    This is from a 1950 programme of a game between Western Australia and an Australian XI on their return from a Southern African tour. The WA had a quite a few Scots in their squad.

    Read an obituary about Ron Lord who was Australia’s goalie in the 1950’s. He took over from Norman Conquest after Australia lost 1-13 and 0-17 to an England XI in 1951. Seemed to have improved things as they only lost 1-4, 1-6 and 0-5 in the other “Tests”. Found links to some programmes on ozfootball.net and discovered a Scottish player called Tom Jack ex Third Lanark and Dunfermline Athletic played in a few of the games against England and later on twice captained Australia. He is in the picture below probably playing for the Victoria against England in one of two games at the MCG as the Australia v England game in Melbourne was at Richmond Cricket Ground. Jackie Sewell had been transferred from Notts County to Sheffield Wednesday earlier that year for a record English transfer fee of £34,500. Tom Jack’s pen picture is from the game v England in Brisbane and the Scottish “ups and downs” from the game in Adelaide.

    This is from the Evening Telegraph of Monday 18 April 1910. It has a report and a report and a couple of grainy pics of the Dundee 0 Clyde 0 Scottish Cup Final Replay but quite a few bits about other games on the Saturday. I’ve included the Dee Archive link in case it’s too difficult to read. https://www.deearchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=570

    Just above that hoarding in there are some people up a tree that doesn’t look as safe as some on other trees. Might just be the quality of picture playing tricks.

    Copied the English picture from Wikipedia page about that Final. Here is a film of a Preston North End v Aston Villa game in 1905 where you can only tell the keeper by their cap. The PNE goalie is probably Peter McBride who was from Ayr and played played over 400 games for PNE between 1896 and 1912. He also played 6 times for Scotland.

    CUP FINAL RESULTS All the scores are in and we have three winners and one Final heading for extra time and hopefully no penalty kicks. All finals were extremely close contests, especially the drawn one. Have to say the Rupe’s Cup result comes across like something that would have graced the pages of the NOTW. RUPE’S ENGAGEMENT CUP FINAL @Arch Stanton 7 v @MEADOWXI 8 THE NOT A WHITE WEDDING CUP FINAL @Bully Wee Villa 5 v @SlipperyP 4 THE D.I.V.O.R.C.E CUP FINAL @Aubrey Maturin 5 v @Spring Onion 4 CELIBACY CUP FINAL @peasy23 4 v 4 @Snobot Congratulations to @MEADOWXI for his first cup win, @Bully Wee Villa for first individual but third overall win and @Aubrey Maturin for his sixth win. Here are the winners cups, fill them as best you can.

    Third Lanark won the Scottish Cup for the second and last time on this day in 1905. They had won the League the season before. They defeated the original Rangers 3-1 in a replay (att: 30,000) after drawing 0-0 (att: 54,000) a week earlier. On the same day at the old Crystal Palace Aston Villa won the FA Cup for the fourth time defeating Newcastle United 2-0 (att: 101,117). Villa didn’t have any Scottish players but their manager/secretary was Glasgow born George Ramsay who played for them from 1876-1882 and managed them from 1886-1926. Under him Villa won the FA Cup 6 times and were losing finalists twice.. They also won the League six times and finished runners-up six times with a league and cup double in 1896/97. Newcastle United also had a Scottish manager, Edinburgh born Frank Watt plus six Scottish players in the Cup Final, Jimmy Lawrence (GK), Andy McCombie (RB), Alex Gardner (RH), Andy Aitken (CH), Peter McWilliam (LH) and James Howie (IR). Have just assumed the positions they played from the line-up in Wikipedia. Watt was manager/secretary from 1995-1930 winning the FA Cup twice and the League four times.

    Beer cans and soft drink cans go to different end recyclers supposedly and it’s harder to identify what’s what if crushed.
