jre posted:Its unrelentingly grey and depressing . Every loving building is made of granite. Every one. Locals still give you directions which include "turn left at the big grey building". It's also become really expensive because the oil industry is booming again. The beaches are amazing though, shame its usually -20 and hurricane force winds on them. Yeah, she was in oil too so that makes sense. Still sounds charming, silly locals adds to it's quaint-ness.

People in Edinburgh told me that Glasgow is a shithole full of chavs that will glass and then rob you, but I've never been there. I got punched in the face in Edinburgh though. I think the best areas in Scotland are outside of the cities with fewer Scots around.

When I went to perth the hmv didnt even have a rap music section, but it did have a whole isle for 'Scottish music' what the hell is that. Aberdeen was decent although when I was there it was -10 and snowing. Edinburgh I got way too drunk and fell asleep on a bus but I had a nice calzone. Still havent been to Glasgow though.

Aberdeen's seagulls come 2nd only to st Ives in Cornwall in terms of viciousness. When I was doing my apprenticeship we had to fix an air conditioning unit on top of a roof. We got up there, opened it up and there was a nest of baby seagulls inside. Turned round and the big mummy seagull was behind us with her pals about to attack. We had to run for the door with seagulls dive bombing us. At 16, I thought my life was over. Killed by a flock of seagulls. Generally I don't mind Aberdeen as a city. I despise the football team though.

That HMV is shut down now, much like all the nice shops in Perth. I think it's only a matter of time until they revert our City status.

It's not a loving city though let's be honest. It's a village that someone build fucktons of social housing around.

I went to Edinburgh this summer and it was very nice, although I did not like how pretty much everything that wasn't a restaurant or gift shop was closed after 6pm. It was weird to go out for dinner at 9pm and have it still be sunny outside. The weather was great though. I really wanted to see Glasgow, but didn't have the time. Welp that's my story

Pretty impressive stuff from the Dons tonight. Down to ten in the first half and still come out victors. That's what this club is all about - gritty determination and an unwillingness to give in. Next game they're gonna get gubbed  .

Can anyone tell me what matches would be good to watch this year? Other than old firm ones I never watched spl matches that much. Only now is it being offered on my tv so I don't have to stream. Haven't seen much of any team aside from celtic in europe either, so i dont know how good anyone else is. On top of that i keep hearing how so many teams are poo poo and im interested in seeing that in action. Lately the other leagues of europe have been boring, so spl might be interesting just to see something new. I'm interested in hard tackling, tough teams. None of that tiki taka attempting crap, just hoofballs and hard tackles. I'd point to like how blackburn played as an example . So yeah any ideas? And also i'd like to see whatever matches have good atmosphere, proper angry stuff. For example i like to see napoli or dortmund because they have wild supporters. And i know scotland has the highest percentage of population attending matches so i assume some stadiums are vibrant. Go on then, let me hear some points in favor of the good teams to watch. Thanks.

Watch Aberdeen's away games for good crowd atmospheres, and New Firm derbys between Aberdeen and Dundee United. Ross County play good hoofball (since I'd seen them last, at least) and are proper physical. Partick Thistle are a lot of fun, actually, with some good fast attacking football.

Hibs v Hearts tonight would have been a good one in terms of proper angry stuff because its a city derby and their fans loving hate each other. The spfl has got more interesting since the demise of Rangers as the mid table teams now have a much more realistic chance of Europe or winning a cup, particularly as Celtic seem determined to get hosed out the cups embarrassingly every year, See Celtic v St Mirren, or Celtic v Morton. Motherwell v Hibs on sunday, or Aberdeen v Thistle on Monday should be decent enough, if you like that sort of thing. Basically matches involving the bigger teams ( Dundee United, Motherwell, Aberdeen). If you want a team to support you may as well go with Partick Thistle as its a safe answer if you ever make it to Scotland
