Bloody keyboards.

"Farmer, Kennedy, Grossart and no doubt Budge were all small time players until the Edinburgh based banks threw money at them" Is he referring to the Angus Grossart who actually founded a Merchant Bank?

I will be very pleased if I am wrong.

And to think we have to play football against these skunks.

WBA are on a downward slope. They let it go when they were safe last year and it's a bad attitude. They have punched well above their weight. Pulis has done a magnificent job. I hope he keeps them up. I like the Baggies. Someone on Talk Sport yesterday said they have the best record in the league for set piece play both offensive and defensive. If either Liverpool or Arsenal could have replicated Albion's efficiency they would have been champions.

Yoofa can't stop Rangers going to Court but their rules could stop their member associations allowing Rangers to play in their leagues. The Club could argue restraint of trade perhaps.

4.6 miles by road today or 2.9 miles as the crow flies. I suspect that the distance as the urchin darts would be less than the modern recommended mileage. Nonetheless it's no surprise the laddie was pechin' but I wonder if he went the distance or if there was a relay of urchins point to point.

You're usually a moderate voice on this Board, Davie. But I know what you mean. And you're right.

Taxation legislation always used to be construed strictly against the revenue and in favour of the taxpayer. Imposition of retrospective liability was impossible. Then George Osborne changed everythng. Not even Sir Stafford Cripps did that. SPL/SPFL membership is a private contractual matter which the celtic hyenas and their jackal cronies cannot adjust retrospectively.

Caldow, surely Boabie. The man was immaculate.

Peder Yoofa.

McKay was a terrific player. Hearts had him and John Cumming in the same half line. That's midfield for the youngsters like Frankie and Ian.

Only if we can get the bulk of the So'ton squad he played with.

How many? Baxter Caldow Law Smith (Hibs In the days when they were the Hibs and not Leith Pathetic) Any others? Cooper mibbees. John White perhaps Don't bother with Alec James and Hughie Gallagher. The world was a small place in those days. Be realistic with a benchmark of Pele, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Maradona and Zidane.

Is English spoken in Glasgow? I didn't know that.

Is O-C fulfilling his early promise? Or is he like Walcott? Nearly there but not quite.

The ghost of Tiger Shaw says naw.

The last Scottish team actually expected to do well was the team at the 1974 World Cup ln Germany. Could have beaten Brazil. Drew with Yugoslavia (Serbia + Croatia + Bosnia + Slovenia - now we can't compete with any single one of them) The team that went to Argentina might have done well with a decent coach. Before that, there were sides full of exciting footballers many of them Rangers players but I lost interest with Roxburgh, Brown, etc.

WBA is Evans' level but he could fit well at Arsenal or City. Neuther team favours a strong defence.

I like the Arsenal as a club but they've been wrong for a few seasons which seems hard given the number of top four finishes. Although they have that achievement they've never really been likely champions. Get a defence. Simple as that. Same advice to Manchester City.

Only saw the last fifteen minutes. Pena looks as if he knows how to play. He might be pretty good if he converts some of his body weight to wire. Wallace's thirty/forty yard diagonal passes into the penalty box are a forward's dream. Shame it's our box and the opposition forwards. I quite like the red and black away strip. How long will we keep Morelos?

I thought Mel Gibson's accent was very good. Sir William Wallace was a Clydeside shop steward living in a clachan wasn't he? None of this son of a Norman laird nonsense.

They got annihilated in one tame last year but I've lost count of the times I've been waiting for the slaughter but it never quite happens. If the horrible truth be told their record is better than ours. God, that hurts.
