It was a Sunday when Cowden skelped the Pars four years ago as well, but was definitely Saturday tea time last season. Not going to affect you though.

Partly true, but the significant upturn in fortunes under Mckinnon came when we signed Connolly, Longridge, Panayiotu and Hardie. Add James Craigen and an ever present Kevin Cuthbert into the mix and that goes a long way to explaining our ability to turn draws into narrow wins under Mckinnon.

John McCormack was sacked by Dundee in early 1998 when they were top of the league. Jocky Scott took over - they clinched the title with games to spare at Starks Park.

It got a wee mention on Sportscene tonight. Apparently it was the last time Aberdeen lost a Scottish Cup tie at Pittodrie. And it wasn't even Scott Davie who said it.

He hasn't set the heather on fire, but I wouldn't blame him entirely. The quality of service from the wings has been grim all season and punting long balls from the back to him isn't the cleverest idea.

Tade got deserved credit for his goal, but among fourteen heroic performers that night, the absolute stand out was Grant Murray. Probably his finest 90 minutes in a navy blue jersey.

Even something as simple as a cafe bar, run properly, could be a money spinner. We have a high school with over 1800 pupils within spitting distance of the ground. I know Dunnikier golf club gets a fair bit of weekday trade from Kirkcaldy High School pupils at lunchtime and the ice rink cafe now opens on weekdays to capture the trade from the new Viewforth High School. Hopefully there's a bit of potential trade from those playing on the astroturf at night.

Brown's Bazaar on the high street.

I thought Project Brace was some kind of initiative to eradicate buck teeth.

Good man. I sincerely hope the directors of my own club are of a similar mind. This is a cynical attempt by Doncaster and his cohorts to sell games featuring Celtic and The Rangers to TV companies whose target market are armchair bigots, and it was this very reason they were allowed into the Challenge Cup. Thankfully that blew up in their faces, but expect the number of overage players to be increased next season. Neil Doncaster's remuneration will undoubtedly contain incentives based on the amount of sponsorship and TV revenue brought into the game, whereas the number of punters going through the gates will have no bearing on it. It's therefore in his interest to get as much football onto the telly as he possibly can, even though this will be to the detriment of the game as a whole.

One of my all time Rovers heroes (and I'm not talking about Paul McStay). Delighted he was inducted into the HoF in November. His last competitive game for Rovers was joyous. He owned East End Park that day.

Aye, but we got to extend Jordan Thompson's loan and keep Scott Roberts. What more do people want?

Locke was just about right on that. There was no budget left. That's why we eventually ran up a near 200 grand loss.

Me too. Nicely framed by the guy at the front of the indoor market.

You do realise that one in twenty scans get it wrong? If your offspring appears with a pair of Denis Laws he's not going to thank you for that bib in later life! Seriously though, congratulations to you and your other half when the big day comes. By all means let them choose their politics and religion, but stands them in better stead to have their team chosen for them.

The 7-1 game at Brockville was at the start of November 1990 (Connor's last game in charge). However, we did play at Brockville on the 27th of November 1999 and lost 2-1 in what was ironically John McVeigh's last game in charge.

I've no sympathy for clubs and their fans who end up the creek as a result of living way beyond their means and lording over their rivals, but when a club ends up in difficulty due to bad owners, I fully sympathise and support their fans' efforts to get rid of the bad eggs. I was thinking of coming through to the game in December, but I'll see what develops re boycotts etc. Obviously want the Rovers to hump Airdrie, but hope you're successful in getting the local consortium into power.

Done

The length of queue outside the Adam Smith at 8 o'clock this morning might suggest otherwise.

Do the baby **** not play at Cappielow? The one small consolation of relegation was being spared two trips through there.

Still plenty of worthy potential inductees. Off the top of my head - Jimmy McEwan, Harry Colville, Chris Candlish and David Morris.

I hope so too, because I would have Vaughan over Simon Murray any day of the week.

Agree re points A and B. He did leave after being offered a new contract from Rovers, but it's not like the Mckinnon scenario where he was under contract. Rovers freed Ellis twice as a player when it suited them to do so, therefore I've no problem with him leaving in the circumstances he did. It would be nice to think he'll make a positive contribution to the Rovers at some point in the future, but as said above, you're spot on with A and B.

You'd think they'd be pleased it's been moved because we usually have a goalkeeper on a Saturday.

If he's from Dysart he must be alright! [emoji16]
