Jambo'ness

Sorry to come to this late but I was on holiday. The Willie Pryde of Bo'ness had played for Bo'ness Cadora pre-war, then signed for the new United on demob. He moved to Southend United in July 1947. The Pryde that played for Newburgh was, I believe, Jim Pryde. He went on to play for Rangers.

Eric went to Hearts from Salvesens BC in 1969 and was a regular in the reserves and made his first team debut in Feb 1970. So sorry cannot help to confirm, just eliminate him from your enquiries.

When Arniston signed him, my view was he was better off on a football pitch with other men rather than sitting at home on a PC. When my team played them, he kept his head down and was first in the dressing room at the end of each half. Then he gets a move up to Nitten and we saw the start of his arrogance. Then on to Kelty last season, where any baiting was responded to by brushing his shoulder, not exactly remorseful. Yes he is a very good player, who could have made it to the full Scotland team had he kept his nose clean but he didn't and can consider himself very fortunate at the leniency of his sentence. All sorts of excuses can be made for him but it comes down to the fact he had sexual urges for young children. That should never be forgotten. No doubt he is quite proud of himself now but the damage to Edinburgh City will show in the months ahead.

You think? Many football fans at my work do not understand the distinction between 'senior' and 'junior' and honestly think I just support a kids team. Now, translate that to sponsorship and firms may not see any benefit advertising their product through what they believe is a kids team. Granted, most sponsorship at team level is given by local companies who have an understanding but for the national cup for instance we should be harnessing sponsorship at a greater level.

Just answering on the opening post, not had time to read rest. For me, it is the collective 'we' of junior football that is a problem. 'We' are not junior clubs, 'we' are football clubs and that should be all that matters. However the shake-up comes along either by pyramid, or strict regions, it should be remembered it is still one game, be you Berwick, Buckie or Bellshill. The SJFA are self-interested. They have held a power for so long that they don't want to see lost. Everybody should be allowed to find their own level but getting rid of the moniker 'juniors' would be a fine start.

OK then, let's introduce that at least one disabled person is guaranteed an interview, then we can move on and add gender (look at how many male coaches are in women's football) and then go the whole hog by bringing sexual orientation into it. Anything else is surely discriminatory..........

I was prepared to be neutral and read without judgment.....then you spoiled it.

Happy with an 8. Didn't get Italienne or Macedonia & fluked the Luxembourg.

A film version of River Shitty?

She's now 41 and this happened when she was a bairn. Slow news days in banjo land.

First ever 10! Knew 5 & guessed 5.

7/10 Talked myself out of the Blackadder answer

Doesn't that say it all about Ally's ability. He hasn't got a clue how to develop them but some other manager in the same division might get the best out of them. Then they can return in January to wreak havoc on the subs bench..........if there is still a club there.

Gruffalo & the periodic table one let me down but a good 8/10 today, especially after a miserable 1 earlier this week.

Richie Fiveone I could understand...

As a York fan, I remember the last time we played at Starks Park and a certain Nacho Novo ripped our defence for arse paper. our team then was supposedly decent but that game highlighted our deficiencies and our decline was under way. Last night Raith were clueless. I get no pleasure from saying that. If you get important injured defenders back it would make a difference. As for Laidlaw....oh dear. Your midfield is non-existent and I suppose Nade & Elliot require service to do the needful. Long, hard season ahead but good luck.

Well I did get the score half right when I said 0-0. TBH you were awful, really awful. For long periods City were toying with you like a cat with a mouse. Yes, I know all about the injuries but some of the replacemrnts should not be putting on boots to start with. City played some neat football and were never tested at the back, The 4th goal was a highlight even the Raith fans applauded. As for Nade, did nothing to make me improve my opinion. Has some nice footwork but showed no end product. Don't be upset if I predict you're going down, as I did the same last season to Hamilton after Bo'ness beat them in a friendly.

Looking forward to City's match tonight. Saw enough of Nade at Tynecastle to expect big John McCombe will have him tucked away (not in his back pocket as he'd need awfy big troosers). You're lacking in defence, we're lacking in attack. I'm going for 0-0.

I think they will rely heavily on loan signings this season. I can't see them offering long-term deals to many at the moment as they are a little hesitant on their promotion chances. if they have any sense they would look to stay down and maybe build over 2 years but that wont be in the plans.

Thought it was 2-0 but age catching up. That was the night Nacho Novo ripped our defence apart for speed.

Ah, I understand now. You mean like young Rangers fans identifying with the Battle of the Boyne. Like the tories, their actions continue to blight the nation.
