  1. reckon he costs Aberdeen 5-10 points a season.

    Which, if we capatilised on Rangers awful performances under Le Guen, would have not just given us UEFA cup celebrations. He definitely cost us at least three games, which equates to nine points.

    It's not just as clear cut as saying we would have been in the C.L. had Langfield not been playing, but I'm sure a better keeper would have dealt with situations better and given us more of a chance.

    It says on RedWeb, in the first paragraph, that "he has not been put on the transfer list."

    However, in the last paragraph it says "the club will listen to offers for him."

    They're being too nice to him - just transfer list him and we can at least get rid of him.

    Why oh why did we not let him to Rangers??!!!!

    Alexanders a great shout, Alvin. Again, wages might be the stumbling block.

  2. This has really pissed me off

    Calderwood has, practically overnight, gone from saying Langfield is, beyond doubt

    "The second best 'keeper in Scotland after Craig Gordon"

    and

    "Deserving of a place in the Scotland team"

    and

    "I expect him to sign a new contract here shortly," he said. "I'm delighted because he's been great."

    In addition, whilst everyone with sight has been appalled by The Clanger's inability to distribute the ball with a modicum of success and his costly mistakes, Jimmy backed him 100% and turned on anyone who criticised him.

    BUT NOW, beacuse Clanger had a pished go at him our leader is now saying:

    "Dons boss Jimmy Calderwood told BBC Sport: "He slipped up two or three times at the end of the season.

    "The third one was maybe just a little bit over the top."

    Now why did it this incident for Jimmy to admit he "slipped up" at the end of the season? He's still not telling the full story as his mistakes cost us dearly throughout the whole campaign, but to me this just shows Jimmy is a liar and he has been covering up for him all season. From what I've heard, he knows he bought a donkey in Derek Soutar so he had no choice but to stick with Clanger and would never criticise him no matter how shocking he played. It seems to make sense now.

    It seems to me like another classic Calderwood. Don't agree with him and you're out. Exactly what happened to Esson. What is it with him and 'keepers?

    Can you imagine Soutar playing in Europe when he played ONE first team game last season (in the cup) and had no pitch time in the league at all? Brilliant, eh?

    Willie & Jimmy had better get moving and get another keeper in. Like they should have during the season when Clangfield was letting the entire team down. I can't believe it's had to come to this.

  3. Pretty certain, I think its from a soap, maybe a River City or some such shite

    I think it is one of the younger tarts who was in River City - entered the Eurovision heats with her pal from the show under the banner of "City Chix" I think. (I've got a great memory for shite.) I may be wrong, but it definitely could be her.

  4. It did exist before Lovejoy. But it was shit.

    He made it the show it is now.

    I'll give it a go next season but I'm nae confident. You never know, though, they may pull an ace presenter out of the bag, so let's wait and see.

    He's doing Fifth Gear now I think.

  5. I'd rather they settled into to making decent mature pop than made embarassing attempts at reliving their glory days. Plus Send Away the Tigers is lyrically worse, but that's only to be expected as Nicky has been on a slippery slope for a long time now.

    There's nothing embarrasing about it. Why are they reliving? Because it's back to guitars? It's not as if Nick's writing about culture, alienation, boredom and despair.... It's a new album with the usual overblown lyrics, but it hits the spot for me. And it's infinitely better to hear Jimmy Dean spitting out solos and raising his voice as opposed to processed drumbeats and polished synths. The music on Lifeblood is turgid, uninspiring and comes over like a poor New Order pastiche. The lyrics are appaling, too, 1985 excluded (one of my all time favourite Manics songs and indeed lyrics.) I mean, I Live To Fall Asleep? Surely one of the worst songs ever recorded. The Love of Richard Nixon is clumsier than the man who wrote it. Cardiff Afterlife - "Makes no sense at all?" Aye, the whole bloody song makes no sense and ruins the sentiment. Empty Souls - "Collapsing like the Twin Towers - Falling down like April showers" Awful. I'm picking bits out, but I just don't get it.

    I for one can't wait for the gig(s) - I'm heading down to Edinburgh the day after they are up here - and hearing the new material live. Everyone else's loss if they don't like the new stuff.

    "Oh good god I feel like a liberal."

  6. My parents have bought a new telly and are selling their old setup.

    It's a silver 28" widescreen Samsung television -it's nae an LCD or plasma - rather one of the last "flat screen" tubed televisions which came on the market which is actually still under guarantee and is in pretty much mint condition. It comes with it's own stand (also silver), a matching DVD player (nae a bad DVD player as well) and a matching VHS recorder. There's also a freeview box (I'm sure it's a Thompson) that's also silver.

    They are looking for 175.

    It's all in pretty much brand new condition. They live in Dyce but if any of you Forum Buddies want it who don't have transport I could pick it up and drop it off with you in town.

    Would be ideal for students or indeed anyone looking for a cheap, reliable telly complete with DVD, video and freeview.

    PM me if you're interested.

    Cheers,

    Marsh.

  7. oops jist realised i heard them before- one of "those" scottish media bands, affy gash and. pish.

    goodnight.

    Bit harsh. Presumably this was a drunken rambling?

    I hope you do release the album, Iain. Always a great live act so would be good to have something on CD or download. Keep us updated.

    P.S. Kenny is the wee guy with the big barnet, isn't he? Talented guitarist I always thought.

  8. A battling, passionate performance by Dunfermline, but I'm afraid the following statistic tells you all you need to know about the game:

    Shots on Target:

    Celtic 3

    Dunfermline 0

    Celtic were shite but Venegoor missed an open goal in the first half and I thought Miller should have scored. But he's so pish just now I'm glad he's injured as maybe for once a player who deserves to be there will get the Scotland gig up front. But I digress....

    Crawful has gone beyond the realms of bad . A sorry sight.

    Lovely to see Lennon getting hooked on his swansong. May his career go from bad to worse.

    And is it just me or if Paul hartley wasn't "Paul Hartley" wouldn't he be currently warming the bench? Another player who has been woeful for club but will walk straight into the Scotland team.

    And we avoid a Euro qualifier because of this, so happy days for the Dons.

    And Dougie Donnelly had an ace, impassioned speech along the lines of "let's hope this Scottish Cup is one to remember after the disappointment of the F.A. Cup and the Champions League final." He then proceded to call Stephen Kenny Gerard Kenny

  9. I know from personal experience though that if you live in one of the "better" postcodes, you wouldn't have to wait a few days for a copper to turn up.

    I second that as being grade "A" pish.

    And if it's a "oh, but this happened to me story" forget it.

    What's the dividing line for a "better" postcode? Maybe we could draw up a map and you, from your personal experience, could give a rough estimation of "turning up times" for the coppers in any given zone of the Aberdeen area.

    I'm sorry, but that sort of "Evening Express" mentality really gets on my tits.

  10. Course it was Dez. Greg Ginn's a normal looking skinny bloke. Dez looks like Alice Coopers's younger brother.

    Lemon Tree gig was awesome. Danzig's not a Misfit any more. get used to it. Jerry Only can't sing worth a fuck - everyone knows that. That aside I just find it absolutely thrilling to see some 100mph hardcore punk being thrown at you from some proper legends. 1 and a half minutes songs. It's brilliant. I suppose you just need to accept the fact that seeing The Misfits nowadays is a completley different proposition. You're wasting your time with this otherwise. In any case the non - Danzing Forbidden Zone, American Psycho and Project 1950 stuff is brilliant live.

    I saw them last year at Edinburgh Liquid Rooms and they were brilliant. ROBO was drumming and was shit hot. They really tanned the back catalogue.

    On honeymoon this time last year I was in the Hard Rock cafe at Universal Studios and the clerk had a big fiend skull tat. I looked on approvingly and he bigged up my Karloff shirt. We got talking and he told me that Danzig played there a few weeks earlier with Doyle and did a full hours's worth of Misfits songs. He said it was as close to the real thing as you can get and just laughed when I said Jerry was at the Lemon Tree with Marky and Dez. I was expecting Danzig to play some shows with this line - up but obviously nothing's happened. That would be immense, though!

  11. it doesn't looki natural on Barry Nic.

    Yeah, that's because they don't do players kits in "young adult" sizes :up:

    The third kit is awful to me. Reminds me of Livvi far too much to be enjoyable and the original black & gold shirt was proper stripes, nae "quarted" like this. And the shorts look like proper old school ref shorts.

    Adding a white collar and cuffs to the home kit does not warrant another 40 bucks, I'm afraid. I mean, the fact they've returned to the proper AFC red and nae used a shade of cherry on one half of the strip this time is just standard - it should never have changed. The collar does look a bit neither here nor there.

    I'm always cynical about this sort of thing - I mean where's the new away kit? Why should those who bought it get a bonus season out of it? Or am I missing something?

    Anyway, it's only a strip. they could play in red bin liners and I wouldn't care if they played like they did on Sunday!

    And christ sake, is it a year since we last talked about this! How time flies!

  12. The Thingy...

    "Monkey Puzzle Pavillion is a temporary buiilding by Architect Jonathon Woolf, commisioned specifically for the festival. Acting as the Aberdeen Festival information point, Monkey Puzzle Pavillion is the hot spot to get Six Cities Design Festival information, take part in Claystation, hear the latest on design or relax and take in a film"

    That sounds like a Tom Moore description, doesn't it, Jim!!!! "Relax and take in a film!" Oh aye!

    I noticed it was sympathetic to La Lombardo's hoarding as well!!! Brilliant!

  13. Binary watch awesome! I love binary! My friend has a binary clock and now I can read it pretty quickly. I want a hex watch. It could say the time in seconds, between 0 and 86399... or maybe it would be easier to have --:--:-- after all... 16:13:2A... aw yess that would kick ass, everyone would think the LCD was broken and my watch was just shit.

    This watch probably exists.

    !!!!!!!!

    Off I go to seek it.

    Seek some help instead......
