  1. He wasnt great,but somehow managed to get his own song.It was either him or Toni Kombuoare
  2. 4 - 4 - 2 Theo Boel Arnason Solberg Tzvetanov Varga Heikenen Bisconti Aluko Gilhaus Zero
  3. I thought Gerrard had already ruled himself out along the lines of 'not ready for a club like Rangers',? Tbh if he was interested,he could be the sort of appointment that provides them the catalyst we dont want them to receive.doubt he will take it though
  4. Keep it going Sea Bass,and well done for the effort to get to the games. wish i knew more about your condition to be able to help,but maybe an online forum for fellow sufferers might help like this one (or others), https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/27200/hemiplegia
  5. 31091991_1637419483032570_333026545746575360_n by [/url], on Flickr Following Jezzas lavish praise,a good time to post up the latest wanderings. Beinn Alligin(a ridge containing 2 munros, Sgurr Mohr 3234ft,Tom na Gruagaich 3024ft,and the horns of Alligin) What a cracking day we had here at the W/E. Havnt seen views like we did on these hills.We did the whole circuit which includes the horns,but its possible to do the 2 munros without doing the tricky horn section as explained below Parked at the National trust car park about 3 km West of the village of Torridon,and followed the path up on the rhs of the river(Abhainn Coire Mhic Nobuill),which is next to the car park IMG_4170 by , on Flickr Most people do it Clockwise,but we did it anti-clockwise.Followed the path up crossing the 2 bridges you come to en route,and headed sharply up the ridge for about 20 mins before it eased off for a bit The first horn to the right,with the first munro,Sgurr Mor to the left IMG_4189 by , on Flickr The first horn was the trickiest,requiring a wee bit of scrambling,ie using all fours,and a couple of bum slides on descent. Looking back at the first horn descent.Looks worse that it was in reality,paths weave in and round the slabby sections IMG_4212 by , on Flickr On the 3rd horn,looking over to the 2 munros IMG_4227 by , on Flickr Best not to be done in snow,but the path zig zags up the inside of the rhs edge IMG_4247 by , on Flickr Once youve done that part,the trickiest bits are out the way.Sgurr Mor offers 360o of outstanding views The route ahead from Sgurr Mor over to Tom na Gruagaich IMG_4317 by , on Flickr Ptarmigan en route IMG_4345 (2) by , on Flickr Just after the summit of Tom na Gruagaich,theres a cairn(left-mid photo) to mark the descent back to the car park.We managed to miss it and find an awkward clamber over rocks and scree instead IMG_4365 by , on Flickr Mistakes aside this is a superb mountain,voted in the top 10 of Scottish Munros.The tricky horns section can be avoided without missing much of the views,by ascending Tom na Gruagaich first,(follow lhs of river) and onto Sgurr Mor,and return the same way Sgurr mor and the 3 horns on the way down IMG_4393 (2) by , on Flickr
  6. Was that the one about Ben Nevis RS? Watch very little TV,but will Iplayer it.Heard a few folk raving about it
  7. I had a couple from Sinclairs of Rhynie the other day,also shite.Hard and bland The hame bakery in Peterhead was voted best buttery recently
  8. Could be a cracker.Kenny will be a big miss,but the tombola rarely lets us down . Hibs on a good run,I'll go for a draw 2 - 2
  9. *Words marked - ...though aye,it would be nice to see Hibs sneak the title ...Until then,into these anti-fitba huns. COYR
  10. Sad to hear.Often the voice of reason on Abmad
  11. Looking forward tothe end of the season tbh,but we should probably be making the effort to push the boys over the line,whatever we think of McInnes and the performances In or Oot - In Furryboots - Mainer Pre - Driving Post - En route to Torridon Prediction - Hate playing this shower,probably a draw. 1 -1 GMS
  12. We seem to keep picking up these kinds of wins.Hard to believe we could be on course for a similarish points total as the previous 4 or 5 years,ie early to mid 70s despite the dour performances. Huns - Hearts 0-0 HT
  13. 2, Shay. Inspired line up and no mistake
  14. Having a fine day outside working in the garden.Come in to see Reynolds,Ball and OConnor are all in the line up .....Think I'll head back outside
  15. If you mean Robertsons of Stoney,i think they closed down a few years ago....
  16. Quine at the veggie place said normal rowies were made with pork fat hence the swap to veggie. No idea if that's right or not
  17. Sake min....
  18. Back in the day,Aitkens may have been up there,but I would guess bad management the last 10,15 years,or the owners knowing they were going to retire,has seen most of their shops(Aitkens) look a bit tatty these days.I see JG Ross has a big new shop across the road in Torry,so wouldna think it was a lack of potential trade Got round to trying a couple of their rowies today and was a bit underwhelmed tbh.Mediocre. Been trying various other rowies around town with the morning coffee.The wifie at the sandwich shop on esslemont Av was up their with the best,....but now her daughter(quite tidy),has taken over the shop,and replaced them with veggie rowies . Was in Herds the butchers the other day,and asked them who made their rowies,and was surprised to find they make their own .....but I would suggest they maybe stick to butchering Rowie results are in as follows,starting in last place - J G Ross - Just looked,didna bother buying...shite Herds - Bland,floury Chalmers - Better,but mediocre Aitkens - Average Thains - Good But the winner is..... Bruce of the Broch .Bit of a dark horse,but good generous,flaky rowie.Boy at the Grove(top loon) in Union Grove had them.He'll be using them permanently when Aitkens packs in
  19. Dons daft,check your post count,....stop posting All the best with that Malaga min
  20. He looked competent alongside McKenna recently at CH,but he's burned his bridges now,so he can clear off. .....Derek currently taking in the Finchley on the Minge game for a potential replacement
  21. Disappointing effort as far as rhyming goes.Have a dairylea
  22. We went up to Kintail last w/e to stay in a bothy(Camban) overnight and bag a few hills the next day.Got up onto the first ridge and realised the snow was a bit more avalanche-ish than anticipated and decided not to risk it. Thought I'd post some details up,as its well worth a trip to the bothy alone,with some of Scotlands finest mountains flanking the route,a triple waterfall(Allt Ghranda) on the way,and ending up in a remote glen with access to some great hills,if you can be arsed. Park at the Kintail outdoor centre,Morvich,near the caravan park,and follow the track up the rhs of the River Chroe..Its just a case of following this track all the way past the Allt Ghranda,and on to Camban. Total distance around 10 miles to Camban from Morvich.Total ascent appx 350m.Took us appx 3hrs with full gear and a shared 10kg bag of coal. Camban bothy IMG_4108 (2) by [/url], on Flickr Inside IMG_4097 by , on Flickr No electric,no water(stream nearby),no toilet.2 rooms with 4 bunks,and fire in each room(no fuel) Top tips - Get there before 4.We got there at 3 and thought we had the place to ourselves.By sunset it was a full house,(holiday w/e). Go in summer,no fuel to carry
  23. Aye,decent line up with what weve got.Think a Stewart /Christie swap could work,as could a Stewart/McGinn swap. Maybe better we had that limp effort at Hearts,and hope it was just a(nother) bad day.Got to be up for this.COYR

    Ach nae my kind of manager,but a likeable enough chap.Think he was manager at Hamilton when he gave the Souness Huns a couple of embarassing defeats. Chain smoked or inhaled cigars hence the rauch voice?.May be what finished him off.
