  1. Mine too. I've never seen such a supine capitulation.
  2. There was a League Cup game at Hampden against Oldco and we were getting so thoroughly trounced that I left at half-time and missed a Tommy McLean hat-trick. For Killie, I hasten to add. We still got beat, but I would have liked to have seen Tommy's goals.
  3. Two former St. Joseph's boys, Billy Shepherd and a very hard wee midfielder called McDonald, whose first name escapes me. I can find no trace of either in the official records, but am certain they turned out for the reserves in the early sixties. Anyone remember them ?
  4. Very Awful Refereeing. That's what it really stands for.
  5. If Donnelly's head wasn't a polyhedron, we would have scored two. At least.
  6. That mean-spirited, dingy corner with its close up view of the girders is an insult to travelling supporters.
  7. Apart from his first three games for us, Wright has been poor. I'd have kept Sanders and punted Wright. He's worth a goal a game to the opposition.
  8. "Unintentionally" as well. You're on a roll here ! Or a role, as the full compliment of shoe-ins for pedantic post of the year would say. Don't worry, I don't know what it means either.
  9. Love the double negative. Aye, right.
  10. So was I, but it was nothing compared to the grief I felt when Tommy McLean was transferred. As for Jackie McInally going to Motherwell,of all places, by then I'd got inured to the departure of childhood heroes and just shrugged. Which is odd, as Jackie left before Tommy !
  11. And I would want Hendry on a two-year deal. Stil can't understand why we let him go without making an offer.

    A winner ! Jackie was captain of Motherwell at the time.
  13. When was Jackie McInally on the winning side against the Spurs team that included Peters, Gilzean, Mullery et Al. ?
  14. There's a report that gives his goal as a header. You saw a mazy run. I saw a sclaffed toe-ender in a packed penalty area. But then, I didn't see Beattie handling the ball against Hearts either.
  15. What about the year he was on strike ? Are you including that in his career ? I remember his goal. Must have been from six inches and he very nearly missed.
  16. And is a very decent player, by the way.
  17. Manchester City, because they signed Bobby Kennedy, thus giving us the cash to build the stand now known as the Frank Beattie.
  18. And America joins the chat...
  19. That celebration was potentially dangerous for Rory and others. Really over the top. Big,heavy men piling on top of each other and risking injury stupidly. What happened to a manly shake of the hand or bluff slap on the shoulder?
  20. There ain't no Sanity Clause... Groucho Marx.

    Ooh, the savage burn ! As a major pedant I love it when others stick the orthographic boot in.
