Hoping to avoid a repeat of the time I turned up late at Love Street, just as Arbroath were scoring a goal, and then spent the rest of the game not realising that Arbroath had actually scored another even earlier goal. Pretty surprising when the 3-2 to Arbroath scoreline was announced on Radio Scotland as I sat in traffic thinking I'd just watched a 2-2 draw.

Sorted. So Hartlepool fans who've already arranged travel can come to the Northampton game instead.

Apart from Ryan Flynn, we ended that game with a midfield and strikers who were all aged 17-20.

It looked like Strain took a knock just before half-time.

Big Ayunga looks like he'll bea handful for defences.

Is anyone using the live stream for the game? Am I missing the link to it somewhere?

I was genuinely confused at seeing Keanu Baccus referred to as the 'Parklea Messi' by some on Twitter. Further reading revealed that Parklea are one of his former clubs.
I'm relieved, then, to find that he definitely has no history linking him to the Parklea playing fields, next to the A8 at Port Glasgow.

They neatly stacked the seats that were going elsewhere, and obliterated the others, as below.
Also pictured, pish troughs that were purported to have been bought by Aberdeen at the time, if anyone recalls peeing into one of these at Pittodrie. Pictured alongside some of Morten's lights.

That away stand was a bit scary whenever you were celebrating a goal. Pictures don't do justice as to how steep it was. Am I right in saying there was a gym and/or an indoor 5 a side pitch under it?
I get the economics of moving to the new ground, but a real shame more couldn't be/wasn't done to love street. 3 sides would still be workable now and if you could have transported the current main stand there, would be a ground with real character.
Assume Morton must have got rid by now, the stand they bought and no plans still to erect it?
Sight lines from the away stand were streets ahead of those at the current ground. It was a big upgrade on the rest of Love Street with the gym and 5s pitches, as well as the ticket office and a bar of sorts. It was only in use for 14 years.
Morten's plans for the stand never materialised, but they are using the lamps from the floodlights at Cappielow.

Demolition of Love Street.

Walked into a spaceship simulator at a theme park and discovered that our unlikely trio of space companions were Alex McLeish, Dave Beaumont and Kevin Gallacher.
It was in Gothenburg just prior to the European Championships. Of the three, only Gallacher was actually in the squad. McLeish was sound, and engaged with us as soon as he heard our accents.

Johan Cruyff signing my programme.
Johan Cruyff: Your page is wet.
Me (turning page): Can you sign there then?
Johan Cruyff: No.

1995 I think?
We’d gone 2-0 up, I think Yardley scored at least 1 and Accies came back to draw 2-2 with Hartley scoring both?
He was only 19 at the time, maybe even still 18. Just acting like a kid would done having broken into the first team and scoring twice like that. He at least had the ability to back up his bravado
I walked into the ground just as Yardley scored. I hadn't even heard we'd signed him and I was wondering who the f**k he was.
I always respected Hartley. He was c*nt but he was only giving as good as he got. It was a complete waste of time booing him because he thrived on it and was frequently sensational against us. A great player.
Already well established as a panto villain, he had the comic genius to be involved in the Alan Main game too. With the half time scores putting us in great shape to stay up (2-1 to us v Aberdeen and 2-0 St Johnstone v Dundee United) it was Hartley getting a ridiculous red card in the first minute of the second half that set the tone for the comeback and gave Alan Main centre stage, with Sandy Clark saying "You can't legislate for what he's done there" in his post match interview.
And that was against the backdrop of us having given up a 2-0 lead at St Johnstone the previous week.......with Hartley scoing a screamer for the equaliser.

I think Hartley's goal celebration in that game, where he went out of his way to run the whole length of the Saints support in the Main Stand at Firhill, arms aloft while staring us down with a weird deadpan facial expression might have been what alerted us to the type of character he was, rather that one incident where he may have dived.

The documentary was made by his son as well, so it was never going to be a hit piece on him.

I was watching the Alex Ferguson documentary on C4 but am now watching the Italy v Germany game.
The only mention of St. Mirren in the first 50 minutes was one line which wasn't even true.
"I was PART-TIME manager of St. Mirren for 3 and a half seasons."
I haven't seen that documentary since it first came out, and I'm all for Fergie obviously, but I remember there being a few instances of them making economic use of the true storyline in it.
He implied that he only went to Aberdeen because it was a full-time gig, which overlooks a fair amount of other shit that went down!
Zero mention of Cantona's time at Leeds, where they beat Man Utd to the title before Fergie had ever won it. They instead create the illusion that Fergie plucked Cantona from obscurity in France.
They also spent time labouring on the point of him being raging for failing to thrash Rangers in the cup final, with reference to how they had treated his wife, while choosing to ignore the fact that they actually did thrash Rangers in the previous year's final, which didn't get a mention.
Etc.

I've watched most of the games Morgan has played over there, and he usually strolls it.
He's moved to decent team now as well in NYRB. Phil Neville's Miami team were fkn torture to watch and Morgan was contributing more than their marqee signings were.

What's this tube Owen on about?
At least we were only kidding on about being world champions when we won at Wembley in 1967.

Don't know what's going on tonight, but it was a shit show getting into that place for the Brazil game at France 98. Then a guy in an SFA blazer appeared and the barriers magically opened and everyone strolled in at once with minimal/no checks just in time for kick-off.
