Pettywulliegrew-2

Correct I’m a great believer in the mathematical confirmation of safety

Always remember a vey animated Wilson Humphries reciting poem when I was in second year in Dalziel 76/77 “The Green Eye of the Yellow God” where as Hynd was a bampot of a PE teacher, always remember coaching the school team and him telling us to rip out earrings of opponents ears

Agree .......if yer maw had baws scenario.........goal wrongly chopped of at Easter Road, injury time goal lost at Tannadice, and Irwins dive at Love St....would have seen us needing a point next week to seal top 6

Taught by both WH and Hynd........also taught by WH wife who was a primary school teacher at Calder

Unfortunately after his last cap against England at Wembley in 1965 when he scored the equaliser in a 2-2 draw, he made a statement to the press to the effect he wouldn’t play for Scotland again until the then “selection committee “ let the manager pick the Scotland team .....press reported that he no longer wanted to play for Scotland .....unfortunately was never selected again.......was referring to England who had changed their “selection committee” to Alf Ramsey the manger picking the team Used to be the Scottish based “selection committee” chairman etc etc decided who was picked for the squad and who played,the manager was basically a patsy Aged 27 had just scored the winner in the FA cup final and won the league next season ........regretted making the statement.......all from his autobiography.........was 10 when he was our manager

Definitely a Calder boy ( like me) ........mentions the school a couple of times in his autobiography playing in a cup final and on ash park and the ball having to be fished out from the River Calder Lived in Scott Street

Also got the H#ns visiting on Wednesday evening

At home scored 13 lost 28......away scored 15 lost 18....let’s play more away games

Tremendous victory today.......but still a long way to go....next couple of games are massive for us Accies v St Johnstone on Wednesday night uses up one of the games in hand they have against us....home win drags St J right in to the mix hopefully a draw/away win Ross County v Killie next Saturday really is a must win for both .....again a draw wouldn’t be the worst for us, Accies away to sheep hopefully home win, and St J are at home to Hibs again away win would probably best for us Again a home victory next week against Livy would be a massive victory in our quest for survival, without hoping on other results re post split fixtures.......we will have played 16 home and 17 away....think St Midden will pip Arabs for the top 6 as Arabs have Celtic/ Aberdeen Going by fixtures already played should be away to Arabs , Accies,St John and at home to Killie and Ross County........are we going to have more away games or have someone 3 times at home ?

Embarrassing display out fought/thought by a team who have now taken 9 points from us this season......6 of them thoroughly deserved. For me Accies bring nothing to the SPL table, poor support/plastic pitch/shite day out etc etc............and we still have to go there again this season, and on today’s form the top 6 is LA LA land........from the bbc Hamilton have had the better of this fixture in recent times, winning three of the last four matches, and it could not have started any better for them during a nightmare opening 31 minutes for Motherwell. Ryan Fulton in the Hamilton goal rarely touched the ball never mind being forced into a save as his forwards made the three points a certainty with a clinical display.

Ditto...let’s get this lot and their plastic pitch relegated ...unfortunately we have gave them 40% of their victories this season FFS !!!

The main reason Ravenscraig new town never happened was the owners of Hamilton and East Kilbride town centres ( possibly the same company) argued that the legislation NL council was using under “ new town” was illegal .....so they opposed it in the Scottish courts and lost....they then took it to London and lost ,knowing they were not going to win, as it would stall the development ...this took place over the early to mid naughties .....then the financial crash

Kirky NL council currently progressing with new route which will link Ravenscraig new town with M74 then M8, includes a massive roundabout at top of Airbles ,with South Dalzeil church,Evans Hallshaw , Cook and Indis ( old Halfords)all disappearing ,which would give quicker access to from FP The project is being delivered in two parts Ravenscraig Access Infrastructure (North) Upgrading 3km of the A723 to provide a dual carriageway and shared footway/cycleway from the New Craig Road junction at Ravenscraig to the M8 at Holytown. Ravenscraig Access Infrastructure (South) Creating a new road link and pedestrian and cycle paths into Ravenscraig from Airbles Road, and continuing to the Regional Sports Facility. It will include a new road crossing of the West Coast Main Line railway, as well as junction and carriageway improvements on Airbles Road at Hamilton Road (A723) and Windmillhill Street.

Good guy

Signing off........goodnight

A bit.......had just started the second year of my apprenticeship when it was released........had a wee refresher this afternoon....superb debut album

There’s a blast from 1980

He scored a screamer against us in the cup for IcT FEB 2016...Jordan Robert’s

Haven’t heard the interview....... but in the relation to what bb has said above, at the time I thought it was a bizarre decision to bring on the young Dean at the time , when you take into consideration the terrible run we were on and bring on a player who had not kicked a ball all season , not as if there wasn’t another midfielder on the bench, ie McGuire who he had brought on the previous game against the sheep late in the game.....or his wonderful McGinley..........extremely poor pointing the finger at somebody else......it was his decision

Goals make all the difference to forwards...the one at Hibs was disallowed incorrectly.....the Arabs game I thought he just out muscled the defender, only 3 starts and we were unbeaten in two off them, then was off the park when we lost the late goal against Accies, he spent most of the time on the park as a late sub chasing games with another 10 players trying to get that elusive equaliser we never managed till last night. Did he get a fair crack in a very poor/ mediocre Well team ??? .......Immaterial now he’s gone Just heard he’s getting better money at RC

Lucky you

That’s what really annoys me .......these clowns are incompetent but are allowed loose on everybody except Glasgow finest, until the incompetent referee supervisors deem them to be “incompetent enough” to be “promoted” to the holy grail of the “Old Firm”...........we really are a joke league

Finally got round to watching the bbc highlights..........other than the blatant hand ball/arm in an unnatural position......the Polworth straight red card for swearing mysteries ...........the yards stolen by Kennedy for the free kick for the goal was about 20 yards from where ODonnell handled the ball and where the kick was taken, making it far easier for him to put the cross in..............which gets me back to our referee situation in Scotland again...Craig Napier been refereeing for over 7 years never had game involving the Ugly sisters......not a single one ....so how come he’s not good enough for them ( do they have different rules ???) yet he is good enough for the rest of Scottish football.........Monday .lockdown blues
