Not quite your best, pete, but a helluva lot better than the subject of the OP.

VAA-LEN-CIA.

Been running through my head all evening.

Tonight, Big Dick announced that Jum Spence had been elected Chancellor of Dundee University.

 

Actually, Jum was unopposed.

 

Surely, another Dundonian such as Plug from the Bash Street Kids, Soapy Soutar, or the Bairn from the Broons could have stood? 

Rector, not Chancellor.

I think the modern way is for students to choose he biggest goon they can think of. Plug, Soutar and Bairn would have been wasting their time.

To me, she has no conflict of interest.  Simply working for the lawyers of one club is not a conflict of interest - she would have to be working on the Celtic account for that to be the case.  We have a better chance of proving conflict of interest if we scour her background for Celtic affiliations..

If she’s a profit sharing member in Harper McLeod LLPG there is a conflict whether or not she acts direct for the Separate Entity Club Like No Other. You might say the same if her salary has a general profit related bonus.

It’s getting rave notices on another board.

No thanks.

It’s not just the Pele save. (I saw McCloy do something similar for Motherwell against Neil Martin of the Hibs)

It’s the saves he made without the need for acrobatics because of his anticipation and sureness of catch.

Yashin, for one. 

Shilton, too.

 

 

Sorry. Got my mind stuck on English ‘keepers.

Yashin without doubt. 

The other grainy legend, Khomich; Maier, Buffon, Zoff?

I think it’s Banks.

Banks of England. RIP.

A fabulous goalkeeper, who, if he wasn't the  best ever, was certainly in the top handful. 

Handful? Who was better?

Shilton? Not quite.

Frank Swift was the legend ‘keeper when I was a wee boy but you can’t make judgements from a few seconds of grainy newsreel.

A chap on Talksport suggested Peter Bonetti. Fine if Haffey is the comparison but not Banks.

Seaman? Not as good as Shilton? 

Who am I missing?

Are Hibs fans happy? 

He was indeed, Compo.

I suppose we’ll be deluged with more soccer grief on the airways.

“Home end” - “two men....both from Aberdeen”

Couple of clues there?

That could happen. This won’t:

Fulham 1-2 United

Palace 2-1 Hammers

Town 1-3 Arsenal

Liverpool 4-1 Bournemouth

So’ton 1-1 Cardiff

Watford 1-2 Everton

Brighton 2-0 Burnley

’Spurs 2-0 Leicester

City 3-1 Chelsea

Wolves 2-0 Mags

Why can't Bill just accept that the B.B.C. is Hitler, that he is Neville Chamberlain and that Pete is Winston Churchill?

I can’t see Bill as an appeaser.

If the bbc are Herr Hitler and pete is Mr Churchill who is Bill?

Not Stalin, surely. Patton?

Put me down for FDR.

Here is the result of the match to be played later this evening:

Everton 1, Manchester City 3.

The team has to take charge of the game from the first whistle and then concentrate for 90+ minutes. Forget about stylish fancy stuff until they’re three goals up.

The players have the ability to do the first bit but can they all concentrate? That might be a reason to play Defoe. I think he’s got that ability.

Everton are soft toffee these days.

So, Liverpool haven’t won the league after all. Journos, eh? What are they like?

Twice a cup winner with Clyde. celtic and Hibs vanquished. Unbelievable.

Retired 1962.

Not going to happen, coop. Even if they were the largest party it’s unlikely thei seats woul be enough to form the goverment. Lab/Lib/Green coalition likely.

Now to repeat the mistakes of midweek:

Hotspurs 2-0 Magpies

Brighton 0-0 Watford

Burnley 1-2 So’ton

Chelsea 4-0 Town

Palace 2-0 Fulham

Everton 1-2 Wolves

Cardiff 1-2 Bournemouth

Leicester 0-3 United

City 3-1 Arsenal

Hammers 2-2 Liverpool

Yet another member of the travelling Irish-scoto commentating family. How do they get so many bbc jobs? I suppose the answer is that most of them are outside contractors not staff, but even so.

City stumble badly.

United come back for a draw in Fergie-esque style.

Excellent win for Wolves up to seventh in the table ahead of Everton.

Their ability to mangle a metaphor is phenomenal.

If you’re simple, best to keep it simple.

Forgot these games were on.

Gunners 3-0 Bluebirds

Fulham 2-0 Brighton

Town 1-1 Toffees

Wolves 2-4 Hammers

United 4-0 Clarets

Mags 0-3 City

Bournemouth 1-3 Chelsea

So’ton 1-2 Palace

Liverpool 4-1 Leicester

’Spurs 3-1 Watford
