Richard, your patter's rotten. I think it was after the time the OF invaded the pitch and had a punch-up at the 1980 cup final. Mind you I was at a game in Luzern a few years ago and every time something happened on the pitch you got drenched in lager (from plastic tumblers)- just like the Barrowlands it was. In Scotland people just drank from cans so you never got beer over you, but then they pished in the empty can and either rolled it down the terracing (if you were lucky) or flung it over your head on to the pitch if there was a flare up. At Kingsmills I think it was babycham they chucked.

When was that then?

You must have been old enough to get blootered CMIB if that's the team as you remember it :023: And Charles, remarkably, now I think about it, I must have literally been a twinkle in my father's eye at the time, as it was 9 months later that the famous mandibles first saw the light of day :015: Anyway, the gospel according to Alex Main's book is: CALEDONIAN: Smith, Morrison, Doc Mackenzie, Bolt, Farmer, Mackintosh, Macfarlane, Baillie, Forrest, D. Mackenzie, Main. CELTIC: Bonnar, Haughney, Fallon, Evans, Stein, Ryan (Baillie sub), Tully, Boden, Walsh, Fernie, Mochan. Maybe Caley stars like Jupie Mitchell and Peter Mackinnon had to work that day? Otherwise Caley would have slaughtered them....

I believe Charles Bannerman sclimmed over the wall at this game and collected a few empty bottles. I wasn't born at the time, but my Caley book says it was October 1954, a Monday holiday. Caley's stand burned down along with a lot of the club's history in 1950. Crowd was about 5000, score was 2-2 with a typical Caley fighting performance, coming back from 2 down. Alex Main and Baillie scored for Caley, Evans and Walsh for the tims, who also had Jock Stein, Charlie Tully, Willie Fernie and Neil Mochan in what looked like a strong visiting team.

Good news for Bonzo though :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

Yeah but it's not that long since we were all posting shirts HERE

You knew I was proud anyway young fella, just like a son to me (well obviously you ain't got my looks but you know what I mean).

Gringo's jokes in 'turn for the better' shocker! :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

Woof!

FT Dees 3-2 County, P*r*i*c*k 0-0 QOS, Clyde 0-1 Airdrie. Never mind the playoffs, they'll be bottom at this rate...

Just as well Jack Nicklaus has retired then.

I've always thought it was very sporting of the wee team from over the bridge to give us all a laugh by struggling against relegation then staying up on the last day. I'd never want them to be in div 2 as both clubs can benefit from loan players etc, while there's just one league of a difference between us. However, since they beat P*rt*ck in midweek it's just possible that our old whingeing weegie pals could take the drop. That would be quite ironic since they had an incredible amount of luck to be promoted last season, finishing 4th and then being about 3 mins away from going out to Peterhead in the playoffs. With 4 games left, and C(o)unty 4 points adrift, it's very interesting. Today the cabbagemen are away at Dundee while the whistle play QOS at home.

That would be nice if it was true, trickle more than troop I would think :015: :015: :015: Given that Motherwell attract around 5000, I reckon we all know where the others go :007:

None of these terms is good enough for Herchie... Herch is a Legend!

I always wondered what the score was with him playing for a load of howkers like p*rt*ck. Must have had gambling debts or something :015: :015:

Pointless question. Both. They never play each other or play on the same day (many moons ago internationals did clash with the league programme, that would give you young feckers something to worry about apart from plooks :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:)

Another thing for Naelifts to feckin moan about :001:

:015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: :015: Aye just beat me Dee. What did Ena drink in the Rovers?

Re: The Masters You, yer a master o sums :001:

How's Jaiket Man?

You got an A pass and you can't factorise :015: :015: :015: I'm sure he'll be able to tell you how to do both of them! First, if you expand 5(2y+3) you just multiply both terms inside the brackets by 5 to get 10y+15. factorising is just the reverse. Look for the highest common factor of 10 and 15, ie which times table are they both in- answer 5. Now divide both by 5 and put it outside. Your equation is fine but your way will not work 100% of the time, so try: 4(3x+2)=68 12x+8=68 12x=60 x=5 BTW what is GCSE :015: :015: :015: :015: :015:

According to OTB they're allowed 5 loans in a season and AM is their 5th. BBC article refers to him as 'the Englishman' but I'm sure I heard once he was from Musselburgh :017:
