Superstar Tradesman

Wish I'd kept a list of those knocking Miller for not earning his wage. The new youth set up was always going to take a few years before we saw any rewards from it. The two lads who started in the first team looked promising and the noises around this lad are too. Seems like years now that Considine and Bebo first broke into the team with Zander now being classed (on paper) as being experienced.

Afroman - Because I Got High

Panic!!!

Exactly. He's just bitter because he knows his days are numbered.

That's two different points glued together to make one invalid point. For instance I could say "there's no country in the world that caber tossing is a bigger sport than in Scotland". Which is true. But that doesn't make it any less of a minority sport. It all depends on what you mean by 'minority'. F1 draws millions of viewers but there's only around a handful of drivers taking part in the whole sport. Tennis or golf only has say a few thousand professional players world wide but there's not a sport shop in the world that doesn't sell the equipment to play those sports which makes it accessable to millions. So is a minority sport defined by the number of spectators or those taking part? For me, when I hear the term 'minority sport' I'm sure it's more to do with money or class system rather than anything else. Rugby fans get a reputation for being prawn sandwich eaters, most of those fans who watch it don't play the game. Does that make it a minority sport? No, of course it doesn't. Polo on the otherhand..... minority sport because it's only accessable by the upper class?

I'm sick to death of folk getting upset by what the newspapers have to say about us.

Only if you don't bin your drugs.

My mate Che said it was smokin but I'm havana hard time listening to it.

Can't be arsed tracking back so apologies if it's already been confirmed above: http://www.scotprem.com/content/default.asp?page=s2&newsid=7905&back=home

No. I think he means women are a minority.

I read it and enjoyed it but probably just because I knew it would piss off the Church. Read the rest of his books after and they were terrible. On a slight tangent; I spotted 3 people on the train this morning on the way to work that were reading. Each book had "The number 1 international best seller" written on the front cover and it got me thinking. Are there any books that don't claim to be this?

She available this weekend Al?

Watched my first F1 race in possibly about 10 years yesterday (although I was flicking back and forth between channels). Can't really say it was a race as such, what with the world number 1 being lapped about halfway through the race and the winner being 18 seconds ahead of 2nd place after the first dozen laps. From my very limited knowledge it looks like the cars are very different to last time I paid any interest. There seems to be a lot more rules about what they can and can't do. Guessing that's got some bearing on it.

Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

I think objectives and expectations are a little premature if we don't know how much the new man has to play with in the transfer market. New managers usually rejuvenate things at their new clubs but other than the style of play, I don't see us doing that much more than we did last season. Whomever comes in will still be faced with the same financial restraints. Possibly even moreso with the current crisis with the banks. If the new man gets to bring in a few of his own players then I'd expect an improvement on last season. If not then I'm inclinded to think I'd accept a place in Europe and 2 quarter final cup runs just like last season as it's not his squad and we haven't taken a step back. Some might see that as lacking ambition but I just think that's being realistic.

Kasabian's new album. I likes it.

Sorry, I thought we were just making words up from now on:

Picked up my first book in 6 months - The Alchemist's Secret. Very Dan Brown, in fact so much like 'The Da Vinci Code' that I'm beginning to wonder how he's not been done for plagerism. On a side note I watched 'Angels & Demons' at the weekend. Load of shite. Enjoyed TDVC but remember when I read A&D that I thought it wouldn't make such a good movie. Think they've changed the ending a bit though, which they had to do, but I'll have to go back and re-read it as I can't really remember what's different from the novel.

Never thought to ask. Morning or lunch time these things are usually done.

.....going to be revealed at a press conference tomorrow. Or so I've been told by a member of the press who has been contacted by the club. Believe it or not, that's just what I've been told. Guess we find out mañana if it's gospel. If so, all the best Mark McGhee, welcome back on board.

It'll get called the Geez-Yer-Money-Sit-Doon-Shut-Up-And-Ye'll-Take-It-And-Ye'll-Like-It Stadium. No colours will be allowed inside the ground unless you're 8 years old or younger. Abuse, racism, swearing and noise of any sort is strictly prohibited unless it's aimed directly towards our own players or staff. A moat will be built around the main entrance big enough to thwart any 12 man protests and a unirail link will jettison fans between the city and stadium on a train called the Flying Pig.

Anyone else bored of this?

I thought people would have read the first post in the thread properly.

I can exclusively reveal that I won't be the next Aberdeen manager after getting the knockback through the mail this morning.

Well I could pick holes all day but I'm off to the pub in 5. Let's just pick this one for the sake of it: So wearing a football top to go watch the football instantly makes you an 8 year old? Hmmmm.
