You're right about Jobson being a Celtic fan but unsure if he ever went to watch them. Bruce Watson is also a Pars fan. Not sure about Faye Fife from the Rezillos.

Rezillos was my first ever gig at Grangemouth Town Hall in the late 70’s.

Yeah, I saw him doing a night a few years ago at St Luke’s with Bruce Watson and his laddie where they spoke about their lives. Some of Jobsons stories were hilarious. He was wearing a St Pauli t’shirt that night.

I used to work with Bruce in the Dockyard years ago. He's a sound lad. Never met Jobson personally, but seen him fronting the Skids loads. In 2019 I was Sa Coma, Majorca and met Bill Simpson, went on the piss with him. He spoke fondly of Stuart Adamson, it was them who founded the Skids. He didn't have too many inspiring words for Jobson. That said he only gave up touring with the Skids 2 or 3 year ago. He's a good Pars man.

Decent band. Seen them a few times including supporting the Skids at the ballroom. The ballroom was great for punk bands back in the day. The Clash twice, The Damned, The Stranglers, UK Subs, The Ruts, Electric Chairs, The Skids, Richard Hell, Rezillos, Wreckless Eric, Suicide. Seen them all back in my youth. Also Stranglers/ Skids at Falkirk Maniqui.

We used to get loads of bands at the International too back in the day. Good times 👍

I got to Rebellion festival in Blackpool every year. Still love the music.

Seen a few punk bands over the years. Ruts, Buzzcocks, Stranglers, SLF, Skids, Eddie & the Hotrods, UK Subs, Dr Feelgood etc. Heading to the Barrowlands to SLF in a couple of weeks, always a good night.

I’ve seen them and Big Country loads of times. Seen The Skids at the Alhambra a good few years ago, was a cracking gig apart from the amount of black & white shite on show 😜 I know Adamson was a Par but I’m pretty sure I read somewhere Jobson was a Celtic man.

Jobson was my upstairs neighbour in Edinburgh fir a few years. I have no memory of ever seeing him interested in football and there was certainly no Dumbfermline material around his flat.

The update given at lunchtime (we asked as we were recording the 2nd episode of the podcast for this week) and it was 5,000 as at noon. 

Falkirk Fans or total?

I think the St Pauli t’shirts/link was more political than football.

Could be wrong, but didn’t Jobson’s brother play for Falkirk?

I can’t remember that, I could be way off the mark though. The only person I can think of musically that did play for us at one point was the guy from Glasvegas and even then I’m not sure if he made a first team appearance.
