The 80's

[Ke1t]

Brechin must have been Ballys nightclub!?

 

Stix [sic] I believe.

[Ke1t]

The fuck did I forget this moment of brilliance?

[daytripping]

Kelt, have you read Shaun's autobiography, a great read, well worth the money.

 

Step on, haaaavveee it!

Flicks!!!

 

Ballys was Arbroath.

[daytripping]

I'm in the crowd here, 1.24 is my older brother bouncing with the back perm, we had a family wedding the next day, got home at 10 in the morning, I was a drug fueled mess.

 

[tightbreeks]

squirrel and the g-man is the best. but not many band's 3 first albums are classics.

[daytripping]

Fat jim won't be impressed but I was still in a fit enough state to have it with some Dundee casuals in the car park that night,

 

I was recognised and approached and thought why not, you only live once, got a few lads together and the rest is history, we got smashed to fuck.

 

Good night though.

Flicks, that was the fella.

 

I have indeed read Mr Ryder's autobiography. In fact I think I have a couple of them knocking around the house.

 

I have a copy of the Hallelujah in paperback less than 2 feet away, in fact

Flicks had the first lasers in Scotland apparently, they must have got hold of the Aberdeen birth register cause they used to send invites to your house, toonsers and village people never mix, when i was there it was always a messy night, 25 stone bouncers taking liberties in a parochial shit attempt at being a proper club.

 

I liked his book though, when he and bez went buying drugs in brooklyn (i think) was a highlight.

[daytripping]

Kelt,

 

Pick one team for a win on sat, NO long shots, I'll add mine, lets see how far this sky diver will get us.

What's the odds on Sheffield Utd for a win?

 

Was just reading an article about some lad in 1959, put 2p on and came away with nearly 900,000 quid, tax free.

 

See if you can manage that

[Huntlysheep]

Cheers Huntly, it was a no option fight, they wanted any Aberdeen fans blood, thousands of them, they didn't bank on us taking it to them

 

Jim, If you ever went to Ibrox in the 80's you would know the score, it was bad at the best of times but that day we won 3 - 0, they also had a couple players sent off which sparked pitch invasions, afterwards they went radio rental, I believe we saved lifes or at least serious injury to run of the mill fans including women and children that day, it was raining bricks and bottles where our fans were coming out of the stadium, I don't want you to be impressed I'm simply stating a fact and am proud of my actions and those of my fellow fans that day.

I've read things like dayts but you da ken fit's true in the books etc, so it's good to get it first hand, you've got my respect!

[jassb]

Can't remember if anyone has mentioned Madness yet.

 

[BrianFaePerth]

 

Anytime anyone ever mentions Ibrox 85 I can stand tall and say...I was there.

 

As were you at Krakow 12, with differing results

[jassb]

The Jam. Going Underground. Just gets in, March 1980.

 

[jassb]

The Clash. London Calling. Released December 1979, but must have been in the charts in 1980 so I'd say it qualifies as 80's

This place has clearly changed. I was banned from here because I made a joke about the fighting in Madrid that was stupidly misunderstood as condoning the violence in Madrid.

Now it is totally acceptable to boast about your violent past.

The original was pretty good as well.

Happy Mondays actually sampled part of it too.

Lighten up jim ffs, we come here for a laugh.

[fatjim]

 

 

Getting emotional again dayts?

 

You've clearly went a bit soft in your old age.

Love that tune.

Jim should head off to Aberdeen mad. They're a cynical miserable bunch over there for the most part.

[fatjim]

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realise that fighting in pastel gay jumpers was funny.

 

Actually come to think of it it is fucking hilarious.

We sometimes wore Paisley pattern shirts as well, was too warm for jumpers on occasion.

Paisley patter shirts, peach coloured jumpers, wham and the pet shop boys.

 

Is there something you're not telling us?

 

Clearly the trappings of a latent homosexual.

[ChutneyLove]

I am disgusted ThunderWizard are being mentioned in a thread about the 1980s. We are most definitely all about the 2010s - mark my words.

[tightbreeks]

love the mondays song off the first album, where shaun starts...

 

ba bada ba ba da ba da ba... the everyone joins in all harmonius. the name escapes me.

[daytripping]

From that famous day in 85, this was walking back to the centre after the event.

Aberdeen's shame.
