Aye, certainly. Not hugely enthusiastic but would walk from Fittie to the Bridge of Don to shag it.

Fuck knows how you get your coal but this is still how I get mine.

"Austerity" was a label, a lie sold to the people from corrupt governments. The "economic recession" was a related lie, a manufactured consequence from when the parcel being passed was getting too hot to hold. The people didn't suddenly down tools. Economic output didn't slow down or evaporate. The workers didn't do anything different. It was "the system" being "crashed" deliberately. They tested it on us in 2008. In Britain, it was Northern Rock who was the poor guinea pig that they sacrificed. That was just the taster for what followed. Loach wasn't commenting on "austerity". He was skilfully illustrating how the Conservative government have introduced a Kafkaesque welfare state system to kill its own citizens. This denigration of individual self respect is another tool of the state to enforce the divide and conquer strategy. That Loach punctuated this nightmare with credible and realistic examples of humanity - recognising the nature and the value of community with warmth, selflessness and love - was the genius of the work and the genius of the man. The welfare state is only one example. The wider agenda is everywhere around us.

Not a restaurant as such but Five Guys produce a REALLY TASTY BURGER. Just opened in Aberdeen. Will go again. But not too often. Pity it's free refills for coke and shit. That's just contributing to the obesity epidemic, people being too stupid and too dumbed-down and too greedy and too sad and too ill-disciplined not to contain themselves and refrain.

Depends what the pass mark is. If C is a pass and D is a fail, it's C minus for me so far. Getting to a final is nothing to celebrate. Who did we beat to get there? And what's the point of getting to the final if we're just going to get horsed? Not saying that we will but the act of beating shit to get the chance to "compete" v. Celtic is nothing achieved yet. Win the final and he gets an A minus this YTD but with the league finished for us early doors and nailed shut before the end of October, I can't see that he merits anything other than a bare pass mark just now. In fact, given the players he's got, he's not been motivating them consistently well nor has he been playing the right players in the right positions often enough.

This is a bit more to my taste than recent offerings but wouldn't go too far for it. Inverdee to Hazlehead via Northfield would be a worthy hike.

Just back from I, Daniel Blake. The best film I've seen for many many years. It wasn't about "austerity" though. And it's not "a sad reflection on today's society". On the contrary, it was a celebration of common humanity. Probably Ken Loach's best work and his is a genius body of work to choose between.

I think there is a difference between not bad - the right side of average, good, very good, excellent and outstanding/world class. Just like there is a difference between the various categories below the line; not bad but the wrong side of average, not good, poor, very poor and critical. Of course we all have our separate opinions, about managers and players and within that context, different individuals will have different expectations. But to compare him to the total dross that has managed AFC for the last 20 years is not a productive nor an intelligent yardstick. And to say that Aberdeen fans have unrealistic expectations is to fall into the trap set by Messrs Miller and Calderwood, one that our then Director of Football acknowledged and as good as apologised for. After two games this season, I said we could forget about the league. The fact it lasted until late October before the coffin lid went on (at Hamilton) and the nails started getting hammered in this weekend wasn't a bad effort. But whatever your expectations, losing and accepting defeat shouldn't be part of the plan.

It was obvious that McInnes was hoping for lightning to strike twice re Maddison. But whereas he came on at HT v. the Huns, 52 minutes was a weird time to make a double sub. Especially that nothing significant happened in the first 7 minutes of the second half. He's not a very good manager. I've never rated him higher than adequate and sometimes good. The damage was done in the first half. We weren't good enough to equalise despite some good effort.

I'm on Narcos season 1. Will have caught up with all 20 episodes within a couple of weeks. Very promising so far.

Thanks to your post and having now read a bit more about it, I want to see it. Not at the main cinemas just now and not on Netflix, where can I see it? Edit: found it! Belmont. Should've known to look there first. Will go in the next 48 hours.

I don't think there has been an overreaction. I think you guys are being hard on your fellow supporters. By all means, pick out specific posts and highlight where this board has been overreacting? Don't misinterpret the comments on here as being of the same inane shit we read on other AFC webchatspeaksites. We're all gutted that we came up short. Nobody's overreacting that I can see. Totally agree with the comments re McGinn. I can't trust a player who doesn't give full commitment all of the time. Talented for sure. But a fucking cheat. We pay his wages. He rarely earns them.

Why would you "bow to superiority"? Is it not normal to clarify the area of dispute first? Only a shrinking wet wank would give up so quick. They WERE a double act. They produced TOGETHER. It was telling that Scott walked out that day in May. But you preferred to defend Smith and blame the players, including one of our best servants. McLeish hated Smith. History after May 91 proved Smith was fucking shit. What redeeming qualities did he have to compel you to defend him so strongly?

You obviously weren't there at Ibrox. And who's crediting Jocky with all the good stuff and Smiffy with all the bad? It wasn't "gung ho" to pick the right team. He didn't, as we all expressed before kick off. So take your ignorant insults and stick them up yer arse. When Jocky walked out, we didn't have long to wait to see how bad Smiffy was on his own. They had a winning formula together but ego got in the way, as it always does.

I think we're in danger of confusing the bare necessities. The need to fuck and the need to eat are the most powerful drivers known to man. But they're not even of the same planet, not even the same ballpark. I like to fuck hungry and then eat food. Some prefer sex on a fully satiated belly. That not my preference. These arseholes who describe cars - or other inappropriate material - as "sexy" are peer craters.

Thank you. Some faggots on here durrant me all the time but never have the balls to front up. Ok already. You have a point. But I don't eat panties and honestly, the dressing is awesome!

Go to Muchacho on Rose street. If you've not been, you must. Dine in. In and out in 10 minutes and it's sublime. I went for the Chipotle 3 chilli strength sauce the first time but the 4 chilli Punch in the Face every time since. Still not unearthly hot but the food is to die for. Tuesdays 3 Tacos for the price of 2, which kinda forces you to go one chicken, one beef and one pork. The lime and leaf dressing is so fragrant and beautiful.

Some great cooking talent amongst yous. Great efforts guys. Big impressed.

If female, with a pulse and STD-free then a reluctant yes. Not that it's convincing in its femaleness. Would walk 1.75 yards to fuck it, max.

Correct. Incredible example of non-winner mentality.

I've nae idea. Got fired from NESA for incompetence. The boy 10 ? done a great job though. Makes sense. Still don't believe they've ever been to the moon though.

At least we can't fault effort. Good attitude and application. Good job McInnes. Just not good enough to score today.

Shinnie should have been given a pen.

Superb tackle by Hayes. How the fuck was that a foul?

Can this guy run? Could he do 100m in less than 16 seconds? Jeez.
