The Mantis

It's in the gallery now but it won't let me post a link. You want a big version? Mind you it'll still no cover yer erse.

A medal for Imrie? Feck that!

Round about the time we got the 0-0 at Cabbagetown (when Dundee lost 3-0 on the same day) then a major win at Firhill a week later. Once we hit the top I knew nobody would catch us, not even LeeTheDee

That 1-0 win away at P*r*ick was a huge result and our first league win there since away back in div 2 days.

Just a few comments rather than a team. Derek Johnstone - it was indeed a travesty that he didn't go to Argentina, a great striker who himself preferred to play centre half. Incidentally McGrain got injured or he would have shone in Argentina too. Davie Cooper was absolutely amazing at club and European level. Didn't get many caps though, and I can't remember much apart from him scoring in the qualifiers against Australia and the vital penalty against Wales in 85. Possibly Davie Wilson did more in a Scotland shirt. We had many more left wingers who never really established themselves, such as Bobby Lennox, John Hughes and Willie Johnston. I once saw Narey and Hegarty partnered together in Cardiff - we slumped to a 3-0 defeat. I thought Ron McKinnon and Billy McNeill were able CBs but as a pairing you can hardly argue with Miller/McLeish. I must admit the only thing I can remember about Willie Donnachie is passing back to Jim Blyth in goals one midweek against Wales, leading 1-0 and totally dominant. Unfortunately Blyth had gone for a wander and the ball went into the empty net. People could argue that Willie Henderson was faster and more direct than wee Jinky and possibly more effective. The paranoid half of Glasgow thought Jinky was a victim of favouritism as Henderson got picked more often. Law and Dalglish are a shoe-in. Sheer class, and I'm privileged to have seen both of them play. Some great memories by just looking at that team above and difficult to argue with much of it, even without stalwarts such as Joe Jordan, Archie Gemmill, John Greig, Jim Baxter, Bobby Murdoch, and Tommy 'kick a German up the erse' Gemmell.

But if we need a passport for Dingwall, surely they need one to get out???????????? Edit - Oh sorry, I think I was getting 'passport' mixed up with 'inoculation'.

Teckle!

Na, I'm up there all the time, it's Baltic.

Dundonian guy - managed us for a while, forgotten his name.

It's a shame we couldn't show the County boys what we were made of in the derbies. You don't get 67 points and 64 goals by winning ugly every week.

Yes they are seniors. The term is used to differentiate them from the Juniors which are run under the SJFA. There is no equivalent in England EWS.

Ponds at the corners would be even better. Mind you imagine at County games, think of the pollution when the gudgies took the opportunity of a bath in them.

Propagandist, moi? :D Yes, as the famed chronicler alluded to, it was indeed the plural of 'act' which was picked up by my ever-twitching antennae.

Well they could try reading their tea-leaves, that would entertain them for about 10 mins.

Shame they never had SatNav back then. Sounds like your old man must have found himself on the wrong side of the river

Yaaaaaaaaaassssssssss!

They're not rivals now either :004:

Dundee to get humped. We can still win this league by 15 points.

Clicky thing

So Oor Wullie in place of Griffiths, and Fat Boab where?

And half the Caley team sitting in the stand.

To BUMP or to PIN, that is the question :023:

I'd like Culbokie FC to lose all four of their games and ICT to win both of ours. That way we will be 23 points ahead of them.

Bobby Geddes? He's even aulder than me :023:

Have to say you're well out of order there. The goalies are much better in primary school football.
