When I was a wee kid I used to hate Michael Aspel (he had a kiddie's request show called "Ask Aspel") for no apparent reason.
Then I grew up and didn't dislike him anymore, it was more a sort of "meh".
I hated Meg Ryan even before she did that Parkinson interview.
I don't really like popstrel Lorde either, if only because this b*****d got to use the name first (different spelling I know):

in my life, why do I smile at people I'd much rather kick in the eye....
I always liked that line, maybe I'll have it on me gravestone.

I don't know why they just didn't make that a closed doors game.
thanks to the Rovers fans for turning out in good numbers- you guys always brought through a big support in Meadowbank days so nice to see the tradition continue.

You'll need more breeze blocks than that if Nishy is going to sit on the subs bench!
Thanks to all the Sons fans who turned out yesterday. It was a good workout for the team.

this comes up for some unknown reason and spookily this next picture comes up
with the caption "Enigma, Tam the Bam". I've never even met Haddington's finest P&B poster in the flesh....!

As I'm totally crap at fighting I tend to avoid it. However if pushed I'd resort to a couple of dirty moves (knee in the bollocks, that kind of thing) and then leg it. Remember the old proverb kids, "he who runs away, lives to cack it another day!"

Moved to post for 1st time by this. Paul Hegarty worse than any other Forfar manager in my lifetime (going since 1967/68). He inherited a good team & ruined it. Alienated supporters & fell oot with Stewart Kennedy - no way back after that.
I'm not a Loons fan (Meadowbank back in the day) so I can't quite remember if Hegarty directed followed Henry Hall but I do remember Hall's team was quite decent and good to watch whereas Hegarty turned Forfar into a bunch of dirty, cheating cloggers. I've never liked the sod since.

I was at Buxton v Matlock a couple of weeks ago- the Derbyshire Derby if you will..
A stadium reminiscent of a 2nd/3rd Division Scottish Ground, say a bit like Station Park, Forfar, a crowd of 500 on a night Man U were playing on the tv in the Champions League and Matt Thornhill, late of Hibernian FC. having found his level- from Scottish Premier to Evostick Premier.
Buxton's ground is apparently the highest in England. I will post a couple of photos if I can be arsed.
Tomorrow is Hartlepool Monkey Hangers v The Mighty Shrimps of Eric Morecambe...

Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 49Offence of having in public place article with blade or point.This is going to seem an utterly ridiculous question but Google hasn't been too helpful.
Sometime earlier this season I brought my mini Swiss Army knife to an away game* for the sole use of using the bottle opener to open bottles on the train. No bother at all because I didn't go waving about the blade like some nutter. If I had been caught with it, would I have been lifted for carrying a blade? The UK government website says I wouldn't because it's a folding knife and because of blade size, however I was certain there was some legislation change in Scotland in the not too distant past (maybe a couple of years ago)?
I could buy a bottle opener but that's not much use if I ever need to remove a stone from a horse's hoof.
*
(1)Subject to subsections (4) and (5) below, any person who has an article to which this section applies with him in a public place shall be guilty of an offence and liable—
(a)on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding [F1twelve]F1 months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both; and
(b)on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding [F2four]F2 years or a fine or both.
(2)Subject to subsection (3) below, this section applies to any article which has a blade or is sharply pointed.
(3)This section does not apply to a folding pocketknife if the cutting edge of its blade does not exceed three inches (7.62 centimetres).
(4)It shall be a defence for a person charged with an offence under subsection (1) above to [F3show that the person had a reasonable excuse]F3 or lawful authority for having the article with him in the public place.
(5)Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (4) above, it shall be a defence for a person charged with an offence under subsection (1) above to [F4show]F4 that he had the article with him—
(a)for use at work;
(b)for religious reasons; or
©as part of any national costume.
(6)Where a person is convicted of an offence under subsection (1) above the court may make an order for the forfeiture of any article to which the offence relates, and any article forfeited under this subsection shall (subject to section 193 of theM1Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (suspension of forfeiture etc, pending appeal)) be disposed of as the court may direct.
[F5(7)In this section, “public place” has the same meaning as in section 47(4).F5]
A quite common "reasonable excuse" used by neds is the fishing excuse- I had the knife for fishing. My old man used to keep a rusty old knife in the car for gutting mackerel that he caught - I dare saw if the cops ever searched his car (which was usually a tip on wheels) he could have proved he went fishing. Another excuse is that the ned works in a warehouse and uses the knife for cutting plasting binding. I wish I was actually a qualified lawyer because I could charge you b*****ds for this advice and assistance!!

this is Meadowbank..... before Meadowbank! In the top half is Marionville Road and the patch of ground in the foreground is where the current pitch is. In the 2nd picture the pitch you can just see in the bottom right is, I think, "New Meadowbank" which was laid out by the Edinburgh Junior FA after they moved from Bathgate Park which became the New Street Bus Garage.
Pictures taken in 1932.

a link to a photo in the Scotsman archives of a Preston Athletic (when they were Juniors) match against Dunbar United at the Panners' old ground. I think this ground was buried underneath Cockenzie Power Station.
(they wouldn't let me sneakily nick it, hence the link. curse the copyright laws!

Saw that. Cracking pick. United legend Jacky Kay in the centre with the "Guy Pierce in Lawless" style centre parting.
Was talking about this pic yesterday. They have the location wrong, it's taking along the sandeman street terracing, now the George fox stand, looking towards the corner with the shed.
I thought it was taken c.1987 showing Jim McLean overseeing some youth players looking for a lost shilling on the terraces...

see, they tidy up after themselves. some cnut's dug shat right at the entrance of our house. I didn't clean it up (not my business, not my dug) but instead stepped over it. The paper boy wasn't so alert....

I thought that was Cardiff Arms Park? Looking at the Wiki page it seems there is a lot of confusion. Looks bizarre when you walk through the city and pass it, the Millenium Stadium with what appears to be some form of conjoined twin awaiting surgical removal.
Just as an aside, the current floodlights at Cliftonhill are seemingly the old lights from Cardiff RFC's ground.

Edinburgh City's first U-18 team played one of the last (if not the last) game at Bayview against East Fife in the Youth Cup - City won 1-0 which sort of revenged East Fife's 13-2 win there back in the 1930s..
I nicked a wooden "No Smoking" sign from the stand which I later posted to the editor of the East Fife fanzine "Away from the Numbers". I don't know if he ever got it though.

City should be worth a watch (as always). We've had great players come through our youth ranks over the years. The goalie, Billy, we've got on loan from Livingston looks a good player certainly..
