HibeeJibee Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I'm surprised a mixture of wolfsbane, deadly nightshade and chloroform were considered wise ingredients in heat rub by the 1890s... let alone accidentally drinking the stuff... but apparently it was an established recipe called 'ABC Liniment' and despite poisonings lasted until 1930s!A.B.C.

Even in the 1950s the BBC refused to play "Hold My Hand" by that rumbustious yahoo Don Cornell because it starts "so this is the kingdom of Heaven". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Steve Itchybaws and Jimmy 1690 Nicholl in October 1981 as Scotland earned a goalless draw at Windsor Park to qualify for the following years World Cup in Spain, our opponents that night would join us by beating Israel in their final match, the Israelis were actually the bottom seed in that group, the supposed whipping boy and the two teams who missed out on qualification behind us were Portugal and Sweden which, looking back is pretty mental considering the modern pecking order in European football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Kenny Burns, or Kenneth as his Nottingham Forest manager, the late great Brian Clough referred to him, up for a corner against Peru in 1978 on a night Ally McLeod, Alan Rough and virtually all of Scotland would rather forget on what in hindsight wasn't even the low point of that World Cup for Scotland. Remember watching an interview with Alan Rough about that World Cup and it's staggering how unprofessional Scotland were going into that tournament, particularly from the manager it has to be said who did absolutely zero homework or analysis on our opponents, Rough asked if they had anyone decent on set pieces and McLeod shrugged his shoulders in a 'haven't a clue' type response, Laughable and embarrassing in equal measure. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
