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

Several thousand people who will turn up a the ground tomorrow or who will follow the action from a far.
They would look at some of the nonsense spouted on this site over the last few days and feel bemused!
They work hard all week ,want their team to win at the weekend , they then move with their lives and wait for next week to do it all over again.
So many people need to get some perspective and get a B%&*dy grip !
