It's an interesting couple of what ifs. Had we beaten Porto, would we have beat Juventus? A team that had five World Cup winners in it, won the European Cup the following season, and had Platini, Rossi and Scirea in it? Obviously we would have, but they might have given us more of a game than Real Madrid did. But even though I was four years old at the time, 1986 seems a hell of a missed opportunity. Gothenburg lost on pens to Barcelona who then lost on pens to Steau Bucharest. No wonder we got rid of Fergie a few months later.

I wanted to like The Incomer but it wasnt for me

It's pretty depressing, dismal stuff. Good enough film though i thought. I read it spiked a lot of peoples anxiety (including the cast) when it was aired.

Porto were worse, they cheated us out of retaining the ECWC. I was on holiday in Porto a few years ago and my wife and daughters asked me if I wanted to visit their stadium. They couldn’t understand why I was so vociferous in my refusal.

I once watched the first half hour of Threads in the middle of the night. I didn't sleep well that night. I still haven't watched it all.

His birthday is the day of the League Cup final and god dammit that boy will be fit to win yet another trophy. Tobers ⭐ ⭐

Duran Duran - Save A Prayer

I loved Project Hail Mary we had a big family outing to the cinema to see it as we had all read the book Digger I thought looked pish from the trailers The Incomer was v good and Pressure too

I went to the cinema to see Crime 101. It was OK but i felt it was trying way to hard to be Heat. It was no where near as good as Heat. Hail Mary is really good. Took me a while to get in to it but 2nd time around I thought it's a bit of a classic. Watched Threads the other night. An old BBC production about a nuclear attack on the UK. Sheffield to be precise. Very dated, unsurprisingly and obviously very bleak. Had the old 80's instructional video kinda vibe. Think the old early morning adverts telling you to check on the old biddie next door if she's got 16 bottles of milk going sour at her front door. One thing for sure if there is a nuclear attack you'd be better off getting incinerated in the initial blast rather than having to scavenge your way through a nuclear winter. I also went to the cinema to watch Digger. Walked out after half an hour.

On a recent trip to convict land, aka oztraylya, watched crime 101 and project Hail Mary. Enjoyed both, first being about a jewellery thief who committed crimes along the 101 in LA. Decent watch which didn’t require any thought. Project Hail Mary was decent enough too, another that didn’t require thought and just an enjoyable watch and pretty much a solo performance from Ryan gosling.

Feels like we’ll always be saying your last sentence for a long time.

Gyamfi and Lyons fit for Aberdeen again. Full squad to pick from except Tobers who "is still a few weeks away".

The Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen

Just testing 😬

Blake Shelton - God Gave Me You

We didn't lose to Porto in the European Cup, it was IFK Gothenburg.

Michelle Branch - You Get Me

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - U Get Me High

Which bit is wrong in the quote?

I wonder what they have planned for the 40th anniversary of them not winning a cup? A dinner with all the surviving players? A special commemorative retro kit for the 2027-28 season? An open-topped bus display through Dundee where the players show off their runners-up medals? I can't wait.

They made up for it a couple of years later

Tom Petty - High In The Morning

Cat Stevens - Morning Has Broken

Bob Dylan - New Morning
