    'You owe me an apology' she says after denying she had been coached from the sidelines.Her coach later admitted he had been coaching. Wonder if she thinks she owes the Umpire an apology...
  2. Fine day out on the Strathfarrar 4 Munros yesterday.The drive up Glen Strathfarrar alone is worth a trip.Birch and pine clad hills,with lots of flat riverside camping spots up a remote glen,one of the bonniest in Scotland Approach to the 4 hills was quite soggy,but once above 500m terrain becomes some of the easiest Munro walking with mainly short cropped grass Approaching the 3rd summit,Sguur A Choire Ghlas View along the ridge from the 2nd summit,Carn Nan Gobhar,which was the stoniest section Fine day out,followed by a fine steak and pint at the Priory,Beauly.Nice to see the Dons scarf in the bar when thru to watch some fitba
  3. Theres always the option of resigning from the league and starting a new league,like we should have done at the time of Doncaster-gate IMO. If we can get 20'000 at Easter road for an also ran battle last saturday,what would we get if it was a league title challenge....(Aye ok,20'000 because it only holds 20'000 ) Scottish fitba was dying a death pre 2012,and will do again,assuming the scum continue to progress.
  4. A wee delve into the archive with the Fab Thunderbirds.Seen here with Keith Bremner on guitar fae Aibuldeen,standing in for Jimmy Rae Vaughan(Stevies brother),who was out injured.Played in the city about 1980 supporting Rockpile. Cracking harp solo Speaking of Stevie....
  5. Out of curiosity I had a look up past attendances for comparisons.Surprised to see McInnes' has bettered a lot of Fergies averages. http://www.fitbastats.com/aberdeen/club_records_league_attendance.php
  6. May had been showing signs of improvement recently, we seemed to go to shit as a whole yesterday. Keeping schtum for now til everyones back and we get a good look at whatever our 1st 11 is over a decent period
  7. Mind coming out that end after the LC final being a bit of a stramash. Can see how a wee bit of trouble could escalate
  8. Deary me. Was hoping to see him at some point today. Brings Anderson into the running hopefully. See we've signed a youngish(21) defender, Jordan McGregor
  9. Tyrone saying £6.5m.Fair play to the club for holding out again.Would have accepted that personally
  10. Always liked David Begg too,canna believe he said that. Flippin poultice
  11. OK,I'll get it https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/borders/
  12. Not sure how mobile you are but getting the circulation going with a bit of regular daily walking can help Is it the S/W youre at? https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/galloway/
  13. Wouldnt be surprised,assuming Mckenna is still with us,that if the defence becomes more reliable,McInnes feels more justified in continuing with game management. "Looking to see the game out at 1 - 0" with 45 mins left,goes against instincts,and the object of the game.Going by yesterday,the players dont seem to be comfortable with it.If you have too fixed a mindset like that,does it allow for opportunities in the game when the opposition defence look vulnerable and might be worth going at. Attack is a problem for us.If we dont look to attack with intent regularly enough,we surely take the edge off how we do it effectively. Am hoping, as a McInnes fan,he negotiates a bit more with his ideas,both to grow as a manager,and to avoid him (and us) becoming stale doing the same old year in/out,...despite the relative success of recent years.A stable defence should be an opportunity to loosen the reins a bit.
  14. Sam Roscoe was also on the bench recently,...had good reviews.Hopefully another option in the near future
  15. Juicy looking game.One of few away games I would consider driving down to these days,but away this w/e. Go with an on the deck,pacy attack and it could be a cracker. Also going with 2 - 3 scoreline Wright,GMS,Ferguson
  16. Not sure the guy on this forum is ITK,or having a pessimistic guess.Hope he's right http://www.acciesworld.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1248&start=20
  17. Agreed,great servant,down to earth loon,though I think he could be in his last season at left back.Happy with him in defence,think he performs better when the other defender is more prominent
  18. Never got into them,but mind them as far back as the late Seventies becoming regulars in Aberdeen.Decent innings for a band. ps If thats your recording,my brother and his bit o stuff are about 4 rows ahead
  19. Nice Netlights Dont appear to be other highlights anywhere.Betfred only have highlights of Celtic and sevco,understandably
  20. Ach well,Hibs it is.....
  21. Yogi 'shree' Hughes joins the list of fine Sportsound orators I see
  22. Hibs 2 v County 2
  23. Sad news,down to earth girl with one of the great voices...
  24. Disappointing to hear about Jewel in the Crown.Was always one of the better ones.Last time we were in,(after recommendations about 3 years ago),we all thought it was great.Shame if its going downhill Staying on Crown St,is that Shanghai restaurant actually open for business? Maybe need to look at their image consultant if it is Will hae a run out to Echt Tandoori and report back,driven past too many times
  25. Good points above. Ignoring the corruption in Euro fitba competition for now it's a welcome change of scene from Dumbarton in the league cup.We could have set ourselves up a bit financially, if we'd taken our chances the last few years. On the whole,enjoyed all the euro games of recent years
