Ex-Dons

[TheDeeDon]

A thing on the BBC Sport gossip page says that Jim Leighton has urged men to get their prostate checked. The article is in the P&J, and I'm nae paying to read it.

I hope everything is fine with him.

I think it was in the press previously that he had or has prostate cancer.

I'm 51 and have issues with the pesky thing and can only agree with getting it checked out.

It has to be said though that it's not the most pleasant of experiences.

I have a few years on you DD and could not agree more that once you get north of 50 to get it checked regularly.
The PSA and / or PHI blood tests are by far and away a more tolerable experience than finger up the hoop job and the accuracy of the results are indeed very good.

The blood tests aren't great for picking up prostrate problems, only around 70% accuracy and can lead to missing problems and also diagnosing issues that don't exist.
It's all we have though as everything else is invasive, due to where the thing is.

The UCAN thing they are trying to set up at ARI would be a game changer, but quibbling over funding and we are only talking around £500k, which is really nothing in this day and age, especially in 'oil rich Aberdeen'.

I read the Leighton article and great to read that he is on the mend. He was a great keeper for us over two spells.

A Matty Kennedy double, following on from a Bruce Anderson goal, set up by Gary Mackay Stevens.

It's a funny old game right enough.

Ethan Ross with a double that saw Falkirk take the points against Ayr United.

Alfie Bavidge was subbed off at half time for Ayr.
Not happening for the loon yet, down in Ayr.

Miovski an unused bench warmer again for Girona, another loon that it's just nae happening for yet.

Couldn't we take him on loan to get him match fit?

"Scott Brown says he probably should have retired as a player after leaving Celtic and focused on coaching, instead of joining Aberdeen."

Too right.

Too right indeed, he put me right off the club for a while. I'm only just back happy now

Apart from the goal against the Huns, not sure if he did much else of note. Possibly quite good for the younger midfielders to learn from, maybe, but in general he's a fud.

I was Ibrox that night & the seethe from the Govan front when he walked over with Simmie was magnificent.

[GASC1980]

His goal and celebration and mocking of the hun who got sent off at Pittodrie will be what he is remembered for but I still maintain he should have been nowhere near our club.
