    He's a joke figure down South, a John Hughes. However, because we're in pathetic thrall to everything English fitba, he's massive celebrity news up here, it's cringey as fuck. He's deemed old school and obnoxious. There's a lot not to like about the guy. I specifically don't like the fact that he goes against everything we strategised (supposedly) for the last three years and is a huge step backwards in that regard, possibly even risking alienating players and staff that we might want here next year. However, I realised that with the consultant bollocks, our strategy wasn't actually a strategy at all, simply a bunch of words on a presentation, so I don't think Warnock will be upsetting much. I liked his opening interview and his thoughts about the game. I wasn't particularly enamoured by the time it took to make changes and the changes made against the Hun. I can completely see why people don't like him, but I'm happy enough for the short time that remains. I find his appointment shows a complete lack of competence by our board. It reminds me of the scene in Elf (the overplayed Christmas film) where the publisher asks his crack team of writers for new ideas and they suggest hiring another writer, who'll have better ideas. That is, of course, nothing to do with Warnock.

    Oh just fuck off and support your team!

    Would love to see us win the cup but not sure how a lower league joker from England who’s never won the cup in his career is going to suddenly do that. 
     

    With Tlg on this quicker this season is over and Warnock fucks off back to England with a pile of our money the better. 

    We get the message, now give it a fucking rest and support your team!

    Just watched the pre match presser.  The first few questions he came across as a bit senile and just waffled bland platitudes. 

    As depressing as this is to say given what is still up for grabs, right now I just want this season to be over.  

     

    I don’t. I want to win a cup!

  4. Fuck me! A bunch of pessimistic, psychiatrists and mind readers on here.

    Am I delighted by NW, no.

    Do I think it’s a publicity exercise or puss take, no.

    Do I think Warnock will take it seriously, yes.

    Do I think he’ll pick our best team (once he gets a chance to figure that out) yes.

    Do I think he has the capability to have a plan B, C, or D during games, yes.

     

    He’s a better chance for us finishing higher up the league than Barry, and if he puts his boot up Cormack’s arse (nothing to lose, no need to be a yes man) maybe that’s the best part of this appointment.

    I trust him to be professional (regardless of how he presents to the weejia) and do his best with us.

     

    Not a happy clapper by any means, but I’m not pissing in my nappy either!

    Sorry to break it to you OD but we're 9th now.

    Motherwell have moved above us 

    So useless Barry fucking Robson was correct. 8th was not a true reflection of this team, equal second bottom is!

    FFS there’s a team in there but no spirit or soul.

  6. Anyone else on here remember shopping in Robert Rae’s or the Rubber Shop?

    My auntie Margaret used to work in Isaac Benzies, another blast from the past, and my uncle George was butcher (possibly co-owner) at Lyon’s in George St.

    Yep, that's right. Thank god for your missionary work, the world is a much safer place these days.

    On the left if you're going from art gallery to marischal college. I assumed "going uphill form George Street" meant that direction. Given that the end of George Street is the bon accord centre, it's kind of in a dip, so uphill could refer to marischal college direction or art gallery direction. We'll let @Madbadteacher off for his inconcise description, given his last memories were of radars, which closed about thirty years ago. 

    If you go from George St to Marishal College that’s Upperkirkgate, no inconsistency here.

  8. A thread about Radars appeared on my FB today. Great place to eat as a student in the 1980’s.

    Got me thinking, there was a place on Schoolhill, probably in the late 1980’s or 90’s that I used to love getting a burger in, either chili or barbecue. Anyone else recall this?

    Right hand side going uphill from George St. Can’t remember what it was called, anyone’s able to help?
