Ah. confusing them with the Oldco ICF

I think Rowson just shades it over Miller for me

Thought Hibs were the CCS? Don't go to many aways now but the old Dens and Tannadice were good.Eastet Rd and Tyne castle terraces were too open. Needed a huge support to be fun. Old Hampden pre seats was great. Parkhead when we had a couple of hundred in the Main stand. Character forming

C from me. In order to maintain our(and the players) interest,he's going to have to take more gambles.I think some of the players that have been a bit off form lately is possibly because our approach to games isnt stimulating enough?? Probably vhy the supports a bit meh at pres, despite being in a cup final. Trying to change things by personnel, rather than approach to games.Definitely think he can get more out of this squad

Nice. Looks pretty lush for the end of a Spanish summer Been doing dribs and drabs of the Speyside way the last couple of months,just finished on sunday.A pleasant journey rather than spectacular.More scenic at the top end near Ballindalloch,our start point.Good paths/tracks all the way,so can be cycled if preferred. EDIT - We did the section from Grantown to Ballindalloch yesterday(30/12/2016),wouldnt recommend this section for a mountin bike unless extremely fit.Barely saw the river Spey on this bit,though a pleasant enough walk.Hilliest section weve done Loads of loupin salmon en route.14oC mid afternoon

Last fae me tonight Vild Cherry - Play that funky music

Try again, nae quick enough

A great wee place to get the kids outdoors ^^^^ Heres a fine wee hill for them(or anyone else)in the next few months, more so when theres a bit of snow on the higher tops.Near Ballater, called Craig of Prony,if youre up that way.Easy hill,great views Take the Ballater bypass on the way to Braemar.Just after you come out of the bypass back onto the A93,there is a turn off to Lary on the Rhs shown below Head up that road a couple of hundred yards and park beside the first building on the lhs,as per below photo.Craig of Prony is the hill ahead on the right.Walk back the way to the first gate,and make your way up from there.Only around 250m of ascent but great views of upper deeside/Lochnagar,as said,even better in snow Main reason for posting was bird identification.Spotted this hawk doing the above Munroes. 2 of them came screeching at me from a steep bit of hill.Then another couple of pairs further on.Never seen this type of hawk before.Very similar to a sparrow hawk or Kestrel but definitely smaller,with a bluey green tinge on its top side.Mate said it might be a Merlin which Ive never heard of

Right,this isnt meant as a thread for picking holes in McInnes' management,rather trying to find what we need to do to get more out of what weve got. Even before the result on tuesday,and after reaching the final,there was a slightly more subdued atmosphere than possibly expected? Despite our results,is it fair to say,its never felt like weve gotten into a proper rhythym as a team,including nearly all last season (IMO).So,assuming there may be another untapped 20% still to be seen,how do we find it,or what do we need to change to get it,with the squad weve got Would the players respond more to a different style of football. Something a bit more adventurous? Is it tempo/intensity? like we saw more of in 2013/14 Just throwing it out there.Ho do we get more out of what weve got?..(or should we shut up and be grateful )

My interest in the Dons started during the Bonthrone era,when we were in a pretty sharp downward trajectory,crowds dwindling,poor signings etc.McLeod turned things upside down.A bit of a loony,but just what we needed at the time,and as said brought back King joey.Could argue he laid the foundations,for the McNeill/Fergie foundations. I think thats all he had in his locker though,one of those guys that could make an impact,before fizzling out after a year or two. Agree with the Smiffy/Scott combo being up there,rather than Smithy alone.Some great football early on

Played drums back in the day.Remember trying to find a type of music that I didnt kno the name of,til I heard this guy. Thats it!,Thats it!! Its name,the Blues !! Spent years playing in blues and rock bands from then. Good times (amongst some shite)

Cars dont interest me at all,as seen in the folloing list, First car - Fiat Strada.Needed to be parked on a hill,to get it bump started each day Ford Escort van - Bought to transport drum kits around.Broke doon on the A90, smoke billowing out the back,due to no oil in engine Vauxhall Cavalier 1.3 - Great car,lasted 10 years Renault Megane 1.4 - Another great car for zipping around town.10 years out that one too. Present - Using a Transit Connect for work and personal use. No private regs

A wee thread for your outdoor pursuits.routes up local and further afield hills and mountains, low level walks,mountain bike trails,wild camping,ski reports.Anything else outdoorsy that others may want to mention/recommend. My thing is hill walking mainly,with a bit of skiing now and again.Ill start things off with a few routes of hills of varying difficulty, starting with the toughest,from the South Cairngorms 1) Bheinn A Ghlo,Carn A Chlamain,Beinn Dearg,Carn an Fhidlier,An Sgarsoch The approach route i took for these hills can also be done as a low level walk,or mountain bike route without doing the hills. Starts at the Linn of Dee,5 miles beyond Braemar,and carries on through to Blair Atholl at the far end.Takes you through some of the furthest from civilisation landscape in the UK. My plan was to bike and walk in on an evening, to just beyond the Falls of Tarf (at the side of the river Tilt),set up camp and do the west side Munroes the next day,and then Beinn A Ghlo's 3 munroes on day 2, and then back out Parked at the Linn of Dee,and followed a good low level track to white bridge,where it splits in 2.Took the route South over the bridge,and past Bynack lodge,all the way to the falls of Tarf. I should point out that,cycling absolutely kills me. I never normally cycle anywhere, except a couple times a year to get to some hills.Any gradient at all and I need to come off and push.This route was pretty reasonable all the way to around Loch Tilt Track near Bynack to give an idea of terrain.Easy biking /walking,great sense of space around here Track near the Falls of Tarf.Pushed the bike at this stage,though a regular M/biker would breeze it.Easy enough walking. I set up camp at the start of a track at,OS - 972,775 (Braemar/Blair Atholl map),took about 2 hrs to reach here,appx 2/3 bike,1/3 hike. In the morning,followed the track that heads towards a sheiling/old building on the edge of the Tarf water,and headed up An Sgarsoch first(initially a bit rough),then over to nearby Carn an Fhidlhier.From there over to Beinn Dearg,round by the west side of Loch Mairc,and up Carn A Chlamain,before heading for the track on Braigh choire na Conlaich back to the tent. A long summer day needed Day 2 was the Beinn A Ghlo route, starting from the tent,down Glen Tilt to the bridge at Marble Lodge.From there,make way up Carn Liath,the first Munro,along to Braigh Coire Chruinn bhalgain,the second,and then to Carn nan Gabhar.From there head down to Meall A Mhuirich, looking out for a stalkers path to help you down to Glen Tilt and aiming for the bridge across the Tilt river,around 3km above Forest lodge .An Sgorsach and Carn an Fhidhlier can be done seperately by following the same route initially,but turning up the track at the Geldie burn,past Geldie Lodge,where a path leads you on to Carn an Fhidhlier,over to An Agarsoch,and back to the Geldie Burn/Linn of Dee. If not doing An Sgarsoch/Carn an Fhidhlier,the other hills are best planned from the Bridge of Atholl side. Glen Tilt,a very attractive glen 2) Geallaig hill - 743m An easier hill,just past Ballater on the road to Braemar.The tourist route for this one is a rather drab track from the north side,but can be done from the South via this route. Park at the first car park on the right,just after the Coilecreich Inn.walk west along the road until you come out from the trees.There is a wooden gate on your right hand side.Go over that,and follow the grassy track up hill,which becomes more of a vehicle track further up.About two thirds of the way up the track seems to veer away from the summit,but a path appears,and takes you on to the top. Good views of Lochnagar and Upper Deeside. 1 or 2 hrs up and the same down depending on fitness 3) Millstone hill - 408m And a good starter hill on the south side of Bennachie.Parked at the Donview visitor centre near Blairdaff with good paths all the way.Took about an hour up,hour doon with a couple of 7 year olds.Theres also a link path from the summit over to the South top of Bennachie. Nice Aberdeenshire landscapes en route,and some nice spots along the river Don nearby,...which is nice EDIT - A link to a map which you can zoom in for more detail.Sometimes shows paths not seen on an OS map http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk/search.php?ct=SEWM

Yes,the less airtime they get the better.If more of our,and other supports, had channelled their hate for them,into simply getting justice done,we'd have a fairer Scottish football. And yer right,i dont want a flukey draw to win a cup,I want it because we deserved it

Aye,we were there in June.Go every year for hiking/fishing and golf .Photo from the Harris golf club. Might start a hill thread on here.See if we can break the Abmad 5 views per annum threshold

welcome Goalp.....nips. No wild Scottish qualification predictions here ,and youll be fine

Ok then,Dont mind admitting this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkBS4zUjJZo

Think I'd prefer Celtic,cannot be arsed with the Circus around The Rangers. Today was a bit jittery because we hadnt scored after all that pressure against a supposedly diddy team.An awkward game,out the way.Much better being underdogs IMO.A bit more belief,or team cohesion,we'll give anyone a run for their money.
