    God Save the Queen is an absolutely awful national anthem.

    We really need to get an anthem that's less forelock-tuggy and more inspiring. Something like the Welsh, Irish or French one.

    how about purloining the national anthem of the glorious Republic of Yakkabukkoo...

    Carol Ann Duffy is a dreadful poet. Her popularity bemuses me.

    You think Carol Ann is duff,
    And her poetry is realy poor stuff,
    But it may sober ya,
    When you're reported for homopobia,
    Because she likes diving of the variety muff... 

  3. A wee tale from a Cowden v Thistle match at Central Park:

    Thistle fans are giving the board pelters from the back of the main stand. Cue Blobby himself calling a steward over. 

    Steward comes up the stairs to talk to a fellow steward standing next to the Thistle fans. He uttered the immortal words

    "That fat c*nt wants us to throw these boys out. Well he can f*ck off" 

    Always had a wee soft spot for the Blue Brazil after that! :lol:

  4. a couple of those players left last season Dougie's been on holiday and Stobie and Amos have played in the League Cup as signed players so I think this is not entirely accurate... :rolleyes:

    meanwhile at Pacific Quay: Is Tri Alist still a signed City player...?

    Edinburgh City signing Beattie and possibly Riordan, are just for the shirt sales. Wee (fun) club thinking 

      Hide contents

    In all seriousness though, Beattie would do a job for City and I wish them the best of luck for trying to survive the season ahead.

     

    aye diddy team signs well known player in his twilight years to try to flog shirts. I'm glad our biggest Scottish clubs never stoop to such tactics... :lol:

  6. In the early 1960s the BBC had to censure Duncan Macrae's rendition of the "Wee Cock Sparra" as it included the verse "The Wee Cock Sparra was shagged to death by Michael Marra" and this was thought to be potentially libellous.

    A bootleg recording of the uncensored version is believed to have been smuggled out by Johnny Beattie who used to play it during the audience warm up prior to recording his show "Now You See It" on STV.

    Epididimitis caused by testicular cysts and testicular varicose veins. Occasionally lands me in hospital. Painful.

    As Frankie Howerd said "It's wicked to mock the afflicted" but sorry Pete, I just couldn't help thinking of this...

    I saw City take a hiding off Hibs on Thursday. They did well in the opening and much of the second half, but were also frail and sluggish. Possibly their 4 LC sectional games will assist getting further up-to-SPFL2-speed come the start.

    Incidentally programme noted these tit-bits:

    * ban on unaccompanied U18s has been lifted, children can now attend on their own
    * City are incorporating themselves as a limited company

     

    I'm going to sell my shares in 20 years time to a fat chancer who'll move the club to Prestonpans as East Lothian needs League football.... :whistle
