All Activity

Have had friends do that, meant to be great. Me and the wife want to do quite a few tracks but gonna have to wait for the boys to be a bit bigger. the track we did is fairly typical of NZ bush, always reminds me of what Jurassic park would be like, minus the fact that NZ didn’t exist at that time period. But yeah, even under canopy the water gets through and can be quite soggy. Although they do generally maintain their tracks pretty well.

"Aberdeen and Kusini Yengi are expected to mutually part ways in January, Vicente Besuijen could follow and fellow forward Peter Ambrose could go on loan, while midfielders Sivert Heltne Nilsen and Leighton Clarkson, plus on-loan centre-half Alfie Dorrington, face uncertain futures." From the BBC. Bit late for Ambrose to go on loan, should have happened a year ago. I'd add Palaversa to the list, with Molloy to follow in the summer or now if we get a left sided defender/fullback in. Give Milanovic until summer if we don't get a winger in (although I think with a good preseason he could still make it)

Lulu - To Sir, With Love

I see there’s a piece in the P&J about potential January exits, but behind a paywall. Does it stack up?

Baccarat- Yes Sir, I can boogie

Nice. Looks quite jungly,and soggy underfoot going by someones feet.Got my eye on the Heaphy track next time Im visiting Sister.....whenever that is

A walk up Rangituhi (Colonial knob)with the family a few sundays ago. We’d had a week of rain and thought we’d timed it well with avoiding the first bit of pause in a while. Turns out not. Still, great hilly walk. Not on your levels of walking though EG Next photos are a week later in our local harbour (Porirua). Sun had been shining but a whole bunch of cloud came over. Since then the weather has been pretty good (minus wind) and love having all this on our doorstep.

Pretty impossible to avoid when you’ve got young kids. Think as soon as it turned 1 November, it’s all I’ve heard in the shops here.

Good to have you back. At least you had an excuse, jute forgot his log in details and he’s a mod just sad he’s not come back as The Jute.

Pretty much covers my thoughts on it. Although I hope he doesn’t end up at Auckland as he’d tear it up in the a league. Now if he came to Welly then all would be forgiven

For me anyway, a stadium outside Aberdeen means, we're not Aberdeen anymore. If the economic benefits of a new stadium are so good and obvious, then why don't the great and the good of the City, many of whom have made a fortune from the oil and gas industry, not step up and chip in a few quid to build it. Be much more of a legacy than a car park at the hospital. Cormack is a shark and we have a few more than him involved at the club with very deep pockets (and short arms). I do agree that our Council is poor, has been for years, but not a unique problem to Aberdeen. Look at the limited gene pools in Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Not a ringing endorsement of UK politics and it gets even worse at local government level. The last thing we need as a city, is for the stadium debate to become politicised. I trust Cormack about as much as I trust the council.

I’ve said this before, miovski could not have had it more perfect with us. He was our 9 who would pretty much play as he wanted, got all the penalties, scored early on his dons career, scored a game winner at hampden, and got cult/hero status very quickly. He was loved/adored. We have that type of club, some players truly love it here and you see the connection he had with the fans. Fast forward to now, whether the injury he had is a factor I don’t know, but he’s not a sure or regular starter, very limited playing time, not on penalties, team won’t gel around him, fans/culture is awful/toxic, not winning regularly or doing well, it’s the perfect storm. I also think miovski has a sensitive side and that’s just not the place for him. Perhaps his time with us is similar to cosgrove, it just all clicked for him and he got his big move, then kind of disappears.

Only found out recently this gaff still existed. Been trying to recover my old account to no avail. Must be set up with an old email. Anyway, back in the gang. Hope you’re all doing fine. Anyone invited Kelt back so we can really get the party going

Prime cut Topi please. 3-0

This has been rumbling on for nearly (maybe more than?) 30 years now. It needs adults to sit around a table together; so far no party have proven themselves capable of that. I expect it from councillors with their political posturing but as ever I’m embarrassed by Cormack’s communication. I find it hard to believe the PR expert on our board had any say on that statement. I’m affronted by it. Unbelievably I think he is even less likely to bring this project to fruition than Milne. edit:and by party I don’t mean political

From a FOI request a few years ago. Here was Aberdeenshire Council's proposed sites for the new stadium. Interestingly, there was one next to Kingsford, which made their opposition to Kingsford all the more puzzling.

I've never been comfortable with Aberdeen going into any sort of partnership with the council, and I say that no matter what party is in power. Aberdeen doesn't have a grown up council, either in power or in opposition. It has a collection of idiots who are doing more harm than good to the city. Dave Cormack is gaining nothing from engaging with them. He's being sold an unrealistic dream by the opposition and hitting a brick wall with those in power. It's a shite state of affairs, but honestly, I'd go talk to Aberdeenshire council (who I also don't trust truth be told, but they have in the past suggested various sites for the stadium). Go build it at Portlethen within walking distance of the train station. Next time we win the cup, hold the fucking parade in Inverurie.

I don't live in Aberdeen so it's harder for me to judge how well this will go down. From the outside looking in though can I ask, do the club not have a point? Would the city not benefit hugely from this project as well as the bonus of keeping AFC within the city? I mean, if you think of all the money the club has brought into the Aberdeen economy over the years and bear in mind the club has never been outwith the top flight since reaching it. That's a lot of away fans spending a lot of money in bars, hotels, restaurants, taxis etc since 1903.

Dinna go there min. I thought Dave was off the alcohol now. Sounds like he's been on a bender and then sat down and wrote that shyte. Just what the City needs right now, more division.
