I attended my first match against Third Lanark in August'63. I have no memory of a Scottish Cup match against Duns. What league did they play in? Did Jim Clark put money into the club? Where do they play now? Check your dates 26 You may have been going to Ibrox for longer than you think Aug 61 or Aug 62 Edited June 24, 2021 by gaspard 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was August'62 at Hampden for a League Cup sectional game. We won 2-5. I have found out Duns FC played mostly in the East of Scotland League. Currently, they are in the B League of the Borders Amateur League. Their nickname is, 'the Dingers'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMc 2,766 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 There was an interesting exchange between Neil Lennon and the SFA's Ian Maxwell on this morning's BBC Scotland Euro Breakfast radio show. Lennon continues to peddle his 'we were treated differently over Covid' line and Maxwell's response left him floundering. It's telling though that it took another guest to correct Lennon rather than one of the money journalists BBC Scotland Sport employ. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 26th of foot 6,084 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2021 Professor Jason Leitch is a Civil Servant. I am on record in this thread as being appreciative of Professor Jason Leitch's contribution to BBC Radio Scotland. I thought his involvement on 'Off the Ball' every Saturday these last 15 months, was innovative. The former Dentist is currently the National Clinical Director of the Scottish Government. His weekly 45 minute appearances have reached a different audience, keeping Scottish football supporters abreast of developments reference the Covid pandemic. Leitch was particularly adept in the Q and A sessions hosted by Cowan and Cosgrove. If he didn't have or know the answer, he said so and promised to get back with the answer. Last October, he was a target for both Neil Lennon and Peter Lawwell. The first Old Firm game of the season had been mysteriously held over to match day eleven. Peter was determined ra Sellik would have a home crowd of some sort(mostly corporate) in attendance. The Airdrie Prof' stood firm and utilised science in deflating growing pressure. Similarly, he played with a straight bat over ra Sellik's Doobyeee fiasco, Rangers supporters title celebrations and, the various players that contravened the regulations. Overall, I conclude he has been the very epitome of a Civil Servant. He works for the Scottish Government, not the political party that makes up the government. The Scottish Department of Health and Social Care got itself a new Boss at the start of this month. Jeane Freeman wheezed her last gasper, retired and Humza Yousaf was appointed Cabinet Secretary for Health. Humza tells us he enjoys both watching and playing football and has a lifelong affection for ra Sellik. Ten days past, I thought the footage of the ever vane Humza replete in suit on a five-a-side pitch, kicking the ball into an empty net was rather unedifying. We know striking a ball into an empty net is Humza's strong suit, it was the backdrop of Professor Jason Leitch applauding and shouting encouragement that produced clouds in my coffee. Last Friday, Scotland travelled to Wembley and deservedly secured a nil-nil draw. Twenty thousand members of the Tartan Army followed, ignoring the whispered demands to obey regulations. The London Mayor, Sadiq Khan warned there would be no Fanzone; but he was ignored too, as two several thousand strong groupings of refugees from Brigadoon gathered in Leicester Square and Hyde Park. Today, we know there has been a big spike in Covid infection among the demographic 18-35 year olds. It will be decreed anecdotal evidence but another beloved source of reference of Off the Ball, the Pie and Bovril website has a thread, 'Scots in London' where a dozen or more posters are telling of testing positive after returning from Wembley. The Euros have been a klondike for Cowan and Cosgrove, Off the Ball has been on everyday during Scotland's participation. On match days and Saturdays, there has been two shows. Last Saturday, for the first time in 15 months Jason Leitch was NOT a 45 minute guest. Cosgrove and Cowan did not mention his name and did not explain his absence. The same on Sunday and the four shows after that, culminating on Wednesday. Maybe, we will receive an explanation tomorrow? We know Cosgrove and to a lesser extent, Cowan would not want him facing the awkward and inconvenient questions arising from Wembley. However, I wonder has Humza pulled him? BBC Scotland has created a smoking bing of hypocrisy in their different conclusions to Rangers supporters gathering to celebrate the title win and celebrating the chaos of Leicester Square. Cosgrove labeled Gers fans as, "simply a disgrace". He penned a column for the National and took to TalkMedia with Dr Eamonn O'Neill and Angela Haggerty to say modernity had caught out celebrating Rangers supporters. Humza accused those in George Square of, "vile anti-catholic bigotry". Does modernity effect the Tartan Army, has Humza viewed the numerous videos chorusing, 'if you hate the fcuking English'? If Professor Jason Leitch reappears on BBC Scotland, he can only be viewed as someone prepared to scale the toxic, smoking bing to crow. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) There can be no senior positions in government, the media, police, judiciary, education, healthcare or the Civil Service for people who don't obsequiously take a knee to nationalism. Any aspect of public life that depends on money or approval from Holyrood is in thrall to the SNP and that is the very definition of socialism and why it is always a well of corruption. National socialism of the purest variety is back and it's ours. Edited June 25, 2021 by Bill 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
