That one is implanted in my brain! I can see it perfectly without having to look it up.
Middle of May, 1978. I had just finished my final exams, in computer science, at university.
Scheduling hours and hours of exams for thousands of students within two or three weeks - with a variety of halls and rooms to juggle, class sizes from single figures to well into three figures, and of course some people taking peculiar combinations of subjects - is no trivial task. In fact it was done by a neat program developed by a member of the computer science department.
The best bit about that was that he "fixed" the program so that the computer science exams ended first of all in the university - i.e. they were over before anyone else's. And the reason for this was to allow us to enjoy the Home Internationals, without exams getting in the way.
And what did we get? Willie bloody Donachie

Oh well that's the end of that then. It's a downer I suppose. :( From what I could see from my computer screen:
Fraser - :( :( :huh: - Didn't do much wrong but shoulda gone with Esson. Quite pleased he's gone actually. Nowt special.
Tokely - :( :( :33: - Did alright until he was send off. Prefer him at right back though.
Mihadjuks - :) :) :) - Not to bad actually, decent game but can't see him staying unfortunately. :(
Munro - :) :) :( - Okay
Djebi-Zadi - :) :) :) - A few fresh air shots and scary moments but an alright day at the office.
Morais - :) :) :( - Looked quite nice actually, and would've been better had he lasted the full game.
McBain - :( - Mr Invisible once again, shouldn't have been on at all let alone from the start.
Black - :( :32: - Complete liability. Did nothing the whole game and his tackle just after Tokely's sending off was just reckless.
Imrie - :( :D :029: - Poor game and shooting was just dreadfull.
Kerr - :) :) - Thought he held it together well into the midfield, shame his shooting was nothing special.
Foran - :) :) :( - Didn't have a bad game, but should've scored from his two chances at the start , especially the second one.
Subs -
Duncan - :) :) - Okay but not a right back. Should've taken an extra touch from his chance at the end as well.
Odhiambo - :) :) :) - Looked quick and nippy. Should try and hold onto him if it's possible.
Barrowman - :huh: :( - Did zilch when he came on.
Manager - Butcher - :( :( :( - Shouldn't have played McBain from the start, and far too many long balls. Esson should of been in goal as well.
Board - :33: - You are the weakest link, goodbye. Didn't sack Brew when they should've and ICT have payed the highest price.
