Specky Ginger

Mine arrived yesterday. It was in a multi coloured envelope with purple balloons on it. I was sure at first that it was an invite to a kid's birthday party

Was his name not Moses or something?

Zanatta is suspended tonight after his red card at Parkhead last season in the League Cup.

That brought me out in a cold sweat. We had a manager with the initials I M before who had a fetish for signing Scandinavians and ended up with Vetle Andersen and Odd Areld.div widget

Just eat your way into your Large size. It's much more fun than trying to slim your way into a smaller one. All you need is some sort of routine: Pre match - pub, Half time - pie stall, Post match - Valente's. You should be looking at weeks rather than months.

He was always a favourite of mine from that era. Especially when he scored the late winner with a diving header under the lights against Hearts.

Forget gold and crypto currency - old Rovers shirts are the standard investment for guaranteed economic prosperity.

If it was the shirt worn by Dave Narey when he scored that raker at Kilbowie, or better still, if it was the shirt worn by Ally Graham when he headed the late winner at East End that season, £180 would be seriously worth it.

I'm in a hoor of a cynical mood today (no idea why), but remember the last time a team managed by Brian Rice were 4 down at Stark's Park?

100% correct, although when you see some of the big foreign clubs' sponsors, Scottish teams have tended to get off lightly. The only sponsor I can think of that actually enhanced a strip was when Newcastle had the blue star with the Tyne Bridge silhouette in the 80s.

It looks so weird seeing QP tops without Irn Bru on the front.

Williamson was impressive in the away game at Firhill and very impressive in the away game at Hamilton. Other than that, I thought his signing was a hindrance to the progress of Aaron Arnott.

I suppose it's not exactly the same as handing over 50% of Nacho Novo's fee to agent Willie McKay.

Ach well, west of Cardenden, therefore the dark side of Fife.

Obviously he was at the wrong end of the age scale and Covid curtailed the season, but Steven MacLean was a decent loan signing. Weighed in with a couple of crucial goals and was good at talking Bowie through games. I thought Hardie was good in his second spell with us as well, the difference being he had Barr and Johnston supplying the service rather than Connolly and Craigen.

I'm not quite sure how pumping the ball into a crowded area equates to trying to walk the ball into the net.

Pretty much sums it up, both in terms of the actual match itself and the knicker wetting from to folk who didn't even watch the game.

Absolutely. McLeish report part two. What a pile of shite that was. Years to compile and came to the conclusion that Scotland should have a ten team top flight, despite every other league in Europe of any significance, having a 16 or 18 team top division.

Some people are saying Schiavone was listed as a trialist for Rovers last week, but others seem a tad doubtful as to whether it was him. I think he's from the Lochgelly area.

I wonder if we'll be travelling there on the Glen Sannox rather than the Highland Loch? Most probably not.

Pretty much my thoughts. My laddie is now classed as a young adult, despite still being at school, and therefore would be charged a tenner as well. I would have had to go straight from work, therefore would probably have bought some food, a couple of soft drinks in the 200 club and some 50/50s, meaning I'd probably spend somewhere between 10 and 15 quid. The reality is that the £20 admission money would be better kept for a cup tie / important away game later in the season, therefore I'll be giving tomorrow a bodyswerve.

It's been the case, as far back as I can remember, that season tickets were valid for all home friendlies, except testimonials.

Pretty much this. It's one thing saying Thomson isn't up to it, but quite another trying to find a replacement of better quality and a goalkeeper coach within our budget. Look around at the quality of back up goalies in the Championship last season - Antell at Arbroath, Mehmet at the Pars, McAdam at Ayr etc - in fact look at St Mirren in the Premier (Dean Lyness). Would you swap Thomson for any of them?

Boat from Dysart harbour to Dunbar. Quicker than the Edinburgh bypass and the A1.
