    It’s easy to find on YouTube. He collected it from a throw in on the right side of the box, cut across beating two defenders before hitting an unstoppable shot in to the top corner. I remember at the time thinking they were very similar goals.

    Yes, they were very similar. As I said (not very clearly), the goal against Spain was right in front of me in the old enclosure in front of the main stand.

  2. Dalglish's belter was v Spain surely.
    Mo Johnston got both goals in the France game IIRC.
    I was replying to the post directly above mine which referred to the France 2-0 and Spain 3-1 games but I should have said it was the Spain game I was in the enclosure for. I was behind the goals at the France game. Yes, Johnston scored both goals- think he was playing for Nantes at the time.
  3. This comes up fairly regularly on here and I'm also in the pro-Derek Ferguson camp just down to his enthusiasm. His coverage of the Motherwell v Hibs 6-6 game a while ago was tremendous and brightened up my dad's stay in hospital at the time. He's also acknowledged he didn't stick in at school and isn't the most eloquent but he's still very good at describing the action.

  4. Better not replying to him. The city that he so despises is the home to a fair amount of supporters for his own team 
    I had been thinking that. There are a lot of supporters of other teams (including myself) who live in Glasgow. Admittedly we are very much in the minority but by that logic you'd be as well wiping out every town and city in the country due to the presence of Celtic and Rangers supporters in them.
  5. I see the Lidl and Aldi seemingly annual now Christmas time releases are out. Both 18yo and both 39.99. Incredible value. The Aldi is a speyside and it's out now. The Lidl is the Ben Bracken again, is an Islay and think is out next week. 
    They tend to disappear fast so keep an eye out. The Aldi one you can get on their website but you need to buy 6 bottles to get delivery. Thankfully that includes mix and matching with their cheap and also fantastic wine so wasn't a bother for me. 
    Cheers. The 18yo Islay from Lidl was tremendous at £35 last year. Finished my bottle a few weeks ago so will keep an eye out.
  6. I'm over 60 and live in an area populated by retirees and assorted coffin dodgers and get regular junk mail about 'meals to your door' or 'disabled showers' or 'DIY hip replacements using dental adhesive' - ok so I made that last one up but you get the point.
    Today's missive was from Pure Cremation who, for about £1,700 , will collect your cold, dead body and then burn it and either scatter your ashes somewhere in England or put them in an urn and send them back to your loved ones.  No ceremony needed or wanted.
    Sounds like the perfect option for you.
    I have no idea about the costs of these things but that seems a lot for a no-frills cremation.
