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

Our Spanish defender Roman Golobart is pretty pleased to be player of the month again and likes it so much he has changed his facebook wallpaper to display his award. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000460518688#!/pages/Rom%C3%A1n-Golobart/127704480652598
Is he the first player to interact with fans on a regular basis, as he often adds a status to his facebook page, the latest being this one:-
