    Not really a celebrity but another musician passed away. Dale Griffin the drummer with the group Mott the Hoople featuring the wonderful voice of Iain Hunter passed away at the weekend. Somewhat ironically their bes known hit was "All The Young Dudes" written by none other than David Bowie. So what better way to remember both of them than having a listen to this.

    The world of music is having a bad time right now. Glenn Frey guitarist with The Eagles passed away aged 67.
  3. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ebooks-The-Man-Who-Watched-Women-ebook/dp/B00TQDWIHK/ref=pd_cp_351_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=02WJ5RN0JRSV41QVG5KN Read the above book between Xmas and New Year. From the creators of The Bridge (TV series). Maybe a bit drawn out and could potentially have been trimmed by a 100 pages or so, but a pretty decent read. Not the most difficult plot to figure out, but strong characters (no all particularly likeable ) make this a decent read. Believe this is the second book in a planned trilogy. Haven't read the first instalment and although I will probably do do, this book is perfectly capable of being read as a standalone. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Natchez-Burning-Penn-Cage-Book/dp/0007317964/ref=sr_1_cc_5?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1453046725&sr=1-5-catcorr&keywords=greg+iles+penn+cage+series+in+order Greg Iles is an author I have read a lot of over the years and have never really been disappointed with any of his book. Natchez Burning is set in America's deepest south and uncovers events from the early 60's which are uncovered forty years on and focuses on the actions of those responsible trying their worst to keep them hidden in a dark and troubled racist past. Again this is part of a trilogy (this is the first part), the second part "The Bone Tree" is already published. This book is a big read and runs to over 850 pages as does the follow up. Would give Natchez Burning 4.5/5 and looking forward to getting into the second book, just hope given the fact it is another 850 page book that it isn't repetitive and going back over a lot of what happened in the first one.
  4. Wtf is Logandoing up there again ? Delighted he was mind
  5. Fucking hell that was some first half. Would gladly take aboring as fuck second half with no further goals and three points for us, but sense there are a few more goals in this game yet.
  6. Arab's cheeks parted and well and truly ripped a new one
  7. We need a niggly bastard in midfield
  8. Glad you enjoyed it Manc I reckon it was my favourite read of 2015. Loved the style of writing as you really had to pay 100% attention to it as it jumped back and fore in time. Sure it would make a great film Think it is the only Joel Dicker book to date translated into English. My pigeon French just isn't good enough to read a novel in French Got a couple of other recommendations coming up, but no time just now to disclose.
  9. If that's what it takes Tom, bring it on.
  10. It kind of feels a little like wanting your mother in law to drive your new jaguar over a cliff but..... c'mon the Arabs

  15. ABERDEEN have snapped up Adam Collin as replacement for Danny Ward. As SunSport revealed yesterday, Dons boss Derek McInnes moved for the Rotherham goalkeeper after missing out on a swoop for Rangers’ stopper Cammy Bell. Collin, 31, became a hero at the Cobblers after his two penalty shootout saves in the 2014 League One play-off final saw them promoted to the Championship. He was signed by Steve Evans back in 2013 and played over 70 games for them. But the 6ft 5ins Cumbrian dropped out of the picture under Neil Redfearn this term and has only featured twice for them. He will move to Pittodrie on a loan deal until the end of the season and could even be pitched in for the Dons’ clash against Ross County on Sunday. Collin came through the ranks at Newcastle United and was a substitute for the first team but never got onto the pitch. After spells playing at Doncaster and Workington, Collin had four years at Carlisle which included a spell of 146 games in a row. McInnes has been on the hunt for a new goalkeeper after Liverpool’s decision to recall standout Ward left Scott Brown as the only senior goalie on the books.
  16. If we want Rogers back and IF the above is true (not questioning you Reidzer) then fair play to Houston for sporting integrity in this matter. Disappointed with Liverpool's stance in this, whilst it would appear perfectly within their rights, disappointing nonetheless. One thing is for sure, they're getting a more experienced young goalkeeper back then they gave us at the outset. Have absolutely no love of 'Pool, but good luck to young Danny Ward and thanks for the six months with us
