Finished it last night, thought it was really good and slightly better than Shearer's book. Particularly enjoyed all the stuff about his relationship with Fergie. There's a few amusing stories, and there's lots of match detail which is good. His retelling of the end to his playing career is very sad. There's a great bit at the back where they've got the likes of SAF, Black, Stark, McLeish, McAvennie to write some comments about Frank. Also included are some comments from players he played against such as Hegarty and Narey. It doesn't sound like he'll be hanging about in Aberdeen for too long - he has his heart set on living in Brazil with his Brazilian wife. One of the top three strikers I've ever seen play for the Dons.

That's neigh funny CtS. Almost forgot there was a game tonight. First of a few home games on the trot. A must win!

Torres has been dreadful again tonight.

I've not had any problems.

Finished 4-2

I've heard Livi are 2-1 up?

Phil Thompson has that effect on a lot of people.

Agreed, however I think it seemed the only option as they need to keep the running track IMHO, and without the help of a football team it would turn into a white elephant and only used for major athletics championships. I'm not sure how popular it is with Hammers fans.

Chris Addison?

Cared enough to open the thread.

I was really disappointed with that film, especially given the cast. Just a bit too silly for me.

I don't suppose if anyone has seen a pre-sale for Bill Bailey at the AECC? http://www.aecc.co.uk/billbailey.aspx EDIT: Pre-sale if anyone cares: https://www.ticketzonebooking.co.uk/index.cfm?TICKETZONE_219247_60939360&action=shop.eventVenues&int_EventID=410&bit_SignOn=0&str_EventAddOn=&CFID=219247&CFTOKEN=60939360

Not far from the half way line.

John Hurt is a superb narrator for it, but that scene with the toasted tarantulas was tough to watch!

Aye that's right. Typical Livingston - cheating bastards!

I read a few folk saying this book was pish? Been pretty decent so far. I had no idea he was blinded for a couple of months when he was a teenager. Not reached the Dons years yet but I'm definitely enjoying it. Far more match detail than Big Dunc's book.

Playing Livingston this Sunday, 1.30pm - Balgownie Playing Fields.

Holy shit. Only 5,636 there!

BBC News Ticker reporting that Gary Moore has died. RIP.

Helluva goal to put the Huns 1-0 up. Looked to me like Diouf was getting coins thrown at him while taking a corner.
