Hard to see past Bobby Mann...

Suggest you write to the SPL about it...ask them to postpone the start of the season for you. You never know, they've done dafter things. :tic01:

Similar memories Mantis. Although in my case we were in a heap along with the orangeade and cheese n onion crisps... :023: Those end of season home nation games were nerve-wracking. It's not just in recent times that following Scotland has been a bowel moving adventure. The Scotsman managed one of its rare items of worthwhile reading on the topic http://sport.scotsman.com/football.cfm?id=861292007 "Solid at the back, fluent in midfield and effective up front, MacLeod inherited a side from Willie Ormond which peaked in 1977. Had the World Cup been staged in odd years rather than even, then Ally's outlandish prediction that Scotland would win a medal in Argentina might even have come true. Although calamity on an unprecedented scale beckoned in 1978, the previous year was about as good as it ever got to follow Scotland. The midfield of Don Masson, Bruce Rioch and Asa Hartford was gifted enough to keep players of the calibre of Archie Gemmill and Lou Macari on the bench. Willie Johnston supplied the ingenuity of a coruscating winger on the left flank, while the partnership of Kenny Dalglish and Joe Jordan was among the most effective strike pairings fielded by Scotland in the past 30 years. At the back, Rough was a superlative shot-stopper in goal; Danny McGrain was the best full-back in the world; Gordon McQueen was a charismatic centre-half; and Tom Forsyth and Willie Donachie (Martin Buchan, Kenny Burns and Sandy Jardine were challengers for their places) always offered solid, reliable service."

Subjective description of 30% of the onfield activity never harmed my enjoyment of match reporting! :002: If only I could pick up the pen again Scotty... :009:

"The early goal in the second half changed the whole game. It was down to awful defending," manager Charlie Christie said. "It's a crux period for the club. I've been exceedingly loyal to players, but sometimes do wonder if we have enough quality." http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/sport.cfm?id=421792007

Greetings all...so are we in chatroom or forum thread for info on the Jambos game?
