  1. Single fares are often a joke- in the Glasgow area returns can be the same price. When I head up to Aberdeen, the advance fares are usually good value but can be hard to get at short notice. Usually I end up having to buy a bizarre combination of 3 tickets usually Glasgow to Perth then Perth to Montrose and Montrose to Stonehaven to save £10.
  2. The fact you can renew cheaper than what you had is pretty decent. My insurance went up a couple hundred this year and went on the comparison sites to find a better deal only for everything to be more expensive than the renewal.
  3. A sign of the complete mess that Welsh rugby is in.
  4. I'd hoped Aberdeen might have been better with Warnock away to the Dunoon RSC
  5. Pretty awful set of results so far tonight now with Dundee and Hibs both winning.
  6. Quite the turnover in players from 4 years ago. Actually liked Famewo as a player.
  7. It's fair comment because the 4 games we have are fairly tough. I think that's why the win against Aberdeen was so important. It gives us a 9 point gap to Dundee with 5 games left and a 10 point gap to Motherwell with 4 games left. I think even with a poor bit of form we should get there.
  8. I really can't see Robinson going to Pittodrie after Goodwin. I think they'll look to Europe or English leagues and try to get a name from there.
  9. When we moved one of the things we agreed on was going somewhere that has shops and public transport nearby and not to one of the multiple housing estates in the arse end of places where everything is miles away so you have to drive. I still have a car which work gives me an allowance for, but costs, particularly insurance is eyewatering this year. If it wasn't for my job, I'd join a car club and be budgeting how many taxis I'd get for the cost of running the car.
  10. To be honest, on Saturday, defensively Aberdeen largely limited our chances. Yes we were a bit wasteful with finishing, hit the bar and post, but 2nd half from 60mins on when you hooked Hoilett and Duk and sat in, it was a nightmare to break down until Devlin gave away the penalty. Aberdeen frustrated, broke up play, went down at every opportunity. It was streetwise and pretty effective although I don't think you really threatened up top bar the screamer from Barron. The only think I could say was you could probably been a bit better on the counter- Miovski was a pretty lonely figure and had Bolton and Gogic marshalling him and probably needed someone helping him once Duk was hooked.
  11. Aberdeen are in trouble, but even in the last 6 matches Ross County have only gained 2 points on Aberdeen. Ross County's run to the split is pretty hard but if they can beat Aberdeen it really would be game on.
  12. His body language yesterday didn't seem great in all honesty and he didn't seem like the Miovski of earlier in the season. The most notable thing he did was clatter Hemming stupidly late. Not sure if it was a one off but it didn't look great.
  13. Apparently offside check in the buildup. Had to get lines drawn etc. why they don’t tell media etc this…
  14. I think he's really learned a lot. His play and runs are a lot better. Think he was classic raw player that needed a bit of guidance
  15. I can't see Aberdeen going down even though results have been awful. However if the worst happens don't fall fo the 'it will be nice to go to different places guff'. The championship is torture unless you are up the top and winning. We'll end up there again some day.
  16. Wait, we've never heard his before? Imagine football fans being biased and claiming anything for their side. Hope you enjoyed your time in Paisley.
  17. Who do you think was checking the penalty? VAR boys gave him a quick ring to get the banter going
  18. Oh don't get me wrong, it was working and we were frustrated. Aberdeen parked the bus, dropped and rolled around at every touch, wasted time at goal kicks, kicked the ball away, and it totally disrupted the game. It was Hamilton from the Billy Reid era on steroids. When they went at 60 mins into a back 5 and they were all in there own half bar brief forays from Miovski, it was a nightmare to break them down and we were failing until Devlin fucked it. It is a bit of a damning indictment of where Aberdeen are that they play like a lower league side looking for a result. However always delicious schadenfreude when timewasting back fires on a team and I loved Marcus Fraser after the first goal, kicking the ball off the centre spot and annoying the Aberdeen players with some timewasting! They maybe in hindsight should have let him waste more time.
  19. Aberdeen All that timewasting, diving and rolling about to concede a penalty equaliser and a winner in injury time. Fucking glorious.
  20. Seemed closer but Verstappen by 0.2s. Guy seems to be on another level to the grid. Perez in 5th will keep the rumours up of his demise with Ricciardo but then I feel Villeneuve is near the mark here
  21. It seems a really close grid in Q1. Alpine's look like shitboxes. Be interested to see if anyone steps up in Q2/3
  22. That's a huge blow to Glasgow. Aye, arrested and charged according to Sky. https://news.sky.com/story/former-scotland-rugby-captain-stuart-hogg-charged-by-police-after-disturbance-in-hawick-13084460 Honestly guy sounds like he needs help - not seen a career unravelling like this in a while.
  23. I think we have a hard run before the split as we play 2nd, 3rd and 4th plus Motherwell away. We really need points off Ross County and Aberdeen games as Hibs have a far more favourable fixture list on paper with Ross County twice, St Johnstone and Livi.
  24. Thought we were ok but didn't need to get out of second gear. St Johnstone were laughably bad, possibly worse than last time to be honest, hardly threatened until 80 minutes. Kwon getting that goal ruled out looked soft, as he deserved it, he was great all afternoon. Referees as ever were useless. Hope the lad at the end is alright looked concerning
  25. So true. Some of our fans seem decidedly unhappy that we're playing fine at the moment and are waiting for an opportunity to stick the knife in. They'd much rather we were shite and fighting at the bottom to have a moan.
