    Empire

    Not seen Empire, is it meant to be worth a watch?
  2. Highlights: Looks like a decent watch! Logan was very unlucky with his effort and good to see both McLean and McGinn fizzing about! Decent crowd too by the looks of it too
  3. The way the season has panned out, anything is possible. We might even give someone a doing. Fair play to Dundeh though, rallied and took Killie out of the equation.
  4. That's the first time I've seen someone say something positive about him in ages, and I'm very glad to see it. He's clearly a skilful player and you're right, a decade ago he would have been something else. Good to read anyway . will he stick around beyond the summer and take up a coaching role? Certainly think we need a winner amongst the coaching staff, could do the squad no harm whatsoever Edit: Having watched the highlights, there were clear plays which were reminiscent of Robson of old, shame about the shot
  5. Well, it worked! 3 points, happy days. Decent game?
  6. Is it worth a watch? Jim Murphy seems hell bent on committing political suicide these days, pretty much sums up Labour in Scotland though. Noticed this today, did amuse me http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/photo-fail-nigel-farage-ukip-5478349 Going round with Joey Essex, pretty much sums up UKIP.
  7. Ha, welcome aboard (finally ). We have a few Fifers on board, one in particular in the guise of Topcorner (par [sic]), his dad's a don and as is he. I'm sure you'll kid will see the light No reason why he can't have a soft spot for Raith mind - just to be diplomatic!
  8. You're probably right, but I suppose I was seeing it from the point of view that it was a team with less to play for than us. They're not getting relegated and we still need to tie up second place. We shouldn't be changing the system to accommodate though, it reminds me of something once said...footballers are stupid, just stick with 4-4-2 and they'll know what they're doing.
  9. From the EE. http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/polopoly_fs/1.861530.1428488312!/image/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/box_620/image.jpg[/img] We really need to get 3 points tonight, especially since they're on a longer no win sequence than us. Need to get right to them from the get go. I really hope he doesn't play flood, have not been convinced by him since he returned from injury.

    Films

    Watched St. Vincent with Bill Murray last night, fairly amusing and a few good laugh out loud moments. One to watch with the Mrs, thats for sure.
  11. Rugby town anyway I do wonder what will become of Mackay though, seemed like a bit of a last chance saloon after bond-gate
  12. http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/sport/football/the-dons/dons-forced-to-pull-plug-on-fans-display-at-pittodrie-1.860793 Guess not.
  13. The design of it is another debate all together. Wasn't happy with it the first time round and having looked at it again, I realise how bog standard it actually is.
  14. Ha ha, given some of the timings of your posts, he has a point he's only joking Besides, surely you can take a bit of abuse from a coldplay fan lol
  15. I've always just scrolled with my mouse whilst holding shift. Or ctrl +. I'm sure one of our geeky boffins (top corner) will help you out. Also, feel free to swear all you like. No word blocks on here though if you use that word a lot, you may have Hebrew to deal with, it's not her favourite word
  16. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32211094 :o Didn't think he had the mental capacity to be a footballer, let along a manager.
  17. That's what I thought Looks like St. Mirren are down, barring a complete arse collapse by SS Motherwell. Lost 5-0 away to them tonight and a cracking result for County, 1-0 at home to the farmers! Hadn't realised they were on a run of 7 wins in 8 games!
  18. Bingo, so in Scotland you still go to the local council's website, so here you are: http://planning.aberdeencity.gov.uk/docs/planningdocuments.asp?appnumber=101299 - contains all the drawings, just scroll down the page a wee bit.
  19. Been reading A colder War by Charles Cumming, a great read so far
  20. Were plans ever released? I don't recall them, but if there are any, they will be on the planning portal. Will have wee dig around and see what I can find. Have already looked on the architects (Holmes Miller Partnership) and they only have the visuals up. Edit: Hadn't realised that the Planning Portal didn't cover Scotland http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/nmsruntime/saveasdialog.asp?lID=50452&sID=14394 - on Page 16 of this ACC document you can see the ground floor plan. Tom, what is the Scottish equivalent?
  21. I find this very hard to believe given as you rightly say of his love of spouting shite on twitter. I doubt very much he would have kept it schtum as i still followed him until recently and he certainly piped up about the latest incidemt. Hope he's wrong but I do find it hard to believe.

    Fazzat?

    Edit: Big Al in his youth?
  23. Good to see Russian claims that its football isn't racist proved correct http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32207331 Another country not worthy of getting the tournament. Should be banned from Europe.
  24. Thats on the assumption that we'd win. You might well be right but at that stage it really is luck of the draw.
  25. Agreed. It's not looking good. Anyone see this red card over the weekend? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGMv-Qfg4vA
