Auchinyell Sox Change

I remember the game ; but wasnt at it - 2-0 win for Dons - for some reason i recall there was only 2000 or so at the game ? But that photo doesn’t suggest that i think the willie garner reference may of been another / earlier game tho as i honestly dont recall him featuring at that stage - season we beat celtic 2-1 in final i believe on the stadium thing ; is tenuous link to clyde / qpr / wimbledon and thames afc ( bizarrely played in a 120k stadium but had one of the lowest ever league attendances )

sounds like a Swedish statto ; austin mcphee type ? ; mayb not as charismatic as Ebbe (another bizarre choice) all i know about him tho is that Robert Lual piece below https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68783946

Am sure theres a Frank McAvennie joke reference to moby dick somewhere in there ….

Jings ; that slipped past me - i was still referring to the 1980 version =thought i was up to speed on all things ww2 ..... but if its not 'hollywood' out here , tougher to track down i keep asking folk here " have you seen babylon berlin ?" and met with vacant look ( i know its pre ww2) ah its got subtitles ,,,,, never watching that , typical reply

das boot a film ? or a series ..... ?? i understand there was different endings yeah maybe unfair on the pacific ; in that i was def comparing it i had to google the actress name ; but pretty much confirmed it was the melbourne episode / greek parents book by Sledge is supposed to be amazing i liked The Thin Red Line film too ; some of his other films are very heavy going - Malik ? , but think because of subject matter its bearable

Yeah saw it ; not bad story/acting wise , but the CGI (not as bad as Midway tho....) gives it a Disney feel imho

lost my netflix account - saw jumped onto Disney watched Hill St Blues Ep 1 ; then NYPD Blue Ep 1 - only 10 years-ish apart , but felt like a lifetime , at the time both great at the time ; and enjoyed them both again - i knew it was same writers , but strange/lazy ? that both opening episodes have a/ main character(s) being shot (badly) & surviving b/ main character - ex wife , separation papers , complaining to husband etc etc c/ main character (from b) ; love interest with another main cast member ; whilst dealing with ex ....

US airmen completed "tour" after 50 missions i recall ? RAF just kept going til war ended , or they never made it back i thought even the Pacific was a step down from BoB at the time - wonder if they'll ever do a Naval version ; Das Boot Re Boot

am bit out of touch these days tbh - but as its a summer 'friendly' and the fact that a large majority of your supporters at these events ; will be of the 'plastic / day tripper ' variety ; added to the fact that (based on my own match attending even in 70s and 80s) that 1969 game was likely attended by 95-99 % blokes - majority of those being in drinking/swadging age group/demographic ; am sure will still be bit of bother tho ; but nothing like Fairs Cup or Uefa in Manchester

That was really interesting !

It was a bawhair in 95 tho ; at least then we had some very decent players in the team ; who finally got it together- then actually breezed through the play off versus dunfermline we seem to be on a similar trajectory now though ; but not much faith in players we have am still baffled by the warnock affair ; did he jump or was he pushed ? tbh i would take lennon rather than go down … admittedly hes a notch up on scott brown and roy aitken on being disliked ; i was more concerned about his record ; cyprus i think ?

I was only closing the loop on the "other connotations" although i believe intent was firmly tongue in cheek (no other connotation in that part either though )

brighton ; the pink pound , light on ones loafers , dancing queen , friends of dorothy etc etc i assume

off at tangent , but late 90s last minute bank hol w/e in london , all was available was BA flight to Cologne (twin prop - passengers facing each other ....) got a boat/cruise down to Koblenz = highlight for me was seeing the 'bridge at remagen ' en route - then jumped on a train back to Cologne - stayed in cheapo hotel near the station = this time booked a hotel in bonn / then for stuttgart = heidleberg - hope that works out ..... got a 7 day in month eurail pass for me & the loon - reservations thru DB mostly

Thanks ! thats very helpful = i had no idea ; showed it to mate today also
