craig 5,199 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 As someone born and bred in the Bloo Toon who spent many a youthful day in the old Recreation Park (now sadly a Morrisons) watching the Highland League fayre the thought of watching them play Rangers at Hampden in a Cup Final is rather surreal. A momentous occasion for you FS... hopefully you are still smiling after the game 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,489 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) I've read it three or four times and still don't get it, or its relevance to our match on Sunday. An otherwise excellent preview Rousseau, many thanks. Ok, I was going to leave it at that but I can't ��- "rousing" ??? For someone so clearly at ease with the English language, you pick rousing to describe our victory over Dumbarton!!! I'm certainly no wordsmith, but I can think of many adjectives I would use to describe that game and rousing wouldn't be on that list. Drab, dull, lacklustre immediately spring to mind, but I would also agree with historic, satisfying etc. Yes, I was thinking of you when I posted that! I think the poem works: It's about stepping back outside the 'nitty-gritty' to remember why we do things. In our case, winning trophies. The Challenge Cup is a trinket compared to what we've won in the past, but it is a trophy nonetheless. The performance was indeed "lacklustre", but the victory was "rousing"...IMO. Historic would be a nice way to go. You should have a go at a preview sometime! Edited April 9, 2016 by Rousseau 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,489 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) I'll miss BBC Alba and the unintelligible commentary. In saying that, I hope never to need it again. Edited April 9, 2016 by Rousseau 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'm in Oklahoma and when I try to view BBC Alba from here it shows this. BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
