I had John Goldthorpe and Jumbo Muir, plus, on at least one occasion, Keith MacRae. Good but not what was to come.

One of our all time greats (IMHO), those of us of a certain vintage got to witness something special when he and Pettigrew were terrorising defences. RIP Bobby.

You watched a different game from me. Our new style really suits S O'D.

I was trying to remember who the other goalie we had at that time was and I saw Scott Howie mentioned in the managers thread. Turns out Woods wasn't even the worst keeper we had at the club when he was playing for us, never mind an all time worst.

I didn't say he was good just not the worst we have had before or since. For me, and most of my age group, John Gardner wins that vote by a distance. His very name still causes me to break out in a cold sweat.

6 feet 2, and no matter what age you are he was far from the worst goalie we have had,

How do you know he doesn't speak the language? If he is as well prepared and advised as I suspect he is, he has probably been learning Italian for at least 6 months.

Are they twins?

I think my memory is of internal transfers, eg, Ferguson from Accies to Aberdeen. As I said, I may be wrong.

I think you pronounce his name cheating bast@rd, just in case anyone was in any doubt.

I may be wrong about this (I usually am) but I think when the compensation scheme was introduced, the fee was based on what the selling club offered as a salary to the departing player and not what the buying club were offering, This gives a huge advantage to the "big" club, but, hey-ho, who wants to upset the apple cart.

I worked in Glasgow for more than 40 years and knew many "fans" of both arse cheeks who had never set foot inside the stadium of their chosen club. The original point was that this fan had no knowledge of the group stages in the League cup despite his club's participation very recently. Or to put it another way, wind yer neck in.

They were possibly down the leagues then, he wouldn't have been supporting them at that point.

Maswanhise is the obvious choice, honourable mentions to Watt, Fadinger, Longelo, Just and AP.

The use of VAR now makes sense, Villa can hold a minutes silence in the 666th minute of the opening league game this season.

That was rather better than I expected tonight. The first half hour was a slicker version of last week and we were arguably a bit lucky to get to half time all square after falling off the pace for the last 15 minutes. We started the second half well and although the finish was scrappy, the build up to the opener had a lot of quality about it. I thought we were starting to defend too deeply and we would be under pressure for the rest of the game but the second goal settled us and we started plating well again. I'm not sure the pass for the 2nd goal was intended for Maswanhise but he controlled it and finished beautifully As for the third goal, just wooft!

It is .87 of a foot, there are 12 inches in a foot so 12 x 0.872 = 5 feet and 10 and a half inches. one advantage of being old is you can think in metric and imperial.

Toss up between Watt & Fadinger. I went with Fadinger for the goal.

Pah, Nilsson Schmilsson.

And in fact, I went into the office after renewing online and taking the digital option (I want my card updated) and was told that my card would be updated. The whole thing is as clear as mud and I suspect another visit to the office will be required.

Tough pick, I nearly went for Oxborough for the save on 45 minutes and Slattery, O'Donnell and Halliday all played well. Went for Seddon though, I think he gives a calming influence at the back that isn't there when he is absent.

FYI Dave, I was out and about in the region of Fir Park today so I went in to the ticket office and asked the question. I was assured that, having taken the digital option, my existing card will be updated, I will just have to wait till next season to find out if that does indeed happen.

It was the same for me, I went with the digital option in the end, I just hope I remember to charge my phone before each game. If you find out that adding to the card is still an option, let me know please as that would be my preferred choice.

But would you shed any tears about the 23 journeymen that replace them for next season?

Lyrics slightly different obviously.
