against Killie, possibly last game of the season, but not sure exactly what year it was and reckon Ebbe was still in charge

My eldest son is only a year younger than that. Can't even begin to comprehend how I would feel Always heartbreaking to hear of a parent losing a child

Copied from a.n.other site, but feel no shame in doing so as posted on here particularily this year A tragic loss of one of our own and so so young. Rest In Peace An Aberdeen man who fought his cancer with humour, dignity and bravery has been described as an “inspiration” to his family and the doctors who treated him. Stuart Lawtie died on Friday after a two-and-a-half-year battle with bowel cancer. The 27-year-old was a “well-known” face in the city, having worked in the Illicit Still, Frankensteins and Espionage before moving to Edinburgh to continue working in various pubs and clubs. He was later headhunted for Wedderburn Castle, in the Borders, where he was the events manager. Last night, Mr Lawtie’s father, Andrew, said he was a “tremendous spirit” who loved being around people, and that working in the hospitality industry had been his “forte”. The 61-year-old, who is one of Aberdeen’s deputy lieutenants, said: “Stuart was smashing, lovely, well-mannered and affable as a child. “He always had lots of friends because he was so easy to get on with. He was just an easy-going, friendly, outgoing guy who always had a smile on his face. He really enjoyed, and related, to people, and he loved the comradery of the hospitality industry.” Stuart was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2008 and had most of his treatment at the Western General in Edinburgh, until he was told last year his cancer was terminal. Yesterday, his consultant oncologist wrote to his parents and sister Gillian, 24, and described him as “selfless” and “inspirational”, which his mother Sheila, 51, said summed him up well. She said: “Stuart was marvellous, such a positive guy, and very brave throughout the difficult times of his illness.” Stuart was an avid Dons fan, after going to his first game at the age of eight, and often travelled up to Aberdeen to see his team play while living in Edinburgh with his girlfriend Maria. His father said last night: “Even Maria has a link with the Dons – she’s Swedish, she’s from Gothenburg. We often used to joke that he went looking for a girl from Gothenburg on purpose, to commemorate the Dons’ win in the European Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1983.” Last night, his parents, of Queens Den, Aberdeen, praised the club for its support during his illness. Mr Lawtie said: “The club has been so supportive and generous, and acknowledged that he was a true fan. “While he was ill they were great, helping him attend the games. “Sometimes the club gets bad publicity or criticism, but on this occasion they were fantastic, supporting and caring.” The club also organised for the former Hazlehead Academy pupil to be given a signed football shirt, which he proudly showed off on Christmas Day. A memorial gathering will be held for Stuart at his “spiritual home” – Pittodrie – on February 24, from noon, and those attending are being asked to wear something red.

If taken in comparison to Maryhill, then I'm sure you'd agree with my description of the lovely part of the coast where I stay Regarding Dalry Zico, I'll let you make up your own mind on it, but only time I ever spend there is whilst the train to Glasgow Central passes through it

Far aboots in Ayrshire are you visiting Zico The posh part where I am, or the minky part

Exactly

Must be an age thing

Not sure, either Cadger or Super Kev. Think they both got their first caps around 2002 ?

Fucking pathetic min.....call yourself a supporter

Might well relax the demand for tickets. Makes no odds to me as will be going anyway, but might put some folk off going

Well deserved, been pretty impressed by what I've seen of him so far. Will certainly do him no harm at all to get involved Thought it was a big mistake of Mr Brown to drop him for the cup semi and more than a little harsh on him. However he has his best years ahead of him and hopefully will enjoy plenty more occassions such as this with AFC

Missus, do you read all the books I read or something Pretty different to most of his other stuff isn't it ? Take it you've finished the millenium trilogy now ? Did you think that the outcome justified over 2000 pages of reading ?

Good to hear the viagra is now working

As they say Bobby....."the truth will out"

Bebo P.S Mizer, wasn't me that voted for Deek

Think you're been harsh in singling him out there. He was far from the only member of our team today that failed to do that. Particularily in the first half I lost count of the number of times I shouted at the tv as we failed to complete a simple straightforward pass to a team mate

Wouldn't say he was brilliant, but would have given him pass marks. Hugely disappointed with Blackman. Realise that he probably is better suited playing through the middle, but everything about him today said to me that he was in a right huff about playing out wide and looked totally ineffective and uninterested in being there.

Will need to play better than today to progress any further, but at least we're there.

That was fucking awful, no other way to describe it, but at the end of the day as others have said at least we're through to the next round and avoided one half of the bigot brothers. Rather win a game like in that fashion, than lose out to the odd goal in a nine goal thriller Ninety minutes away from another trip to Hampden

Amen brother

United have ridden their luck and this day had to come

you tell him mate

Hindsight is simple, but I'll see your and raise you a Read it and weep Mr Wenger
