Better than watching Scotland big yin Launch of an initiative which will hopefully be a good addition to opportunites for youngsters in this area, can't be a bad thing. Take the white tinted glasses off and see it for what it is.

That would be telling now wouldn't it? Safe to say it isnae me bt I think the mystique surrounding the author adds to the allure. Loadapish it's Geoff Baby as most will know.

Time for a song here Seb, Seb, Seb, Seb!

So it's fact now that a senior player is 'urging' young players not to sign new deals. I'd imagine it's a simple case, which probably happens all over the shop, of advising youngsters not to take the first offer which has, as normal, grown legs and turned into a conspiracy.

Am in, but 'pooter problems recently so might take a while tae sort oot. First chance ah get tae check ma paypal balance it'll be done. Edit - tenner sent

Mowgli and Brian McLaughlin both deserve to be remembered publicly, they touched enough lives among us for a tribute to be held.

The Queens Park reference is Pompey John's mate, not mine. In my haste I forget to add his name at the bottom of the page sometimes.

What puns would that be? I just thought you were Ice Rink under a pseudonym.

Maybe I should just sell them all books

Aye but in the absence of said cutlery wid ye eat wi' yer hauns and if so, wid ye wash them afterwards.

To some that could be the height of luxury, enclosed walls, a door, maybe a ceiling? Not bad at all

No place like home fur me. 'Up by' is just a special place for many reasons, fed up going to the same old away venues in the SPL, would love a bit of variety but it would take a relegation to do so, obviously I'm not going to wish that on us but never get tired of that feeling when Fir Park comes into view.

Just now?

You missed it??? try coming oot yir cocoon for 5 minutes on matchdays, you're gonnae suffocate stuck in that place for so long, s'no' healthy fur ye Al be up by in t'morning mate, will drop a copy in.

Fuxake, don't know what upsets me more, you no' reading ma books or ma auld Da's version not being as widely known as I originally thought.

I'd hazard a guess but reckon it's a banned word on here.

Check them that huvnae read any of ma books Along Flow's lines really, not much of a story but legend has it we were playing poorly one day and some wag on the terracing shouts just what Flow said implying they were half asleep. Allegedly the name stuck after that. I didn't hea Swinburne's version until just a few years ago so cos I didn't hear it in my youth I dismiss it, preferring to believe the story I grew up with. Simples

No that was John Swinburne's version, my Dad's version was somewhat different and not related to the steelworks.

A lethal combination

No' oor real nickname though is it? Steelworks werenae even there when our club were formed. 'mon the Dossers

Whoosh moment there stevie? Sorry for stating the bleedin obvious but.........Yi didnae get that one at all even with the use of the smillie did ye?

PM coming if my dodgy connection allows. Been terrible today

Until we get 15 inches of rain in half an hour of course Would you bet against it happening? Not really, just explaining the same way as he did at the time what the problem was way I read it.

Not getting involved, just liked that saying. Made me chuckle that did.

I'll leave mine unedited for posterity
