8MileBU Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Bingo! Strange memory because I can’t really remember anything about the game other than Jay being a wee hot tattie and a red-card waiting to happen all game. Sticks in my mind because the BU faithful were winding him up all game and it got to him. He was a seething mess at the ‘Waaaay!’ from BU fans when he got sent off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
