  1. Would have staked my house on it...... Howkers or ICT if we get through
  2. Fair enough
  3. Prunty's goals prior to joining us were for the howker's reserves were they not
  4. Might just be that McAllister has found his level. Big step up to play SPL football from the level he is at presently. He might also be happy with the level he is playing at given the fact he has a full time job also. We might be better off trying to bring through the likes of Paton, Magennis or Megginson
  5. Is correct......
  6. Just finished "Random" which was a debut novel by Craig Robertson set in the Weeg. Certainly won't be leaving my business card again in one of these fish bowl free draws for a free meal after reading this. If you like Mark Billingham then give it a go. Just started on "American Devil" by Oliver Stark
  7. Can't go on Saturday now. My mate has my ticket which is now available. Know the game isn't a sell out but if anyone is interested PM me. You'd be able pay and pick it up outside pre match.
  8. In/Oot : Out (had a ticket but have had to flog it) Pre-match: Recovering from operation Game: Watching it at home without any alcohol Post-match: Desperate for a few beers Prediction: Helen 1 AFC 3
  9. Reading that fair takes me back. Was fortunate enough to be at both games. Had forgotten just how good a team Liverpool had back then. Remember queuing out all night at Pittodrie for tickets for the home leg, feeling deflated when they took the lead after five minutes into first leg of the tie, travelling to Liverpool by train, not being allowed into pubs in Liverpool, escorted to and from the ground by Merseyside's finest and sent back on that train to arrive home about 5am the next day. The atmosphere was something special at Anfield and we initially held our own against them, Dingus through one on one with Clemence to square the tie and missing. It all went down hill fairly quickly after that.
  10. In/oot: Out Pre Match: Working Match: Working Post Match: Bed Prediction: 1-1
  11. Aye good to catch up on Sat BB. I obviously brought the boys luck given that you were 2-0 down before I got there and went on to dominate the remainder of the game. On the basis of what I saw, I agree you were unlucky not to take something from the game. Dirty bastards think best sums up the opposition however we're not all like that from Troon. All the best with the remainder of the season
  12. And quite right, my pension is under threat like everyone elses and needs a boost
  13. Couldn't have put it any better myself. Bring it on I say
  14. http://www.troonifc.co.uk/ Learnt something new here Bobby. I didn't even know they existed
  15. Will you confirm please Bobby, will try and get along for part of it at least. Who you playing against ?
  16. Portland or Hosiery Park and what time ?

  19. Should have known that......I was there Wasn't that the game with the chant of "I'd rather be a brush than a combe" to a certain United keeper
  20. against Killie, possibly last game of the season, but not sure exactly what year it was and reckon Ebbe was still in charge
  21. 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
  22. 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.
  23. 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
  24. Far aboots in Ayrshire are you visiting Zico The posh part where I am, or the minky part
