  1. I thought Lee Connelly was excellent, I got the fear every time he got the ball.
  2. Hendersons goal celebration was great, love to see somebody so happy to score ,only rivalled in my time watching Falkirk by Richie Cadette in showing so much unbridled joy at scoring. His goal was from the same range as most of Richies as well.
  3. I for one welcome our new Welsh overlords.
  4. I stuck a pound on them at 40/1 thinking it will be a consolation if it does happen, I didn't think it was remotely likely to till I saw the team. Absolutely bizarre to change the team like that unless its the challenge cup. Hope he makes big changes in the second half.
  5. Caught a bit of open all mics today Chick was bang on form Leean Crichton had to tell him there was a red card in the game he was reporting at.
  6. Mines just paid out had Hamilton to score and Raith to win and a no on both teams to score. It was the Hamilton part of it that was unsettled for ages. They were still offering a cash out of £1.07 15 minutes after the game finished.
  7. They must have been gutted there was no patio furniture to throw.
  8. He was at the very least a 7/10 every week at that point, had all the premier leagues fullbacks on toast. The first time I saw him during this period was a Tuesday night at East End when he destroyed them and it ended 4-0. I was young at the time but in my hazy memory he played better that night than the Hearts semi final. At that time in his career he should have been playing for a bigger team and had he been playing for a more fashionable team would have won a few caps. It is our good fortune that he played for us during that time and our even better fortune that he came back for his swansong.
  9. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/08/suella-braverman-accuses-police-of-double-standards-on-rallies We are through the looking glass now. A Home Secretary undermining the police just to further her ambitions. She is genuinely loopy and genuinely dangerous. No competent government would allow her to be in charge of anything beyond counting paper clips.
  10. Tavernier to score any time continues to be the easiest money going.
  11. No doubt. I was from Clackmannan,went to Lornshill and worked at Safeway in my 6th year when it opened so knew lots of folk from the surrounding areas. I'd seen you talking about Somerfield and the guy getting crushed before, my pal Cammy worked there and was a witness at the hearing so you possibly worked with him. Treetops was okay, generally a good atmosphere in there . Nighthawks was grim. They had the cheek to turn you away if you had trainers on I saw a guy get glassed for dancing 'funny' in there.
  12. The annual fortnight of twats setting off fireworks at random intervals has started in Stenhousemuir which means Juno is on the lead all the time for all walks if we can get her out the door in the first place. She takes off like pre junk food/Dundee Utd Collin Samuel at the slightest noise because she is on edge at all times.
  13. I saw more trouble in Alloa when I drank there as a teenager in the late 90's than I ever saw in Glasgow or Edinburgh. I think it was all quite tribal there with teenagers from Alloa, Sauchie, Clackmannan, Tullibody and the hillfoots all drinking in the same places., plus the young neds that used to hang about outside looking for trouble. The taxi rank was a war zone at times. I used to do the Treetops then Nighthawks doubler. I can barely fight sleep but I ended up getting dragged into a few scraps at kicking out time. The Meadowpark in Bridge of Allan and the wee shitty nightclub beside it could be quite mental too. I got saved from a tanking at the hands of ex Stirling Albion and Alloa player/psycopath Chris 'kicky' Wood there by a bouncer who took pity on me. I think I glanced in his general direction, so I can only blame myself. Bizarrely I also met Colin Hendry in there.
