    Winners of the Scottish Cup 100 years ago, Airdieonians.

    In a side which contained Hughie Gallacher and Bob McPhail, both goals in a 2-0 win over Hibernian were scored by Willie Russell. Like his more illustrious colleagues who left for Newcastle and Rangers respectively, Russell went on to serve Preston for six seasons, playing alongside the famous Alex James.

    And they could just as easy be wearing that strip right now. I love that.

    I’m hoping I’m wrong on this and it’s just tied into the stand up wiping (agreed nonce behaviour for shitty cheeked weirdos), but it appears that you are suggesting wiping front to back is the wrong behaviour?

    Back to front, while sitting down, is the correct answer 😉

    Note to self let Kenny macintyres constant ‘Neil warnock is going to be ABSOLUTELY BOX OFFICE’ influence my opinion on Neil warnocks managerial performance. 

    But it did have me wishing we’d appointed someone else. 

    There was a bit I caught last nighg where he used "big big" 3 times in under a minute.

    Will need to wait to see it, but I think Gray also contributed. 

    Hogarth lined his wall up with Gray at the end covering the post. Gray then was conscious of Taylor lurking around wider right, so stepped out to cover, leaving Hogarth's left post more open than should have been. I think, as I've said - will need to wait to see video to confirm if my memory is right.

    Highlights confirm my memory. 

    Gray is the end of the wall that Hogarth uses to line up to cover his bottom corner.  Gray then steps out to cover Taylor, leaving the bottom corner easier to hit.

    Then, having stepped out to cover Taylor, he doesn't actually bother covering Taylor when Taylor goes in looking for rebounds (as all good attackers do), thus leaving Taylor free for the finish when Hogarth spills the free kick back out into the box.

    Biggest mistake of the whole lot is obviously Blair needlessly losing possession in midfield, leading to Crighton giving away the free kick.

    All basic stuff.
