I've got an overcoat that I wore to school and was bought from Flip of Hollywood about 1989. And a 1988 vintage Meadowbank home strip. I don't think either fit.

Strollers budget next season: the cube root of f*ck all Cowden's budget next season: a more generous square root of f*ck all.. At least Edinburgh City can outbid both of you- we've got f*ck all

I've got that shirt. I bought it in a sale for a fiver over 30 years ago. It would be worth £££s now but mine's a bit tatty. Not for sale btw.

I read an article years ago about Ian Paisley doing missionary work in Africa and there was an Orange Lodge established in whichever African country he was in. I doubt the African lodge ever get invited to take part in marches over here though.

It was only single maths which is why you were bottom of the class

Where Christie Gillies Park is now used to be the second (and shiter) pitch at Muirhouse. Strollers played on a pitch in front of the pavilion where the indoor pitches are now.

If Hearts had won it would have counted in their list of honours I imagine

What's interesting is to compare that image from nearly 35 years ago to this recent image: Our Southern pals have reclaimed the St George's Cross as their own and it's the Union Flag that now seems to be the choice for racists and tossers

Hiya Robot BFTD, hiya pal!

Radio Scotland.. great.. Edinburgh City played Montrose last Tuesday- not particularly important or interesting but the Mo are going for a play off place. Radio Scotland reported the results of the Champions League games that weren't even involving English teams, let alone Scottish ones and were silent on City's glorious win...

The Shire were in the bottom division from the early 1980s until 2016 which is about 34 years. They came close to promotion once or twice during that spell but were mostly dugmeat.

I used to have a copy of a booklet that someone had posted somewhere about Paties Road- it was originally built for use of Heriot Watt University. It was the revived Edinburgh City's first ground too. Until fairly recently there was a nursery school in the back of the stand which made for a bizarre visit! Posh neighbours Merchiston Castle School moved out to that campus from the Merchiston area. Their old campus hosted an FA Cup Tie between Queens Park and Nottingham Forest in Eighteen Oatcake. There's not a lot of people know that.

Is Old Trafford looking as tatty as English fans say it is? I went in 2012 for the Olympics and I thought it was pretty good back then but that was 12 years ago..

Buckie won the Highland League today. Imagine they beat EK in the play off and then decide they don't particularly want to go up. A couple of dodgy own goals in a match against Clyde later...

We got a penalty today???!

Talking of English fees: Back in 2015: "Cardiff City have signed striker Eoin Doyle from Chesterfield for an undisclosed fee worth around £1m." It's a bit of a ridiculous market down south

"We hate the boys in Royal Blue, We hate the Celts who always ming..." could also work

Because the Magratheans wouldn't let Slartibartfast put fjords on it.

Is one of Taylor's songs called "Ode to a small lump of green putty I found in my armpit one midsummer morning"? If not she can f**k off. Signed Paul Neil Milne Johnstone of Redbridge

"Degeneracy and mutilation" is a good title for a history of the Ayrshire Juniors

He was a hard bastud. Hope he nutted the Grim Reaper on the way out

Those coats look like Flashers' macs!

Rainbow FC? Someone Bungle-d that signing. Mind you, a bloke in a bear suit might have been a better player
