Referenced on Off The Ball yesterday, Jimmy Johnstone and Tommy Gemmell celebrate following a 0-0 draw in Prague against Dukla that saw Celtic safely through to the 1967 European Cup final.
Do you agree with Tam Cowan that young Tommy is a ringer for Liam Neeson?
No. The correct answer is Danny Kaye. Jimmy Johnstone, however, does appear to resemble a loveable little puppet that Roger DeCourcy decided not to use in his act.

He also had Amarillo by Tony Christie as one of the songs.
It's a song that I instantly associate with Cowan as it is outdated and utterly dreadful
Right up (or down) there with his other stuff in other words.
As someone else on here said he's about the same age as Noel Gallagher but he listens to music my papa liked!!!
Nothing wrong with liking so called 'easy listening' from before you were born if it's the good stuff like Tony Bennett or Sinatra's Capitol recordings but with Tam Cowan it's always the lowest common Humperdinck or Tony Christie or Christian denominator. Also why has he no love or knowledge of the history of Motherwell. He whitters on about to the 1991 cup win yet never mentions them being champions in 1932 (a greater achievement) or indeed their first cup win in 1952.

Still Game (2002-2019)
"Do you like the PlayStation?"
The boys from Slough were narrowly beaten by the boys from Craiglang who are up ten places from 18th in the 2012 poll. Kiernan and Hemphill took a sketch from Chewin' The Fat and spun 9 series out of it as Jack and Victor plus pals get up to all sorts in a Glasgow scheme in a show that has (like it or not) become something of a Scottish national treasure.
Something something... the BBC... weegification... Scottish culture.
Mrs Brown's Boys for the buckfast generation. Inexplicably popular. Up there with Rangers, Celtic & religiously segregated education as something to despair of in the Scottish culture. Is it too late to vote for 'The Vital Spark' ?

Can’t be bothered reading previous pages but the solution is get the whinging, self entitled old firm to feck.
This is it exactly. The problem isn't Collum, Dallas (Andrew or Hugh), Tom Wharton, Bobby Davidson or Jack Mowat it is two clubs who, due to the fact that their support is almost exclusively made up of ill educated bigots, seem to think, indeed need to think, that referees are either proddy dogs or cathy cats and thus officiate against them accordingly. The SFA, The SPFL and all our clubs need to stand as one and accept that while our refs may be inept they are not biased. Any club that does not accept that should be thanked politely and invited to immediately seek another country in which to play their football.

Lovely stuff! I think I included Mid Morning Matters on my list as I think it's the more outright funny series but I'm glad there's some Partridge in there. I used to binge the entire thing about every two months when I was a student and the number of quotable lines are insane. They've done a largely great job with the resurrection of the character with the Gibbons brothers but the original is still probably the best
The Day Today should be high in any list for Partridge's Race Horse reporting alone - "Two Headed Sex Beast" - "Massive Bereavement" - "Platitude Queen" ...

Some of us had to suffer Willie Collum when he was on the way up..
Can we not just ban the Old Firm and leave Willie Colum out of this ?

Not that I need to justify my support to anyone, but I grew up supporting my club when we were winning nothing and still loved the club. I'd still love my club if we were relegated in the future. I love playing and watching football and I just happened to be brought up being a Celtic fan. I don't have to apologise for the fact that we're the biggest club in the country.
Edited to add: Also not our club's fault that our main rivals cheated for approximately a decade via financial doping and subsequently went bust.
If you grew up at a time when Celtic 'won nothing' you must be in your mid 80's at least so I will bow to the wisdom of your years but as someone who grew up in the 1960s/70s I have never known a time when Celtic 'won nothing'. I've known times when Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs, Dundee United, Dundee, etc etc 'won nothing' but never Celtic so we can park that little tale of woe. You can support who you want without anyone's permission if that's what makes you feel good.

Porridge (1974-1977)
"Suffer from any illness? "
"Bad feet"
"Paid a recent visit to a doctor or a hospital ?"
"Only with me bad feet"
"Are you now or have you at any time been a practicing homosexual?"
"What, with these feet ? Who'd have me ?"
It's visiting time at Slade Prison, where Norman Stanley Fletcher is serving at Her Majesty's Pleasure as best he can in the classic 70's comedy.
Clement & La Frenais's not quite at the level of their masterpiece 'Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads' but then what is ?

Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads ? (1972-1974)
"I'd offer you a beer, but I've only got 6 cans"
Our first foray into classic British sitcom territory sees Britain's premier Geordie TV duo (yeah, you heard me Ant + Dec) chat about beer, women and some class analysis as well. These boys would be all over the Infuriating Things Your Partner Does thread if they posted on here.

This absolutely reeks of insecurity.
So what is it about Celtic that you like ? The obscene financial advantage that ensures they are almost always guaranteed to win domestically. ? Must be a nice , secure feeling knowing that 'your' club will always win.

Interesting little snippet at the right hand foot of the page. A 13 year old Paul McStay signs S-Forms for Celtic.
Well on his way to becoming one of the ten most overrated players in the history of Scottish football.

99% of the away fans were singing the party tunes, I just don't believe that it just happens to be the P&B Sellick supporters club are the 1% abstaining from the party tunes.
If you were actually disgusted by their shite, which you should be, you just wouldn't attend Celtic away games as this shite is sung at 100% of them.
It's becoming increasingly untenable in this day and age for anyone's claims of anti-bigotry and anti-secterianism to be taken seriously when they continue to support and financially back Rangers & Celtic. The overwhelming evidence that the clubs actively encourage and need the cretins among their support, Celtic 'welcoming' back The Bigotry Brigade to 'improve the atmosphere' being but the latest example, can no longer be ignored . If you despise and are repulsed by bigoted tribalism then do not support clubs who encourage it. It's really that simple, otherwise don't get upset when people assume you're ok with all the garbage that comes with these clubs.

How can you say something is poor without comparing it to anything? You must have a standard to judge against.
Competitiveness, fair and equitable balance of finances, referring decisions and media arse licking between all clubs. Exciting, close and unpredictable matches. I know what these things are without knowing or caring what goes on on other country's leagues because I have seen them in Scotland in my lifetime. And I know that these things are now almost totally missing in Scotland's top flight. That's all I'm saying. Saying 'but look at Greece or Austria or whatever' is just the kind of 'whataboutary' that our beloved Old Firm indulge in

Good. I couldnt give a f**k about Morecambe either, to the point ive no idea what division theyre even in.
England is over 10 times bigger than Scotland and the EFL suckles from the teet of the richest league on the planet. Youd have to be an absolute moron with a brain sized cavity in their head to not expect their lower divisions to have similar quality to our top flight splattered throughout it.
Theres National League sides down there from larger cities than some of our top flight sides and folk are acting that its some horrendous mark against Scottish football that thet get bigger crowds.
Its neighbour watching of the most pathetic degree and any grown man involving themselves in such shite seriously needs to find another way of dealing with their balding middle aged crisis.
Your ability to spout humourless abuse is to be admired. But why are you so angry ?

The winter break
in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Posted
Bin the nonsensical break which only really benefits the bigots, more midweek fixtures in August/Sept and finish the season early May and restart in August. Give players and supporters a proper summer break to recharge batteries. None of this Cup Final in June, season starts again in July garbage.
