No, I have a decent grasp of new music and the youngsters aren't overly interested in it, like they once would have been. My youngest listens to loads of old stuff, says modern stuff aimed at his age group is mainly pish. His words, not mine. It's music, but not as we knew it. Possibly a lot of it is down to the streaming age and everything being on tap. They'll never know the joy of taping music off the radio, which was once deemed to be the ruination of the music industry.

Assume link to Boston/Scotland

Has anyone watched tonights Sportscene? Was theres there any reason given as to why a photo of Norm from Cheers (the American TV show, nae the gay bar in Aberdeen), underneath their table holding the league trophy? Very random.

I believe, whenever apposite, she still says, “Do keep up”.

Careful, old man shouting at clouds territory here. There will be loads, we’re all just too old to be fully aware of them.

Great day out today. Atmosphere was good and for the most part the game was too. Thought we sat off them after the second as we had battered them for first 30mins. They offered very little and then a goal out of nowhere has us shitting the bed for 20mins. Thought the introduction of Topi gave them enough fear they sat off again and we got a grip of the latter stages. Great to see both Aouchiche and Nisbet getting goals, hopefully that lifts confidence. You could see how much Aouchiche enjoyed it, looks a confidence player. Brilliant to see Lazetic at the final whistle, he fucking loves the aggro.

Just back home from The Skids gig. My kind of gig, finished at 9:45. Us rock n rollers. An excellent gig. Richard Jobson came across very well as a front man and gave a little history about the songs played and took the piss out of himself. The band were excellent too. No idea if the bassist was the original one, looked about the right age. Their young guitarist was very good. Stuart Adamson, as a guitarist left big shoes to fill, but the lad filled them well. Amazing how much young folk go to these gigs of bands from yesteryear. I suppose kids don't really have much music scenes to get into now. It's all very safe and sanitised for. the most part. I was too young for The Skids first time around, bar the ones in my pants, but got into all that late 70s early 80s music by having considerably older brothers and sisters who were well into music of all sorts. With Aberdeen winning too, it's been a good day.

What have Aouchiche and Armstrong done to deserve such ruthless decapitalisation?

As much of a pain as it is that our games will be so late, at least we're not playing at midday in 35 degree heat.

I hope he can pull off another relegation with them. This time, for good.

History will be made on Thursday December 11th when Aberdeen take on Ligue 1 outfit RC Strasbourg Alsace. It will be the first time in Aberdeen's illustrious 58 year history in European competition that we will have played a team from France. RC Strasbourg finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season. They used to be great, then they were pish, then they were good again. A bit like us. I fancy a 2-1 home win under the lights at Pittodrie. It'll be one of those memorable European nights that the old stadium has seen over the decades.

.... and the cunt scores a second

Twenty one years ago yesterday we lost our little Moroccan magician. How apt that on that anniversary the World Cup draw pairs us with Morocco.

Obviously meant Lobban!

Ah said tae ma chum efter oor game finished ... it would be fkn typical if Bohun Miovski scored tae restore the filth's 5 point advantage .... maybe Ah should hae kept ma trap shut

Thon cunt puts Huns ahead at Killie

From the away end Nisbet's goal looked class, looking forward to seeing it on TV. Thought Logan looked really good again for about an hour (some crunching tackle for his booking) but then began to get run ragged. Shame Armstrong's free kick hit the post otherwise the 2nd half would have been a bit more comfortable. As someone posted what the fuck was Adil thinking trying to run down the clock with over 10mins to go?

Could play them both!

Having donned the lice repellent-saturated biler suit, and sterilised every last tiny part of me, I had a gander at what the self-appointed podcast gurus and golfers who scratch crude runes into stones at a tumbledown plastic hellhole, are thinking, not two minutes from where the magnificent Dons secured victory this afternoon. The topic, second in the listing, under “Whit’s wrang wi shaggin yer suster, eh?” Was “Goodwin Out?”, a bit of a tumble from the hosannas for their Sir Jim of last season. “Tactically we have been miles off it since he got his new contract. We seem unable to fix the problems that we have and we are gifting goals to the opposition, week in week out. The line up for this game was totally void of any attack. A lot of players are underperforming and we aren't doing the basics right...and that has to fall at the feet of the coaches and manager.” “Does anybody else think that we need to pull the trigger sooner rather than later?” “Get him to f*ck, we are sliding downhill faster than a f*cking Jamaican Bobsleigh team!” “Not posted in a long time but so angry how we are playing. I Agree to many games this season we have seen utd fall behind due to Goodwin tactics. We see so many games where we are poor first half then different second. This falls at the feet of Goodwin. I just don’t see any improvement as things stand. U look at other teams Falkirk, Motherwell and they are on the front foot looking to go forward. We sit back and defend and even at that we are s@@@ at. The amount of goals we have conceded this season is shocking. But it’s all down to Goodwin and how he sets us up. Time for change before it’s too late.” “Along with the other Goodwin and Mathers the goalie coach.” “Honestly just not anywhere close to good enough. He has to go,but he won't. What a depressing time to be a United fan.” “need to calm down. I am fcuking furious. Gonna leave things until tomorrow. (hopefully, just be really angry by then)” “I had to turn it off mate, next door were getting a bit concerned about my mental state” “Not for me, he's deserves a crack at sorting this out in my opinion. I'll admit it's hard to see that happening this season but he deserves a chance.” “I kind of agree that he deserves a crack at it, but nothing recently even suggests that he is trying to fix it! I just don't think we can afford to wait until next season as we will 100% be in the Championship! I think Ogren also has a big part to play in what happens next as we are definitely needing some fresh faces in and some players shown the door in January.” “No, a good bit off that. Knee jerk stuff imo. However we badly need a keeper as Richard's is nowhere near good enough and for now I'd rather go with Kuch, must sort the goalie situation by January” “He persists with this defence week on week. OK Graham is back but the others have not had a clean sheet for months (if at all). Sam CH in right away and bin Kerestes and Iovu. Strain and Ferry the other 2 in a 4. Has to be better than this and its almost the same defence we used at times last season and got clean sheets. We will score goals but we need to be shutting teams out.If Goodwin persists with underperforming defenders over and over when they cant stop leaking goals then I want him out. It's getting to me that he wont play a young Scottish Dundee United fan who has already been tested at this level and played very well.” “Goodwin signed Richards. If he isn't good enough why sign him? Iovu seems to be the other Goodwins scouted Baresi. If he is so good why have previous coaches let him move? Think the Goodwins need to go to Specsavers and also remember we play in Scotland.” “This is definitely a case of decent players but crap Manager. I have zero faith in him.” OH HAPPY FUCKING DAY.

Left back Longelo scored for Motherwell again today. He’d be a great addition.

Only lstened on the radio while driving but according to Willie we were excellent in the first half,and Dee were 'magnificent' 'on fire' in the second.He also said we came out in the second half far more passive than in the first,maybe that gave Dundee encouragement to have a go? Should have been 3 up at half time,but there was plenty time /energy for us to look for a third in the second to finish them off.Still,we seem to be playing with a bit more risk,scoring more,conceding too...a more enjoyable watch,and mostly winning on the way.Happier days

Have a great night I'm away "Into The Valley"

Ah wis thinkin, maybe if VAR and the ref canna mak a decision within 60 seconds, then it could be decided by haein the captain o' each team play 'rock, paper, scissors ... best oot o' three. Would at least be entertainin'. ..... But then Ah thought, this would in itself need tae be refereed ... an' nae doot there would be calls for VAR tae check that said captains were nae cheatin' ..... takin' 4 minutes tae confirm or overturn the rock, paper, scissors result

Will be a challenge to keep the lie at work going if we make the final!
