New Aberdeen Podcast

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Instead of hoping to hear maybe five minutes on the Dons in the nightly Sportsound podcasts, or forensically searching for any mention of Scottish football at all in the larger English podcasts, give our show a listen.

Half an hour each week on the Dons and nothing but the Dons.

You can listen to the latest show and the back issues on Soundcloud here:
https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/sets/by-the-min-aberdeen

And you can also find the show on iTunes podcast section under the "ByTheMin Aberdeen Podcast" (Number 130 on the iTunes charts and rising!)

Give it a listen and let us know what you think, where we can improve, and what you'd like to hear us discuss.

[StandFreeEd]

Good luck with it, guys! I'll hae a wee listen this week.

[05car]

by the min is a timmy invention

fact

[IveSeenTheLight]

Far too negative for me.
You need to project more positively.

I listened to the whole of podcast 4, and it seems that you guys may not understand the technicalities of football (in my opinion).

Calling for a Calvin Zola type battering ram type striker for one.
Failure to realise that Jack dropping into a back three, allows Shinnie to push forward and overlap Hayes as well as Logan overlapping McGinn at the same time.
Failure to spot that Hayes and McGinn was not sticking to the wings and willing to drift in as well and cross sides.
The whole midfield were interchanging positions allowing a great fluidity and make it hard for the opposition to mark.

You even failed to notice or comment that Neither Langfield of Shankland was in the squad, leading to confirming the rumour that they could be off to the likes of St Mirren

The discussion on Shay Logan I understand. He has 4 children down south and with McInnes saying nobody is moving before we are out of Europe, it opens the

[CoveKreep]

I haven't listened yet - but great to know there's one out there dealing solely with AFC.

I recall a previous one from some Inverness-based reds, but all it did was told you what you could find out elsewhere - some proper opinion, whether we all agree or not, will be welcome.

[ReidAFC]

Downloaded last night, good so far IMO decent wee podcast and good knowledge. Keep it up

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Cheers for the feedback above and to those of you that have taken the time to listen.

Just to respond to the claims of it being "a timmy invention". The By The Minute project is indeed the brainchild of Lawrence Donegan, former bassist in Lloyd Cole's band, golf writer and, yes, Celtic fan. The first feeds were set up to cover the Masters a couple of years ago and others followed. We kicked off the Aberdeen one this year and the guys behind it are very definitely reds.

As for the accusations of negativity, that's maybe to be expected given a week in which we were knocked out of Europe, and the associated subject matter of our feedback feature that week. Why not try listening to one of the other shows to see if you still think we're too negative?

Equally we don't intend it being a closed shop. If you think our tactical assessments aren't incisive enough, then we'd love to have you on the show so that we can improve!

[IveSeenTheLight]

Let us know where to contribute and we'll certainly drop off some of our own incites for you to comment on ;)

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Twitter account is @bytheminAFC - alternatively we'll keep an eye on this thread if that's easier for you.

[early1981]

Great idea and can only get better. Agreed with a few things. Be a better show if you had guys with more football knowledge on it. Look forward to the next one

[tarapoa]

As I spend around 1hr 20mins a day on average driving to and from work these days, podcasts are the thing !

Having just subscribed and listened to the most recent one* of these this morning, can only say it’s great to now have what sounds a decent dedicated AFC one at last. Hopefully will continue to be a fine alternative to the Guardian (enjoyable but up their own @rse a bit), The Terrace (insightful, but a bit of an annoying gigglefest at times) or Sportsound (which is becoming more and more about the monotony of listening to Richard Wilshun talk about Sevco).

Keep up the good work…..

(*ps even if the "feature" at the end was a tad macabre and almost led to me slitting my wrists)

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

The equivalent bit on the other three shows have been your favourite AFC goals, hopes and fears for the season and your favourite AFC in Europe memories so it's just a bit unfortunate that the one we've publicised on here has had that downer on it! However, it's all part of being a Dons fan.

The topic on the next show is your 'What if?' moments - such as 'What if we had actually signed Gabriel Batistuta?"

You can leave your comments here, or to our Twitter account mentioned above.

[Swissdon]

Tried ep 1 and like it so far...ep 3 on Soundcloud has no download link...whoever uploads them needa to activate it. Other 3 are fine...other than all the pods have the same filename which is a pain...

[Red_china]

just a quick comment from me ; what can you do to improve the sound quality? It was driving me mad the first two podcasts and the levels were all over the place too.
apart from that (and the super depressing 'worst ever's!) Keep it up, the more Aberdeen news the better!

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Totally agree that the sound quality could be better, and we have been tweaking things each week to try and improve it. However, it's recorded over Skype, so we're aware there'll be a limit to how good we can get it.

As for the making Ep 3 downloadable on Soundcloud I'll try and fix that tonight and report back if I've been able to. Obviously iTunes users can still download it through that portal.

[05car]

here's a what if for you, what if we'd got real 'buy in' from the oil and gas industry at the outset - far would we be?

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Swissdon, that's episode 3 made available for download here: https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/btm-aberdeen-podcast-3

Next I'll try and tackle the fact that the files are the same.

[early1981]

What if - Eoin Jess was in the current Dons Team???.

[Swissdon]

Yup got 'er now :) and What if...Chris Anderson hadn't died so rediculously early?...

[Swissdon]

When do the new episodes go up?

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Usually record them Monday night, and show 5 should be up on Soundcloud/available on iTunes from tonight barring any problems.

Joined tonight by one of the guys from a Motherwell podcast for their views on Saturday's game, plus still taking your 'What if?' scenarios.

[IveSeenTheLight]

What if........ Aberdeen go on and win the league this year ;)

[IveSeenTheLight]

What if....... Referee's did not favour Celtic in their decisions

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Here's this week's show on Soundcloud, will be available for download via iTunes overnight. As ever, keen to hear your thoughts:

https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/btm-aberdeen-podcast-5

[Swissdon]

I liked it. Definitely a good idea to get guests on to mix it up a bit.

On the subject of Rod the Prod at the 2000 Cup Final, was speaking to some of our players from that day a few years later and every one of them is convinced it was a deliberate assault.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

We'll be recording the next episode of the podcast tomorrow night. Feedback topic this memory is memories of your first away game. Leave them here, or Tweet us at @bytheminAFC

[Swissdon]

St Mirren at Love Street, 3rd round Scottish Cup 2000. Stand you needed mountaineering gear to get to your seat...but most importantly, Zero's beast of a free kick and going mental when it hit the net.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Here's the latest show, sound quality a bit patchy again, but have to compress the file size to make it manageable.

https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/btm-aberdeen-podcast-6

[Swissdon]

Sounds like you're all on mobile phones...but ignoring that, another entertaining show. Martyn's view on Hayes seems to be completely at odds with literally everybody elae though. Opinions are like arseholes and that...

[tarapoa]

Oops, a bit late for this week’s feature, but all the same….

First ever away game (with my old man taking me) - 1-0 win at Tannadice, LC semi first leg 1981 (enjoyable, but they scudded us 3-0 in second leg with Sturrock I think scoring a couple of peaches).

First ever travelling with mates - 1-0 win at Arbroath, Scottish Cup 1986 – crazy in and out of the stadium, following the dons in the late 80s as a ****ager was generally an ‘experience’

[05car]

its done via skype swiss min so that is why it sounds like that

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

It's really the file compression to get the show down to a manageable size for iTunes that's causing most of the issues this week rather than the fact it's done via Skype. Hopefully we'll hit upon a happy medium that gives us reasonable quality v file size.

Appreciate anyone taking the time to listen and, as ever, keen for feedback on the content.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Will upload a higher quality version of the file to Soundcloud tonight, but it is huge, so if you're downloading, I'd stick to the original one.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Calling it 'high quality' might be pushing it, but here's a less compressed version of the podcast. Turned off download option due to the file size:

https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/btm-aberdeen-podcast-6-hq-stream

[Swissdon]

What's your filesizes? Forgot to check before I deleted it. To give you a guideline, the BBC seem to be around 40-50MB for a show that length and that's fine (even up to about 60MB or so is fine these days).

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

It's as much to do with the hosting costs of larger files on the platform that pushes to iTunes etc, as the time it takes to download them to be honest.
However, on Soundcloud, given that only a small percentage of listeners download from there and usually just stream, I may just put the less compressed versions up there.

[Swissdon]

I download from Soundcloud! So I agree, less compression there :)

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

New podcast being recorded tomorrow night. Feedback topic this time is best ever signing - that can be best value for money, greatest impact, whatever. Leave your suggestions here or get in touch on Twitter - @bytheminAFC before 8:30 Monday night.

As ever comments/feedback welcome.

[Swissdon]

Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for when you started! Wouldn't have been close to my first choice as guest but good interview and pretty interesting. Any others lined up? Nos if you don't wanna...I did see you tweet Preecey last week mind... :)

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

We do have a few more in the pipeline, saving them for International weeks so there's time to have a decent chat with them. So we'll have two in October and two more in November if all goes to plan.

I'm not going to them, not because we're trying to build up an air of mystery, but because until it's actually recorded people can back out/their availability change, and all that sort of stuff. Not all of them are ex-players though.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Episode 9 covers the Celtic game, refereeing standards, a look ahead to Hamilton and Hearts, plus our AFC Childhood heroes.

decent listen after the post match analysis

Latest podcast is live and available to listen on the link below. Special guest this week is former Scotland cricket captain Craig Wright and unsurprisingly captaincy and leadership are two of the key themes this week.

Usual weekly shill for our latest podcast. This week's one is a good'un, featuring former Dons 'keeper, and by far the best footballer/ex=footballer on Twitter, David Preece.

[andoplzcumbak]

That was a great interview, I thought he was gonna start crying at one point! There's a guy who had a lot of love for the club.

[Landvetter83]

Cheers lads. Finally got my @rse in gear and subscribed.

Downloaded the Graham Hunter one and the recent David Preece one - both enjoyable listens. Preece's interview was a revelation and you could tell he really has an affinity for the club. His memory was fantastic and you could tell he really enjoyed his relationships with his team mates.

One theme that came across in the two podcasts was that it was important the club had a manager that set "high standards and expectations". Both Hunter and Preece spoke about this in respect of McInnes (Preece also mentions it with respect to Calderwood and Nicholl). It's quite shocking to think that this is not "a given" at a football club and that it takes certain types to, in Aberdeen's case, re-introduce the standards after they slip.

Anyway, keep up the good work lads, enjoyed it.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Cheers folks, nice to hear that it's going down well, Preecey is an absolute star. We knew he'd be a good guest because he's by far and away the best footballer/ex-footballer on Twitter, but we didn't quite realise the depth of feeling he has for our club.

Anyway, you can listen to older shows here: https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/sets/by-the-min-aberdeen and we've got another long-format interview coming up next week.

[CalumGilhooly]

Congrats all round for the latest one, best yet. Preece was superb.

Keep them coming!

[tarapoa]

Listened on the drive home tonight.

Good stuff as ever and just loved the chat with Preece - so open and honest.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Here's the latest podcast. Joining us this week is all-round good guy (and a man that doesn't want to wear a shirt and tie to go to the fitba, Paul Lawrie: https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/btm-aberdeen-podcast-18-paul-lawrie-special

[Gallus79]

I listened to this and fell asleep.

Paul Lawrie is the most boring man in the world.

Hurry up with the Eoin Jess one, that's what we're all waiting for.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

With the greatest of respect to the above poster, what a heap of sh*te about Paul Lawrie.

[CoveKreep]

I listened to this and fell asleep.

Paul Lawrie is the most boring man in the world.

I think you are more boring.

Lawrie was great to hear from IMO.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Anyone had the chance to listen to the Richard Gordon show yet? What did you think?

[Red_Don]

Enjoyed it as always. RG is obviously a Dandy through and through and loves to talk about the Dons. I enjoyed listening to his recollections.

Wasn't sure about the regular pundit who said Craig Thomson had an alright game last week though!!! Was he really there? Was it you? XD

Apart from that.........keep up the good work lads.

[InversneckieDob]

Aye lads, yer pod has been on my "dog-walking" rotation since it come oot, Richard's one just gone was probably top banana so far, great listen.

[Landvetter83]

Enjoying the podcasts lads, keep up the good work.

Just been catching up ...

No. 23 was interesting regarding the league reconstruction debate - although I was a bit annoyed you led in with the reference to the banner at Kilmarnock .... and then didn't talk at all about the sentiment behind the banner - maybe you can put that right in a future edition?

FWIW I'm on the side of the 3 lads advocating a 16-team league. Add in a winter shut-down from mid December to mid-February. Season starts in July and runs into June. League Cup from July to November, Scottish from March to June. Dare I even throw in the idea of a US style salary-cap to spice up the competition?

[TheDeeDon]

JUst heard the podcast, not bad at all.

Whilst looking through the feed I came across a David Preece article, he writes some good stuff for his colum in the Sunderland newspaper.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Just catching up on these posts, appreciate everyone who's taken the time to listen to a show or two so far.

Re the reconstruction chat - I think the lead in was something along the lines of "Stewart Milne made some truly daft comments the other week". I think there was an assumption that the audience would know what was said, and what the point of the banner was so there wasn't any need to labour the point.

Anyway, usual plug for the last few shows. More low key ones over Christmas but still worth a listen (well, we would say that) - easiest place to catch up is on this link: https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/sets/by-the-min-aberdeen

Whilst I'm here, all going to plan we'll have Derek Rae on next week's show. So if you've any questions you'd like us to put to him then fire them up here or message us on Twitter.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Yup, it's that time of the week where we charmlessly spam our latest podcast.

We were joined by BT Sport's Derek Rae last night for a post-mortem on Saturday's limp display, some mourning over the loss of Danny Ward and a chat with Derek about his varied career to date. Listen to the show on the link below:

We were joined by BT Sport's Derek Rae last night

I'm not on Twitter but I meant to say for you to ask him about BT Sport's SPFL TV deal.

It seems that either BT Sport have no rights to any Celtic home games, or Sky get first pick and pick all of the 5 Celtic home games that can be shown live.

Would you be able to ask him?

We got a fair bit of feedback on Twitter as well about stuff relating to match picks, or the value of the TV deal, but we knew there was no point asking that question as the mechanics of the deal are nothing to do with Derek. He basically commentates on the games he's told to do - was the same when he was covering Brazilian football or whatever else at ESPN.

The other point raised frequently was about the general dreadfulness of Chris Sutton. Again, it's fairly pointless asking that question as he gets given a co-commentator without much say.

Just caught up with this one. Good Lad Derek Rae.

Figure you're going to bag the third of the prile of Dandie radio commentators next - Liam MacLeod?

[Gallus79]

Derek Rae was a great listen, when you compare him to someone like Paul Lawrie, who basically self promoted all the way through the interview. Don't know what your going to get until you sit down I guess-podcasts are great though.

Keep up the good work lads.

[Red_china]

the Richard Gordon interview was top class - well done :)

(Catching up from a month off over xmas)

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Gallus min, again I'm not entirely sure what your beef with Paul Lawrie is, but I really don't think that's fair. It was entirely our decision to talk about his foundation etc and direct the chat there rather than look back through his career in great detail. And if you do consider that to be self-promotion then so what? I think these things are genuinely giving a lot back to the North East and deserve to be promoted.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

That aside, thanks for the feedback above and to anybody that's taken the time to listen so far.

Feedback topic for next week's show is "watching the Dons surrounded by opposition fans". So whether that's in the home end at an away game, or in a pub deep into enemy territory, let's have your stories.

BTM Aberdeen Podcast - thanks for getting back to me.

I can't reply directly for some reason.

I am sure that Derek is very familiar with the TV deal, he commentates on every SPFL game for BT Sport and strikes me as the kind of person who would make it his business to find out.

I'm not interested in the financials or the nitty gritty of the match pick rights, I really just wondered why Celtic are the only Premiership team that BT Sport have never covered live at home.

This week we're joined by David MacGregor of indie band Kid Canaveral as we try and make sense of the chaos that was Dingwall on Sunday, despair at the inclination of modern footballers to dive at the slightest touch/manicure themselves to within an inch of their lives, while the feedback topic was watching Dons games with the enemy.

As ever, keen to hear your comments if you've taken the time to listen.

Latest podcast came out last night, where our guest was merchandiser to the more sophisticated Dons fan - Dolly Digital (or rather his mild mannered alter-ego)

quite a hard listen that in terms of where's at in his life

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

I do think it's a common situation with ex professionals, and one that, I'd argue, you could also hear hints of beneath the surface in our David Preece interview.

Whilst it may have been difficult to think of him struggling with the transition, getting a measure of the guy behind the one who played in red and is preserved in our memories that way is a good thing, no? Or do you just want to hear about the games he played in?

Ultimately, we can try and have a plan of where we want to take an interview, and it can go somewhere else entirely and those are probably the better shows.

[Mason89]

That was a bit difficult at points. You don't want to hear such a nice chap struggling a bit.

Giving credit for the cup to the penalty takers before him in sudden death, shows the measure of the man. Scored a peach against the Bankie filth as well.

Legend

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Guest this week is Sunday Times Journalist, Sunday Supplement regular, and Dons fan Jonathan Northcroft.

We cover the two big wins over the past seven days and their implication on the title race, speak with Jonathan about his footballing life and reveal which Pittodrie games left the biggest impression, while there's always room for a Fergie story or two.

[Red_Don]

Been catching up with these podcasts lately. For whatever reason my link stops at podcast no. 33 and I hadn't been aware of the newer stuff.
Recently listened to Keith Wyness, ex-Hacienda DJ Graeme Park and film director Jon Baird and thoroughly enjoyed all three shows. All good Dons men with interesting and entertaining stories to tell about being Dandies.

Highly recommend this to anyone who hasn't listened in yet.

[tarapoa]

Fully agree - just watched the episode of Vinyl that Jon "S" Baird directed.
He must have had a lot of fun doing that. Liked his wee AFC plant in Filth too.

Some other excellent guests over the weeks too - just waiting for self-proclaimed dandy Michael Gove now !

[InversneckieDob]

Boys, normally like yer podcast and listen every week but had to cut this week short when that nugget you had on (JJ something?) spouted the "Falkirk's stadium saved us from relegation" p!sh.

Canna thole it when Weegia types spout this, when a Dandy comes out with it, end.

I'll be back next week though.

[tarapoa]

Agree, normally enjoy, but that JJ sounded a fine enough lad, but I had no idea what he was talking about.......

[Brian Grantland]

I'll swerve this one then I reckon.
Heard a dandy spout the falkirk shoite the other day, had to pull him up on it
Felt bad but truth needs to be told.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Aye Sneckie, you're absolutely right, we shouldn't have let that one get through unchecked. Our bad.

Anyway, here's part one of our Willie Miller interview at the following link:

https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/btm-aberdeen-podcast-willie-miller-1-of-2

This covers his early footballing memories up to that first title win in 1980.

[The_JB]

^^^^

Gave up listening to the podcast with God after a couple of minutes due to the amount of the noise in the background. Very disappointing :(

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

OK, I can understand that. When I listened back it's certainly distracting in the first few minutes, but once you tune into the conversation you don't seem to notice it quite so much. However, we're sorry to hear to spoiled it for you.

For anyone else that listened, did they find similar?

[Brian Grantland]

I stopped after a couple of minutes but know I'll go back to it with head phones and when I can concentrate fully on it

[AberdeenArnold]

Just listened to it. Loved it.

I can see what folk mean about the sound but listening with headphones makes a big difference.

Just walked back from work through Kelvingrove park and there was a few smiles as I listened to God.

Was laughing about the bit with Jackie Copeland.

Looking forward to the 2nd bit :D

[Red_china]

Aye, it was tough going to listen to the start, it did get better.

Where was it recorded? A greasy spoon in the harbour?

I'd take a go at cleaning up the Second half of the interview, if its a continuation of the first one, it'll be better received.
,,, then clean up the first one!

In years to come (aye like in about 40), after we've lost Willie , you'll regret not having done this in a studio.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

2nd part of the Willie interview is now up. You can find it here: https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/btm-aberdeen-podcast-willie-miller-special-2-of-2, or on iTunes or on any other podcasting app.

[Mason89]

That was great. Well worth a listen

[SalfordDon]

Brilliant, been checking daily for this coming out.

[InversneckieDob]

That was a cracking listen and and nae mistake.

The Kenny Burns line just cracked me up.

Mind you, one bit of constructive.........was it Grant that did the outro?

Sounded, for a' the world like the bit at the end of Crimewatch.

"Remember, statistically none of the incidents in tonight's show are likely to happen to you so don't have nightmares."

[elginred]

Aye,great listen. "Place taken by a fat man" XD.


Keep up the good work....

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

Would have had part 2 out sooner, but held off after Red TV put up their interview (which is also worth catching up on).

Past shows can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/sets/by-the-min-aberdeen or on any podcast app. The guest interviews stand up pretty well if you haven't heard them yet. Just fast forward through the game chat.

Alex McLeish anyone?

One hour, entirely focused on his time at Pittodrie.

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

New season, new podcast. As we know the square root of sod all about Luxembourg football we've got input from a Luxembourg journalist: https://soundcloud.com/bytheminsport/btm-aberdeen-podcast-47-cs-fola-esch-preview

[Red_Don]

Just listened to Willie Miller - Pt 2 which I enjoyed very much. Anyone know the Ryan Gauld story he was alluding to?

Also, it was interesting how Willie pretty much shrugged off the infamous "You've let us down again" graffiti which was daubed on the Pittodrie walls after yet another cup final defeat as - uncalled for vandalism; while Fergie has implied that it was possibly the catalyst that drove him/them on the road to greater things........or did I imagine that?

[BTM Aberdeen Podcast]

We didn't know the Ryan Gauld story and would have pressed him but we were fast running out of time by that point. No doubt someone on here will have the goss though.

I think his point on the graffiti was that the will to win in the squad was already strong, and they were just as disappointed as the fans. I'll have to go back and re-read A Light in the North to see what Fergie's exact take was, but that's my recollection.

Latest podcast features an in-depth chat with Kevin McNaughton. Majoring on his time at the Dons - stream or download it from here: http://www.bytheminute.co/podcasts/bytheminafc or all the usual places such as iTunes

[tarapoa]

Really enjoyable interview with Kevin McNaughton - humble lad and top bloke. I was wondering if he was hinting we may provide the opposition for his Cardiff testimonial?

Anyway - love BTW - so refreshing to have some proper AFC discussion available somewhere (other than the tow the party line stuff on Friday Sport) - Presenters are knowledgeable and almost all the guests have been worth listening to - definitely makes my 40 minute drive to work more bearable.

Aye, we actually asked him about that after the chat you hear and he either genuinely didn't know, or wasn't giving anything anyway. It's during the International break so not sure that a shadow Dons squad would be much of a draw to the people of South Wales.

As for the other stuff, thanks, although this presenter is clearly an idiot, as anyone who has to suffer being in his vicinity at games will testify. However, the other two are good lads and yes, we've been blown away by the willingness and generosity of our guests to give us some of of their spare time to talk to us shambling amateurs. Without them there really isn't much of a show.

[MrVanDenBos]

Is there any reason why only some of the episodes are on soundcloud?

It seems to be the source that the Podcast Addict app uses for By The Min.

We've stopped putting them on Soundcloud so you won't find the latest ones on there. Instead they are all here: http://www.bytheminute.co/podcasts/bytheminafc

[InversneckieDob]

Enjoyed the Super Kev interview, comes across as a cracking fella.

A number of years ago, what I'd guess 2005-ish, I was in an Inverness watering hole that i used to frequent, one Friday after work.

I can't remember if it was off-season or if we just didn't have a game that weekend, anyway, I'm sat imbibing my post-work beers when into the boozer walks Super Kev, Ryan Esson and a young player whose name escapes me now (got freed early, never really made anything of it).
It was round about the time that Esson and said young fella got freed I think.
Anyway, the three of them had just pitched up in Inverness for a lad's weekend....they'd all had a few (though Kev was probably soberist).

Kev was just a decent down to earth guy.
Ryan E was a wee bit off, I think he'd just been told he was done at the end of the season.
But the the three of them were all fine enough guys, happy to blether away to an exiled Dandy.

Ironic that two of them signed for ICT.

And a fine job you did too. Thought your point about the part luck plays was interesting. We were talking about that leaving Hampden (McInnes must go) Luck is heavily influenced by the amount of money you throw at it. We dont have that luxury but I bet if we started our best XI in their favoured positions, we might find ourselves getting luckier

Glad you liked it, sir. Luck is a factor that gets ignored because we like to put more causal factors under the microscope - understandably, we talk about the manager or out-of-form players first and foremost. IMO we are strong at building on luck when it goes our way - in other words, if we get a dodgy pen or a flukey opening goal, we tend to take advantage. Nevertheless, we haven't had too many breaks our way of late, and we've not found the dig to win regardless. We were very good at still winning games in which we were pretty unlucky last term. We are capable of it. We're just not quite doing it right now.

It won't take much to turn this around. In many ways, Fir Park is the perfect game for us. A winnable game against a decent side. We have the players and IMO we have the manager. It just might take a penalty or a lucky break to get the ball rolling.

Hello everyone. In case you're not an avid social media user you might not know that we've changed name, podcast hosts, links, well everything apart from getting some decent or even semi-knowledgable hosts in really.

We're now called Here We Go! (which apparently doesn't mean anything AFC related to anyone under the age of 30, but we're stuck with it now) and you can find all our shows old and new over here: https://afcherewego.podbean.com/

You can find us on podcast apps or within iTunes by searching for 'Here We Go', all the back catalogue from the ByTheMin days should be at the link above, most of it is obviously obsolete chat on a given week/game, but there's some decent guests peppered through the shows. We're also on the social medias @AFCHereWeGo

Alright, gentle spamming over, I'll let you get back to arguing with yourself again.
