The state County are in, a postponement suits them very well. Long time since I’ve been in Dingwall but even in those days they were able to receive weather forecasts. Hmmmm.

A close associate of Father Christmas presented me with one of these yesterday. It’s excellent. If anybody’s got it, is the chap behind McCoist in the February photo Erik Bo Andersen?

A good old fashioned coupon buster at St James. Hope Villa can whack United tonight.

Yet the others didn’t do much in it. Beat MTK Budapest or something.

🎵 Woooaa hokey cokey cokey🎵 Is it ok to say that?

“1st incident - Motherwell player handballs it 2nd incident - Motherwell player pulls on Dessers shirt before flailing to the ground 3rd incident - Butland gets his face stamped on” 1. Accidental from other player’s deflection but don’t ask me what the law is. 2. Who gets whose shirt first? Looks to my aged eyes that Dessers is the instigator. Penalty. 3. Red card for the hurdler.

That was reminiscent of Aberdeen v Rangers. ‘Gers miss chance after chance then Ferguson scores with minutes to go.

Sunderland whacked 0-3 by Coventry. Storm of booing and mass exodus when the third went in.

Some sympathy for McNeil. He endures Jimmy Millar, lord of the leap, then along comes Jim Forrest, rocketing past him on the left, disappearing into the distance on the right. When Lawrence sacked Forrest he ruined Forrest’s career but he saved McNeil’s.

5’6” but he looked taller than that, more 5’8” but you can’t argue with stats. Could outleap McNeil no bother.

That’s a good one. When Rangers were signing Mikel Arteta the Spanish press were calling them Guardabosques. Försterei sounds much better.

A Christmas Broadcast from the King. (I don’t think his new backing group wii go far)

I speculate Easter. Not necessarily Easter 2024.

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?

Five minutes.

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.

Good luck to Sunderland, with Michael Beale.

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.
