Connelly was up here with a tv crew had a good crack with him gave him a hard time about the big hoose in Aberdeenshire told him he was a fur#$%^king chuchter now my brother saw the show and my neighbour was showing Billy around. My neighbour who is a Western Arctic inuit had a Scotland cap on I had given him, brother thought it was priceless

New the Drum Major Norman Mackenzie brought up in the same close as him in Scott St. He moved to Canada and was Drum Major of the 48th Highlanders in Toronto was always on national tv on Torontos Xmas parade

Never seen your version but we get the US version in Canada does my head in when the wife watches it they have that tosser Donald Trump on it. Celebrity one just finished they had Joan Rivers and her lassie, Clint Black the C/w singer and Denis Rodman the basketball player to name a few, I think Rodman was bevied most of the time the last time they had that Piers ar%$#@ from BGT NUFF SAID

First game was when saints played Preston North End after Willie McIntosh had been transferred to them my faither took me. Seeing saints give some big teams i:e Hibs with the Famous Five and Hearts with Conn Bauld and Wardhaugh. Also playing BB football on the south inch and hearing the record crowd that far away. As mentioned before the toilets had a special aroma.

Larky no problem they are calling for -15C IN THE COSTA DEL ARCTIC today cheers

congratulations to Del and all the boys, also would like to thank all fellow WAPS Soulfull, Noose.Larky etc who have enabled us saintees in far off climes to enjoy the season through your eyes. Everyday banter was terrific from an old grizzled saintee a big thanxs

Saw her on one of the Canadian tv news shows this morning,then watched it on youtube sure made everybody sit up and listen

Just curious anybody watch it, last season was filmed where I live

It's now Christies in Kinnoull Street. The old Ace of Clubs actually had a "men only" lounge known as the Club Bar and upstairs had one of the first modern lounge bars in Perth.

Incidentally, does anyone remember the Log Room inside York House and also The Strand within the same premises?

I remember the log room used to go there after boys brigade o friday nights for a pint

Nearly mate, Pro Rege, Lege et Grege

For King Law and Country:

St Johnstoun first place had a pint wi my faither

Another two that disappeared from the High St The Hammerman used to be around Watsons china shop and the Fair City next door to Woolies. I remember doing a count before I left in 1966 there used to be 49 pubs and 49 churches scary

Mention of the Welcome and the Gowrie bring back memories I worked on the shops and flats when I was an apprentice joiner and they built the Welcome at the same time approx. 50 years ago. Used to go to the Gowrie on Saturday nights wi my mates for some liquid dancing lessons before going to the City Hall

support your local team that is they way it should be probably the pseudo TOF fans couldnt find IBROX and PARKHEAD IN THE DARK

born PRI stayed in Scott St left Perth 1966 came to Canada lived in Ontario Alberta and now live on the shores of the Arctic Ocean in the Northwest Territories still come back every few years still a saintee. We even had Billy Connelly here a few months ago with an ITV crew had a good crack with him

ah feck I did a saints checked weather last night for today they said -50 didnae believe them but it is. Got central heating but it melts my igloo.

Paddy Buckley got to be on the list

Joe Carr great crosser of a ball

Jim Little centre half magic probably capped if with bigger club, John Flanagan great winger slim built lad, Bobby Kemp go like abullet when he got going Matt Mcvittie was another good one

mapleleaf it was -49 celsius where I am today

what about

Billy Taylor

Jim Little

John Flanagan

Joe Carr a crowd favorite from that era

Shands aka. Southern District 1947/1952 Perth Academy1952/1954 Donald Mckay played in goal for Dundee Untd. for a few years went into management later he was brought up above the Royal was in my class as was Hamy Watt Couper Angus and Forfar also did a great Chick Murray impersination his faither was manager in the royal for years. Had mates who played junior Willie Buchan, Ian Howie and Malcolm Bell played for Kinnoull, Newburgh Juniors and Perth Celtic respectively

Kwist when I am old when I see some of the school dates OKAY I AM OLD,

BEST FOR 2009:roll:

All you dedicated saintees deserve a pat on the back for all the time and effort you spent thinking of ways to get bums in the seats and behind the team. It would be in G.B. and his boys interest to meet an organized committee comprised off some of you. Sometimes it may be just like running buses from surrounding areas like Crieff Blairgowrie etc. person going to game can bring another on bus for half price or free, drop off at McD and downtown, just a thought

Memory problems probably down to high intake of Carlsberg Special around that time period

What date was that and anybody know what the players were that night, I think Bobby Moore and Kevin Bond were two of W.H players and Charlie McF. and all the boys

Most Nova Scotians are like Scotmen they like a bevy so definitely friendly

I remember being in the enclosure the night they played West Ham in the first floodlight game, the Cuban missile crisis was going on and one of my mates was sure we would be battering round the square at Queens Barracks the next day. Anybody else there that night.

registered yesterday live in Arctic Canada so good for info and insight
