The local and national newspaper scene has been dying for decades even before the internet came along. There was a spell a few years back a free newspaper (The Gen) used to cover the Junior teams in Glasgow North East area from Ashfield to Shettleston. Great coverage, only problem was it was fortnightly and then it was monthly. It not only covered matches but included things like reports of club agm’s. Take it went out of business since i’ve never seen it in recent years. Most clubs (although not all) have figured out social media as being in the clubs interest. Sad when you see a Junior club’s social media pages that nobody has updated in months. Every club should update social media twice a week, once to notify your own support your playing home or away and the score on a Saturday night. Not posting for months is just neglect.

Evening Times gave a full page report on the St Roch’s v Largs Thistle Junior Cup game in the Monday edition. Got a sneaking feeling Jim wouldn’t have minded reporting a win for the City club but alas it was not to be.

Saw Accies play Aberdeen in there in 1979, 12,000 turned up for a Scottish Cup tie.

My memory of this after the 3 game marathon (i saw it all) and folks had lost the will to live there was still one outstanding totally meaningless league game to be played. I’ll leave you to guess which two teams had still to play.

Somebody must have told the Scottish media the same story because it takes about 30 seconds to press in Largs Euromillions winners and plastic pitch/ training facilities for locals and out pops the info.

Sounds good. Will it be in the Glencairn Venue? Is there a band?

Dutch you say, Johnny would probably sort you out for free.

Train every 30 minutes to and from Glasgow Central, plenty of pubs and cafes. If you and your chums are looking for a smoke just ask for Johnny in any of the pubs and you’ll be sorted in 10 minutes. So i’m told.

Also notice Whitletts have only 7 league games left to play.

St Roch’s v Largs Thistle

Fair play to Tablot getting on the ITV news there.

Think the attendance was 103,000

Love St?

Londonderry?

Liam Neeson spends a week looking for a black person in Northern Ireland. Hardly the brightest me thinks.
