Rankine did a similar thing. At one of the games I stewarded at during Clydebank's time at Boaghead, when asked how we (the Sons) were doing, his reply was "Dumbarton are winning 3-1". A real fan would've said "we" we're winning 3-1. Wilson's no fan.

Wasn't Stevie Ray Vaughan, was it?

Surely all you'd need to do would be to send Grampa Fraser along to keep the other Ranters occupied?

I don't think three or four points will be enough. Everyone at our end of the league will be scrapping like mad for every point they can get. Hopefully by the time we get to play Falkirk and the Arabs, their respective positions in the top four will be decided and they can send out the kids for a run, giving us a chance to capitalise.

Is that goalkeeper, or gaolkeeper?

Time's, eh? 0/10. I blame your teachers.

Snap. So am I.

Well, since I'm about a hundred and thirty twelve years old, I can remember that year (just!) - I actually have a cut-out from the Glasgow Herald with the table from that year, proudly displayed on the wall at work. We are top (alphabetically, I presume), you are a poor second. If goal difference had been a deciding factor, you wouldn't have a half-title to claim! Been mainly lurking in the Championship Forum of late, getting it tight from certain Hivs fans. Long story, too long to tell.

And a bawhair younger than mine. How ye doin'?

I'm delighted to say.....you were right.

After your recent game at the Rock, I reserve the right to be not optimistic about our prospects in the next few weeks. i take your point though... points in the bag are better than games in hand, usually.

But Ayr are just below us with a game in hand........

Just seen the score there. The greatest comeback since Lazarus!!!

My initial reaction to the final score line was F***. It would have been better if it had been a 0-0 draw. Raith were always going to get better under Hughes though, it's what he does. I'm more concerned about Ayr overhauling us than Raith being above us. And don't forget the two late goals when we played Ayr. It could quite easily happen again this Saturday. Not optimistic tonight.

"Fully understand"

Not really. Ayr could only score one goal against a Midfielder. Raith couldn't score against a part-time team. Sounds like it was a great game - not.

Is that the one that is right beside Greenhead Road? If so, it's excellent.

No, honestly, I've only ever been to Leith Walk, where I saw Meat Loaf in the Playhouse on his Neverland Express tour in1984. My honeymoon was in Morningside for two days (I was actually skint in 1985) and the only other times I was in Embra was when Tutenkhamen's tomb was displayed in 1986 or thereabouts- and I was in Waverly Station in 2016 on my return from La Republica Dominica (not skint nowadays!!). Would struggle to point out Easter Road on a map. And as I've intimated before, TR jnr is 27, not 7 and is a Jungle Jim. Like yourself, IIRC from a previous rambling of yours

I leave my 27 year old son at home and go on the lash in Leith before Hibs games, if you believe the Hibs fans. Even though I've never been to Leith in my life.

Well, Raith did take note earlier this season, but they opted for the great Gary Locke instead!!! Agree with you on the fact that he probably needs another season at Championship level to prove himself, not necessarily with us though.

The only niggling doubt I'd have about that would be that the club might sell less tickets, then get the walk-up gate swamped between 2.45 and 3pm. If you know there's a walk-up gate would your preference not be to walk up rather than try to jump through hoops to get a ticket at the club's convenience? Just a thought.

According to that article, he played for Livingstone, wherever that is!

Can I refer you to DumbartontheSons' post about an hour ago? The words "credit where credit's due" nullify your comment/question.

72's my seat number, and of course, when we were founded ............s'ok, I've put my coat on.......

Good article on the Sons' website - top ten moments of 2016. Some good memories in there.
