Tickets on sale for the Raith cup game next month. Season ticket holders have until Jan 6th, to reserve their seat. £20 adult. £15 under 21, £10 under 18 and £5 for under 12s. Hopefully get a decent crowd.

Looking forward to this one. Love a game against the Jutes. Will Jimmy be bold and start Bilalovic and Kjarten? Gyamfi in for Lobban, will likely be the only change. Need both a win and a big performance in this one, after the let downs of Prague and Parkhead.

Heard that too, both last season. One due to an issue between players, and the other during our winless run. It must also be difficult for him being here, while his Wife and kids are in Sweden. That type of thing rarely works out well. I like they guy a lot and want him to succeed, but I doubt it will. We haven't progressed much on the field in his time with us, I'd actually say we've regressed as a team under him. The cup win bought him a hell of a lot of credit, and rightly so and is keeping him in a job. I have little optimism about the penguin kidnapper being the person that makes it all click under Thelin. Hopefully it does though, as we all want a successful team on the park.

Was in seeing ABBA Mania at the Music Hall. A very good night was had. Brought back a lot of happy memories of my very young self, playing my Sister's ABBA singles on the Stereogram when I was little. Scratched a few of them too. I have a very broad musical taste, Electronic music is by far my favourite, but have always had a big weakness for ABBA.

That is mental to read. Had never heard of the guy before, but after reading what you have written, my estimation of him dipped a good bit. I still can't get the Gorbalesque quote out of my head. An absolute belter. Caisdykes Drive was actually the first place my folks stayed, before moving onto Torry, due to them having had a third kid.

An email on Friday from the club, asking if we weren't at the game we could sell our season tickets, through them. First time that has happened this season, so must assume it is near a sell out.

You being serious here? I just thought the Gorbals comparison was such shyte. They would have been new flats when he was born. Heating and indoor toilets for starters. Aberdeen has some rough places, I stay in one of them and nothing like what the Gorbals was. Nothing at all. Telling folk he came from Ferryhill, instead of Kincorth was also poor form.

It's difficult to muster up much enthusiasm playing them at Parkhead and didn't waste my time following it today. Doesn't sound like I missed much.

Today's the day for a point, hopefully three. Better than any present under the tree. I've just got a fancy. That we'll see off Nancy. And leave us Dandies full of glee

Neil Diamond - Red Red Wine

Game day. Three points would make a nice early Xmas present. COYR

Traffic - Hole In My Shoe

Not what I am listening to, but more what I just read and about music. Aberdeen, or Kincorth to be more precise, actually has a celebrated song writer. Graham Edwards, from Kincorth, had written hits fir Avril Levine, Britney Spears and Christina Aguiela, amongst others. Article about him on the P&J website and nice to hear of another musuc related success from the city. A belter of a line in the article. "Graham was born in 1959 and brought up in the cold Gorbal-esque tenements of Caisdykes Drive, Kincorth."

Franz Ferdinand - The Dark of the Matinee

Play him in a position that suits him then. Anything else is throwing him and the team under the bus, especially, even more so when nothing like match fit. I suspect if he is refusing to sit on our bench, then he is already gone and no point in having him in our squad let alone the team.

Maybe Nilsen wrote JT a really ace poem on the plane back and will find himself back in contention for Sunday, to replace Shinnie. Joking aside, nothing should surprise us about a Thelin team.

Vampire Weekend - Harmony Hall

Just read on the BBC that Sheffield Wednesday, should have a buyer in the next few days... One of the two likely buyers, is Mike Ashley, Sports Direct and ex Newcastle owner. Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire.

James - Come Home

I couldn't agree more with the points you make. What Thelin has done to unite the fanbase, is frustrate the hell out of us. The players must equally feel the frustration too. I am sure it will all become clearer when we reach the end of this three year 'project'.

We likely have a chance on Sunday, but we have a horrendous record at Parkhead, truly horrendous. Positives are that we can grind out wins and Celtic are in poor form. Negative is the usual we shit the bed when playing them. Fair play to the folks going to this and I hope you all get a day to remember down their.

To take a player, with an alleged poor attitude, in from being out in the cold, then not play him correctly, reflects more badly on the manager rather than the player. He (Clarkson) might be a petulant dick, who wants out of the club, but last night was more on Thelin than Clarkson.

Buddy Guy - Meet Me In Chicago

If he refuses to sit on the bench, as rumoured, then I'd drive him down the road myself. I like the loon, but if he doesn't want to be here and not being professional about it, then cheerio.

I know it was Aberdeen, but I couldn't have cared any less about tonight and got exactly what I expected, nothing. I hope those over in Prague had a great time, barring the football. It's a great place. Thank goodness it is all over and we get back to winning ways at Parkhead on Sunday.
