It was a day and date to be remembered and far from drowning my spirits, I loved it. Is there anything better than you and something or someone else you love? If you are lucky enough to share something, to be there and experience it, whether that is time with your loved one or time with something you love, then don’t take it for granted. The game during the day and a wee date night cinema restaurant combo to see Stan and Ollie, another fine mess I got myself into.... for a change. This isn’t a doctor’s report but my auld man still isn’t himself and was going to miss the game and recover from a tiring Friday. Old folk and old memories and old records of good old players and good old days. I’m glad he decided after some encouragement to come with as he too can say he was there. I treasure the time and the things we still share. I’m glad I was there with him. The weather wasn’t promising much so we wrap up well and park on a busy street, dodging the puddles as we alight, plod along the well trodden path and join a 20 strong queue waiting to pay it. It was the grey and cold of a day that makes you pull your jacket a little bit closer, my auld man resplendent in my old Candy hat which he has now claimed, heads for the coffees and pies but it is queued, like the turnstile, back to the entrance. A decent crowd in already with a healthy band of merry Shottsers for what was to prove a milestone day. I go outside and procure another bunnet for a tenner and the cold is blocked out as it slips like a glove over my head... “take the tag aff big man” and 4 guys near me start scratching around their ankles (joke!) so I remove the label and I feel ready for the game as we exchange handshakes and debriefs about last week and our red card misery (sometimes ability is drowned by behaviour) and I chew the fat and share a few laughs about better times with the lads. A quick chat with former Candy team mate John Logan....the Logie of my days..They were all there too.... The Candy start well and go 2 up with some slick passing play in spite of the conditions. We play better I think than a lot of people give us credit for. We certainly play better than the weather and it looks like it could be anything as Shotts struggle and slip slide away a 2 goal start. Their MyLeftFoot number 9 starts to make some good runs and is playing well, taking up good positions and holding the ball up well as Shotts’ shakey start suddenly screeches to a free headed goal stop and they are back in it. I actually called the free header before it happened as we don’t even line up properly to defend corners. I don’t understand how our centre backs allow this rubbish to continue. Grab a hold of the situation and bawl everyone into alertness and responsibility for their actions. We seem too timid and too tame and too quiet to defend them properly. Get yer bloody elbows oot lads! Don’t let players run across you.. ever! If they outjump you or are better than you or stronger than you then it is fair enough but we are slapstick comedy defenders when we act like this. Big Oliver Hardy could have got off the ground better than us. As it was their guy rose (not like a salmon) like a snake and nodded home. There’s a shock. We trudge toward a half time cuppa and there is only one goal in it with Shotts picking up as the half draws to a close. I was disappointed and even more so when I saw the queue was still the same for coffees. “Maybe if our back 4 were serving we would be able to get to the counter more easily?”... harsh but if the bowler hat fits. True words said in jest.... we needed more in the second half... I spoke to a former Fauldhouse player Jordan Love who was a sub for Shotts at half time. Not just left on the bench but left out of the dressing room at half time too! He scored a 93rd minute last game of the season goal away at StAndrews that kept us up on goal difference a few seasons ago.... I was there...... It is hardly an “All covered stadium” as someone said (He reminded me of an old guy who once called his “all inclusive” hotel “fully comprehensive”. I was going to ask if that included holiday insurance but I feared it might have been lost on him!) but after the tailor report not only criticised the track suits and strips then redressed us and initiated ground development, it was a fabulous sight to see all areas full and everyone settling in for the second half. Rab and Logie had one each and Jordan was sitting on 98 lifetime Candy goals. We stepped it up and after another one each for our scorers and Shotts, we sit at 4-2 when the keeper wipes out a CandyMan and the ball is in the spot. Rab hands the call to Logie who steps up and rolls home his one hundredth landmark goal as a Candy player. Well done son, be proud, be very proud. He is certainly etched in Candy top goal scorer history now with old legends of the past (one of those, The legend that is Shuggy Farrell, still comes to the odd game too). Shotts Nick one just after Logie is subbed to applause and handshakes all round and the game is done. I was there.... The new terrace sheds were a godsend yesterday as all 4 covered enclosures were brusting at the seems like Ollie’s shirt. It was so packed in the main enclosure that grown men were asking to push in to the front to see, like the young terrace dreamers we were as children... when footballers were mythical heroes and the pace and colour and the noise and the glamour and the magic of the football we loved planted the seeds that, for us all, still bloom and flourish and make us think and smile and remember all that was and all that we were and all that we shared. Some great Candy shouts including “The ref can talk mandarine” (rhymes with tangerine) and as the rowdy fans opposite cheered a disallowed goal “Shove it up yer sheep’s arse”.... and finally when Logie was subbed “ yay should huv left him oan. Ah wan-tid a hunner an wan!” Shotts limped home out of the cup, back to the Blue Ridged Mountains of Shottginia on the trail of the lonesome pine, heavy legged but heavy pocketed from their share of the packed gate. I hope they didn’t get a share of the pie stall too.... you wouldn’t be able to shove all that up your pet sheep’s arse...... perhaps they’ll try? “I wish I was there, to show you I care, to show you my love, and to show you I’ll always be there.” Jimmy McGrory was smiling yesterday as the rain lashed down on a mammoth crowd and a historic milestone was reached. There are days when it is good to say you were there. I can remember all sorts in my football life, some good and some bad. If you can treat both those imposters the same then you have a vivid library of experience, well logged and catalogued and filed in easy to access memory folders... I access them regularly and they are one of my most valuable possessions. I add to it regularly and whilst most could be deleted easily, I don’t think yesterday will..... when history is made it is good to be there. It cements a bit of you in it forever and like Stan and Ollie, no matter how many years pass, it goes together. That’s just the way it is. We can all take something from that... and that’s that. We were there. Exactly....Fine..... Swell. Mon the Candy! MTC! ️ Ive missed this, essential reading for true footy fans.Just wondering if your job is negotiating Brexit, lol, are you away back to Brussels, surely you can find the time for pie and bovril between meetings, doh! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
