Another magnificent away support

Aye,1 - 0 'Well,canna mind if it was WP scored.A good 'Well team at that time though Aye, fair point about the euro place -
Missed the last couple of games,be good to see a decent turn out for the boys recent efforts Think weve got good cover for the missing players,and look forward to seeing Christie for the first time.We seem to be getting by while Adam struggles,and would persist with him and hope he eventually clicks,(until playing him does him more harm than good) In or Oot - In Think were in good form, 3- 1 Dons (Rooney 3 )

Try the modify option(ie Edit) on the rhs ^^^^^ Not the worst draw.Pity there werent a few more big guns head to head,but a fair chance of a semi day out

Elgindon replied to A llad insane's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
St's are part of the problem,but theres more to it than that.My first memory of a SC game was during Bonthrones era.We were getting crowds around 10,000 in '74/75 for home games prior to the SC game v Motherwell,but got 24,000 for that one. League crowds are probably a bitty more now,but weve struggled to get 10,000 for some SC games.Theyre down at most other clubs too -

Its a strange one.Their home gates for the size of town are very good.You would think more would be up for the SC,than run of the mill league games. Saying that,our home SC crowds have dived over the years for some reason -

Scottish Cup 5th Round V Ross County
Elgindon replied to Chris Frae Killie's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Sounds like we dominated the game,and their keeper had an outstanding game.Good to hear Taylor played like we know he can. Interested in how Rooney and Reynolds played? -

Great stuff. thought theyd only increased our allocation to 2200,so they must have allowed the extras in the other stand on the day. Maybe another away game might suit us..... -
Scottish Cup 5th Round V Ross County

Sounds like its a bit scrappy,Johnny close though. Good to hear Jim Spence back on the radio -
Scottish Cup 5th Round V Ross County
Elgindon replied to Chris Frae Killie's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Oot -Hillwalking cancelled due to weather,could have made this game Happy with the same line up,good options if it needs changed. 2 - 1 Dons. COYR -
A few beers with my pal (Guinness golden ale) in front of the stove before a winter hill wander the morn

Scottish Cup 5th Round V Ross County
Elgindon replied to Chris Frae Killie's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Think i would start with Rooney too.Should be a bit of feelgood with Jonny signing,so nervously optimistic about this one. Its a tidy wee stadium,should be a good old atmosphere if they sell out too. COYR -
Brain tumour apparently,45 y/o.

Scottish Cup 5th Round V Ross County
Elgindon replied to Chris Frae Killie's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Love the Scottish cup,wish we could regain some of the old fervour for it. Its a tasty looking tie,though our record up there is a bit grim.Thoughts on the line up? Wasnt at the game on Saturday,but did Stockley do enough to start? Drop Stockley and Rooney,and run at them with Storey? Any other changes to deal with County/ -
What a boost,what a player,love Jonny Hayes Despite our frustrations at times,we should probably appreciate more what weve got at pres* *cue a humping on Saturday

Scottish Cup 5th Round V Ross County
Elgindon replied to Chris Frae Killie's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
First allocation sold out(2000),but more being made available on Tues... -
'Seemed' like we created quite a few chances.Nice bit of banter with Christie and the fans,look forward to watching him next time round if not at County(sold out,but more tickets being allocated)

A few Deeside hills of varying degrees of difficulty,all within a few miles of each other Lochnagar - 1156m - Am sure a few guys on here have done this one,but heres an alternative route to make things more interesting.If you click on the link below,and zoom out so you can see Lochnagar(Cac Carn Beag) to your left,and the Spittal of Glenshee car park to your right.Follow the track out of the car park,and over the bridge across the stream to allt-na ghiubhsaich - clais rathadan - up the path skirting Meikle pap,and round to Lochnagar summit at the far end.This is the standard route up and down. But most folk arent aware theres a wee path down the west side towards Coire na Saoibhaide.From there turn back East along the front of the lochan(easily crossable stream),and aim to rejoin the path inside Meikle pap back to the car park.The path disappears but the walking is reasonable,with a few low rocks to clamber over en route Lets you get a good look in at the Corrie.Another option is to approach Lochnagar from along the West edge of Loch Muick,up the Glas Allt Sheil to the fine waterfall further up,and then onto the summit.Allow anything from 5-8hrs? depending on options and fitness http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/bingmaps.php?qu=S&rf=457 Carn na Drochaide - 818m - ^^^Using the same map as above.type in Carn na Drochaide,and scroll til you have the hill to the left ,and Keiloch car park,Invercauld to your right.This is a smaller,easier hill going by an alternative route to the normal one at Linn of Quoich.Park at the Keiloch car park,and head West along the track towards Altdourie,via Invercauld house. track on the way to Invercauld house,below Beyond Altdourie,take the track towards Gleann an t-Slugain.Where it splits in 2,take the left option,and look for the path up Creag a Chleirich.We couldnt find it,but bashed our way up thru the heather.When you get above the tree line,youll find one of the best views down Deeside(and the N/E IMO).Carrying onto the summit of Carn na Drochaide is optional.There is no path,and quite a few false summits en route,but again fine views,this time over to the Cairngorms Cyclable most of the way to the start of the ascent up Creag A Chleirich. Track beyond Altdourie(below) a bit rougher Meall an Tionail OS map recommended for this one(use link in Lochnagar description).This hill is just West of Lochnagar.Park at Keiloch car park (between Ballater and Braemar),and head back down to the main road,and cross the old Invercauld bridge Meall an Tionail in the distance from the bridge, rhs in below photo Follow the track and then take the upper track where it splits in 2,aiming for the falls of Garbh allt(worth a look).From there follow the track round and up the Feindallacher burn.A bike can be used all the way up to here,and dropped off at the shelter,situated near the end of the track,where it becomes more a path Shelter at the end of the track .From here cut across the stream and moor(a bit rough to start with),and head up Meall an Tionail. Great views to upper Deeside,and Bheinn A'Bhuird.Return the same way Balmoral cairns OS map needed A couple of low level hills with some historic interest.Did these while waiting for materials for a job at Crathie.There are 5 cairns dating back to the mid 1800s to mark the marriages of various members of the royal family,and also a massive pyramid cairn to mark the death of Prince Albert,by a "broken hearted" Queen Victoria.Easy walking on low level hills,amongst pine forest mixed with some ancient scots pine. Turned off the A93 at Crathie between Ballater and Braemar,over the river Dee at Balmoral,and parked at the little settlement at Easter balmoral.Theres parking space on the left(east) side of the village as you enter it. head across the road over the bridge,and take the first track/road on your left,in front of the house ^^^^.OS map needed - This is the start of the track that runs between (on the left),Beatrice and Alberts cairns,and (on the right) Helenas cairn Helenas cairn There are paths that weave around the hill,but I headed straight up from the track to Helenas cairn first,and back to the track,same at Alices,and then followed the track over the River Girnock From there follow the track to the left towards Princess Royals cairn.Its very rough as you look up at the summit from the east,so best to walk beyond the summit and find an easier route up and down from the West side.From there followed the track all the way round til I reached the path that links Prince Albert and Princess Beatrice cairns,and back to the car

Was up north this w/e,so missed the game yesterday,but dont think its a coincedence that he's been playing alongside a more imposing guy in Shinnie? and he had Robson beside him when he was getting all that attention a couple of years ago.He seems quite a shy loon and those guys bring him out of himself.Certainly dont or didnt think he was confident enough for captain,but lets see how this pairing develops. Would still prefer a bigger unit beside him,with Shinnie at l/b,but maybe that suitable guy wasnt available in the window.Hope we get it sorted in summer
