There were plenty of Sons fans that would have handed their's over as soon as he signed.
Agreed. It's never too soon for the "Aitken out" banners.

I suspect we'll play a 4-2-31 (or variation on it),
.
As it reads that would give us a more than three players to one advantage all over the pitch. We'd surely win a few games that way. (As long as the ref doesn't notice.)

Ooft... Bill Heaney's article has disappeared from his blog.

If you click on the first line under Recent Posts you do get to https://democratonline.net/2021/07/13/78369/ which seems to be the article concerned.

Would they do something like that just for devilment do you think?

That photo always intrigued me. Why did we use the white strip for one random season before returning to it in the early seventiesMy memory is it was a second strip (used at home, not away; in those days the home team in Scotland changed strip - and then only if there was a colour clash) for that one season in the black and gold stripes era until it became the main strip around 1969.

Hugh Harra
Hi All,
so glad to have come across this forum. My grandfather, Hugh Harra sadly passed away a few years ago which a lot of you will know. He followed the club until the end and it was a very special time in his life. It would be great if any of you have memories or pictures to share. Many thanks, Zoelisa Harra
It makes me feel very old indeed to see something posted here by a granddaughter of Hugh Harra. He is an abiding memory from my youth watching the Sons at Boghead. Opposing players always had a tough time playing against him.

Correct many Scots were entirely happy with the sentiment expressed and weren’t rebellious - a common mistake to think the issue was a Scotland v England thing
Except the English thought it was.

For me the priority of Scottish football should be;
1. To have a strong international side.
2. To have club sides that do well in Europe.
Neither of those will happen just because youth teams are in the league system. We should be thinking about what else do those other countries mentoned do that helps produce good players.

No wonder Scottish football fails with the divisive tribalistic attitude of putting your part time club above Scotland in priority.
You seriously think fans of part time clubs want Scotland to fail? They don't. They also don't think youth teams in the league system will benefit anybody but the Old Firm. (Certainly not Scotland.)

How will it ruin lower league football in Scotland? How can you possibly reach this conclusion?
"People who support B-teams don't care about lower league football in Scotland. That is simply a fact."
No, that is patently not a fact, it is another hysterical (and incorrect) claim, based on what you mistakenly believe. You cannot possibly back that statement up with fact.
You only have to look at the way Rangers and Cetic have behaved over the years to realise that they don't give a toss about lower league teams - the attempt to remove five teams from the Scottish League in the early 60s, the formation of the Premier Division in the 1970s (supposedly to help them compete in Europe - it had the absolutely opposite effect) the throwing of all except top division teams under the bus with the formation of the SPL (which Dundee's boss wants to repeat!) Now this proposal to shoehorn their B teams into the system by bribery. None of those exhibited any kind of duty of care towards clubs in the same league structure as them.

You must be great fun at a party
Well, I'd been thinking next year ended in 2 but keeping that thought resolutely to myself.
As I did ten years ago until after the play-off final. Thoughts like those should not tempt fate by being uttered.
And....... What's a party?
(Btw, the year ending in 1 has worked well for Spurs recently hasn't it?)

Now that you have made it so clear that you are the righteous one, I do hope that you will now visit every thread on every forum and pass on your wisdom to everybody that has made an error, in your eyes.
I do. Frequently.

as a former English teacher and Bo'ness fan who enjoys the melodic chords coming out of Jambo's cords, stop being a pedantic fanny
There's nothing pedantic about wanting people - especially children - to be able to recognise when a word is being misused.

Oh no! The spelling police are out and about. Are you a young medical student, frustrated that nobody will talk to you? Now you know why.
No. Just someone who prefers clarity in communication.
And mistaking chord for cord is not a spelling error.
Just because something shapes sound doesn't mean the word to describe it is the same as the one for a harmonious set of musical notes.

I will have to start lubricating the vocal chords, I suppose. Wouldn't want to let you down.
That'll be vocal cords. As in thin strips of cartilage stretched across the back of the throat.

Always found it a bit weird that in Fife you had Kelty Hearts and Thornton Hibs. I don't imagine you find large number of Hearts or Hibs fans outside of Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Those great Hibbees ,The Proclaimers, lived in Auchtermuchty.
