Leven being looked at down south. Would be a little surprising. He's steadied the ship a bit but not like it's been an amazing turnaround under him or anything.

and Sokler and Macdonald were both booked. What’s the complaint?

I mean in the games (the ones I’ve played at least) apart from the ghouls, super mutants or if humans are put in something like a cryo chamber people generally don’t live for hundreds of years at all.

Aye unless I missed it too I think you’re right that it wasn’t explained at all.

Oh and not surprisingly the shows been renewed for a second series. This must be one of if not the most acclaimed show Amazon has ever had.

But that’s it, it’s not the 1960s. In the fallout timeline the bombs drop starting in 2077. It’s just an alternate timeline massively influenced by some aspects of 1950s-60s Americana. The games have tons of things referencing the time before the war but don’t tend to have the direct flashbacks to the past like the show does so it’s hard to say for definite whether there was as much direct racism as there was in the real world time it’s inspired by. There’s plenty of xenophobia, Red-scare attitudes and nationalism due to there still being so much war between countries before the bombs drop though.

Two home games to start. Could be worse

Aye I’d think we’d have more chance of scraping a shitty 1-0 at Mcdiarmid to be honest but drab 0-0s at any ground seems to be a speciality of this side recently. Ideal scenario for Aberdeen would be County having to come to Pittodrie but I can’t see them doing that if they can avoid it.

Pretty harsh on you if true. I would have assumed they would have made Hibs do that seeing as they’re the least likely (on paper) to be dragged into the playoffs. No idea what their situation fixtures wise is though.

Filmings just finished so next year at some point.

Whilst I’m not trying to say Serie A is up there with the premier league there’s no chance the likes of relegation fodder like Sheffield United would be challenging for the champions league spots in Italy. Never mind championship sides like Southampton.

He doesn’t play in that position really though. Pretty much all his success this season has been playing behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1 formation rather than as one of the deeper players. I think that’s the main problem with giving him a game as if everyone’s fit McGinn and Mctominay are the two most likely candidates but seeing as they’ve been Scotlands main goal threats for the last few years I’m not sure if I can see Clarke picking him ahead of them. The last friendlies partly showed that Mctominay is not as effective in the deeper role for Scotland so I hope they don’t move him back.

Fraser left in the January for a transfer fee though rather than at the end of his contract. Wouldn’t that affect our ability to negotiate any potential fees?

It’s still relatively early on east coast US so you never know….

Aye the beer was decent as you’d expect. Konig Pilsner I think it was. Don’t know how big a brand they are but was surprised to see very little of it elsewhere in the city. All kinds of other German beers like Veltins, Krombacher, Warsteiner, Paulaner, Hofbrau etc had advertising outside pubs but never saw them once.

Yeah had a good weekend too. Did a lot of walking over the weekend and my legs have only just recovered. Didn't have any issues with the airport but that may have just been because we came back on Monday afternoon which is presumably a bit quieter. Enjoyed the game too was impressed by the stadium but probably a bit less though with the standard of the game. Expected a bit more. Hamburg looked really nervy until they got the goal and settled down but I suppose thats probably a result of their recent defeats and automatic promotion possibly slipping away again. Went to the old sailor bar for a couple after the game. Nice wee pub. Found plenty of decent places to eat and drink so would definitely recommend the city. Couple of pals already talking about trying to go to Cologne next.

Cheers man yeah I only planned to go down the Reeperbahn after the game on the Sunday. Trying to avoid the stag-dos etc. was going to check out some Beatles stuff and then maybe some of the bars closer down to the water but those links look decent. Got tickets for Hamburg v Wehen Wiesbaden. Ideally I would have preferred to go to St Pauli but my pals a Rangers fan who’s talked about going to see Hamburg for years to just went along with that. Plus with them both doing well this season and promotion being tight I’m guessing that game would probably be easier to get tickets for. Aye I read up about the subway etc and saw that they didn’t have a tap and go type system like London or the buses here in Edinburgh so already downloaded the app. I’ve been to Munich and Berlin before and public transport over there always seems decent so I imagine Hamburg will be the same.

Heading to Hamburg for 3 nights in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on things To do? Couldn’t find a thread about it which I was a little surprised by. Already got tickets for a game and planning to wander around the old town area to see the town hall, churches etc and then wander down to the docks area and the Elbephilharmonic. I’m sure I’ll head down to the Rieperbahn at some point as well but was wondering if there was anything else people would recommend. Don’t really mind if it’s touristy or not. Not really fussed about seeing the miniature wonderland thing that seems to be highly rated in all the travel blogs but besides that am open to whatever.

His was such an odd post as well. Saying that Aberdeen fans are acting like there's no problem when almost all of us are in varying stages of anger, apathy or dread about the current situation. Plenty of stuff for non-Aberdeen fans to have a laugh about at the moment without making up scenarios.

I mean you’re kind of just making the same point I tried to. Saying I hope there’ll be two teams worse than us doesn’t necessarily mean there will be. Even a Derek Adams Ross County side would give us a tough game just now if he was still there.

Yeah that starting lineup gave me the fear and it somehow turned out even worse than I expected. Having so many attacking options on the bench and then starting with 6 men in midfield never worked for Robson and surprise, surprise didn’t work here either. I thought Warnock would be fine for a short-term appointment but man it really is only heading in one direction. Really hard to see us getting anything at the weekend. As for the rest of the season I think the hope is more that there will hopefully be two teams even worse than us rather than us improving.

I’d take a pre-Celtic Siegrist any day of the week but it’s been so long since he’s played who knows what you’d get signing him now. I’d assumed he was meant to be heading down under as his mrs is from there. (or so I’d read at least?)
