Slightly off topic, but is it Vitoria or Victoria? The player that is. I'll ask the lads at Stranraer if nobody's sure...

Possibly Joe McBride or Dougie Hope. I'm getting too old for this historian lark!

That strip was worn between 1991 and 1993, almost exclusively by Joe McBŕide. A very fine player indeed...

You need to narrow it down a little, 93-95 covers four seasons. Perhaps describe the shirt. 92-3 was mostly Joe McBride 93-4 mostly Alan Irvine or Benny Andrew 94-5 mostly Dougie Hope 95-6 mostly Dougie Hope

I don't think anyone is slagging him off - good on him for being a diehard - it was an observation on the pecualiaralities of the lower league Scottish fitba fans. My son is an occasional attender these days and couldn't believe the negativity from the section of the stand he was sitting in. Again, not a criticism but an observation, but why do so many supporters only open their mouths in a negative fashion when things aren't going well on the park and never see fit to offer a shout of encouragement? It's certainly something that's not unique to East Fife but it utterly baffles me...

What are these old boys under the gantry like? Been standing in the same spot since 1936 I think. Superb stuff... :-)

Reassuringly, most Scottish senior fitba clubs remain firmly rooted in the so-called scum areas...

You're saying that Primark in Iraq is equivalent to the Overgate?

This pile of paranoid crap just turned up on Facebook... These are not my words, but I wish they were. I echo every single word: I'm a Liverpool fan. Apparently, that means I'm embarrassing. I'm scum. Part of the worst, most annoying fan base around. A fan of a disgusting, disgraceful club that's offended by everything and ashamed of nothing, whatever that might mean today. I'm unemployed and unemployable, because I'd just steal everything anyway. Like your hubcaps. Like your trainers. I'd sell them to buy drugs, I expect. The cash I make from them, when added to my dole money, would help pay for my flights to and from Norway. Did I mention I'm a murderer? Did loads of murders, me. I murder all the time. Never been any justice for my murders either. I don't have to tell you WHO I've murdered, because you all know their names. They're mentioned frequently among the empathy you've shown. Of course, being a Liverpool fan also means I've killed my own. Turned up drunk at a game and just started doing some killing. That idea's been widely dismissed, but I think you know better, to be honest. You're too smart to be fooled by facts and findings. Oh, and I'm a racist too. I defend racists and I'm a fan of probably the most racist club ever, because they wore some t-shirts that time. I mean, it was probably an ill-advised move by the club, but we couldn't wait to do it anyway because we're so racist. If Liverpool ever won the league (because we've never ever won it), I'd be intolerable. I'd never stop going on about it. It would be completely different to any other side winning it, where their fans go silent, applaud politely, and never mention it ever again. And it would be our FIRST league title, not the 19th like some idiots say, because real football only began in 1992. Football with Richard Keys. Oh, by the way, this rule only applies to Liverpool, not any other clubs who may have won trophies before Sky TV. Any league win would be made possible by the referees, who are all in the club's pocket. The referees and the biased media, who all want Liverpool to win. If there's one thing we've seen over the last 30 years, it's that the media definitely love Liverpool FC and its fans. Penalties. Get them all the time. Penalties for everything. Our players dive all over the place and get penalties. Three at Anfield in the past 16 months alone. Because the referees all favour us. It's why we win games, mate. I'm looking forward to some more fighting in Europe. Embarrassing club. Bring it all on ourselves, to be honest. Always the victims. Like Sean Cox. You can't tell me he didn't deserve to be put in a coma. Probably looked at someone funny. Probably said something racist. Hopefully, we do a bit better in Europe this season than last, when it was hilarious for everyone else that we only made another final. Fucking laughable, that. A real club would have won it. Won it for the second time because the others don't count now or something. Had we won it, it would've been just another reason for us to act like we're better than everyone else somehow, by singing songs about OUR players, OUR manager and OUR club, or by making banners. Actually making them ourselves! Like a bunch of c***s. Having an anthem that gets sung at the start and end of every single game. Haha, the fucking kip of it. An anthem that's secretly sang not for our players, but to show how much better we are than your club, because that's more important. Always act like we're different as well. "We're not English, we're Scouse" some sing. Does my head in, that. Why can't we all get behind the national side; banding together with you lot, side by side with those who say we killed our own? Beats me. I mean, it's not like there was a very real line drawn in the fucking sand 30 years ago, is it? It's not like the rest of the country actually went out of their fucking way to drag anyone's name through the mud. It's not like it's still going on, is it? Disgusting, abhorrent, racist club, supported by Norwegians who killed their own, who act like the country's against them somehow, even when there's only a whole fucking stack of evidence going back 30 fucking years to back up that claim. Not surprised no one wants us to win. We go go again Redmen! YNWA

Televised darts is excruciating to watch these days and has got progressively worse since Jocky Wilson retired...

Standard fare if truth be told. No brandished chairs this time around. Montrose v Arbroath on the other hand has a bit of EDL action simmering along in the background...

Juniors love a misplaced apostrophe...

I also often wonder who runs the internet...

Wee team Tory talk...

c***s who can't spell "c***s"...

We have won three games to get this far. Our first win at Central Park in 24 years and two wins against full-time Championship sides. It's been a shambles from the SPFL but I really think we need to get behind the lads...

Never going to top the gadgie who was huckled for bouncing down the dual carriageway on a spacehopper...

Mostly a west of Scotland problem, particularly in the higher leagues where pies are sold in a foil case. Pies/ bridies, in Fife, Dundee and Angus tend to be excellent quality and value for money...

Ignorance of Scottish geography isn't restricted to down south. The host of a Radio Scotland phone-in show repeatedly referred to Inverness as being in the East. Almost as bad as her hosting a programme on resuscitation despite not knowing the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest...

I've never heard of Neil Cameron but I find it hard to believe anyone can be wankier than Ewan Murray on Twitter...

Anyone else think Frankie boy is an EF fan on the wind-up? The mis-spelled Raith manager's name is a bit suspicious for a kick-off...

Some quality heads gone footage following East Fife keeper Brett Long's dismissal after a first derby victory in 30 years injury-time winner in the highlights v Raith Rovers...

Fairly certain the Lochee Sports Bar doesn't have a pool table...

Folk that refer to the East and West Stands at Hampden as the Celtic/ Rangers ends. Bonus moron points for non-OF fans who participate in this stupidity...

The letter G from the sign outside Angus Sports in Montrose went missing for a considerable period of time in the early 90's...
