Sake min,half an hour of hope crushed already Got any links? Found this one(among mostly positive comments) in the comments section.Seems to be his lack of data to back his ideas up ?https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2017-2-march-april/feature/allan-savory-says-more-cows-land-will-reverse-climate-change Another good listen(to me at least)

Well its outdoors,nae sure where else to stick this Alternative solution to climate change?.Goes against what we thought....

Agree with all that.Would add,I'd prefer we employed an attack with pace v Celtic,and with guys that can move and receive the ball quickly.Taking the big man up front out of the equation,rarely succesful IMO,you would hope might force more invention.Thought McLennan showed a bit of promise today,and nothing to lose trying Anderson in stages from now too A bit sad when were relieved we only got beat 1- 0 though

Good indeed.No surprise though,a shitehouse from top to bottom https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46403987

Bar a bit of stubble,never grown any facial hair myself,but thought a mouser or 2 might trick some of our limp blouses into more Samsonish attitude ..eg Christine Forrester and Larry Gleeson.

Loved Stuart Kennedy back in the day.Remember randomly bumping into him in Blackburn that summer and asking when he thought he'd be back.Was quite hopeful he'd be back earlyish in the new season..... Never played again. Great player,great moustache.Bring back the mouser,enough of these creepy Amish beards....

Swap McLennan for Anderson and youre onto something there as you say though canna see it .A more likely surprise would be with Tansey at centre half,or Ball on the wing

Considine in for Devlin.See how it pans out but you can tell early on if Wilson is up for it or not.Hope Del recognises it quickly and gets on Anderson,or my pref,McLennan Tough game,but a potentially good line up. 0 - 2 Dons May x2 COYR

Change of scene to the big band sound.Buddy Rich looked like he was cha'in a wasp,but him and his band made some great stuff.Some top snare work near the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRJWFj7EXu8

Glorious weekend most places. En route to Skye Chance of a fog inversion in some places. Recommended - Barmekin hill, Echt good for sunset, old Fort at summit, under 300m. Hill of Fare,Echt good for sunrise at mast, sunset at the summit. 471m. Tap o Noth near Lumsden, old hill Fort, sunrise and sunset,560m

For all Shinnies flaws,his will to win is good for the side,something I dont think we have much of.Also think its good to have a senior local loon in the side,....like Robson and Anderson added to the feel good of the '14 side. Cant see any obvious candidates out there that suit what we need in his place either

I would see if our current line up gets into a bit of rythym,maybe switch on Wilson along the way,.....otherwise aye,drop Wilson for either Anderson or Mclennan

Playing with a lot more porpoise and basking in the praise.Maybe the captains armband will be enough to net his signature?...

Sunday evening's sombre enough as it is. Tower of Power

Absorbing game rather than eye catching,but a good deserved win.Thought Hibs were mostly poor,as much because of good aggresive defending snuffing out attacks early,plus Kamberi's woeful finishing Like Andy C,but Lowe looks so much more natural in there.GMS,McGinn both good,May worked hard,pity he didnt just lob the ball goalwards first time for that chance.Wilson had a couple of nice touches,but didnt really get a sniff. A strong starting line up,hoping we start getting a bit of a rythym going now.Decent crowd,good atmosphere.COYR

As long as he's impartially shite and comes out for the second half...

Happy to be proved wrong crowdwise,but doesnt look like a night for hoofball

My opinion,we do have an element that over fantasise about Rangers.Would prefer it if we'd distanced ourselves/ let them be seen for what they are.Unfortunatley we allowed ourselves to stoop to their level,to get a 'rise' or whatever from them with the cringeworthy Simmie song,Ibrox disaster among others. But,I think and hope thats a shite phase the N/E was going through(ie the tail end of the oil boom sleaze ).The Hun and Tim have been scummy forever

Aye,was slightly tongue in cheek about Stuartie. I was trying to buy tickets for the Mainer the other week,and it was showing sold out.Came to the day of the game,and some of the sections were more than half empty. Must have ST holders putting something into the club but dont go very often Re the game,looking forward to it but hope Deeks identified how poor weve been from midfiled to attack,let alone sore on the eyes,and we attack with a bit more swagger and intent than of late. COYR

Wee Stuartie probably will

Cant go wrong on the Munros when the suns out.Camera-Auto-Point-shoot.Salmon photo by Nephews wife,not me heres some local walks.Get you up a Munro in no time https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/glasgow/ayrshire.shtml

Lencarl in almost warming to May shock In or oot - In hopefully,but not confirmed Pre/post - driving Furryboots - mainer Prediction - 2 -2 May x2 Crowd - Love a bit of Friday night fitba,but it doesnt seem to have caught on as expected 11'745

The river Ayr is the only salmon river Im aware of down that way,but I wouldnt know where any waterfalls or weirs are to watch them.On the Spey we just followed a riverside path and watched them jumping randomly on all stretches of the river,in mid November

Ben Nevis(Alternative route) We were meant to be doing a W/E of Munro bagging down in Glen Etive the other week,but had to quickly make other arrangements after hitting snow on the roads on the Dava Moor and further on,which slowed us down on what was already a tight schedule Decided to do a couple of the Mamores(Stob Ban and Mullach nan Coirean) on the Saturday,and would have a think about what to do on the Sunday over a bar meal at night.After much scratching of heads,ie "Nah,would take to long",or "nah,best doing those with another 2 in summer" etc.Eventually an obvious question that hadnt been asked was, "Emm,you ever done Ben Nevis?" "Nuh!....You?" "Nuh!" So,we hatched a route that would include another Munro,Carn Mor Dearg,which would also avoid all the tourists on the dour slog up the other side. Going this way also gives fantastic close ups of Ben Nevis' north face,a steep rugged rocky ridge.Only down side to this route is having to traverse the Carn Mor Dearg arete,a narrow rocky ridge between CMD and Ben Nevis.Head for heights needed. Parked at the North Face car park at Torlundy just outside Fort William on the Inverness road.Once parked up,its just a case of following the initial signs saying 'North Face trail' which goes through the forestry,and follows the Allt A Mhuillin river up the glen Not visible in the photo,but the path cuts off at an angle across the hillside to the summit at the left far end(Carn Mor Dearg),drops down to the arete,mid photo,which links you round to Ben Nevis on the right Below is the worst section of the arete.We probably wouldnt have done it in the snow if we hadnt been able to follow someones footsteps. Gets easier the further round you get.Path zig zags up,steep but not difficult, and behind the rocky sections to the large flat summit From the summit,you take the tourist route down as far as the loch that appears,along the edge of the loch,and downhill to meet the original North Face path out of the forestry. Recommend it.Superb alternative.Ben Nevis summit is also one of the best viewpoints around. We were nipping on sweatily to get back in time to watch the fitba(9hrs),but the book time says to allow 10/11 hrs which may also be a bit tight depending on hill fitness.Long summer day better.

Some valid points above,and I also think our intent is part of the problem.Wish we'd go into games on the front foot because I dont think our players enjoy,nor are very good at the 'containment'/ soaking up pressure style.The worry is,McInnes may be thinking were getting results therefore this justifies my tactics,rather than,can I get more out of what Ive got? Looks like it might be a case of scrape and scratch our way to January,and hope we can majicly find the missing player or 2 that will allow us to play more cohesively,and a tad more optimisticly.
