Blackburn Rovers have fallen away a bit. They have to beat Leeds at home today. Preston North End v West Bromwich Albion. A well remembered FA Cup Final of my younger day.

Your old dad was right.

I think you may have underestimated the Hotspur’s Spursiness. Cottagers to win. Brighton 2-0 Southampton (Result 1-1) Wrong again. Brentford 2-2 Leicester Palace 2-1 Newcastle Forest 2-0Ipswich Wolves 1-1 Bournemouth West Ham 1-3 Arsenal Chelsea 2-0 Villa United 3-0 Everton ‘Spurs 1-2 Fulham Liverpool 0-2 City

That is just so unfair. They won’t turn the cows onto a ploughed field.

Unless Igamane has discovered his inner Alfie.

Young was a magician. Alex Scott scored. Wullie didn’t. I was in the second month of my apprenticeship on £25 a month so couldn’t afford the bus.

Cerny was written off after only a few games. Tavernier has not performed well at all this season nor last.

He does. He’s a footballer. Some observers were too quick to judgement.

The Hibs did all right in the first incarnation of the European Cup going out in the semi-final to Rheims who were top frogs at the time with the famous Raymond Kopa.

There was a very entertaining goal in one of last night’s matches. A team’s high-scoring winger picked up a clearance midway in his own half, carved his way backwards past some of his own defenders and struck a beautiful pass to his centre half unmarked near the penalty spot who with one touch controlled the ball and guided it it into his own net well beyond the reach of his keeper who for some reason had wandered off in the opposite direction.perhaps to inspect the penalty box line marking. Rewarding viewing.

With notable clubs in the running

See above for excuses. We also won a bike. The team was the same as beaten by Nice just shifted about a bit and Kitchenbrand in for Logie.

“Harsh” is the least they deserve.

Even these stalwarts in the end were unable to overcome the wiles of continentals, skilled in the black arts aided and abetted by a referee suggested by Scottish pressmen (staunch in those days) to be not quite neutral. (George Niven is number five in my ranking of ‘Gers ‘keepers.)

Many players lack self confidence. I wonder how many actually want to become confident. The team needs a Shearer, a Greig or a Gough, even a Lee Wallace to drive them on

I did. It just seemed credible.

Good God, man. Even I know that’s long gone.

What the heck happened to Chelsea? They’re third just one point behind City.

This XI put on the best Scotland performance I ever saw at Hampden against England in 1962, an easy 2-0 victory. Alex Scott roasted his opponent but that wasn’t enough to get him into Rangers’ cup final team the following week. A young lad Willie Henderson was picked instead. The photo was taken at Love Street during training. I copied it from the outstandingly excellent website, Scottish Epistles Football Magazine. Brilliant photos. Highly recommended.

Cameron at Dundee. The Shankland of last season..

I read plenty of moaners - I’m one of them - but that scares me.

Why has it taken do long? Why were fans not consulted? Asking for friends.

Did he!

Were they not 13 ahead by October in O’Neil’s second season or is that a distorted nightmare memory? Your point is valid, though. The League has been gone for some time. Correct as is the rest of your summary. Hagi can take a shot at goal and is generally more forward going than Diomande. Hagi, Barron and one of the other two might be the best pick. Could do with a proper destroyer. Actually two. One in midfield and one in defence.

He was maybe defence coach this week.
