  1. Letter Number 6 (6! FFS) in the saga of Tossers DCBL v Tam the Bam. 

    Same as letters 4 and 5 "Pay up or we'll definitely, definitely be taking you to court which could affect your credit rating etc etc"

    I showed letter number 5 to a civil solicitor pal of mine who laughed at it.

    Folk who think that buying a ticket on a bus or train entitles them to a seat for their bag or even a hat, even when the bus/train is mobbed and people are standing.

    Extra points to the cretinous folk in the example above who give out a "tut" noise when asked to move their fekkin bag or hat.

    Folk who sit at the window side of a train double seat and cover the neighbouring fold down table with their sh1r3 but don't move it when someone sits next to them.

    That's all for now but the day is yet young.

    I got into an argument with some p***k on a bus the other week. He'd manspread himself across two seats*. I asked him to move over and his answer was that he was too tall to fit in one seat. To which I replied that I was just as tall as he was and managed it perfectly. I should have hit him in the cobblers, that would have closed his legs. 

    *no, it wasn't this cnut. Just as much a sense of entitlement though

    I can't bring a cat to the football.

    What about Ferenc Puss-kas or Peterhead: the Moggy-ners? 

    Your starter for 10: which Scottish football club have a cat on their badge? 

    Spoiler

    That's a Scottish wildcat and not a lion. Only shite clubs have lions on their badge... :whistle

    It’s not set in stone but given that Lochore don’t have lights it can’t be a midweek game so the 20th makes sense.

    The clocks go forward tonight. Might be able to get a 6.30 kick off in midweek in a couple of weeks although 20th makes sense as you say.

    I do not have a photo, but worth adding that while the 'front' face of the cup says:

    ESFA
    CITY CUP
    1947


    (which date presumably relates to it being restored after spending the war years in a hole); the 'back' face says in more old-fashioned typeface:

    EDINBURGH FOOTBALL
    ASSOCIATION
    2ND ELEVEN CHALLENGE
    TROPHY



    This corroborates references that after the Edinburgh 2nd XI Cup was abolished in 1899, the trophy was offered up by Hearts (who were its last winners) for new East of Scotland Cup which began in 1903 aka 'City Cup'.

    Its shape and appearance are also pretty recognisable in Hibs team photos dating from 1882 (on p8 of Mackay's Hibernian: The Complete Story) - and from 1884 (in the centrefold of Lugton's The Making of Hibernian: the Harp Awakens).

    Does that make it one of the oldest trophies still being used in Scottish Football? The Scottish Cup is old but a replica gets presented to the winning club these days. I have seen some fine SOSL trophies that looked pretty old but whether they are older than 1882 I don't know. 

  6. It's Competition Time

    Simply guess what time Stirling University will be awarded a penalty on Wednesday night in the City Cup Final

    1st Prize: A day at Ref school

    2nd Prize: A week at Ref school

    3rd Prize: You get to be the VAR Assistant at the next Old Firm Derby..

    Got the wee man a Happy Meal from McDonald's (yes, yes, I know) and the book that came with it about adventurers and pioneers had a wee glossary at the back...

    "Ick-thee-oh-saw" indeed. We aren't in England, we pronounce our Rs. And even if we were in England, that's still wrong. 

    Judging by that definition ichthyosaur should be pronounced "Archie McPherson"

    "Mr Cowan made comments which had "elements of sexism and sexual innuendo" in a programme broadcast on February 10."

    Unforgivable. Throw the book at him.

     

    I hope any sexual innuendo will now be whipped out by the Producer and exposed if it doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It could be hairy for the Presenters if it leaves them looking small.

  9. I'm still bitter at Cluggers Quay Gonads kicking Edinburgh City off the pitch in a Challenge Cup Semi-Final with tactics that would have shamed an Ayrshire Junior team. 

    And they were from North Wales where the proper Taffs come from.
