Tyrant

Is it a coincidence that there was a new contract agreed the very same day there was all the speculation? Doesn't matter now. Sir Deek has signed up and we will have him for the foreseeable future. :thumbsup: I dare say he'll end up there some day. But today is not that day.

I'd rather have you in our back for than Agent Foster. Don not, repeat, not return to base Agent Foster. Self destruct in 5.. 4.. 3..

No but he'd have known that the minute he learned that we were interested.

I guess it's to give us a warm up against a less shit team to warm us up properly for Europe.

Hearing the Paul Quinn has changed his mind about joining us. Not sure what the sauce is but I'm sure we can find an adequate replacement so I'm meh on this one.

Dusty's prime was a bit before my time but he appeared a fair bit recently. He was on just a few weeks ago appearing in storylines with his sons.

Only that he missed all of last season with injury.

Indeed. But I'm just glad that we can now move on from the idea of this uninspiring player.

Really good article about the goalkeeping problem at AFC. I can't copy and paste it because it's disabled so just click on the link. Find it hard to disagree with a single word tbh be honest. http://www.scotzine.com/2015/06/jamie-langfield-is-no-longer-an-asset-for-title-challenging-aberdeen/

I'd be amazed if anything credible has been left in tact rather than being shredded/deleted/burnt. They're all had a 2 week head start.

Not remotely fussed about this guy.

Where/When? Everyone knows Coldplay are a superb live act. Even folk that don't like them admit it. :wave:

For FFS Sake Stewart!!

It's been a long time Sharpie, min! Fit like?

I just won't go to a theme park during school holidays. I've been to Florida twice, both times in September and the American and British kids were at school and there were next to no queues at any rides. It was pretty awesome. And the roller coasters were world class. The Hulk is one of my favourites. But the best park for roller coasters is Busch Gardens. Sheikra was my favourite coaster. There's an old style wooden one there too. They jolt you about something chronic and aren't usually very fast/high/intense. Also being a tall chap the restraints can be tight. My shoulders get most of the punishment on newer coasters and my knees on older lap bar style ones. Although generally amazing rides and the day we were there zero queues. If I was there during busier periods I always said I'd pay extra for fast passes. We all know the UK parks just don't compare but Alton Towers seemed to be trying to make a decent fist of it. I think there are a few new rides since the last time I was there. Smiler being the newest one. I've never bungeed or jumped out a plane. I think I'd like to. But I dare say it's a hell of a lot more scary than even the most intense theme park attraction.

That's a releif. I was worried for a while there that we might have two full backs at the club!

Following on from the news from last week that a roller coaster crashed it's been published today that one of the people on the ride has lost one of her legs. By all accounts there another 3 or 4 folk that are in a bad way as a result. It's horrendous news like. Despite being a veteran at the age of 30 now I still absolutely love roller coasters. The bigger the better (aye teehee). I can't remember the last time there was a theme park incident this bad in the west. Apparently poor building practices makes this almost a fairly common occurrence in places like China? Not sure how true that actually is. But I always rationalised that the build quality in places like the US and the UK would be good and testing procedures thorough. I know that you can never guarantee that things won't go wrong no matter how much testing you do but the chances must be really remote. I know they still are but that doesn't help these poor fuckers with mangled legs. Although I dare say the compo that they'll undoubtedly get will be in the 7 figures at least (especially the girl who's lost a leg) so at least she won't have to worry about paying the bills in later life. Any roller coaster or theme park fans here? Does this put you off riding? I haven't been to Alton Towers since 2000 and I haven't been to Thorpe Park since 2010 but a mate and I were thinking of going (to the former) later on in the year as we're down in the region for something else anyway. These UK parks aren't in the same league as their American counterparts. (Sporting events and theme parks - two things that America has spot on!) But I don't think this would put me off given how remote the chances of accidents are.

Nae as good as Coldplay were on the 4 occasions that I've seen them. The last time was 3 long years ago. Surely there's another tour in the pipeline soon! Fingers crossed, lads. :thumbsup:

Speaking of barbecues.. where the fuck is Dave_Min, min? Probably at a barbecue.

It's a shame that Murray couldn't keep up the level he showed at the resumption of play on Saturday. He'd have won the whole tournament had he continued playing like that. I have to say I was happy to see Wawrinka win it. Not sure if it was partly down to Novak getting taken to 5 sets or if that's maybe unfair on the great form that Stan was showing.

I wouldn't have a problem with England hosting it. I don't really care who hosts it. I'd just like it to be a country that either has the infrastructure in place or can afford the upgrades required. The less building contracts being handed out for new stadia purposes (South Africa and Brazil) the less chance of kick backs changing hands as a result.

Forgot it was on tbh be honest. Watched about 10 minutes and decided to watch fucking Winter Cottage with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall after that.

Did I see that we've got some big Brazilian goalkeeper on trial? Or have I dreamt that up? Sure I saw pictures on social media? ???

Just me that's glad of the break? I couldn't stomach a World Cup right now what with the FIFA antics and with both my nationalities being shite. So I'm happy to have my Saturdays back for the time being.
