  1. Love the way the lassie kicks him in the baws
  2. Did Nditi just have a poor game yesterday or has his form gone off the edge of a cliff? For me he was one of the stand out players in the league at the start of the season.
  3. Good day all round. Hospitality was mobbed and bouncing. The boys did well, returning to form after last week's bad day at the office.
  4. Me. I keep clicking on gammony reactions on Facebook to potentially so-called Woke posts, and get depressed/ riled. Just scroll on Joe. Scroll on
  5. Schoolboy error. The Sunday Post is where you'll find her
  6. Are you as unpleasant to others as this in real life? You can't seem to help yourself
  7. Sadly the Harp appear to be struggling as well
  8. Can you inhale this balloon and go "Hi-Hi-Hi" please?
  9. There used to be a guy from the Western Isles who did Thought for the Day on Radio Scotland from time to time. He had quite an interesting delivery. It was a bit like a machine gun interrupted by a fairly lengthy pause. I always wondered if this how the folk in that neck of the woods generally spoke. Father Roddie Somethingorother
  10. Strange that Accies sales are so low. East Fife sell 150 to 200 programmes on crowds of 500 - 600.
  11. It takes a particularly special p***k to embarrass himself writing an obituary
  12. My mum used to work in a health centre. One day a guy came in with a stool sample. In an ice cream tub full to the brim.
  13. Raith wore all white with two horizontal navy blue stripes on the Jersey. East Fife wore gold shirts with black facings, black shorts, gold stockings with two black hoops. No such thing as away kits in 1971. The home team changed. Thank you
  14. I love history. In particular that of East Fife and Scottish football in general. Family history and Dundee in the mid 19th century to mid 20th century are also of great interest
  15. We share a great grandfather, and my grandfather Tommy (born 1882) was the brother of her grandmother Lizzie. My grandfather was 59 when my mum was born.
  16. This word of mouth passing down of information is interesting. My Great Grandfather died in 1938 aged 80. He received an obituary in the Tully on account of his death being unusual, having dropped dead "overcome by excitement" watching Lochee Harp. What intrigued me was the reference to having one arm. He was originally a stonebreaker to trade so I assumed that he had lost an arm building railways or suchlike - the proverbial 19th century Irish navvie. But no, just recently I came into contact with a nephew a couple of times removed who was able to confirm through an elderly relative, a great granddaughter of my Great grandfather that he had been born with one arm. This would have been in 1858. This information would have been passed down through three generations simply by word of mouth. He didn't do anything especially noteworthy in his life, but was remembered over 150 years after his birth.
