Forever a legend for his Goal against Hearts at Easter Road.

We were obviously coasting and I had time on my hands.

And only one scarf at the top left and one tammy at the bottom left. Also, no females in the small group. Definitely a man’s world back then.

A sketch of some fans that I did at Fir Park in 1970 when I was just 7 years old. It brings back good memories of going to watch Motherwell with my dad. Cartridge must have been scarce as I’ve drawn it on graph paper, probably ripped from my school jotter! Anyone recognise anyone from my 7 year old drawing?

Craggs has allegedly hooked him up with the mascot this weekend so it’s all good.

So we’ve had claims that a former club captain will not be back at Fir Park, ever, but nothing to back the claims up. It really is the silly season unless someone produces some facts.

David Turnbull has benefitted from these exhaustive tests as it has found something that could have had serious repercussions later on in his career. In the longterm I’m sure he will be very grateful and I’m sure Celtic will wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.

It’s probably all down to money. If a player appears to be fit and healthy with no sign of any problems there would be no reason to do any checks. However, if a player is subject to a 3M+ transfer it’s only right and proper that extensive medical checks are done before any money exchanges hands.

Turnbull, the truth about the failed transfer.

CCTV comes to grounds in the ‘Glasgow area’. Match magazine, October 1985.

The sell on clause could prove very lucrative for Hibs and an important part of any deal. It’s rumoured that Man U are preparing a 50M bid for McGinn.

Allegedly it was a threesome involving Claret and Amber and one of the reasons they were replaced.

And the reason is? (remember to include the word *allegedly in any response).

Any reason why that might be?

He did. Flow explained it was due to the availability of scanning equipment at Rosshall and the process was delayed because they had to go to Manchester instead. Medicals can take time as the buying club need to ensure that what they are paying 3M+ for isn’t going to ‘breakdown’ long term due to a hidden medical issue.

He doesn't appear to be in any of the SNS press shots so far.

The head looks as if it has been stuck on to another body.

The window for winning anything now is virtually one season, before the side is forced to dismantled and rebuild for the next one. In the 70s/80s/90s you at least got two or three seasons with virtually the same squad of players. Unless of course you were Dundee United where you would get 15 seasons for the team to gel.

Again I never knew that. A bizarre affair all around.

I’d forgotten about that. Makes the whole episode even odder.

That’s the boy, I couldn’t remember his name.

Fair point. He’s still a legend on here for all the wrong reasons and helped create one of the longest threads we’ve ever had on a player. I also remember his ‘agent’ making a few posts as well. Great times, great banter.
