Fear & Lothian

On the bench and under cover.

Been under and over the Thames this morning.

Ominous looking corridor at the Excel, London.

Fall to pieces.

Getting late in the year for these guys, especially in Aberdeen.

Misspelling Bretain is terrorism.

It didn't cost us obviously but I said at the time yesterday, why on earth are we using VAR for a decision this obvious that the referee is looking directly at from less than 10 yards away? And how doesn't he give it in real time?

More Police than protesters, passers-by uninterested.

Zero positive engagement I should say, they got the middle finger from me and my 7 year old.

Sure enough, 3 or 4 absolute dangers with flags solidly outnumbered by decent human beings counterprotesting across the road. The fash getting zero engagement from fans walking by.

It clicked. It finally clicked. Karlsson looked a cut above, Lazetic has got sexy feet, Gyamfi and Jensen good on the flanks. Dundee guff but 4-0 is 4-0!

I know it's business but come on dons min, get this to fuck. Nae fash at Pittodrie please.

The other side of this view.

Red and white, underneath the banner.

Imagine there never being another original thought again because AI only refers to what's already there and humans have never learned or forgotten how. The end of creativity, the end of art, the end of innovation. And all it will cost is the collapse of our society and climate.

Actually enjoyed that. Never good to lose but that was much better than I feared. Asked for something to take a little positivity from and we got it, have to kick on from here.

That looks like a woman chasing the ghost of her past, or alternatively a young woman trying to outrun her future.

I'd like to think the pressure is off a little bit compared to the league, so we can get some kind of positivity to take into the weekend.

My most positive take is that it's a free hit. We shouldn't have any chance against a team of this quality, so let's just try and enjoy it and if we show up ok against them it's a bonus. If/when we get beat tonight it'll be because they're good, not because we're not.

Otherworldly sunset in miniature.

I'd love to see the club give some unsold tickets to asylum seekers. It would cost nothing, fill empty seats and send a positive messge. Also, a "handout" like that would annoy all the wrong people. They want them to "integrate", what better way than to share in the misery of supporting the dons.

I'll be walking past there with my son to and from the match. We've passed that hotel dozens of times now, day and night without the slightest hint of any bother from the residents. I'd sooner welcome any of them to sit beside me at Pittodrie than some racist protester.

"You people cease to exist and we'll stop murdering you".

Experimenting with a little LED light, jpeg as it came out of the camera.

Dons lose. Dons wifies lose. Vikings lose.

Not a happy sports fan.

I like the guy wearing an air Jordan tracksuit. Racists aren't the brightest.

New York, 2024. The reflection of "one love" in the giant flag on the armed forces recruiting station feels... odd.

How are you feeling/the depressed mind.

Saw this absolute survivor in Edinburgh yesterday, 1988 and almost 400,000 km. I remember as a kid and Espace seemed huge, it's about the same size as a normal hatchback now.
