No one watch films anymore Ten months and no posts Watched "I Swear" last night. A true story of tourettes sufferer John Davidson from Galashiels. Starting with him going to secondary school and the start of his tics, through to him receiving his MBE for his work in raising awareness of tourettes. A wonderful story where you will laugh and cry in equal measures (sometimes at the same time) and with a smattering of pretty decent music. Last word on the film, everyone needs a Dottie in their life

My very favourite player of all time. When he played the masters last year I genuinely welled up a bit seeing him score for the dons one last time.

We are led by the least among us who was it used to say that about people in power - anywhere

My reply take two. For me, this Stadium is supposedly going to bring a prospective economic gold rush to the City. If it is that great a thing for the City, then why don't the great and the good come together and pay for it. I'm totally aware it won't make money, hence my concern about the Council paying for it. I get that a City or a Town needs good infrastructure to attract and retain businesses, but for me anyway, Aberdeen Football Club Ltd, need this stadium much, much more than our City does. A Hospital, a School and Roads are all good examples of where public money should be spent to bring growth to an area, but not quite sure a fitba stadium fits into to this. We have had Woody stumping up a large amount for a hospital car park. We had the Donalds put £15 million into AFC to wipe out our debt, that was nothing to do with them. I am quite sure that between all the real monied folk in this City, we can surely come up with a way of financing this Stadium, which would remain an Asset for the club for the next 100 years or so. Even get the fans involved in some way. I am sure a few would like to be part of something like this. We were told 15 years ago, by the very same great and the good of this City, that Union Terrace Gardens would have to be concreted over, to keep the City economically viable, or some other mealy mouthed pish. It didn't happen and what the Council did with it has just won an architectural award for it. It is a jewel in our City Centre and I hope that this new foodie place, where the New Market was, brings a much needed boost to Union Street, along with the other improvements being done. I want to see our City succeed, I want to see more positive changes like Union Terrace Gardens as opposed to the not so good Marischal Square, that was an opportunity lost for the City. Could have made a lovely Civic Square type of area with the old Town House complementing Marischal College. I would have knocked down the St Nicholas Centre too if given a chance. I'm certainly not averse to change. When they wheel out people like Martin Gilbert, just like they did with the UTG debacle from years back, it just stinks of the rich folk looking their noses down at the poor relations. I not the most articulated in getting my point of view across, but the whole thing just stinks and our local press seem to be agenda driven, just like they were with both UTG and Marischal Square and of course Trumps golf course in Balmedie. That was a new low amongst the many lows our esteemed Dundonian press.

His big fantasy is/was for rugby matches , relatively little fan interest ? , & surely they wouldn't be playing internationals here anyway , not to mention the proportions of the stadium would doubtless induce bad seating position behind goals. funny he has the brass to mention kicking the can down the road , as that's what him & his phony predecessor have been doing for the last few decades, after Milne's very first gamble of some other mug paying for it backfired

Born on this day 55 years ago, Eoin Jess. Happy Birthday loon. One of the very, very best in my opinion and was a privilege to watch him break through.

Nah, he was just trying a bit too hard in that deeper role, getting a bit excited. If he puts in that work rate and desire for the rest of the season he'll come good. I think we could be about to see another of his purple patches in the next couple of months.

Ross County WTF Where did it all go wrong Given my father was from just outside Dingwall, I have always had a bit of a soft spot for them. To add further interest to it, I have a lot of time for Tony Doc

Agreed on both points

Also, I must add that I think that Maxine Peake is a fine actress, but she can't do a Scottish accent to save her life.

Marshall with another for Arbroath. Eight in eighteen. Some going.

Ooft County in a bit of trouble,foot of the table and thumped 6 - 0 by Raith

Found it odd past couple months that Armstrong was often the only midfielder that played the whole game. There were several games in a row where he played the full 90+. Club see the data so he must be fitter than most. TBH wouldn’t say he was struggling more than anyone else. Think most of them are, not only the players that are playing twice a week but those only coming in now and again finding it difficult to get up to speed. Clarkson looks to be struggling with a lack of game time. Nisbet is another player who seems to need to be at the peak of his fitness to get best from him. Coming in and out isn’t easy. If Armstrong does play hopefully not in deeper role where he has to cover so much space in our set up, much prefer him further forward. He’s almost always constructive, looking to get the ball nearer the goal rather than to the side…

I think most likely your phone, I can't see any kind of setting for that under the bonnet anyway.

A real fan would still have that poster on his wall. Please say it is so.

Martin Gilbert getting involved in the stadium debate now. Not that this was pre planned or anything. As I keep spouting, why are these very, very rich individuals not providing private funding themselves and help build a long term asset for the club? I mean, if the stadium is such a money spinning asset for the City, then surely these individuals would want a piece of the pie and would want to control it. I'm sure a man of Martin Gilberts background, could have put something together to facilitate this, without the need for public cash.

Sure! Ambrose hat trick on Sunday and I’ll by your flight and game ticket too!

Come on tae fuck .... it's nae difficult ... jist get it done

It's been a gey bad campaign, but just imagine if we had beaten FCSB and played in the Europa League? It doesn't bear thinking about, really. So I don't know why I mentioned it.

Oh I was being sarcastic. I'll wait and see what comes of this before getting excited about anything.

PTSD moment that.
