None like him. -
European shop. Look at the price tag. Could be ROI I suppose.

You’re surelynot telling me the Sco’ish Fitbaw Press Corps isn’t on an intellectual par with the High Table at Magdalen? -

It is. I didn’t say it was Greek. I said it sounded like Greek. I was ten years in Edinburgh before I realised it was Pilton and not Piltdown. -

The doddering old goats didn’t disclose the interesting bits. Probably still classified by the Air Ministry. -

I doubt that. Greek rather than Latin was spoken in the Pilton in my day. At least that’s what it sounded like. I heard Bob Crampsey talk on radio about the ghost commentary. The match was at Easter Road. Other broadcasters doubted the Mount Florida sage but Alex Cameron confirmed it as true. The valiant commentator thwarting the Luftwaffe was Rex Kingsley. -
Would Leeds ever finish a match with more than five or six on the park?

Most votes have been cast. The featured five are Sterling, Tavernier, Balogun, Lundstram and Sima. Remind me. What were we saying about them in September/October? A lesson for us all, myself foremost: do not rush to judgement. I wonder what we’ll be saying about them at the end of the month.

That header was Jimmy Millar style. Our other masters of the headed ball DJ and Hately would never have scored that - too tall. Millar could do the high jump stuff as well. -

No, you’re right but it was before my time and maybe yours too, probably pre-war. My earliest memories are Raymond “up go he heads” Glendenning and Peter “c’mon the Rangers” Thomson. They nor their successors needed zones. They just told you what was happening and whereabout. Alistair Alexander and David Begg were the last proper commentators. -

bbc used to do this for major vents. You could get the tv commentary, the radio commentary, crowd sound only (the best) or mute. -

Thanks. Great without the babble. I see trackside advertising for a forthcoming Scottish Cup-tie. The home club must be worrying about ticket sales. It’ll be ok. Buckie will take plenty with them. -
The Cup won and having been assigned to a boring task, I switched on to hear how they were all taking it. Remarkably well. The only participants I knew were Wullie Miller and Tom English. The verdict - a poor first half, better second and Rangers deserved to win it. Miller said this isn’t a great Rangers team (no arguments there) but they had more than one chance and Aberdeen offered nothing until the last ten minutes. when English arrived the discussion changed to whether his team are still favourites for the title. He thought they probably are because they can afford better reinforcements in January. I don’t know what the match commentary was like. I never listen to that. The closing discussions were calm and quite reasonable. Not the excited pandemonium that would have accompanied a Rangers defeat but not dour and grudging either.

The medals ceremony at Hampden was a glittering spectacle presided over by absolutely galactic celebs. Who was the geezer who handed over the cup with a face like thunder and then turned on his heel and walked away? -
The Villa beat Brentford away and go third level on points with Liverpool and four ahead of City.

Gave me a fright there. Thought the enemy had scored. -
No celtic treble. Question: will they win anything? ( @Rousseau’s ju-ju can take a running jump)

City draw at home, Palace scoring twice late on. City’s defence is porous. Have I mentioned that before? Everton soaring up the league table unless something catastrophic happens.

Very interesting competition, the League Cup. Some facts. Little-fancied Partick Thistle and Raith Rovers both won sensational finals against a club from Glasgow’s east end and it wasn’t Clyde. East Fife had won the trophy three times before that same Glasgow club had even got to the final. Rangers and Aberdeen have met in the final six times, with the Famous winning five including the very first in season 1946/47. The Rangers side that notable day was: Brown; Young and Shaw; McColl, Woodburn and Rae; Rutherford, Gillick, Williamson, Thornton and Duncanson Ever dependable Willie Rae in for Sammy Cox and Eddie Rutherford for Willie Waddell and unusually, Willie Thornton at insde-left. Jimmy Duncanson cantering about on the left wing scored twice and Torry Gillick and Billy Williamson once each for a 4-0 result. I demand the same score or better on Sunday, the goals spread evenly throughout the game. No extra time and no bad starts or nervy last twenty minutes. I’m too old for that sort of nonsense. -

This nonsense is as old as the hills. Rangers spend more time in the opposition penalty box than any other team bar one, so it follows they’ll get more penalties. Opponents with one exception spend less time in Rangers box so fewer events that could lead to an award occur. Add to that the fact that Rangers defenders aren’t renowned for their tiger tackling so forget conspiracy, look at reality. -
A work which has eluded me. Might have a squint at it on Kindle though that’s not the best medium for reading. Maybe a ps on the letter to Santa.
