Yep, he’s stepped up & saved the day before, so its telling he couldn’t get a tune out of this shower of gutless losers, I know who I blame most anyway, & its not Leven. Turned down other jobs too while he’s been here, so while I think the time is right for him to go - for his good as much as us - as we need a complete reset at the club, he absolutely goes with my best wishes. I’m sure he’ll pick up a decent managerial or coaching gig soon enough…

I think we knew it had happened or was happening. Some of the vitriol aimed towards him was way OTT. Was a bawhair away from getting us to the cup final in 2024, whilst interim manager and gave us a respectable end to a shit season. Looked a broken man after the Dunfermline game, just like Jimmy T did too, towards the end. All the best Peter.

Utopia's never happening. Too many vested interests and it'll skew the blessed free market. 15 minute city is a sound premise, but see the above regarding vested interests and the blessed free market. Then you factor in the usual right wing troglodytes banging on about (their version of) freedom and it's a non starter.

Every year at our place, we get around £60 a head for the Mad Friday thing, which for around 300 workers, is quite a sizeable chunk of cash for folk that can easily pay their own way. During lockdown there was no shindig and they donated the money earmarked for it to charity, fair enough. I then made the suggestion that we should do this every year and pay for our own Mad Friday. I pushed for the funds to go to schools in poor areas. To say the reaction to this wasn't well received was an understatement. The entitlement was off the scale. I was genuinely taken aback by the abuse I got for suggesting it. I don't partake in Mad Friday and I also lose 10% of my yearly bonus because I won't do the charity stuff linked to it. We're meant to do it and post about it on the internal social media thing we use. Makes you want to boak. I still struggle to see why I am sort of being pushed out, as the oil industry up here dies. Was it something I said. I'm of the opinion that Utopia isn't happening in any of our lifetimes. No shit I hear you all say. You see the money being used to blow up the middle east and think how easily most of societys ills could be fixed if they really wanted it fixed and resources were used correctly.

In a nutshell, why utopia will never work. The middle class should be up against the wall for shooting, along with the upper classes/super rich. I'll go out on a limb and say they are even worse than the upper classes, as at least upper classes hate the poor and don't want to mix or help them in anyway. I respect that honesty. The middle classes are patronising as fuck. They may want to help the poor, but on their terms only. They happily want to do charity stuff, like take in smart price beans, for food kitchens. A big thing at work the past few years has been giving and doing stuff for Abernecessities. Nobody asks why we have to do this. Nobody gets really angry about it or would really change how they live. Come Council Tax increases or Labour/ SNP increasing something and it's knives out against the minks and asylum seekers. Don't even start them off on what the council estate has done to Countesswells property prices. I work in a middle class profession, but I don't live in a middle class area or have middle class friends. I'm still a grade A Torry mink, through and through and proud of it. You should hear a conversation in my work, when I tell someone where I live. It's priceless to watch their faces. The idea of a 15 minute city appeals, but the reality would be very far from utopian. I mean, who delivers the takeaways? Even in Masontown. Which let's be honest, does sound very hunnish, in a role up trouser leg and funny handshake kind of way.

You've definitely jinxed it, especially as I'd imagine St Johnstone would be quite happy to take a point.

"Alignment" Modern managerial wankspeak. No matter how bad VAR gets, they just want the individual authorities to parrot the same shyte, when defending VAR. The common ground should be to ditch it. It's been tried and hasn't really improved anything.

You buy tickets online for Aberdeen games and you get asked for donations too. The fans project and community trust I think. Get that shit right in the bin Our works CEO is on $20 million plus a year and likes to do his thing about serving our communities to make them better places by giving back. I have pointed out our tax planning to ensure our tax exposure is the absolute minimum in every region we work in, goes against this principle and is why I don't partake.

Just on the subject of charity, I don’t want to make a donation when paying for my shopping, I can pack it myself and I dont want to chip in on my way out to the poppy foundation either. Fuck right off.

I did say the name needed some work
