fair enough. Saw him at Barnet once. Here is a photo for your dartboard... Ian Holloway still remains the poor man's Dick Campbell though....

It's Ian "Olly" Holloway, English football manager and poor man's Dick Campbell IMHO.

That's some memory you have! He's now a coach at Crossgates Primrose, Cowden. Meanwhile... hooray for a good relationship with our lovely green neighbours. Welcome to City Lewis and remember a hat-trick against the Binos later in the season will be revenge for what this dirty great Stirling thug did to you..

our top scorer one season was the leg-end that is Brian Foster, nominally a centre half.... perhaps we need to clone Joe so that one Joe can play at the back and another Joe can play up front. altogether now #1 is Joe Mbu #2 is Joe Mbu #3 is Joe Mbu #4 is Joe Mbu We all dream of a team of Joe Mbu's....

3 pies AND a Soup?! Nae wonder you're called Mr Blobby!! Good to see Walker make his debut though.

btw I notice that Shettleston's goalie was sent off for having a leak behind the goal today. If this is a new SFA law then some of the clarty buggers at City who can't seem to use the facilities before leaving the dressing room had better watch out... I fantasize about a massive outdoor convenience. The high jump mat storage container behind the dugouts, the groundsman handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll. The crowd laughing at ma family jewels from the stand while the SFA observer looks on with a face like thunder. But under the circumstances I'll settle for the dressing room cludgie.....

couldn't make it up to Elgin so dipped down into the LL to watch BSC v Selkirk (bit crap really)- Mr Blobby may be interested in this snippet from the BSC programme: I suppose we're now in a mini league with Berwick and Cowden at the moment. We have played the 3 top teams in recent weeks and got nothing which is a bit annoying but I'm not panicking yet. Yet...

Rumour has it that Guth is also a striker. But I stress it's only a rumour...

only if he gets sent off in the 3rd minute...

I don't know why the Greeks are always going on about the Elgin Marbles- they don't look that impressive to me (Tam the Bam- talking bools again)

tbf he was probably fechtin' other cats but Dad used to blame the fox. The bold boy was actually soft as shite when indoors. His sister never got into fights- she was a good hunter but because she was bloody huge I think the other cats used to avoid her. The Mags Haney of our neighbourhood!

This lad used to fight the fox occasionally and we used to bath his scratches in a solution of Epsom salts. Not that he liked it much. she was more of an eater than a fighter. Pictured here being annoyed at being given a Rubik's cube to figure out when trying to kip.

I once had an article on Cuminestown Juniors published in The Absolute Game. Worship me, ye mortals!

"Elvis" and "E.T." watched Meadowbank so no surprise here!

Can't beat a good drop of soup on a cold day- In the Lowland League Gala Fairydean Rovers and EK do nice soup. The hottest pies were at Preston Ath and Edin Uni (also lovely home baking at Peffermill). Gretna 2008's pies were also good. Ah, you almost want to go back....

there's some curlews down at Aberlady Bay too. But don't go there. I like walking there and I don't want you P&B scum spoiling the area!

your centrefold stunnas folks... (Peter) Grant Tierney had already played for Meadowbank and Dunfermline when this photo was taken and Gordon Rae was going to go on to play for Meadowbank and dreamed of managing Edinburgh City...

CitySpy asks: which Loadsamoney City legend paid for a cup of tea at Spartans Refreshment Stall with a £50 note today? Flash git! CLUE: It wasn't Rossy B- this is the only 50 note he's ever seen...

I take it when Craig refers to "close rivals" he is talking about Hibs Ladies in comparison to Spartans Ladies. It can't be City because we're a Scottish League club and not some non-league diddies!

you got a PROGRAMME as well?! You b*****d!!

I bet you got a pie and all! Sold out.. poor show from our wee Edinburgh neighbours!! I'm glad Mr B has made Mac man of the training. He's moaning he doesn't get enough of a write up here. I mean Gary couldn't have got those two Manager of the Month Awards without his expert input...

Issue 3 did appear I'm sure- I have vague memories of doing 4 issues. It may have been a ****** (hopefully that will get past the P&B filter)

ah.. the infamous Cough interview in MBEP. He'd just signed and was a neighbour of Dave Stoker's so we popped round to his gaff one night and interviewed him. Good guy. Pre-season friendly at Forrester's Park between Tranent and Thistle. I was not very familiar with Junior football at the time. I see an old guy in a bunnet in the shed and think "that's good- a guy supporting his local team". Couglin puts in a typically robust tackle right in front of the shed. The previously harmless looking and quiet auld guy comes out with the immortal words "COUGHLIN- YA BIG NEWTONGRANGE C*NT!!!" "Don't worry Mr Gibson, you'll soon be back in training...."

the hoodoo kicked in last week so nae luck Cowden!

some good news for Cowdenbeath I suppose..
