our form and results in my opinion. Worth noting our form has picked up this season when he stayed in the team, not a huge deal and I know we changed formation, but a factor.

Rico Jackson - Got to be startin something

I was inspired by st mirren highlights I saw earlier from Dec 2021, a 4-1 win where superstars like Ojo, Jet, Watkins, and David bates graced pittodrie. If they can score 4, we can get 3!!

We seem to have sold out behind the goal but the main stand sections at the Aberdeen end don't seem to be on sale. Yet?!

Kylie Minogue - Got to Be Certain

You won't get any hate from me. I'm a man of peace.

Have we sold that little section to the right in the main stand?

What is this madness you speak. 3 whole goals

I think he means picking the team. How can he surprise and baffle us all with the line up and tactics. Again. topi on the right, milanovic on the left, karlsson at 10 behind lazetic. Aouchiche and polvara at 6 and 8. Alternatively drop karlsson and put Clarkson alongside polvara with Aouchiche at 10. im going to stun you all and predict 3-1 us. 3 goals in one whole game, big early Xmas prezzie coming! lazetic karlsson and Aouchiche/milanovic.

I’d compare him a bit to Morris. Shady kept cutting inside when he first played here, even though we all saw he had pace. Pretty sure someone eventually told him to just take the guy on the outside and hit the line every time. Got to the point where he was very successful and got goals and assists. IF we play milanovic on the left, I dont see why we couldn’t have similar. Same potentially with topi on the right. I’ve seen inverted wingers work, but it isn’t for us, would really like to see them on the other side and told to attack on the outside.

That finished 2-2. Newcastle’s 2nd was another farce of a VAR decision. Spurs getting a draw with 2 shots 2 goals.

Finished 4-5 to Man City. On to Newcastle v Spurs game now.

Wild game at Craven Cottage between Fulham and Man City. Man City were 1-5 up but now been pegged back to 4-5.

Looks like our allocation has been sold out. Good effort. Anybody know if we are getting more tickets?

To be honest I couldn't remember how much we paid for tickets, would probably have said a fiver as I had just started my first full time job and was on £50 per week Set me thinking though and found this poster, would appear as if tickets were £2.50 which in the context of what I was earning as a seventeen year old was brilliant value. Really wish I kept all my ticket stubs from all the gigs over near fifty years

I think Milanovic may come good too. Think the lad just needs a goal and a run of games to get his confidence up. Not convinced he is a winger though.

Wow, that I would have loved to have seen that tour. I would have been about 6 at the time. Very jealous of that claim. I bet it cost you about a couple of quid for a ticket too.

Possibly the greatest remix of all time:

So having resurrected the music thread it is time to get the book one back up and running. First thing is first @manc_don I have just read the first Walter Lucius book again as I see that the third one in the trilogy was eventually published. It was every bit as good second time around. Think it must have been eight or nine years ago we were reading them

I saw Madness for the first time as part of the Two Tone tour many many years ago, think it might have been 1979 or possibly 1980 Saw Squeeze at Summer Nights In The Park back in August 2024 Bizarrely we are off to see Jools Holland this Friday

I listen to loads of music on a daily basis, mainly through the radio, but got a fairly large collection of my own that I like to give a blast too. I'm off to see The Skids on Saturday night and then have Squeeze/Madness on Sunday night, so been blasting a bit of their albums the past few days, to get in the mood for the concerts. I like Madness a lot, but only going this time around, to see Squeeze.
