Close call

Ooooft,McGinn

An unusual line up. Could be making of some of these younger guys,who knows. Here goes

Aye,there's not a great selection of plots out there,and pricier than expected but Ive got my eye on a good looking elevated site.Your local architect build would be the ideal scenario.The pre fab thing was to avoid a point where the money runs out before you sell your old house which I'd need to do to finish it.Caravan living doesnt quite float the boat but might have to be an option. Been in touch with a local builder and going out to assess the site and options.see what he says and report back

FAO Architects on here,eg tomwiddows,mancdon? - Been looking for a new house for a while,but not having much joy.Started looking at a new build,but a few people have said they wouldnt go down that route from their experience,so began looking at these Scandi/German timber pre fab homes which seemingly can be erected in around 3 days.Like the look of them,but cant see much feedback on how they wear after eg 20 years,or if they hold their price as well as a traditional house. An example would be 'scandinavianhomes'(cant get onto their website for some reason).'Mirella' 3 bedroom would be the sort of idea being looked at.Any feedback/advice welcome Actually heres it.http://www.scandinavianhomes.com/house/kaisla/

Try this stream,buffering a bit though.Pretty poor fare though,off to the garden for an hour or so https://www.vipleague.lc/1-celtic-vs-aberdeen-live-streaming

Some random comments - Seen me taking around an hour to get from Portlethen to where I want to at Dyce pre Bypass,...but today,left Portlethen at 07.30,and was in Foveran at 08.05 Heading into town,managing to leave 15/20 mins later. Couple of minor things; The slip lanes are a bit weird/confusing if youre a newbie A bit more signage where to get on or off Still trying to work out what or where Cleanhill was pre Bypass Other than that,thumbs up.Almost embarassing how few cars are on it sometimes

Edit - Slim's got it

Re Lowe,last I heard it was along the lines of 'doubtful,but do all we can to have him available' Can see both scenarios tomorrow,they get an early goal and we cave in....or we shitfest a narrow win. I'll say a draw and we win the replay

Also thought I'd noticed a bit more of a scowl about McInnes the last few months. Whether he's unhappy personally or professionally I dont know,but,if I was him I would consider moving on at the end of the season.A big reason for not wanting him out before now,has been the lack of obvious candidates to replace him with,and am also still appreciative of where were at,coming from where we've been,without being over excited at the style of football on display.But I just think we're reaching a natural parting of the ways point But,if he does leave,even if the remainder of this season doesnt work out as planned,he'd still leave with a good enough reputation to command a reasonable job elsewhere.I would hope he's earned the right to leave without being hounded out.Staying another season,having a similar or worse campaign than this one could quickly damage his image and reputation IMO. No idea who could replace him,Steve Clarke is now a long shot,but thats the chance we'd take

Washed down with Cremola foam

Good stream. Watched bits in between chores this afternoon. Looked a pretty tidy performance. Wasn't looking forward to this one.,but some away record were building up. Fingers crossed for results the morn. COYR

My tuppence worth, I think a player like Wright needs to be playing in a side playing quicker tempo fitba and sees a lot of the ball,eg where he doesnt get time to doubt. His head seems to go down too quickly when things dinna come off,so possibly also an attitude or self discipline problem,...which could be man managed.McInnes provides a great work environment but not so strong in the man management side IMO

If you mean the bitty at Dyce then Yasss.Took me 3 attempts to get onto the right road for Ellon the other day

Cant comment on alcoholism myslef,but I wouldnt overdwell on the fact youve started drinking again,and maybe have a look at where you were at before you started drinking. Its easier in middle age to take your eye off the ball healthwise and allow yourself to drift into a fa gives a shit attitude.Maybe youve become stuck in an overfamiliar dull lifestyle? Unfit sedantry living? Something like that,drifted in to drinking.? Dont underestimate what were still capable of at that age.A better focus might help Hopefully nae too patronising,and good luck getting to the bottom of it.Hillwalkings half the answer obviously

Nae quite restaurants per se,but a couple of good eateries.Have only been in the Sitting room,Portlethen for coffees/breakfasts,but we went in after the fitba for a sit down meal. Good food,clean environment,friendly,chatty atmosphere,and able to have a beer/wine at the table.One of the best/biggest bits of fish Ive had Have driven past Lil C's near Oyne many times without knowing it was there.There today after a walk up Dunnydeer hill(the one with the stone archway on the summit.fine wee viewpoint, - one for sunset).Again,not haute cuisine,but good food,good atmosphere,clean and modern

Disagree about Willie Miller,..and not just because of who he is,but he's one of the more intelligent pundits.Agree with Ferguson,seems to genuinely love the game,with no obvious bias. As far as the wifies go,one of them, Eilidh Barbour?? has an annoying high pitch compared to the others.Another one,Heather Dewar is a bit insincere IMO.Tries to make Montrose v Albion game sound as important as Barca/Real. Not a huge fan personally,but if i had a choice between that and Alan Preston,John Barnes etc,ra burds awrawye

What about it?

In or Oot - In Furryboots - Mainer Pre - Working Post - Driving Prediction - Reluctantly coming to the conclusion that May and Stewart cant play in the same set up.I'd bench Logan and try Hoban at R/B as a wee wake up call.Surprised,and delighted at Sams purple patch,can see it continuing this Sat. Dons to win 4 - 1 Sam,Stewart...2 fae May off the bench to unsettle KFP Crowd 13,284

Nah,Hearts or Celtic at home,plucky defeat to Killie in the final

One of the bigots at home next.Get it out the way

Didnt see that scoreline coming,certainly at the end of the first half. Wish we'd start off on the front foot. Tricky game out the way though,good chance of a tasty tie next round.Hopefully we're finding our best line up,along with Devlin and MacKenna joining up again

Look back about 40 years during the Bonthrone years and we were playing in front of sub 10k home league games.The Scottish Cup comes round,and we played Motherwell(one of my earliest SC memories) in '75 in front of 25'000. Weird how its changed

Its not great,but not any worse than SC crowds of the last 20 or so years.Sure there was a game v Hibs in Calderwoods time with only 8000.League crowds have remained steady,but SC ones have nose dived for some reason
