There's a bloke in my work that's the spitting image of a player we had in the 70's - I think his forename was Ally but can't quite remember the surname.

Oi! For we made a promise.......

Increasingly desperate Journo: If you didn't have European games and the subsequent revenue, would there be a possibility of another period of administration at Motherwell? Motherwell representative: Possibly. Hello Editor, I've got a story. It's pretty thin but it falls into the remit we've been given to do all we can to scaremonger those that may put sporting integrity above all else.

Beautifully vague.

Correct, you do know about currents after all.

Another one from the seventies. What was the name of the BBC news programme that featured Thistle?

Bobby Houston

John McNaught was a player in the Roy Aitken mould. I will always remember him going tonto in the back of the net after scoring a very late equalizer against Forfar in the Scottish Cup in 1988.

It's 74.36 yards by 114.83 yards.

I want to commend the original poster on the balance he has shown with his sympathy towards to events of 15/04/89 and his views that a line should be drawn under the tragedy. 23 years ago come Sunday is the only time I've left a game at Firhill early - 10 minutes into the second half. Some chap in the main stand had a radio and was relaying the news from Sheffield. I was there with my Dad and Grandfather and it is the only time I'd ever seen them visably upset at anything in my life. It was only much later that I found out that my old man was on that stairwell at Ibrox where so many people lost there lives and, I guess, it brought a lot of bad memories for them. I was too young to know what was going on at that time and didn't know he was there. For additinal information he was there with a Falkirk supporting friend of his for something to do. The fire at Valley Parade was a tragic accident caused by a discarded cigarette. Heysel was caused by crowd voilence where scared innocent fans attempted to escape a thuggish rampage by hooligans. Please bear in mind that this was not uncommon in the eighties and even a game at Firhill was stopped because of this behaviour. Ibrox was a consequence of a late goal where the flow out of the ground was halted leading to the crush. Hillsborough was caused by human error and, has been previously posted, a massive cover up and smear campaign ensued from that moment. I, for one, would want justice in those cicumstances. For the record, I think there is nothing wrong with Liverpool requesting that they play on the Saturday to avoid playing on the anniversary and the FA of England granting that reasonable request.

I know catholics that are in the Masons, although not in the West of Scotland. It's looked upon differently in other areas. I know plenty of Jags fans - past and present - that are members. Ever seen Mr. Lambie's tattoo?

I am aware what reflex means (hence the alternative given) and plead guilty to the 'BITE' jibe by your friend. Apologies to you for the smartarse comment. Only trying to back you up big fella.

I think you should have used reactions instead of reflexes. It's another example of the smartarsery that can be occasionally found on this site. I think everyone knew what you meant.

I think we need a black one-legged lesbian saxsophonist to join the group.

At the moment cost trumps atmosphere. It's where we are which is sad on many levels.
