My parents still live in the same house. My wife is from Glasgow and she finds visiting there amazing and also a bit surreal about how quiet it is. I think we all take for granted how lucky we are to live here. Nice, peaceful city and you're only ever 10 mins away from what feels like endless green countryside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Kinker primary before being forced to move further south by my parents just before secondary. Brought into this world as a Dons fan when it was inconceivable that we’d even ever play in Europe in the pre-Turnbull era. Just happy to have a few wins every season and finish mid table at best. A bit like St Johnstone nowadays, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were staying in the erstwhile Kincardineshire (was then called Aberdeenshire but I'm all for the continuing of historic names) and did often pass through 'Kinker' to either buy petrol or tobacco as there's little else going on... Kinker is actually in historic Aberdeenshire. Kincardineshire ends about 4 miles east before you reach it on the A93. .......and yes, the wee shop there is nirvana of a Saturday morning (the garage is closed as the guy retired last year aged about 106). Chinese is very good, but remains 'cash only'. As for the new house building - there are apparently 6,000 properties in the ASPC - average in years gone by was around a quarter that - but still new builds pop up everywhere around City and Shire - will the bubble burst by the time we need to sell Pittodrie?

RussellAnderson Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I know it pales into insignificance for those Top Reds who were actually there, but Malone’s in Edinburgh was fucking carnage the night of that game. Probably only about 20 Dandies in that massive back room but one hell of a bounce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logie skid boys Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Nearly every red thought it was great signing when May arrived .its nae worked out and it’s nothing do with opportunities or formations. he’s lost that yard sharpness around the box. injuries have taken this away. big result if he’s terminated contract . Give his all in every game and he played his part in some big wins last year. . but his best days behind him. one thing is he will still do a job with his workrate so will be a big asset for saints . . but moving him on this window is good news . maybe give Anderson more of an opportunity now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukDukGoose Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It's a shame it didn't work out for him. Gave 100% every game but just doesn't have it anymore. You can think of countless times when he's clean through on goal and fluffed his lines. Wish him all the best except when he's playing us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 If we do get May and Gleeson off the books what sort of player would you like to see coming in instead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Im surprised Aberdeen have totally cut their losses with him considering their investment in him. I didn't think he was that bad last season just not the player we once knew. Would have thought a loan back at Saints would have been worth trying first to get his confidence back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what he was offering, Main will do the same job on less wages. That's not to suggest Main is a better player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Genuinely disappointed, he was a fine player for us, just couldn't get the number goals we expected from him. I'm not sure I'll be able to boo him when he returns. I'll give it a go, but it will be half hearted. Yours, aDONis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf other managers persevere more with high profile signings to try and save face but at least McInnes seems to have the stones to realise it was an error. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It's a sore one and an expensive deal but has it really been a disaster?
