All Activity

A bit late to the party but I read Tresspasses recently as saw author st Edinburgh Book Festival a couple of years ago and noticed that it was coming as a series. Wasn't overly enthusiastic about the book but will probs watch on tv at some point - didnt really get the connection between them from the pages.

She was 'replaced' as the captain for Hull on University Challenge 40mins later. Hull got their asses handed to them so no idea if the sub made a difference

Cameroon beat Gabon 1-0 in final game of the day. Entertaining game and meant avoided most of the Christmas tv. No games until Boxing Day now.

Dick Gaughan - What you can do with youve got

That’s how pain-free my Christmas Eve has been

Celebrity Mastermind...Lucy Beaumont (comedian) was asked, "During a visit to Berlin in 1963 which world leader made a famous speech which included the words, "Ich bin ein Berliner" and her answer, "Was it Hitler"?...as you youngsters would type ROFLMOA.

Ray Lamontagne- You are the best thing

Rose Street is too posh for the jambos

Crispin St. Peter...You were on my Mind

Steely Dan- Time out of Mind

Senegal win 3rd game 1-0 in torrential rain. Senegal on top for most of game and should have won by more.

Not many of the Hunbo’s drink up on Rose Street. They all drink towards Haymarket and Dalry Road so should be fine.

I dont know if it's deliberate, but the one in Edinburgh is on the same evening Hearts are playing, and the time of 6-8pm would be just as all the fans are drinking/making their way to Tynecastle past a pub full of Aberdeen fans getting their photo taken with the Scottish Cup. Fierce Bar isn't too far from Gorgie either. Either terrific raigebait, or someone didn't check the fixture list before booking.

Why pay rent, business rates, Utliities, insurance, staff and delivery costs for a commerical unit which in these days of online retail will fairly likely make an operating loss?

Finished 3-0 to Algeria.

Seeing us win the Scottish Cup was a bucket list item for me. As is going to a world cup to see Scotland play. Waited 35 years for a Scottish cup and 27 for a World Cup and now they have both come along within 6 months of each other. 2025 has had some crazy ups and downs football wise

I think lazetic will be much more effective with legit wingers. Play him ahead of a proper attacking mid, which I do think Armstrong is, and two wingers, belalovic and a signing. Kjarten and aouchiche behind Armstrong is worth trying.

Rush - Time stands still

MGMT - Time To Pretend

Algeria 1-0 up at half time and Sudan reduced to 10 men. With some of tackles they have been putting in I will be surprised if they reach 90 with 10.

Honestly think Bilalovic would be handier up front that any of our current ‘strikers’.

Even better than that, it was 35 years

If the last 18 months, which included an enthralling unbeaten run at the start of last season and a first scottish cup win since 19-fucking-90 just seven months ago is “painful”, then what word are we using for the 24-odd years that came before?! It’s been a weird 18 months, at times a frustrating 18 months, but attendances are up, the connection between the club and fans feels stronger than ever and - I repeat - we’ve won the Scottish Cup for the first time in 25 years. I’m certainly not feeling any pain.

Wild finish to game though with Equatorial Guinea taking lead with 5 minutes left but Burkina Faso manged ro win game by scoring twice in injury time.

Watched the highlights again after seeing this chain pop up again. Then watched the Scotland Denmark highlights. Two games that still bring me close to tears! These types of games aren’t normal, when was the last time we had those types with such pressure and importance? I don’t include the euro tournament games as we’d already qualified and we weren’t under that pressure/expectation. we were such underdogs against Celtic, and hadn’t qualified for a World Cup in 27 years. The cup finals of 2014 and 1995 we were favorites, even the 90 final I think we were favorites.
