George Cumming was also my Geography teacher at Earnock. Not a fan of the OF or their supporters.

My education was also very much delivered in the 1975 Airdrie cup semi. I still have the scarf I bought for that game in case I ever forget.

I remember that well. Was surprised walking to the ground just how many 'Well fans turned up.

The first game I ever went to was, I think, in the 70-71 season. From 1970 - 1984 (very much my formative Motherwell years) we only had a hoop on the shirt for part of one season, which is no doubt why I'm not as attached to it as some. Wulie P and Bobby Graham etc. will always be the claret diagonal for me.

You can't distill our lack of points down to one incident in one game. We've given away many goals that have cost us points and missed many chances that would have potentially earned us points over the course of the season. Just like every other team. That's why the league table is a good reflection of form over the season.

Most of the defensive mistakes I've seen this season have been in the middle. Casey, Blaney and Butcher have all been culpable with some horrendous lapses in concentration when marking or just giving the ball away. There was a long stretch this season when all Casey did was run about and give away fouls in dangerous areas. SOD has his faults too - every player does - but when he's on his game he can at least pick out a pass and a cross. I've given up now on seeing full backs that can defend well, because that requirement has been eliminated from the modern game.

Has almost no impact on us, but I'd be worried if I was a St Johnstone fan. We had 4 wins and a draw post-split last season. 2 wins this season would mean County have to win all 5 to overhaul us (or 4 wins, a draw and make up 19 goals). BTW. This is another reason I don't like the split. Top 6 teams having to take on teams fighting for survival is a huge part of the game and often throws up a shock result or two.

I remember Robinson saying James Scott didn't make good use of his size when he was with us, and still seems to be the case these days. It was only when I saw him standing beside guys like McHugh, Aldred and Hartley I could see he was a unit.

At least we didn't need an Aberdeen win. Take your pick...

Except all the times we don't, including coming back from 2 - 0 down last week.

The Netflix thing is just a hook that journos love to use. Same as "ex-Ranger" or "former Miss Kirkcaldy" (depending on the publication). It's a shorthand way of providing a background most readers are familiar with. If they used "current Wild Sheep Content CEO" we'd all have to look it up.

It all went downhill for The Record after they stopped running Angus Og.

I'm just looking forward to leaning in to the corporate synergy that leverages KPIs of the verticals in the intersectional market segments funnel as we disrupt the traditional leather based sphere projectile space.

Most of us were critical of those excuses too - I know I was. And if Motherwell Utd had a playable pitch across the street I doubt even Boyle would have tried that excuse.

That's supposed to have been happening a few times. Fingers crossed they finally do the right thing this time.

It's a tough call, but on balance I'd rather Dundee fixed their drainage and stayed up than Raith Rovers or Airdrie get promoted with their plastic.

I see Dundee's latest excuse is there has been more rain due to climate change - conveniently forgetting that every other club is operating in the same climate, including their friends across the street, but without the floods.

Never been a huge fan of Rangers and their statements, but hard to argue with this one:

It did get paid, though. Just took longer than usual because it was the first year MLS teams were in the scheme and their federation were trying to claim they were Tier 4 for the purposes of compensation pay outs. So it had to go through all the UEFA and FIFA bureaucracy until it was settled. In the end, when Cadden signed for Hibs, the fee had to be paid before he got his clearance. 'Flow talked about this on a couple of occasions including confirming that it was paid. Also, anybody who gives a footballer any credit for the brains to come up with a scheme like that hasn't met many footballers.

Looking through my old Society emails, I did receive one from Craig Hughes back in 2015 about the monthly subs. I think, however, that was aimed at international members as it also talked about making it easier for us to donate with the new Paypal option.

Of course, now Dundee are saying if it's cancelled it would just be rescheduled before the split.

Looking forward to that one being played at Airdire behind closed doors.

I thought that too, but the last vote showed the members were very much of the the opposite view indicating they would be willing to give up an overall majority; and by quite some margin.

That was the main reason I didn't think SK should be punted during our bad spell. The players obviously wanted to play for him and each other. That is always the best chance you have of turning things around. When a manager loses the dressing room, or when players start infighting, then it's pretty much over.

Gent is under contract at Blackburn until June 2025.
