Popular Post 26th of foot 5,825 Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 Tommy and I? Yesterday, I watched ra Sellik huff and puff around Tannadice. The newly appointed interim manager, John Kennedy looked quietly terrified as he walked along the track at half time. Like me, I suspect he had seen enough. The wife announced her intent to create a seafood pasta, linguini vongole. I decided to head out for an appetite improving perambulation. We all have individual and collective memories of the Journey, on the cusp of securing the title, I decided to take the car to the West End Park. After the Empire Exhibition of 1901, the West End Park was renamed, 'Kelvingrove Park'. Whatever the name, it's where our club was founded. Those teenagers from Clyder, Roseneath, and Garelochead had moved to Gibson Street by their mid-teens, apprenticeships and study were the means. They trained on the slopes of the park, running from the river up towards Park Circus. Such was their enthusiasm, they trained six days and nights a week and became known as, 'The Moonlighters'. The final whistle blew in Dundee as I alighted from the car in Park Quad. I follow followed in the footsteps of Moses et al, as I headed down Hill Sixty towards the Highland Light Infantry Memorial. I passed fellow bears, holding mobiles aloft to film detonating fireworks. There was a Police presence, pairs were approaching folks and inquiring of reasoning for being in the park in groupings? I turned right and walked along the river towards the Gibson Street bridge. I remembered Glebe Park, traveling to the Ramsdens Cup tie, not knowing if the SFA had granted the club the necessary license. Brechin topiary gave way to hospitality at Peterhead. Four of us journeyed to the Blue Toon and sat in front of half-a-dozen dandies, who kept up a steady stream of vile abuse. Receiving no reaction, they quickly resorted to Disaster ditties. We maintained discipline, even as Kevin Kyle equalised in injury time, we applauded politely. I had concluded polite applause was so yesterday when I exited from under the bridge, into the Kelvinbridge Subway car park. There was more of a crowd milling, apparently the Subway had been suspended? Two Coppers approached and asked my intent? As the pyro' increased, I assured them I was not intent on using the Underground. The older Copper asked if I was celebrating? I told him I was, "very much so". He smiled, his partner scowled; so I elaborated, "it's Brother Tommy's fifty-fifth birthday today". The chorus was, "WHIT"? I informed them of Tommy Sheridan and departed with, "up the Workers"! As I headed back to the car and my Sunday repast, I wondered why Brother Tommy had not regaled his 55th with a celebratory video? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,552 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 On hearing the result in Dundee yesterday, I socially distanced myself into a shop for a carry out and can't recall much after 7pm. Being honest, it hasn't really sunk in yet. I feel more disbelief than joy. ?⬜? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,108 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Mrs 7 had to take her car to the garage this morning so went in to drive her home. First time my car has been on the road in months so I thought it best after dropping her off to drive a bit more to charge up the battery. From the back of the wardrobe I had fished out the famous old reefer, vintage 1959 and draped it casually over the console at the nearside and took it on an hour long tour of town and county. I’d have flown it out of the window but I didn’t want any snp folk trying to set fire to it at traffic lights. I don’t normally do flamboyant celebration so I’m resting quietly at home now. I’ll have calmed down by morning. Maybe.. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
