Nobody paid £M1 until 1979, Trevor Francis to Forest. Greig wasn’t unknown in England and Gemmell was still famous for his Euro cup final goal. Hennessy is a bit odd. Mike England, Alan Durban even Gary Sprake would have been better. I don’t think CBFM was bothered about circulation figures in Scotland or Wales. Readers weren’t so touchy back then.

His first game for Rangers was at right back when George Young was out injured. I had to check the stats for this. Capped 29 times for Scotland at left back and 11 times at right back.

Admin, there’s a guy on here been defacing illustrious names. Ban him. Oh, wait. It was Admin that did it. Here’s the team. The defence is the easy bit, so strong that I don’t have to worry about defensive midfielders so Nobby Styles and Lee McCulloch have to sit this one out. I can run wild with attacking players but still have to omit superstars. Zoff; Caldow, Baresi, Maldini, Facchetti; Messi, Cruyff, Gento; di Stefano, Puskas, Pele.

Who’s gonna be second? Liverpool or Chelsea? (Both my early season tips as champions) Or the thoroughbreds coming up on the rails?

I’m just surprised he picked Ralston ahead of my granny.

Last games of the year. I wonder if I’ll get one right. Palace 2-0 Norwich So’ton 1-3 Hotspur Watford 0-2 Hammers Leeds 1-0 Villa Leicester 2-1 Liverpool Chelsea 3-0 BHA Brentford 1-3 City Toffees 2-0 Mags United 3-0 Burnley

I was quite successful last week with a postponed forecast. More adventurous this week with: Hammers 3-1 So’ton 'Spurs 3-1 Palace Norwich 0-3 Arsenal City 3-1 Leicester Villa 0-2 Chelsea BHA 2-0 Bees Magpies 0-3 United

They do. I expect Uilleam ran in three tries at Millerston, converted them and took over as emergency hooker for the last ten minutes when the first pick drowned and won the strike against the head in three consecutive scrums.

The current fixtures list is scrapped. The rhandom computer is churning out a new list of conventional fixtures for eleven clubs. Every one of the eleven has to write to the twelfth to ask when it can play. And for how long.

The Supreme Court decided on liability to pay. Still leaves the assessment of the sum actually due open to argument.

Interest and penalties would account for a bit of it.

Young folk can’t sing. They can only do a yapping chant. They don’t understand some tunes are meant to be slow. I blame all the jackhammer music they listen to.

Another epic, thanks. What a team the Hibs put onto the park. Well done, the Famous, to beat them.

More to the point, who was the lawyer?

Forecasting a postponement is probably the safe option. Villa 2-0 Burnley Leeds 2-2 Arsenal Wolves 1-3 Chelsea Magpies 0-4 City

That’s for Timothy to decide, isn’t it? Where does his advantage lie? Probably a postponement giving him a chance to narrow the gap and help towards fixture congestion.

Midweek matches take forecasters by surprise. If I had remembered I’d have gone for a massive home victory for City and a solid away win for the Villa. Can I maintain such good form? BHA 1-1 Wolves Burnley 1-0 Watford Palace 1-1 So’ton Arsenal 2-1 Hammers Leicester 2-1 ‘Spurs Chelsea 3-0 Everton Liverpool 5-0 Newcastle

I fear Ryan Jack’s career may be over. Great disappointment for the player.

There speaks the Accountant. No romance. (He’s right though)

Never a penalty.

Unexpectedly on the move this afternoon, my only access to a score was by sportsound and even that intermittently. Thank God because I couldn’t have tholed ninety minutes. It was angry. Very, very angry. An angry Paul Mitchell was commentator with an angry John Robertson and some other angry bloke. Rangers were 0-2 up when I joined and they weren’t much interested in describing the play. Instead I quickly learned from Mitchell that Rangers had lost their first away match of the season at Tannadice, relevant to today’s proceedings I know not how. Next, the intriguing statistic that up to today, Hearts hadn’t conceded a first half goal at home all season, a record only matched by celtic. At that point I had to attend to other matters so I don’t know what further gems of non-information were ofered I next joined at halftime into an excited debate among the commentary team about whether Rangers’ first goal was offside or if there had been some other infringement. The matter was settled more in sorrow than in anger by Richard Gordon in the studio telling them that pictures revealed the goal was legal. Suddenly, like Dracula rising from his coffin, an even angrier Tom Gibberish intervened to say that Rangers had been very good for about four minutes but before and after, Hearts had been the better team. Somebody must have drawn up the studio blinds because that angry creature vanished as suddenly as he had appeared but he’d thrown a comfort bone to the commentary chaps who picked it up and started gnawing at it confident that Hearts would get the next goal and it would be a different game. Luckily, I had to tune out for the rest of the programme. Force majeure aside, I would have switched off anyway. It’s many years old since I listened to that programme. Mitchell used to be not too bad. How @26th of footcopes with this sort of stuff, I do not know. Must be down to good Covenanting stock and the rigours of the Parachute Regiment. Double armour that I do not possess.

They are indeed. Not just memories of the heroes but of players with other teams as well. What a fine inside forward Archie Robertson was. Clyde - yes, Clyde - could field three internationalists, Robertson, Harry Haddock and Tommy Ring.

Is ‘Gers ok?

Get the battery checked again, old bean. It ran out of juice for some of the Sunday scores. Brentford 2-1 Watford (the world famous Ford hell derby match) City 3-1 Wolves Arsenal 2-1 So’ton Chelsea 4-1 Leeds Liverpool 3-0 Villa Norwich 1-3 United BHA 1-2 ‘Spurs Burnley 1-0 Hammers Leicester 3-1 Newcastle Palace 2-1 Everton
