  1. Just back - Very impressive from us at times today,wasnt overly optimistic beforehand.Good attitude and energy,with some clever play around the box,esp first half.Great first goal....loved Logans extended celebrations ,should have had a few more Was surprised at how limp Hearts were. Top Dons for me were MacLean,Shinnie and Hayes.O'Connor and McGinn did well too. There were complaints about us playing with the handbrake on last season,but I think thats an area McInnes has noticed and improved this year energywise.Suits us too. Final shout out too for the hawk at the South Stand.Well played Crowd 12,173
  2. Picked up some bottles of Seven Giraffes on the way home.Doesnt taste great,but its buckled the head up nicely.Work the morn,need to ease off a bit
  3. Aye min,but we were coming off the train before the home games(from up north late seventies,early eighties) Mid to late eighties, the Belmont at Saturday lunchtime til tea time.Quick snooze,wake up feeling like shite,then back to the Belmont,Hayloft/Clarkies,Buzz Beez,then later,Ritzy or Gabriels All long gone
  4. ELO - Dont get me down
  5. Heres a few that we frequented but no longer exist. Coming off the train for the fitba,our first port of call was either Aitchies,over the road on Guild St,or the Scotch corner nearby.We were underage at the time,and looked it,but they were never too busy,and were happy with the custom.Another was the Clansman,up the Adelhpi.Think it was only the once.We had "lunch" there and the best they could do was a minging mince pie,chips and beans.Didna go back in a hurry The Drift Inn was also a very regular haunt.Normally a bit of a dive,but on a Saturday afternoon it was often stowed out when they held the blues jams,as did Oh Henrys,c/w with Jerry Jablonski ably and beautifully supported by Kim the dancer who came on during the breaks .My mate was the drummer at The Drift Inn and (being an ex drummer myself) often got invited up for a thrash. The Venue - A bit of a dive in reality,but saw some great bands there in the 80s,same as Dobbies Ale House.Some cracking bands and drunken nights in both places Heaps more coming to mind but that will do for now
  6. It winna start the engine unless its programmed(a scam IMO),but youre right,it doesnt need to include remote locking
  7. Ooocha another game I forgot was early ko.cheers manc. In Furryboots SS X Pre/post Driving Prediction not over optimistic 1 _ 1 Crowd 11657
  8. For anyone interested,Lumsdens have quoted £41 for a programmed key. Failing that,I might buy a Micra instead..
  9. Nairns always been a bit inbred,and you can stick Forres up the Highlands arse too.....sideways Alves is as far as Doricland goes Nae argument about Inverurie.Should have been handed back to Arthur Simmers long ago New republic of Nomansland in the offing
  10. Nearly there boys,...its The peoples republic of Grampian,within the cheerful harmony of the rest of the UK. .
  11. 'Preciate it .....but I should have said spare keys..
  12. I have 2 vehicles both of which need spare keys with remote locking.Phoned up a local Renault garage,and was quoted £130 for a new one( ),.....and if that wasnt bad enough,another £108 to get it programmed,..aye plus VAT. So, to avoid paying the guts of £500 for 2 keys,has anyone on here found ways round paying these figures for replacement keys.Sourced a guy in Nottingham who can supply a key for £60,but it still needs programmed. Any help much appreciated
  13. Dr Feelgood - Down at the doctors
  14. Cant say Ive noticed what Rooney brings for Stockley.Would someone like McGinn,maybe Storey not be a better foil for Stockley?
  15. In or Oot - Not sure yet,may be up North Furryboots - SS X if in Pre/Post - Driving Prediction - Cant see a repeat thrashing, 3 - 1 Dons Stockley,McGinn,MacLean See the Merkland is almost sold out,Community trust thing going on.Good to see,looked a bit sparse last w/e
  16. Ach,I'll be sorry to see him go.When he was on the pitch I liked the thought that something great could happen,even though you knew it only happened occasionally.Still think theres a player in there,dont think he's lazy,just appears we're not the right fit for him. All the best to him
  17. Was never a fan of Johnny Cash until his later years when he did that stripped down stuff as above.Hairs on the back of the neck time. Cerys Matthews,am not sure what it is about her,her accent,or the exaggeration of it,or being slightly up her own backside? Canna listen to her.Mark Riley is someone I would want to listen to,if it wasnt for his taste in music its a job finding decent new music,to avoid going back to the old catalogue...again
  18. Cheers, have a 50% Simmie surge
  19. What would those those figures mean (if anything) as far as the planning going ahead?
  20. Forgot how many chances we created http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39175372
  21. Ah,just read the wee BBC footnote.Youd think theyd leave the time as TBC if theyre aware of possible changes
  22. Aye Stockley is worth a wee run in the side.Brought others into the game well,and won lots in the air.He'd be handier against the likes of County where there was no space to pass into,as long as punting it up to him is because its the best option,and not the standard. A pairing of him and McGinn or Storey working round about him could be fruitful
  23. Dons - Hibs Semi final on Sat 22 April at 15.00pm http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-cup/fixtures
  24. Your presence was a good tactic. 11'333 Well played
  25. Woohoo. Cant complain about that draw, Just back - Wasnt pretty but we deserved to win.Some decent interplay at times,which I wish they'd work more on,...and other spells of forgettable football,but a tough tie out the way that keeps the season ticking along. Am reluctant to drop Rooney in the assumption he'll get back on track,but, thought Stockley was much more useful today.Won more in the air,and some clever lay offs.Did well with the scraps he got. Shinnie and Pawlett had good games,but top Don for me was Considine.Always seemed to be in the right place at the right time,good aggresion.Looked like he'd been in there all season
