Liverpool hero centre forward has died. I never saw him play for Liverpool but I saw him often for Motherwell and Scotland with distinction. Small for a centre forward but sturdy enough and a scorer of goals. His Motherwell forward line, all diminutive, was a splendid unit. Reid, Quinn, St John, Hunter, Weir. Goals against Rangers always distress me but on one occasion, Fir Park, 1960, St John’s winner brought some compensation, 37/6 as FGS in the ‘bus sweep. That’s just under £45.00 in modern money. Lived like a lord for a fortnight.

That’s the way of the world nowadays, I’m afraid.

I saw no evidence of grooming. Quite the contrary. I know what you’re getting at, though, and I am aware of this individual and her competencies but only from your frequent references in this topic. I had never seen or heard before and with luck I’ll continue to avoid doing so. I doff my bonnet to you for your efforts in exposing PQ. Just cut her less slack in future.

Leaving Lennon to get back to PQM, I saw last night on Sky News the closing fragment of a discussion involving Alistair Bonnington and a bizarre looking woman, whom I had never seen or heard before, the latter grinning vacuously and hee hawing, as only weegie wifies can, about Nikla. The piece ended and the presenter thanked Bonnington and the apparition whom he named as Angela Haggerty. @26th of foot, be ashamed. You have been far, far too kind to this person. How can someone like this have an authoritative voice in national broadcasting? And Goon Shall Speak Unto Goon

Andrew Neil in a Sturgeon-bashing article in the Daily Mail: ”The Crown Office is in crisis. In a recent case involving the famous Glasgow Rangers football team it was forced to admit to a 'malicious prosecution' – legalese for proceeding with a prosecution even though you've been advised that you don't have enough evidence to secure a conviction.” A trifle misleading on the facts but the descriptive language is excellent.

He’ll be on Sportsound on Saturday or as soon thereafter as he feels up to it. PQ adore him.

Time to close the topic. Their plan, like so much else celtic, has failed.

Definitely not chota.

Can’t blame Lenny for that. Expect him as a constant presence on Sportsound from now on.

Not doing something is not necessarily failing to do that thing. Oh and never mind the ghastly celtic, let’s get after Forres Mechanics.

Great Medicine Man Rousseau has spoken.

Blofeld.

Oh dear.

I suspect that’s got something to do with it. @Gribz has already pointed out the loss of centre halves because of long-term injury and failure to replace them

‘ammers in a Euro place, cor blimey. Never thought I’d see that again.

Had to happen sometime. Klopp’s mantel on a shoogly peg? I wouldn’t have thought so but he might just get fed up himself and go for something else.

If reports are true it seems he compounded his folly by a false denial. Shouldn’t play again. Retain him but sell next window.

Then you saw the match on the telly and were disappointed.

That’s right. There was also an Aberdonian after Francey Derek Rae, an admitted Dons man as you would expect but it never coloured his commentary. Before Francey there was a chap Douglas Lowe and the voice from my cradle Peter Thomson “here comes Waddell, racing down the wing, a cross to Thornton and a goal for Rangers”.

Scourge of the bookies at the moment, old bean. City’s title now, right enough. Tremendous run after an erratic start.

Evertonians will be disgruntled with failure to beat relegation candidates at home. Three points would have seen them level with Liverpool. The night: Burnley 2-0 Fulham Everton 0-2 City

Did Archie do the wireless, bf? Don’t remember that.

You’re making me greet but that’s fossil football and we old timers just have to accept that the days of rip-roaring excitement with two teams trying instead of hoping to win are long gone.
