Dirty Sanchez

What's always stuck out for me about the 1974 game, when you look at some of the crowd scenes in the video, is that the attendance was seemingly 42951 fewer than the crowd at the 1970 game. Were they really cramming them in so hard that the place still looks packed with 40 odd thousand fewer heads there? I presume the smaller crowd was as aresult of the reduced capacity following the Ibrox disaster, but it doesn't look any less full.

I'm happy to accept your word for that. However, in the stream I watched that game on, the camera was irrefutably following polythene bags around midfield whilst the ball was elsewhere. It even panned away from the winning goal to show rubbish blowing around in the wind. I presume those pictures were coming from a non KillieTV source, unless the camera operator was a poly bag enthusiast.

I tried to watch Kille v QoS but gave up because the unmanned minor league cameras genuinely kept panning away from the action to follow polly bags that were blowing around in the wind.

Motherwell commentator carrying on like the guy who commentated on the Hindenburg disaster at that 2nd goal there.

The pitch stuff from Hateley and co reminds me of when team after team were cock-a-hoop at the quality of the pristine pitch when St Mirren's new stadium opened in the middle of the winter weather. Then Celtic got knocked out of the Scottish Cup on it and the pitch genuinely received a post match 'Trial by Sportscene' feature for being "too firey", or some shite.

Of all the self styled hard men I've ever watched, he's the one that's least capable of taking a dose of his own medicine. And also the one with the girliest voice.

Revelation from the Ross County commentator that Jay Henderson is the son of erstwhile pantomime villain of the 1990s Saints support, Darren Henderson, who was top drawer at shithousery in his Stranraer days.

Looking at the positives, I'm in the house and don't need to drive home from Dingwall.

Irony Police telephoned.

Was that due to the psychological effect of Curtis Main coming on?

Should have had money on us to get a red today. I fancied we might get 'Joann Arquin'ed, like when they managed to find a red for him the week after he'd had a joke one rescinded.

I hope this announcement doesn't put Shelley Kerr back on the drink, or somebody is getting it.

FFS, after I made all that effort to be philosophical about having to get behind a wee scrote like Naismith.

Did i dream it, or at one point did they drop the space between 'Premier' and 'League' and briefly call it the 'Premierleague', or postulate calling it that?

As a wise man once commented as we were reflecting on the absolute state of some of the weirdos peering through the Pittodrie segregation fence at us, "At least the Old Firm have got something to be cocky about".

It's funny to see the high regard that Jim Goodwin is held in these days, by the same opposition fans and pundits who used to carry on like the guy who commentated on the Hindenburg disaster every time Jim went in for a tackle.

Was also a pioneer of shaving his balls in the shower. Ahead of his time in that sense.

A note of caution would be that fans in the stands were quite literally directing 'We're not worthy' gestures towards Jens Paeslack at this stage of his Saints career.

Torfason played in the first game after we got relegatged before jumping ship to St Johnstone. The mists of time prevent me from remembering if he was just finalising his move at the time, or if taking part in a 7-0 defeat to Raith Rovers changed his mind about staying on with us.

It's the curse of the yellow shoulders. St.Johnstone's pointless addition of yellow shoulders in an attempt to spice up an otherwise perfectly adequate kit is eerily reminiscent of the pointless yellow shoulders from our 2015 relegation kit. We knew it was futile trying to stay up as soon as we set eyes on that strip. Other teams be warned.

What the actual f**k? "The difference for fans of other clubs in the top flight is that they are invariably able to watch their team in every home game and away match due to demand – but with away allocations tighter, the vast majority of Celtic followers have no choice but to pay out for live streams." Nope, can't see the flaw in that narrative.

I'm presuming I haven't lost the plot and that really is the wrong picture next to Pavel Nedved. I know it was a while ago, but he can't have changed his looks that much.

Primarlily because it was free.

That Red TV commentary was a masterclass in fragile bravado. They effortlessly switch between Old Firm-like swagger to "woe is me" and then back again as soon as the Dons string three passes together.

You naturally expect commentary from a parallel universe on these in-house TV channels, to the extent that it's rarely even worthy of a mention, but FFS! I presume the main guy was a few cans deep by the final whistle, or was he just playing to the gallery by that point?
