  1. Stood on the other side of the water(Marlborough sounds) looking towards Wellington a few years ago.The water in between looks horrific. Wouldn't be swimming or sailing in a hurry
  2. City managing to snatch a thrashing from the jaws of victory.Pity there wasnt a replay,enjoyed some great SC ties at Borough Briggs back in the day. Interest in remaining SC ties now non existant inc Darvel/Falkirk
  3. Think Sally McCoist was quoted as once saying Hewitt 'was the most skilful player he played against' as they were coming thru the ranks. Speedy recovery JH and happy birthday to both
  4. Just heard this on the radio. Not a typical listen,great tune
  5. Coulson could do a lot of damage further forward on the left,...or possibly in place of Clarkson if unavailable. A few useful tricks up his sleeve for a stuffy defence
  6. Think we the fans need to have a say at the end of the season whether to continue with VAR. Lot a folks must have been put off it by now
  7. Called for Miovski to be subbed and he scores a double . Motherwell may have been crap but they were just the opposition we needed at this time.We got better and the confidence grew as the game went on. Defence looked pretty solid,not sure how signable the new guys might be if they continue to improve? We were doing fine,but what a difference to our attacking threat Coulson made when he came in.Exceptional skills at times. I would have Duk in the side every week if youve got quick moving/thinking players like Coulson and Clarkson around him.Too many lofty punts to Miovski at times.Happy to have Kennedy as a squad player. Can't fault his effort but we there's usually little end product. Think we can improve in that dept. Good win though,better than expected crowd,Parkhead may be a bit too soon but main thing is avoid a silly scoreline.
  8. Get Bavidge on for a bit
  9. Hopefully we can get a couple more,this Well side are as shite.as expected. Doing OK,a wee bit predictable though. I'd take Miovski off and try someone a bit more mobile.Get the ball down and moving quicker

  11. Looking forward to it kinda,due to our unpredictability. Hoping Robbo's learned to make the changes quicker this week when necessary. A nice wee legal injury to Van Veen early on wouldn't go amiss. COYR
  12. Mainer Driving Would rather Scales on the left of a 3 or as a wing back. Think being burdened with Stewart didn't help him.Decent footballer IMO. Would like to see Johnnys directness further forward alongside Duk and Clarkson,bring on Markandy after the third goes in Overdue a win v this lot ,3 - 1 Dons Duk,Hayes,Clarkson
  13. A tough watch as said,ball up in the air too often,attacks broke down too easy. Think I would have taken Miovski off,Coulson to L/B and let the wee guys Duk,Hayes and later,Malarkady run at and around their defence a bit more. New defenders did OK nothing more,reserve judgement after a run of games. St Mirren were tidy though,could well have won without McRorie going off.
  14. Yip St Mirren the better side. Can only get better second half. Duk needs to anticipate Miovskis knock ons better. Nobody offering Duk or Johnny an out ball on the wings
  15. Crowd will do well to be above 10k.Pretty poor maybe understandable
  16. Just heading in,fancy us to win now 3 - 1 Dons Miovski,Clarkson,Duk.
  17. In Mainer Prediction. 0 - 0
  18. Quick 4 goals were right back in it.COYR
  19. The Young brothers are the only Scots left,as was Bon Scott.There's images of them with Scotland tops on pre Argentina '78,but can't recall any hun links
  20. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/aberdeen-fc/5321860/aberdeen-linked-with-january-transfer-window-swoop-for-fulham-centre-back1/
  21. ^^Thats the stuff Oot Stream at hame Rampant reds to run riot* 5 - 1 Dons Hayes x 3,Duncan x 2. *or possibly the fans otherwise
  22. If there's nobody available or worth employing at the time then an interim manager is handy til there is. An opportunity for Robson to maybe surprise us meantime??
  23. The romance of the Cup,back on the merrygoround we go
  24. Just before my time. Wish I'd caught some of those 60s/early 70s City sides in the Scottish cup Early 60s City were leading Celtic 1 - 0 at home with 6mins to go. A defensive slip from an old relative of mine helped them back into it to win 2 - 1 Hence the uncomfort about tonights game....
