Skweeze Me Pleeze Me

Watched The Boat That Rocked last night. What a load of shite, nae even funny. Some good music though. I remember as a loon lying in my bed listening to radio Luxembourg but that was post Pirate Radio. Nae sure if Radio Caroline was still on the go then.

Steve Harley at Lemon Tree in March I think. Hope there's something afore then like.

Got a fair mix of stuff at Christmas which I've nae really had too much time to get through, but I'm finding The Temper Trap - Conditions, is quite interesting, while The Drums is possibly less so.

Think I had this one last year, and concur. Excellent read especially if you were going to games during his era. Turnbull is still held in highest regard by those who played for him. Another good one is My Father and Other Working Class Heroes by Gary Imlach. A biography of his father's career. I'm just finished On Fire With Fergie, which was a Christmas read which I quite enjoyed as being a wee bit different from all the biographies on the go. As the story progresses there is an underlying thread that even within Don's supporting ranks there are always differing perspectives.

Oh aye Zander has to take some responsibility for himself, nae question. As for talkin shite, well it's the internet.

Good early warning. Avoid Market Street

It's teen me aboot 3 weeks to pluck up the courage efter the last roastin for having the sheer affrontery of having an alternate view. I'm a puir wee soul. All I'm saying is that Lee Miller was a far better player than he latterly showed at Pittodrie. He was wasted in a role that did nothing for him or the team. I similary blame the manager of the day for wasting Zander Diamonds career. He should have been much better, and would have been under better guidance.

Wellington Road isn't anywhere near a bottle neck on a Saturday at the moment. I'd imagine that roads around the new stadium would be subject to some congestion before and after a match, but that is also the case at Pittodrie is it not?

Absolutely correct. But remind me again whose tactics were these? Another good player rendered mediocre.

Fair point, and one I never thought about. Getting back for a 2nd pick up would be tricky. Back to the drawing board.

I also agree with much of what MT said, however, and this is what I really feel about JC. He frustrated the hell out of me. I don't think he had the confidence in his own ability to take us to the next level. I always felt he managed to do just enough to make himself look respectable. Just enough to haul us away from danger. He probably had potential to be a good manager, but after 5 years he never really showed that he was going to get any better. He served his purpose. McGhee was a failure, lets move on and hope that Brown and Knox can use their vast experience to manipulate the Board and make this club great again.

The plan is for myself, sons and grandsons to get season tickets when the stadium is built at Loirston. I've never had one, and only one of my son's has. Mind you the main reason is because I can see the Loch fae my backie! I can understand why folk in Bridge of Don or Mastrick might want it built elsewhere or even just rebuild on the existing Pittodrie site, but it's clear from what the Board say that this isn't going to happen.

I have to agree with you here.

There was a time when Aberdeen Corporation Transport ran a steady stream of busses from the Castlegate to Pittodrie and back after the match. No pick ups just there and back, and always full. It was a well drilled operation and it worked well. No reason why this cannot be resurrected. It's up to AFC, Aberdeen City Council and bus companies to organise it. A bus lane is a bus lane, not a Scheduled First Bus lane, so of course they can use bus lanes.
