  1. Thank you Santa, the extremely large dram and carrot for Rudolph will be in the usual place!
  2. By now probably flying round Ailsa Craig! Killie fans already questioning whether the game should go ahead, hope the SPFL don't dither and dally and finish up with a late call off - not fair to our loyal travelling fans.
  3. Fair enough, would not disagree with one word. However, having thought about it I find the back of my postage stamp is still blank.
  4. When did the good old days end? I attended a Forfar v Saints game in 1959/60, we were 3 - 0 down when with 10 minutes to go the ref, Willie Brittle, abandoned the game because of heavy snow. (Said he could not see the lines but people had reported sightings of polar bears!) I also attended the replay, special train and 40+ buses from Perth. Whole game was replayed and we won 1 - 0 thanks to a Joe Carr goal.
  5. I think its a brave move too, by Cathro. Two things strike me. First, no matter how good he is at coaching and analysis he has to work with the players his budget will allow and remember Neilson has already achieved a third place so the scope for improvement is limited unless The The implode again (oh please, please) or Rodgers leaves Septic sooner than expected. Second, there is the Levein factor. I have now heard three pro/anti Cathro appointment discussions and one fact which emerged in all three, and not denied, is the degree of oversight Levein likes to exercise. In particular, during matches he likes to sit in the stand and pass down notes with "suggestions" at frequent intervals. The pro appointment guys saw this as a plus point, the anti side thought this was perhaps one of the reasons for Neilson departing Tynecastle at a speed that would have left Usain Bolt floundering in his wake on receipt of the first reasonable offer of alternative employment. Two or three discussion participants said that the obvious man for the Hearts job was our Tommy. All were agreed that this would not have been acceptable to Tommy or Levein!
