Saints On This Day‏ @SaintsOTD Dec 19
Steve Harrison resigns as coach less than 2 days into the job in 1992 after adverse publicity over his dismissal from Millwall a year ago.

As featured by the superb Saints on this Day twitter.

I always thought there was more to his short stay than his party piece as that was known before his appointment and rumours of him coming up, taking one look around and deciding 'what the f**k have I done' before heading back south were floating around. 

The disappearance of the media goodwill reference is down to the weegie *** lovers not forgiving Saints for sacking Totten.  They still haven't.

That last paragraph is hilarious, and demonstrates the self-importance of the weegia around that time. It's magic that these tabloids are dying out.

Never forget, the  press always have the last word Geoff

Fair enough points, but you are aware the cutting is from the good old P.A.?

English clubs being able to spend silly money on players wages is in no way indicative of Scottish football being tinpot. Especially considering it’s a player that no Motherwell fan is bothered to see go.

Partick Thistle signing players from the National League South is pretty tinpot though tbf. 

We sent him back because he was an utter shit-gibbon, tbf!

The fact that anyone is willing to spend actual money for a hatchet man like Ryan Bowman is an indication of how tin-pot the scouting network of a League Two team is

Tin pot update.

“They have made him an offer that we couldn't compete with," said manager Stephen Robinson.

 

It would seem rude to say "they made an offer that we had absolutely no intention of competing with and we're fucking delighted" - but that is the reality.

Dumbarton wearing Stenhousemuir's away kit because we turned up with our all red kit and the ref said it clashed with Stenny's home kit!

back in my days as match secretary for a tinpot East of Scotland League club you used to phone your opponent's secretary on a Thursday night and agree which kits would be worn and then phone the referee and inform him of the kits that would be worn. If the ref had a problem with the kits it could be sorted beforehand (and was on one or two occasions, usually involving sock colours). 

With similar colours have Aberdeen played in red against Hearts in maroon or Arbroath in maroon against Brechin in red recently?

Remember doing those phone calls 20 odd years ago in the Ayrshire League Div 2. Somehow in spite of all the advances in technology, it is acceptable to postpone matches because someone has forgotten to pack the kit.

This is the 2nd time this season for Peasy. Another game earlier this season was postponed as they couldn't get access to kits as the roads around Petershill Park were shut for some cycling event.

Forgot about that one, it is utterly pathetic, have watched games at Junior level & even with Killie at 1st Division senior level using other teams kit due to f**k ups. As long as the match official is happy that there is no clash then it is ok although if there is a difference from the original colours intimated then the club involved will be reported.
