  1. Kepp your eye out for this new party in the US. The Democratic Socialists
  2. Cheers. Surprised you like that one,its a fairly typical West coast ridge up top.From the roadside they can look like a knife edge,but as per pic,nae that bad.Thats looking East,the better views were to the West. This thread was meant to appeal to the younger loons but I don't think there are any around here lol,so I'll stick up some easier must do hills for the discerning older gent when time Some more views from unfamiliar angles...

  3. Actually in the ground? Be doing well to get over 10k...
  4. Done 189,..93 to do.Started doing them seriously about 5 years ago.Wee bit worried about the dodgier Skye ones.Will need to hire a guide a couple of times,but otherwise lovin' it Achnashellach ones(below) all done recently,were some of the most remote ones done so far.Lurg Mhor and the 'Cheesecake' needed a 20 mile walk.Had to stop the car at Nairn for cramp DSC00297 by , on Flickr
  5. Well,....who can be arsed going to this one then? If that result doesn't provoke a reaction...…..(not holding my breath)..... In or oot - In,more out of curiosity Furryboots - Mainer Pre - Working Post - Trying to erase the memory Prediction - 0 - 1 Hibs. Embarassed at what the crowd might be.
  6. Tinypic has gone bust it seems.Flickr offer 1000 of free pics if anyones looking for a new site. Was up the West coast last weekend with the intention of more Munro bagging.Weather was looking good,20o plus.Got a couple of Munros done,and found out later in the evening my pal was in the area with his home built hovercraft along with a couple of other hovercrafters,and jumped at the opportunity to spend a day with them instead of hills.A great way to see Scotland from different angles with the option of landing on any sandy or gravelly beach that you wouldnt normally get near.Surprised they havnt been more popular Heading down Loch Long near Camas a Luanie DSC00441 (2) by [/url], on Flickr Glenelg bay DSC00426 by , on Flickr Sunsetting over the Cuillin from base at Lochcarron DSC00521 (2) by , on Flickr
  7. 11 posts on a Hun matchday thread sums up the apathy
  8. I thought Cosgrove in the first half had been doing quite well,including some nifty footwork in tight situations,but he was poor second half(because we were pumping high balls more often?),and I would have subbed him early for Wilson,or even tried MacLennan through the middle as I didnt think McGinn was doing bad. Wasnt enough threat from midfield though.Bryson,Ojo and Ferguson were too quiet,and our movement up front in general was a bit dull.
  9. The first half hadn't been the worst watch as far as St J games go.Thought we were comfortable until they scored a goal which I'd thought Lewis was in the process of saving Second half we just seemed to run out of ideas.Too predictable and obvious.Needed something more imaginative,eg angled runs into the box like Ojo? or Vyner? did in the first half(but never tried again),or someone pacy to run at their defence when it was clear doing the same thing over and over wasn't working. Too many players were anonymous when we needed more.
  10. About to head off.A bit breezy out there,hopefully means more ball on the deck(not sure it will happen though) McGinn behind Cosgrove for me if possible.3 - 1 Dons Cosgrovex2,MacLennan COYR
  11. Nae sure about.Can only remember him commenting on Dons games for North sound in the nineties before moving on to Sportsound.Can't recall him doing anything between or on top of those 2 gigs?
  12. If we've got time for an election would it not be simpler to allow us a vote on the type of Brexit we want instead? eg,No deal,....May's deal,...a n other deal. Too simplistic. ? More democratic,keeps the sleekit manouvering out of it.
  13. ….Highlights https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/49545099
  14. On a similar subject,what is the connection with Donstalk to this effort ?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?
  15. Quite like the look of that line up KFP,and wouldn't be unhappy with McGinn in Wilsons role if it came to it.Be fine to see something a bit more experimental from McInnes if only to divert the apathy In or Oot - In,its a thocht like Furryboots - Mainer Pre - Driving Post - Driving Prediction - Optimistic 3 - 0. Consi hat trick
  16. we all pumped up for this then.... link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c55otd9tvsc
  17. Probably not but since were here,I'd add Chris Anderson,Dick Donald and Jim Leighton to LA Dons 3
  18. Mind seeing this guy on 'the Tube' back in the 80's. Stanley Jordan
  19. To be fair to Sam,weve created about 3 chances this season,and he's converted 9 of them.Pre Rooney,We were crying out for someone with a return like Sams for years,so am not going to complain about how he gets his goals for now I also think he's a better footballer than we give him credit for,...I doubt he asks that we lump hopeless balls upto him.Quicken the tempo,get the ball on the deck, and try 2 up front,or at least experiment with it more often and see what happens. ps anyone else noticed how the guests viewing figures go from normally 10s of viewers to suddenly mid hundreds of viewers and then back down again at different times of the day??
  20. We scored goals when we made more of an effort to score goals but looked more likely to concede when we made more of an effort to not concede...as we often do
  21. Brysons an outside chance for Sunday I'm hearing elsewhere,..been training the last few days.A bit sad when your pinning your hopes on an aging midfielder to revive fortunes,but who knows. 1 - 1 Considine
  22. Think it would have been close to a sell out if we hadnt played like blouses recently ,though rackon there will be nearer 16k by kick off High tempo and in their faces from the start and see what happens. COYR
  23. Latest trip was over to the Cuillin,Skye to do an undone munro,..Am Basteir.Failed in my quest to get to the summit because of a 3m blind down climb(but it didnt stop my walk partner ). In the process though,we followed an unplanned circuit well worth a wander for non regular hill baggers,which gets you high up and into the heart of the Cuillin without any over taxing climbing.Parked slightly beyond the Sligachan hotel on the A863 where a path starts off on the lhs of the road and follows the Allt Dearg Beag on its rhs all the way up to the Basteir gorge,seen at the top of the stream to the left of the path Once into the gorge,you can see the route all the way ahead mid photo to Am Basteir,the lump of rock.But the aim is to simply head for the lowpoint to its left,where youll get a cracking view of the Southern Cuillin and out to Rum etc.From there you head back down a bit,under the lump of rock,and over to the rhs to Sgurr a Basteir Heading underneath the lump of Am Basteir and over to the start of the ridge of Sgurr A Basteir on the right And follow the ridge along to the easier summit of Sgurr A Basteir,which leads steeply,but not overly difficultly back to the Allt Dearg Beag,and a pint and meal back at the Sligachan hotel.We bivvied up near Bealach Basteir overnight,but would allow 7/8 hrs.Superb views
  24. Wright and Main off,Gallacher or McGinn, and Wilson on hopefully
  25. Thankfully missed most of the first half.Found a stream for the second http://www.hesgoal.com/news/51209/St_Mirren_vs_Aberdeen.html
