Happy Dosser

"That semi against Rangers at the end of the clip still makes my blood boil 45 years on.........Mr JRP Gordon will never be forgotten !!! Corrupt h*n c**t !!! " Yes, AllyMax, it's a pity he and his linesmen only got caught out over bribes from AC Milan a bit later. I was having a Jumping Jack Flash in the bog in a certain pub in Larky later in the 70s and found Stewart Mclaren in the next space. He mentioned dark deals at half time in the semi which I was shocked by (but secretly agreed with) and it was in 1978 that the SFA suspended him and the two others. A good pal always referred to JPR as Mr Bastard of Gordon on Tay: harsh but true. I remember Willie P being hacked down at the Rangers end by Greig with the score at 2-0 and then the roof fell in. Crying in the hail after 90 mins. King Lear, ya bass. I'm not bitter, btw

Great stuff: nostalgic views of the Art Deco "Front Door" and the old ground, complete with "my" usual crush barrier at the Taggart's End (halfway up and just to the left of the goal). That Pettigrew Turn was quite devastating, particulary for Roddy MacDonald, who must have needed counselling after every game against him. We were a fast, skilful, physical team with that little bit of magic from the likes of Graham, Marinello and Davidson. Before we changed to the diagonal band I don't recall seeing us win at Parkhead but then suddenly we went on quite a winning streak there while wearing it. At half-time in the Fir Park 3-2 Cup match I was sitting beside two Sellick fans in the main stand who were patronising the hell out of me at 0-2 ("Aye, yer a good wee team, unlucky, but.."). Their faces were stony after Willie P had done his stuff and Kenny D put the ball over the bar in the last minute. Happy days.

Excellent news. What about some vandalised toilet bowls for added authenticity? That would be smashing.

I have to confess I have a Sellick-supporting pal who has suggested your finished article should be encased in the Club Honours display section, and quite rightly so, imo.

Yes, that was the radio clip I remember. Thanks for sharing, guys. Still shaking my head and smiling large.......

Yes, an impossible, breath-taking goal that more than made up for RF's feeble penalty, and probably the greatest goal I have seen in the flesh. I heard Derek Ferguson's radio commentary at the goal later and it was hysterically incoherent, in a good way. I don't suppose it's still available now but he couldn't believe his eyes and reacted accordingly: hilarious stuff. I got so annoyed with Ian Bell's article I wrote an answering letter to the paper the following Sunday and got a bottle of Old Pulteney back, which I magnanimously donated to my thrapple. Lucas J's still knocking them in for Birmingham, so good luck to him, demi-god wot he is.

Astonishing work, especially the weathering. The yella paint splashes in the aisles of the POD will be challenging, though .

Thanks for that. That's the foatie I remember but I see I got the year wrong and I was actually there!

A great reworking of the 1966 "Pat Delaney" Summer Cup jersey. Thanks, UBH, for cheering us up with these great designs in difficult times.

For some reason I was in the enclosure in front of the main stand that night and almost grat myself, but that was because I was laughing so much at Andy's marvellous efforts. My only other visits there were for a Texaco Cup match (?) against Notts County and a game against The h**s when "Bomber" Brown deliberately drilled a hard clearance into the East stand. God knows what would have happened if he'd hit a wee kid. I was pretty disgusted by his behaviour that night.

"Personally I prefer the 100 year thing, although it wasn’t that long ago that I helped in the production of a 125 anniversary shirt. That particular shirt sold out, and I’m sure they made some money from it. " It was the hoop wot done, it, UBH .

Seconded.

My Killie pal thinks Davie Sneddon is in the foreground and Matt Watson behind on right. Where's Squirrelhumper when you need him?

Thanks, Kmcalpin. I have an old Killie-supporting pal I should have consulted on this, on reflection. Will see if I can get confirmation. As a wee boy, my memory of Charlie Aitken *bows in respect* in the 60s was of this blond head towering above others at corners and powering in headers.

Could/should be as per usual team of the time but I didn't think he was fair enough to be Charlie. Re the rest, yes, it is BR. Andy Weir was still in hospital, I think. "Willie McCallum marking Colin Stein": in oh so many ways! Ditto Peter Millar and Kenny D. The ned haircuts of the Celtic Corinthians look strangely modern too.

Is that George Murray wearing 4 and are we playing Kilmarnock?

Since some medical experts expect the disease to begin to peak here by late April, I think that's the season over and unrecoverable. Liverpool fans will not be happy. Look after you and yours, playmates.

Yes, and Stevie's shies were taken a lot quicker in them there days...…..

I'm thinking of youngsters like wot you are, Shaka, me old haricot. We need you lot for the future. I can remember the Great Enigma that was Walter Carlyle...……..

I may be a CV-vulnerable wrinkly who's had pneumonia twice and been hospitalised as a result but at least this crisis has spared us the cringeworthy "Curtis Main will come back to haunt us" froth we normally have to endure in such a fixture. Since Friday night will probs be our last match for a while, I will proudly take my position on top of the POD and rain sarcasm on Cosgrove and the other Mutton Molesters from a safe distance. Tobar na Mathair gu brath, ya bass!

Is third right Stevie Hammell?

Imagine if Yodo were a Hearts fan. Frog in a blender wouldn't cover it. Having said that, I doubt the court case is at the root of our slump. We have a small squad, most of our recent gambles in the transfer market haven't come off (yet) and the likes of Campbell need a rest but little rotation is possible because of point one above ( yet I still thing Watt has something to offer and perhaps he and Long can now be an orgasmatronic duo). Yet we're third and city teams like the Mutton Molesters and The Begbies are below us, despite carpet-munching results like last Tuesday. Unfortunately our next game is against the street-wise Staggies, adept at doing what SM just did to us, so Wednesday will be a huge game for our soffisticates. COYW!

Throw-in switch unknown to me too; kicking ball away/blocking quick free-kick happens regularly w/o sanction; g/k timewasting if consistently applied would mean teams like Ross County/Accies/ICT/Livvy would end up with g/k suspensions; stealing yards at throw ins/foul throws or "shies" as I call them, much to the amusement of my younger neighbours in the POD, always get me going too. Rant understood. Having seen the highlights, I thought the tackle on Aarons was dangerous and could easily have been a sending off. But it wasn't. No doubt Darren Broadfoot can explain all, eventually.

It was all so much easier in his first season when he drew his magnificent locks back into a scrunchy and Dunne The Bun was born.

Unforgettable, so thanks. Fat Pat and Big Roddy dragged all over the place after Joe Wark's ball over the top until WP slotted it home into the bottom corner. Happy days!
