F*cking castle was shut. Wonder if the same thing happened to Quintus Lollius Urbicus

Going to The Selecter gig tonight at the Lemon Tree, so hopefully that will help me sleep a little afterwards.

Great stuff DD, enjoy the gig mate. Loved the Selecter back in the day.
I can see a good omen here and the stars aligning.
They will likely open with three minute hero and close with too much pressure.
What we are looking for is for "three minute hero" who can handle "too much pressure" to come off the bench grab the winner.....

Happy days.

Just back from The Selecter gig and WOW.
Three Minute Hero was the second track and finished on Too Much Pressure.

Pauline Black, what a woman and looking in excellent nick in her 72nd year.

What a way to set myself up for the game tomorrow.

Doubt I'll sleep much tonight.

Good man!!! Just out of curiosity, is Dumbarton a green or blue kinda place??

Bit of both, theyve pretty much carved up the town between them. Huns have the east side sewn up with their manky bowling clubs, Stags Head pub, Masonic & Orange Hall

The Tims have their own club, a couple of pubs in the high st & the golf club

Theyre creatures of habit so it?s very easy to avoid them.

I think theres less than 20 game going Aberdeen fans. Theres also a Celtic fan who goes to Aberdeen games because they?re more fun. F*ck knows whats wrong with him

I?m setting off this afternoon in a 2 stage journey. Optimism is building. I like the close to Gavin McPhee?s Cup Final preview email

?It might be wee, but there is a chance. It won?t do any harm to let yourself dream for a few hours.?

That's the players on their way down the road!

Do we still stay over in Perth or has all that stopped now.

Less than 24 hrs to kick off....

Yes it was...and we beat them at Parkhead 2-1 - not like you to get it wrong!

The old mind?s going min.

In slight mitigation, I?m auld enough to have been at the 1967 final, my first time ever in Glasgow.

That was a **** of an afternoon. Nae leadership, as Turnbull had caught a bug two weeks before when in London for the England 2 Scotland 3 game, and was unable to leave his bed at Gleneagles. The team was lost withoot him.

So...

Liverpool - EPL Champions and have the Liver Bird.

Palace - FA Cup and have the Eagle.

Newcastle - League Cup and have the Magpie.

Tottenham - UEFA Cup and have the Cockerel.

Aberdeen - Scottish Cup and have the Seagull!!

We're bringing it up the road folks.

Dabbagh to channel his inner Stan Williams/Derek McKay, scoring in the quarter and semi final and getting the winner in the final.
