Dirty Sanchez

Bad guys from Superman.

Commentator says the linesman was in a good position to make the right call. As were the jury at the OJ Simpson trial, to be fair.

Also, "We wouldn't have given a f**k if had affected someone else instead of us".

There was a masterstroke from Jack Ross in that Irn Bru game when we were crying out for a creative spark late on. He's got ramshackle wing wizard Stelios sitting on the bench, a couple of weeks removed from his 2 goal man of the match performance against Hibs where he tore David Gray up for arse paper all night. Instead, JR brings on an 18 year old for his debut, to play the same position, who barely ever played for us again, then later reflected that he should probably have brought on Stelios. I guess he was just too intimidated by Stelios' Mediterranean good looks and quirky, but sharp tailoring.

Paul Kinnaird was both the best and worst, depending what week it was.

I think Google have made a mistake here.

In fairness, it respectfully left out any mention of the time when he interrupted a Mo Johnston interview with his knob out.

Couldn't believe that one. The guy didn't even disguise the fact that he had no interest in playing the ball. He actually moved away from the ball to approach Kiltie and throw an NFL style block on him. With the linesman with a front row seat to it all. .

Regarding Jimmy Greaves, they did more than send a copy of the birth certificate. There was a clip of Henry Smith and some other Hearts players shown on 'On the Ball', which was the prequel to 'Saint and Greavsie'. In the clip, the birth certificate was displayed and then the players turned to the camera and all gave a resounding, fisting style, 'get it up ye' gesture to Greaves.

"Unique Ibrox atmosphere." They're not lying there, I suppose. Unique indeed.

There was general decline nearly everywhere in the 1980s, a feature of which was that the gap between the Old Firm's crowds and everyone else was a fraction of what it is now. I can remember when Ibrox would be more than half empty for most games, with modest away supports being given the whole of the Broomloan Rear stand, and stuff like that, because there were no home fans to fill the seats anyway. The Hibs crowd in that newspaper cutting was nothing out of the ordinary for the early 80s either. They were routinely playing to gates like that even when they were back in the Premier. 'The Roar of the Crowd' by David Ross is a good read about the history of crowds in Scotland, and also touches on the dicussion above about the comical under reporting of crowds when it suited. There's a section in the book that gives the average attendances for every team for every season from 1900 to whenever the book came out, which is an eye opener as to how things change. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Roar-Crowd-Following-Scottish-Football/dp/1902831837 I'm not David Ross, btw.

I love how they appear to have stood the bottles upright before taking the picture, for some reason, and I hope that guy got up the road OK without his left shoe. I note a 24 year old Richard Madeley reporting on the Rangers demise.

Main commentator seems to mould her persona on early era Jonathan Pearce, which is not a compliment.

Some goal.

Tinpot thread for the cheat chants.

Only thing missing there was someone using the word "footy".

At least the new manager bounce gives us an excuse for getting beat and makes it less of a riddy.

Hearts fans actually invaded the Love Street pitch at the end of that 5-2 defeat, for some reason. So we had away fans invading our pitch, on the last day of the season, two years in a row after five goal scorelines.

To be fair, when Clydebank were sharing Cappielow, Big DJ spent a whole show referring to them as Morton.

Record books at the ready for Saturday's attendance.

It wasn't much different fom the other two games, and indeed most of the second half of last season. No obvious game plan and tedious to watch. I had to laugh at some people trying to make out that we were content to coast the second half at Cowdeneath. What a load of shite, we couldn't get in behind them to save ourselves, in a situation where goal difference was essential, and they'll likely be by far the weakest opponent we'll play all season.

Special mention for the guy who fell asleep on the grass at Cowdenbeath today and had to be woken at full time, and also to the guy who tried to convince him that the final score had been 7-0.

Tedious again. Difficult to see what the game plan is. At least it was warmer than that Arctic midweek game the last time I was there.
