All Activity

Best of luck with being in the home end. Done it a few times as an away fan, and I hate it. But at least it’ll be almost a home from home for you. Fingers crossed we’re in the hat for the next round !

I might watch it this evening, and the early hours of tomorrow.

Safe travels for those coming down to Fife today. A wee bit local advice for those driving down. Free parking is available at Leys Park near the police station. This is a short walk from the town centre and EEP, however it’s the other end of the ground from the away stand and will be gridlocked for a while after the game. On street parking may be available in the Garvock Hill area near the stadium but I would imagine it will get very busy and don’t park on the pavement! If you fancy a walk, Asda and the Halbeath Retail Park just off the M90 have a large parking area though it’s about a 30 minute walk to the ground. The walk can be interrupted by a visit to The Elizabethan on the way(if you can get in). I will quietly be cheering on from the Main Stand today and hope that my sons are looking forward to next week against Raith instead of a Cup Semi Final at full time. COYR

Read two Autobiographies this week Kevin Rowland, of Dexys Midnight Runners fame and Peter 'Budgie' Clarke of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Both good reads, both very dark in places, both fucked up guys, who managed to turn things around for the better. I also read two Alan Bennett novellas, which were both excellent. One of the books, used the Queen as a reading champion and the other about a care home through Covid. I've seen his stuff on TV and film, over the years, but hadn't read anything of his.

The film of this is the best adaptation of a book I have seen. Albert Finney nails the part of Arthur Seaton.

Slept through the first two, at the now shut Lighthouse Cinema, Aberdeen. Wife loves them, but very much a marmite thing, due to it being fantasy.

Ah good old Roger. His comedic songs on That's Life were essential Sunday night viewing.

Shame, really fancied United at Hampden. Lot of United fans desperate for Goodwin to go. His cup record is shocking, and being as bad as us in the league should be a sackable offence in itself.

I canna do the fantasy fairies and witches literature or film. Star Wars is a total mystery to be and I have no desire to have it otherwise. Give me a paperback tale concerning a twenty-something Nottingham bicycle factory worker with grease under his fingernails, a rebellious attitude to authority, and who lives for a weekend of beer and fornication. Sillitoe’s the boy.

The far right are big into Tolkien.

I read them as a kid. If you do ever get round to it, flick by all the Tom Bombadil shite

Also. Pile of shite. I've also never read Tolkien, which is why I didn't feel obliged to watch the films. I might read them at some point, but probably not.

I watched the first one that was enough. The others have been on while various family members were watching and I was in theory supposed to be watching too but I wasn't. Just not my thing. Ditto the Harry Potter series.

Don't get me wrong I've chased them down King Street before. Their long faux leather trench coats flapping in the breeze. These days I just can't muster any hatred for them. They're too similar to us. I'm more of an east vs west man. Even at my age a west coast accent is like the sound of a fork being scraped across a plate to me. Just make it stop.

I knew this would happen. Forget it. He's a Dick Campbell type. It's all about levels and he's found his level. He'd be overwhelmed by a job at a club the size of Aberdeen.

I hate every cunt that isn’t us (in varying degrees). I am proud to be an equal opportunities supporter.

I’ve met somebody who had never seen any of the LOTR films. WTF!!!!!?

I don't mind them that much. I see a great many likenesses between Aberdeen and Dundee. I reserve my hatred and pity for Glasgow.

I posted about this earlier in this thread (I think). From speaking to a Falkirk fan I don’t think McGlynn will be managing for much longer. Outstanding job he is doing though.

Top Reds have an innate hatred for those coat tail-hanging whores’ bastards. They love all that “New Firm” pish, piggybacking on to our success. Let the trophy count show: Ferguson 10, Greeting Jim 3. Quod erat demonstrandum.

While we wait for a clip from tonight's game this one will do. Some mothers do 'ave 'em.

Aye. Admittedly getting the winner of St Mirren v Patrick Thistle in the semis would be the golden ticket. A by into the final basically. Lovely.

No. You're letting your hatred for the Terrors cloud your judgement. That match was even.

Fuck that, we're getting Lee Miller back on the balls and getting Partick in the semi.

Really good performance from Falkirk. Absolutely destroyed utd for 44 minutes. Utd had a decent spell for 15-20 minutes maybe, but Falkirk just stepped it up and ended the game in full control again.
