I liked the old high terrace opposite the main stand at Easter Road. Fine panorama of the city if the action on the pitch was dull.

Anchors for sailors, daggers or “Bydand” or equivalent for soldiers. Only South Sea Islanders can get away with the demented pen designs.

It’s 5,000. Buckie won’t sell them all but however many turn up, they’ll out-roar the tims. Trawlermen are noisy buggers.

In a SC Final, they toppled a much fancied Aberdeen team that had taken six off Rangers in the semi.

True beyond doubt but some of them think they are. They do the gym work and have fancy outfits and special watches and things. Then the rain comes on and they have to go home.

Luton next at home. I recall when the Hatters were cup-finalists, losing to Forest. Tie of the round is at the Hawthorns with Wolves visiting.

Thanks. No wonder it all tastes the same. Even Innis & Gunn. O tempora, o mores.

Nuclear Missiles.

Score?

Dowell had injury trouble at Norwich, did he not?

“Bloody tunnel’s come up four feet short”

Maybe he’s in front of the wire looking in.

I wouldn’t bank on that.

A couple of them came on for the last fifteen minutes against Arsenal. Gunners schooled by schoolboys.

And they still go down like flies.

That team had season long stamina of mind and body.

But more expensive.

I think the “Jack” he refers to is the ‘keeper, Jack Butland, not Ryan Jack.

Like Gretna were?

Lammers wouldn’t get on to Alaves’ bench. Would Cantwell?

Brum have appointed Mowbray. Right move.

Not how I remember it but small screen black and white telly makes it hard to judge.

And Angelo Domenghini. It was 1965. I’ve still got the ticket. Roger Hynd was terrific that night. Thought I’d seen the new George Young. I was wrong.

Standout player at the 1966 World Cup

I think I confused myself with double ju-ju there. Pity the Board doesn’t have a resident witch doctor to advise on protocols. Best match of the round. Arsenal had five scoring opportunities in the first ten minutes and plenty more throughout the match but could do nothing. Martinelli came on and was unstoppable for five minutes then seemed t lose his touch completely. In the last quarter hour Liverpool brought on two primary schoolboys. They played like Bobby Moore and Franz Beckenbauer. Wednesday beat Cardiff City. Two questions. How did Wednesday manage to score four goals? How did Cardiff not score about six minimum from umpteen chances including two saved penalties? The Tyne/Wear Derby was a sensational spectacle of noise, fanaticism, hatred and colour, then the football started and it wasn’t so good after that.
