After that (sub-Grizzly) joke, I'm glad I probably moved out of position and Sounessed you one . Was your football pitch not right beside the school? I thought I'd played on it once but it was a very long time ago........

He was absolutely rotten, I honestly hate criticising players past or present but this guy used to wake me up in a cold sweat at night. Having loads of brothers and sisters it was a luxury for me to get along to games when I was younger, everytime I seemed to go he always added another notch to his blooper reel. I know he played 100+ games for the side, he signed for the club when we were desperate for keepers, despite being installed as number one initially he lost his place to Scott Howie only filling in for injuries for the next three years or so. He enjoyed a run in the team in the 1997/98 season when Howie ubruptly left a week before the season was about to kick off, we had that guy Pegguy Arphexad in on trial but as his international clearance didn't come in time for a pre season friendly against Aston Villa the club didn't offer him a deal and we ran with Woods with Gary Gow as back up then eventually Scott Thomson, but in all honestly I believe the club was really skint at this point. He battled it out with Mikko Kaven for the spot the following season before Andy Goram arrived, Stevie actually managed to grab the no1 jersey from Goram for a handful of games but he scuppered that with a clearance against Killie all to similar to the one against Rangers in the cup. Andy seemed to have many injury issues which gave Woods plenty runs in the side. He eventually took over from Mark Brown if I remember correctly which was the admin season, the following year he went into the campaign as first choice but after his Livingston horror show he lost his place to Francois Dubourdeau. He was a better winger than a goalie. I'm sorry to say but the two worst keepers I've seen with my own eyes in a Well top are Woods and Samson and it's scary that both are current coaches in Scotland top league.

Young yins nowadays that complain about plastic parks don't know they're born. Bring back the old 'blaize' parks, there was even an old black ash one I remember used to be in Blantyre. Going to school the next day with your trousers stuck to the seeping wounds on your leg. That'll show them how real men learned the game !!

I played right back for Kirktonholme Primary in EK in 1965. That's all I've got.....

When's your trophy presentation? You can sit there acting superior to everyone all you like, telling us you're "ahead of the curve". There's still a difference between a fact and an opinion

Check my record mate. Whether it's defending Murphy and Clarkson from boo boys, being one of about three people in the support to call out Gannon from the very beginning to advocating Turnbull for the first team a year before it happened I'm usually pretty good at seeing the overall picture. And I got a lot of criticism over every one of them. It goes with the turf when you are ahead of the curve. Unfortunately we have supporters that I'll defend dross that sticks around while abusing good players that move on and kids that don't, or barely, get a chance. I get it, your loyalty is admirable. Except it isn't. Who's your best friend? The feckless yes man or the guy that tells you you need a kick up the back side from time to time? Take the last player I had a real pop at, Carl McHugh. Probably the same people defended him and did we miss him when we finally ditched him? Nah, we brought in Gorrin and Gallagher who were both light years ahead of the guy and we went on our best run of performances and results in about 5 or 6 years. Now there's a fact.
