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
For those who don't know it, or who had managed to forget it - here it is: https://www.facebook.com/100079048004236/videos/you-cant-beat-an-own-goalback-in-may-1978-scotlands-willie-donachie-gave-us-one-/1608729533380674/

wasnt at the game ysterday so am not going to comment on performances, tactics, charlie, the stewards, the pies or anything else that was crap.
but what about giving big marcus paaters some credit??
the big lad has only started 2 games (sub in a few more) and hes scored 2 goals. (a scoring record which our strikers can only dream of just now)
from what ive seen and heard he has been a bit of a sensation so far!
ive been quietly pesismistic for months about our chances next season but this lad has given me something to look forward to... :021:
