  1. 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
  2. Thats more like it.Welcome aboard Craig
  3. It might work if more of our players were African,but nae so well next to pasty skinned locals
  4. Enjoyed the occasional bits of magic,but an icing on the cake type player suited to an already confident team,ie not us. oh for a Johnny Hayes....
  5. 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
  6. Cant beat a bit of SRV
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. Nae sure if I posted this clip at Brexit time,but this guys worth a listen
  10. His appearances/appearance were enough to haunt anyone...
  11. Bit of confusion with the 'not a regular starter',along with the 'pivotal' player comments.Had a look and he played 25 times last season.Cant find the sub appearances but he averaged around 35mins a game going by stats. 17 off the bench according to p and j
  12. Know nothing about the boy,but mildly surprised he's chosen here ahead of the championship,but welcome aboard to the loon.Got to be an upgrade on Rooney/Stewart/Wilson on the wing
  13. Oops,aye youre right,getting mixed up with Ujpest Dozsa.Farsma specs....
  14. If that was a mild attempt at humour,stick to specs min I'll take the same scoreline as last time we played them though Despite over 45 years of the Dons,have never been on a Euro away jolly.Time to remedy that.Watching the draw with interest......
  15. Poor move(for them),just the stimulus the Hun need,........not ruling out us having an amazing transfer window though
  16. Remember it well too,warm sunny weather.Beat Southampton 5 -1 ,won the other and drew one I think? Wasnt too many opposition fans up for it,but seem to remember a West 'Am hard case givin it large in the SS.
  17. 'Hat's off ...... ......loved Neil Sedaka
  18. Easy cheesy listening - the California Honey drops. Top Sax solo
  19. Had his flaws,but we'll miss his drive,and also the local loon link with the fans.Midfield wasnt his natural position and hoping we can find a more complete replacement,as well as someone to compliment Ferguson,....though am struggling to think of names out there??? Good luck to him though,gave his all.
  20. Andy Geoghean,theres a blast fae the past,....and not forgetting goal a game keeper, Marc de Clerq
  21. Chuffed with this,been one of the hardest positions to fill for us the last few years .Likeable chap seems to like it here,as much as we like him...half the battle. Super Joe
  22. Cheers.A couple of local,more family friendly walks since the weathers so fine lately The Princess cairns,Balmoral.Think theres about 5 cairns erected by various phases of the Royal family since the 1800s.Only came across them by accident,but a fine wee wander if youve kids,they involve a bit of searching since some of the paths are pretty indistinct https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cairngorms/balmoral-cairns.shtml Hill of Newe,Glen Buchat Strathdon - An easy hill,about an hour up an hour down with great views of the surrounding valley and countryside.The quiet roads within Glen Buchat are a fine wander in themselves at this time of year with various wildlife pinging about,Glen Buchat castle nearby https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cairngorms/ben-newe.shtml One of the Balmoral cairns
  23. Latest adventure recently was the 4 Munro circuit called the Ring of Steall,up Glen Nevis,Fort William.A long day(10-12 hrs),with narrow ridges and bits of scrambling for added fun.John,my walking pal, recently did the Mont Blanc traverse,ie a high alpine route through the Alps,avoiding summits),and said this route was as close as it's felt to being an alpine route.Typical section below Route details here https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/fortwilliam/ringofsteall.shtml If that route doesnt float your boat,The walk up Glen Nevis(around an hours walk there,hour back) is worth a wander in itself,walking thru a rocky narrow gorge,ending at one of the best waterfalls in Scotland(Falls of Steall).Only downside is if you want to get right up and close to the waterfall,you have to cross this wire bridge to get to it.2 wires for hands,one wire for feet.Click to enlarge Failing that theres a shallow crossable stream to the right if yuove a pair of crocs or wellies
  24. First trip to Pittodrie was during his tenure.Gutted when he left. Doubt you'll get many opposition fans with a bad word to say about him.Always managed to maintain a bit of decorum about him,whatever results his various sides had. A true Gent
  25. Personally no,I think he prefers to be out of the limelight.Think his left back days are over though,or should be,but a very able defensive stand in for presumably modest money.Keep
