  1. I've accidentally bought 2 sets of tickets so got 2 spare. North Stand Upper. who needs?
  2. no blame here for Fraser. He could get injured badly at anytime, it's his chosen career remember, for him his family, his future family he must sign for the best contract he's offered. The system is wrong here not the player. The Dons need to gamble on a few long contracts before players make it big

    NFL

    the NFL is class. Watching red zone coverage on Sky just adds to the quality.
  4. Just finished 'Tony Dungy: A Quiet Strength' A pretty inspirational guy who survived and won in the NFL despite being quiet and laid back. 1st black coach to win the NFL seemingly never shouted at anyone in his life, good story if a little thick on religious rhetoric. Also just finished Skag Boys - Irvine Welsh, which i thought was pretty decent but don't beleive it was 'just lying around' and had been written much more recently. Read the latest Stuart Macbride but wasn't overly impressed
  5. nice guy, was heidy at St Machar back in the day, and considerably increased the talent on the teachers football team, still couldn't beat the pupils mind you!! Good luck

    Films

    just watched Down Terrace, it's good, pretty funny british gangster film. also watched The Chaser on Film4 and other than the very harrowing chisel through some skulls it was watchable for a Korean thriller.
  7. i've seen a few. Reggie Miller vs the Knicks was excellent, Without Bias was decent, wasn't overly impressed with the U or Jimmy the Greek, Can't recall any others, i did see the feature length story about Vlade Divac et al the Yugoslavian split, which was excellent
  8. still after 2 months - Big Boi - Son of Dusty Chico

    Celeb Deaths

    yeh it was decent, nice production and suprisingly they made the most of the park/trees for good acoustics. you'll need the drink to get you through the gang rape/mutilation scenes though

    Summer

    Especially as the start time has been moved back to 11am this year to accommodate the half marathon - lots of dehydrated runners i think!!
  13. Dave Matthews band at SECC LCD Soundsystem at barras Alabama 3 at academy Gogol Bordello at academy should be good
  14. read the article - seems more interested in getting fit than saying - i'll play for the dons. bit of a non story
  15. You keep referring to 'our'? Who is this 'our'? The UK is so vastly different that you can't really pigeon hole 'our own standards' which is a very Daily Mail-esqe phrase. Again apologising has nothing to do with beliefs more to do with PR companies making a mint from wishing to appear politically correct. Also the wording in your posts makes it seem like you can only see one big group of burqa wearing zealots intent on spreading the word of Mohammed! Whereas the reality is the majority of Muslims etc live quietly enjoying their 'own' country - the UK
  16. Yeh pretty much instant if you do it via the red button. ESPN has been pretty decent so far but quite strange in that Sky Sports has copied a lot from ESPN and other american stations shows like Monday Night Football, Super Sundays etc and the pre/post match graphics and production of the shows and yet ESPN are trying to copy Sky Sports. Really enjoyed seeing Mowbray and Caldwell squirm while being asked about the Mcgeady diving incident while at the same time being showing footage of it! good stuff
  17. arctic monkeys - humbug pretty damn good, especially the tracks with josh homme playin geetar
  18. had a pretty good weekend at T. Didn't see the mad mental neds everyone talks about. Saw some excellent music, beardyman, TV on the Radio (who were immense) and blur were highlights, edwin collins was surreal and the specials were a good laugh. Didn't think the camping was too bad though glad i had a house in Kinross to go home to after.
  19. Members Only, the current champions, are undecided on whether we are in a position to defend the trophy - actually i'm unsure if we're in a position to return the trophy at all
  20. miller for me - has been a touch of class I looked at is as such, do we have a chance of beating the rest of the top six with miller - yes high, without -no, much less Do we have a chance of beating the rest of the top 6 with Kerr - yes possibly, without - yes .......with Langfield - yes, without - yes
  21. Bobby Clark? Doing a good job at Notre Dame University and an absolute legend when we met him out there.
  22. which bitch - the view Really enjoying this especially double doubloon
  23. i've totally changed my view on this - Jimmy and several players must go now. Wins against Alloa, East Fife, Dunfermilne and Falkirk would have given us european football! 4 games against dross No other organisation in the world would put up with such mediocrity. I think i was trying to make the pain of losing easier on myself - but it hasn't worked - i love the cups!
  24. Couldn't bring myself to post last night after so reflection (and watching the game again) i have realised - How much we rely on Lee Miller, i thought he was having a good year but didn't realise just how much of a hole there was without him. I genuinely don't blame the players for poor passing, aluko for that finish etc etc - it was the pitch, sky showed that the ball bobbled every time someone went to kick the ball, shocking - simply unable to play the football needed to get aluko/maguire/smith/mackie into the game. What's not acceptable was Jimmy not realising this and keeping our only other target man (wright) on the bench until 15mins to go. Why take off maguire/aluko? Yeh they weren't playing particularly well but how many others were? At home with half hour left i'd expect a defender or one of the 2 defensive midfielders to be sacrificed not guys who can turn a game regardless of how poor they may have played. How little i care about the cup! Yeh its'a good day out but tbh we put far too much onus on it, these days it's pretty worthless other than another way into europe. Can someone tell me the stastics from those entered into Europe via the cup in the last 5/10 yrs and their records in europe? Whether we want a change, deem a change required, expect a change or demand a change - it can't happen to the end of the season so we have to get behind the management and players to try get into to europe to give the incoming management team a decent wedge to rebuild.
