Said it all in there.Further highlights for me were Simmie running towards the main stand in celebration after the second goal,and Martin Tyler,guffie TV fitba commentater at the time,walking along the edge of the South Stand smiling up at the crowd hoping for attention,but being blanked by everyone.
Nae quite ready for fitba yet,so am oot for this one,and probably will be til early August,but fair play to the 13k who've bought tickets,a decent amount.
Curious to see how we shape up,hopefully signs that we're a bit more imaginative than last season. COYR
Wark was a great player,with one of the best penalty conversion rates around at that time.
As to the game itself,3 of us bombed thru in my sisters boyfriends battered old VW Beetle.I'd nearly lost my ticket before the game,after showing it off to pals,and dropping it down a drain but managed to recover it.
An unrivalled Pittodrie Euro experience for us that night,oblivious to the future treats in store.Ipswich at that time were an extremely impressive scalp.
Happy days
A bit before my time,but Ex Abmadders donsdaft and Alladinsane might remember.First ones I recall were the Marek Dimitrov,Fortuna Dusseldorf era onwards,mustnt grumble.
Top 5 - Bayern '83,Ipswich '82,Waterschei '83,Ujpest Dozsa '84 and Copenhagen '07 for me
My era,but I had no idea that one was by the Cure.Great tune.
Would never have known that was Robert Smith in the above clip.Looks nothing like the guy that morphed into the 'Love Cats' era.A song which makes my skin crawl unfortunately.....
Are you talking about Greig Leigh,left back(EDIT - yes you are). On loan til the end of the season,and possible permanent move.Got a reasonable background https://www.afc.co.uk/news/
All seems to have gone quiet on the Ryan Fraser front.Was it just wishful speculation on Dons fans/Ryan Frasers part or is there still something in this?
Returned to Achilitibuie this year for our annual fishing/walking trip.Normally for trout,we're happy with anything close to a lb,but one of our party fluked this freak at 4.5lb.
We normally catch and release,but thought this one had had a good innings.
Thought I'd recommend this little beauty of a local hill,Sgurr an Fhidlier,a pretty famous hill in hillwalking circles just along from Achiltibuie,which at 590m,punches well above its height for views and ease of access
Looking back to the summer isles on the way up
The easy approach can lull you into a false sense of security as further on at the far end the sharp drops take you a bit by surprise
Wont give away the views but at Only 590m of ascent(less than Bennachie),the views at the end are unbelievable.Very worth the effort,and for thrill seekers,can be combined with Ben More Coigach for a narrow arete to end the day in style

Bide there,I'll get it Langfield,Mulgrew,Foster,Macdonald,Considine,Kerr,Aluko,Young,Duff,Miller,Mackie
Subs Paton for Aluko,Macguire for Mackie
That was a game I took someone to Pittodrie for their first visit. What an embarassment
This should be fun min,(assuming you mean songs youre embarassed you like)
I'll start by saying I was a blues/rock drummer locally back in the day,c/w the old Levi jacket covered in Ac/Dc /Rush/Zeppelin sew on badges at the back,the long hair blah,blah.But every so often a song would come along that you wouldnt dare to admit liking.
In the early days,this one by Anita Ward
......And more recently Alphabeat
.....Plenty more where that came from
McKenna and Devlin are an upgrade on his partner last time(Considine?),so can only hope that ups his game.Must admit,at the time,even with mistakes,he did give us a required presence at the back,and you could see a player in there if he ironed out/anticipated errors from previous mistakes,or at least if he's too thick,someone to point out what he's doing wrong.Cant be that hard..
ps the last game i remember us being at,was it Utd? Thing I remember about it was we both agreed the crowd was around 13'000,but it was reported as 17'000.
Ooft,Hopefully working alongside one of McKenna,or a fit focussed Devlin will keep him in line.,and a lot will depend how the crowd take to him.Ach well,welcome back min
