Introductions

[Jarviescombover]

Alright, I'm Jarviescombover. I've been a member of DonsTalk since 2003 but I've not used it for a number of years.

 

I used to live in Aberdeen but have just moved to St Paul, Minnesota. It's a nice place to live, but pretty chilly in the winter (-40 odd).

 

My first Aberdeen game was at East End Park to watch the Dons Vs Dunfermline in the 91/92 season (I think) which finished in a 0-0 draw.

 

I play every Tuesday for a 6-aside team in Minneapolis. A couple of decent lads, some real baw bags though.

[Jarviescombover]

Unfortunately we play in the same team.

[mizer]

some real baw bags though.

 

Snap them then!

[Madbadteacher]

So?

[Jarviescombover]

Wasting members of your own team isn't a good winning strategy.

[Madbadteacher]

Suppose so.

 

But surely you play for the joy?

[Jarviescombover]

I do.

 

It's different here, almost at times a completely different game. From my experience the referees are much worse, to the extent that it's not even a contact sport. No slide tackles etc and that's outdoor.

[Madbadteacher]

You should introduce them to shinty!

[Jarviescombover]

Not a bad idea. But they'd probably wear all sorts of armour.

[Dandy_Don]

Jarvie, do you ever watch the ice hockey? I guess it would be the Minnesota Wild with you?

 

What made you move there?

 

[Jarviescombover]

The wife's from Detroit Lakes so she wanted to move closer to family. She's more of a baseball fan but I have been watching the Wild a bit. They've got a new coach this year, so expectations are pretty high. I guess the Wild's fanbase is pretty loyal, every game is sold out.

Aye aye, welcome aboard min.

[Well Red]

Well Red.

 

That Well Red? 

 

Aye.

 

From back in the day when Reekie was rimming Big Al, BobbyB was chibbing huns and listening to Neil Young, and Heed the Baw was getting advice on his nails and girly lunches from Bazig.  Dandy was about 12 and as yet unbowed by life.  RednProud was the board gimp, and Rach / Dolly got a bag on because receptionists didn't HAVE to answer the phone.

 

So.

 

What's changed, lads?

[Well Red]

Like, chief!

 

 

Christ, but the member list here takes me back.

 

Drewsome, Slim, Dave, glasgowsheep...  See mostly all the old bassas are admin and mods.  I'm RIGHT in the shecht when I'm spotted...

[Well Red]

'k, min - cheers. 

 

Though, in a funny way, it's good to see the "brown" option is still alive and well.

 

"Mizer", eh.

 

Noted.

Don't worry you're not my type

My word... how you doing?  Welcome back mate.

[Sandaldinho]

Alright i'm Sandaldinho

 

been a member of DT for a while and occasionally logged on to the old DT but never posted much until recently.

 

Live in Burntisland, Fife and play 7's once a week (spend most of my time kicking people rather than the ball), but Basketball was the sport i played.

 

Can't remember my first game, most likely against Dunfermline or Raith.

 

I play with expensive tools all day and have a Pub in my garden

[manc_don]

Welcome aboard the good ship! How many can the bar hold? Dt lock in is required i think

[Sandaldinho]

Dt lock in is required i think

[daytripping]

I'm daytripping fae Aberdeen, fit like folks.

 

I'm barred fae Donsmad where my username was "daytripping"

 

I'm 41 years of age and usually followed Aberdeen with the naughtier group of fans, long retired now but still go along to the occasional away day oot with them for the laugh.

 

Can be found in section Y or in my living room on match days, not as loyal as I once was, there was a time I went to every game home and away, now pick and choose.

 

Work in the oil industry with one of the bigger service companies.

 

I'm partial to a cheeky wee red of an evening and like Tennants on tap, I'm a smoker too, L & B, around 30 a day.
