  1. Yes, that was the radio clip I remember. Thanks for sharing, guys. Still shaking my head and smiling large.......
  2. Yes, an impossible, breath-taking goal that more than made up for RF's feeble penalty, and probably the greatest goal I have seen in the flesh. I heard Derek Ferguson's radio commentary at the goal later and it was hysterically incoherent, in a good way. I don't suppose it's still available now but he couldn't believe his eyes and reacted accordingly: hilarious stuff. I got so annoyed with Ian Bell's article I wrote an answering letter to the paper the following Sunday and got a bottle of Old Pulteney back, which I magnanimously donated to my thrapple. Lucas J's still knocking them in for Birmingham, so good luck to him, demi-god wot he is.
  3. Astonishing work, especially the weathering. The yella paint splashes in the aisles of the POD will be challenging, though .
  4. Thanks for that. That's the foatie I remember but I see I got the year wrong and I was actually there!
  5. A great reworking of the 1966 "Pat Delaney" Summer Cup jersey. Thanks, UBH, for cheering us up with these great designs in difficult times.
  6. For some reason I was in the enclosure in front of the main stand that night and almost grat myself, but that was because I was laughing so much at Andy's marvellous efforts. My only other visits there were for a Texaco Cup match (?) against Notts County and a game against The h**s when "Bomber" Brown deliberately drilled a hard clearance into the East stand. God knows what would have happened if he'd hit a wee kid. I was pretty disgusted by his behaviour that night.
  7. "Personally I prefer the 100 year thing, although it wasn’t that long ago that I helped in the production of a 125 anniversary shirt. That particular shirt sold out, and I’m sure they made some money from it. " It was the hoop wot done, it, UBH .
  8. My Killie pal thinks Davie Sneddon is in the foreground and Matt Watson behind on right. Where's Squirrelhumper when you need him?
  9. Thanks, Kmcalpin. I have an old Killie-supporting pal I should have consulted on this, on reflection. Will see if I can get confirmation. As a wee boy, my memory of Charlie Aitken *bows in respect* in the 60s was of this blond head towering above others at corners and powering in headers.
  10. Could/should be as per usual team of the time but I didn't think he was fair enough to be Charlie. Re the rest, yes, it is BR. Andy Weir was still in hospital, I think. "Willie McCallum marking Colin Stein": in oh so many ways! Ditto Peter Millar and Kenny D. The ned haircuts of the Celtic Corinthians look strangely modern too.
  11. Is that George Murray wearing 4 and are we playing Kilmarnock?
  12. Since some medical experts expect the disease to begin to peak here by late April, I think that's the season over and unrecoverable. Liverpool fans will not be happy. Look after you and yours, playmates.
  13. Yes, and Stevie's shies were taken a lot quicker in them there days...…..
  14. I'm thinking of youngsters like wot you are, Shaka, me old haricot. We need you lot for the future. I can remember the Great Enigma that was Walter Carlyle...……..
  15. I may be a CV-vulnerable wrinkly who's had pneumonia twice and been hospitalised as a result but at least this crisis has spared us the cringeworthy "Curtis Main will come back to haunt us" froth we normally have to endure in such a fixture. Since Friday night will probs be our last match for a while, I will proudly take my position on top of the POD and rain sarcasm on Cosgrove and the other Mutton Molesters from a safe distance. Tobar na Mathair gu brath, ya bass!
  16. Imagine if Yodo were a Hearts fan. Frog in a blender wouldn't cover it. Having said that, I doubt the court case is at the root of our slump. We have a small squad, most of our recent gambles in the transfer market haven't come off (yet) and the likes of Campbell need a rest but little rotation is possible because of point one above ( yet I still thing Watt has something to offer and perhaps he and Long can now be an orgasmatronic duo). Yet we're third and city teams like the Mutton Molesters and The Begbies are below us, despite carpet-munching results like last Tuesday. Unfortunately our next game is against the street-wise Staggies, adept at doing what SM just did to us, so Wednesday will be a huge game for our soffisticates. COYW!
  17. Throw-in switch unknown to me too; kicking ball away/blocking quick free-kick happens regularly w/o sanction; g/k timewasting if consistently applied would mean teams like Ross County/Accies/ICT/Livvy would end up with g/k suspensions; stealing yards at throw ins/foul throws or "shies" as I call them, much to the amusement of my younger neighbours in the POD, always get me going too. Rant understood. Having seen the highlights, I thought the tackle on Aarons was dangerous and could easily have been a sending off. But it wasn't. No doubt Darren Broadfoot can explain all, eventually.
  18. It was all so much easier in his first season when he drew his magnificent locks back into a scrunchy and Dunne The Bun was born.
  19. Unforgettable, so thanks. Fat Pat and Big Roddy dragged all over the place after Joe Wark's ball over the top until WP slotted it home into the bottom corner. Happy days!
  20. Except MJ couldn't get out of FP quick enough (according to McGhee).
  21. IMHO the Govan lot are worse for a host of reasons (and I had to go to primary school with them with only one Clyde and one Third Lanark fan for company) but I agree that Rodgers' behaviour that season was utterly sanctimonious hypocrisy, from cynically vilifying Bowman in a game his team was not involved in, the whole nonsense involving Kipre's "tackle" in the final (and take a bow, Craig Thomson) and his sneering at Alan Burrows "running round the press box with his computer" when McGregor did his U-99 act and they equalised in the last minute in the league game. The only consolation is that Sellick fans hate him even more for running out on them without his even saying cheerio to his "fantastic" players (or supporters, for that matter). The pair wee sowills obviously believed his bullshit about "the greatest supporters in the world". A plague on both their houses. Ya bass!
  22. Given our almost total dominance yet occasionally carelessness, I was actually quite relieved with a point: I was expecting a late breakaway from the Leithers and a totally-undeserved victory. We've maintained our distance from them and I liked our commitment to passing our way around the park. Amazing how often Scott roasted their RB to no final payoff. Polworth and Campbell were particularly good but we were blunt up font, though McIver showed up well against their plough boys. Thought Illic was pretty ineffectual. Hibs were very cynical and seemed to single out Donnelly for The Treatment and he was unlucky to be booked for his first notable foul, given Doidge's and Omeonga's behaviour. The Hibs' assistant manager (John Potter?) seemed to spend the whole game snarking away at the fourth official, always in his lug and standing too close in an intimidating fashion, yet it seemed that Jack Ross was booked for some transgression instead. Nice to see Big Cedric in the POD. Onwards and upwards...
  23. Nice picture and interesting match details. Sad that no film footage seems to have survived, but not surprising given the result. Fortunately, none survives of the next round tie against Airdrie either. *Bites carpet*
