Don't know if this man declared (Sounds like a Dee man to me)..,. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Kidd_(wrestler) (Is this wrestling thread the most TinPot thing on P&B?)

I hope that's so, Joey. For both your sentences. It all seemed to make sense writing it at the time. Age? Drugs? (prescribed) Being no weel?

Pretty well spot on with that. Bumper was by far the best entertainer but with limited options ahead (Joey (nah not you) and Drew) and much depended on the opposition. Scanlon a good workhorse and Weir, well, a real head down hard runner skilful mover with a vision of what lay ahead. Is the day of the great winger gone forever? Last decent one to grace the home dressing room?

That's what happens when you wear flares.

Very Glasgow. Corporation Transport had to feature both Green and Orange so both sets of supporters could happily use the service.

'Fraid that makes 7 yellows = 3.5 reds, but still worth the appeal. These circular debates rang throughout P&B before VAR and it's introduction has just added a new extra-ref level. Good try though Pete.

You wouldn't laugh if you'd had Kleen Prep or whatever other pre-poke option was available. I've still got after-effects 4 days later. Farts remain a serious risk to laundry. Good on you Sarge.

A profound and accurate assessment. Unlike the AFC statement.

“We all recognise that Monday’s disastrous result in the Scottish Cup was totally unacceptable. It added insult to injury after such a poor result against Hearts, following what was a strong performance in the semi-final against Rangers at Hampden. “The football monitoring board, comprising Stewart Milne, Willie Garner, Steven Gunn and me, have now had a full and frank meeting with Jim. It wasn’t an easy conversation, but necessary after the overall poor results since the World Cup break. “From our wider discussions over the last two days, we believe that the senior players and the squad are behind the manager. Combined with our discussions at today’s meeting, Jim will be in the dug-out on Saturday. However, to be clear, Jim has been left in no doubt that the Board and the fans are seeking an immediate response from him and the players.”

Similar experience for me, with a wee trauma added in. Just about to be put under when another surgical team member appeared in the room - a lady that I know socially (not intimately). Well, of course she knows me a bit more intimately now. Almost as embarrassing as last night's football. Almost.

So, how do you describe Aberdeen FC to inform or remind the unknowing British public. Here's the Torygraphs effort. Not entirely inaccurate other than the misspelling but... The excitement continues for Gall after watching his side turn over Scottish Premiership stalwarts Abderdeen, the team of Sir Alex Ferguson, Gordon Strachan and Eoin Jess.

Absolutely this. First man to Captain a Cup winning side in both Scotland and England*. And Eddie Turnbull had built a decent team around him - some inherited, some brought in. Other than the Fergie era, most AFC team lists are utterly forgettable but all 11 here are etched in the memory, not just as Cup winners. Decent opposition too. Nostalgia : None of this 5 subs nonsense and a traditional Master Mason at the helm. * And captained the same two teams as the first man to manage Cup winning sides North and South of the border.

There's only one Martin Buchan. However old is he now, he'd be a great addition/improvement to the back line. Classy.
