Sone Aluko (Buckie + Highland League = Alcohol)


Worst team in the UK no more! Be gone I tell you. I'm seriously starting to wonder if i'm the Jonah? Nah, surely not. I've seen us win at home before.... I think?!?!?! When was that exactly? Ummmmm, no, me neither.

A great win for the Dons. And a wonderful goal by Sone Aluko. Although judging by the highlights, we looked a little nervy and rode our luck at times. See for yourself:

Match Highlights and reaction

Aberdeen 1 - 0 Kilmarnock.

But enough of that... I had another agenda on Saturday. Cue my alarm clock going off at 8.30am! What on earth? Yes, I had too many beers last night allied by very little sleep. Well, time to toughen up. I struggle out of bed. Pull on a hat and venture out into the cold to meet JoJo.

What is happening today? A highland league showdown, that's what. For some reason JoJo (a Raith Rovers fan... yes, I didn't know there were any either) has decided to follow a Highland League team this season. And to make matters even more bizarre, has chosen Clach, the fool.

Now, me being a Buckie boy, I couldn't resist a trip up to my folks to take in the game and hopefully see a win (although in saying that, Buckie are even worse than the Dons this season, nae luck).

So anyway, a nice breakfast at Beautiful mountain, a load of water and a shower later and i'm ready to hit the road.

We arrive in Buckie and hot foot it to the ground (we get in free and into the boardroom etc which makes a nice change and I see some of the local characters). The pie and bovril is also good (and not a heartburn inducing like todders).

The game itself? Started off so well, Buckie up 1-0 in the first few minutes. It all went horribly wrong after that though. 3-1 down. Down to 10 men. A late goal to make it respectable. Buckie 2 - 3 Clach. Why did they sack my hero, Big Dunc? Why is it so cold? Why can't I walk? All questions that needed to be answered (and were over several refreshers in the social club afterwards).

Chant of the weekend (from the Clach fans).

'The Buckie end, is always full.
The Buckie end is always full.
It's full of poofs, queers and wankers.
The Buckie end is always full'.

Genius.

So, a nice change from the Dons, but I have to say i'm looking forward to Tannadice on Saturday.

Season ticket count for Saturday at Pittodrie: 4 out of 6.
