looks like hens to the left of the goal there- which just goes to prove that there's always been cocks at Hearts...

Indeed. Here’s a piece of trivia for you Tam. The chimney that appears at the back of the Elgin team photo was part of an old mill on the river Lossie. It was taken down sometime in the late 70s and the child that had the privilege of pressing the demolition button was a Mr Dougal Sharp who stayed close to it at the time.
An interesting fact indeed: He certainly demolished "Sweet Child of mine" at school on one occasion..

The Eclipse of a few years ago- got lucky because the mist that descended on Arthur's Seat that morning acted as a nice filter.
The Sky smiled that day- Edinburgh City won the Lowland League!
I borrowed somebody's eclipse glasses and held them next to the lens for this one...

Borough Briggs hasn't changed much in 50 years- quite a good thing I suppose!

Where does this sit on the fortified wine scale?
On the plus side, it's cheaper than Buckfast and they appear to sell it in the big supermarkets. Tried it once and it got me hammered so I can vouch for its efficacy. However, I forgot to take any tasting notes, so I can't say whether it was nice or not.
Donnez-moi beacoup de swally...!

Dalbeattie Star's wooden grandstand- there's a good social club behind it. There are rickety steel steps leading up to it from the terracing!
Kennoway Star Hearts' ground. Its like something out of "Field of Dreams". Build it and they will come....

Camelon v Newtongrange Star, May 2015. Referee Lorraine Clark and Assistants Hayley Irvine and Kylie McMullan take to the field. I believe this was the first time a men's match in Scotland had all-women officials.
Lorraine Clark has refereed in SPFL Division 2 this season and Kylie McMullen is a regular Assistant Referee in the Premier Division.

I'm sure I've read (probably on here) that the reason behind Motherwell's choice of colours was to avoid the need for an away strip. Cheap b*****ds.
Also, I never realised BBC snooker presenter Rob Walker was that old. Or played professional football.
Uncanny.
"In 1886 two local teams Glencairn FC and Alpha joined forces to form Motherwell F.C. The new team played in blue until in 1913 the famous claret and amber colours were worn for the first time. It is thought that they were chosen to mark out the team as distinct from the many other Scottish clubs who wore blue and were taken from the colours of Bradford City who had won the F.A. Cup in 1911. City’s colours came from their rugby playing predecessors Manningham FC who switched codes to play Association Football in 1903. Manningham had played in claret and amber hoops since the 1880s and may have taken their colours from the colours of The Prince of Wales’ Own West Yorkshire Regiment (who fought against the Jacobites in the 1715 rising and at the Battles of Falkirk and Culloden in 1745...). A more romantic explanation for the adoption of the colours was that these were the racing colours of local landowner Baron Hamilton of Dalzell but the Bradford City connection seems more likely."
from some twat's article* in an Edinburgh City v Motherwell programme.
Motherwell effectivly stole their colours from egg chasers!

It was Bobby Ford that scored the first goal of the new Premier League after a couple of minutes. I was actually at that match.
In 1998 Whitehill Welfare had scooshed the East of Scotland League (as they did in those days) and were resting players ahead of a midweek cup final. This led to 50 year old Whitehill manager Mike Lawson and 48 year old assistant manager Bobby Ford taking to the field against Edinburgh City- they didn't disgrace themselves although City won 3-1.

The Kitten. Back in the 60s he was Mum and Dad's cat and before my time although Mum tells me he was a bit of a character. Dad took this splendid photo and flipped it over to produce two Kittens for the price of one!

Not sure if this has already been posted but it wouldn’t happen nowadays. Dundee v Aberdeen at Dens Park on New Year’s Day 1936. Result was a 2-2 draw and crowd given as 21,000.
I'm sure that pic was an Absolute Game cover once with a speech bubble from the crowd "Aye, try to float it over to the far post"..

I went to Adrossan Winton Rovers (good guys and worth a visit) for the first time a couple of months ago- I was taken with this floodlight as it looks as if its been nicked off a railway!

Pat Bonner's laddie playing for the Ants (St Anthony's) against St Roch's in 2013 at Jimmy McGrory Park. Packy himself was watching from the terracing.
Probably the last time I saw I really good, down to earth muddy encounter- snowflake refs would probably rule that pitch unplayable now so fair play to the whistler who allowed the game to go ahead that day;
2nd pic showing the soon to be demolished flats in the background and the soon to be demolished "Flying Pig" in goals!

Appreciate they were depleted...
That said before kick-off, both having played over half their league season, they were only separated by GD. For one to put 10 goals past the other and win by 7 is remarkable.
Crawford still managed a hat-trick. Extraordinary.
Eyemouth actually won the reverse game in November
.
must be a pisser when you score a hat-trick in a game but your team has been shellacked.

2 Steel structures back in Leith after a 2 month absence.
They've either been on their holidays or they're part of the new Hearts stand and Ann's just come up with the readies after emptying the plastic coo.
