  1. Andy was a friend since we we very young and we ended up living across the back green from each other, he in Ruthven Ave., and me in Hunter's. Was Andy not in band? Was it the Errol Blue Stars? Or is the little Blue pill messing with my head again? Andy had a sister, June, who for me was the best looking girl in Perth. Hi, June!!! Cavelini's caff and chip shop. Broon's wee shop Going to the jiggin' at the City Hall and Meat Market. Pint in the Feusie. Half-Day fitba' on the South Inch. I played for every team as Super Sub. Saint's beat Rangers 1-0 at Muirton on a weeknight. Jeanfield Swifts training nights. Alice Rylance. Hi, Alice!!!!! Smudge
  2. 'Thoughtful post, Zig. I, too, would like to see the result of such an analysis. Smudge
  3. I'm not as sure about the apathy of the people of Perth as I am, perhaps, about the apathy of the owners, shakers or movers of the club. If whoever owns the club is not hurting in the wallet there is no incentive to market, promote or tempt new and old fans. The Child mentioned that it would be fifty pounds for an hour and a half for himself and his daughter. That is out of line. That works out to somewhere around 33 pounds an hour, or about $55 an hour. I don't know how pay scales are in Perth but very few people around here make that sort of money. If the club can break even or make a little on these kind of prices why would they change things? It they lose money it will almost certainly be written off, either to another business or one of the billion tax dodges that are available to those who have money. (I'm starting to sound like I should break out into the "Red Flag", or some such). I very much doubt if any one at the board level derives his or her sole income from the club. Therefore, they don't particularly care. Bleeding blue and white is not an issue for these people. Just red or black ink. Smudge
  4. Wendy is an American lady who, for a while at least, was a big Saints fan. If memory serves, she made a trip to Perth some years ago to see the Boys and to check out the city. Wendy has rather dropped off the radar. Her disappearance may well connect to Bev's question? Nah!, I'm still here. Smudge
  5. What about good women? Where, O where is Wendy? Smudge

  7. The first and only time I saw him live was in a game at Hampden against Chzeckoslvakia.(Sp?) The 'ould fella got a daft notion to see the gemme and we mooched a ride somehow. I don't remember much about the game apart from the Hampden Roar, but I do remember Denis scoring the winning 3-2 goal. I recall how he held up his left hand, without all of the histrionic crap that happens today. The Bigyin, for the first(and last) time in my memory had tears. Must have been that fecking Weegie smog, as he put it. Good memories, Ronaldo. Good memories, Smudge. Smudge
  8. Denis Law is still my all time football hero. Back in the day he could have come to Saints, but a scout apparently rated him as 'too small'. Some scout; some small! (With thanks to Winston Churchill) Smudge

  10. John Sounds like you had a great holiday. It must be nice to get to see the Saints and to visit old stomping grounds. My detestation of flying seems to overcome my desire to visit Scotland, but if the lottery comes up I will get a first-class cabin on the first liner heading for Britain. Again, glad you had a good time. The Prince

  14. He is down my way. He moved in up the road from me, next door to Roy Orbison and two farms past Elvis' house. Smudge
  15. I watched the rugby match between the All Blacks and Aussies and this ocurred to me: If the Scots had eaten the haggis, wore the kilt and did the Hakka, we would have beaten the piss out of the English. When the New Zealanders do that thing, it makes my hair stand on end and I want to fight. I wish The Bruce and Wullie Wallace had the Hakka. Then we WOULD be a nation again. Smudge

  19. And, it occurs to me, I have as many points as the Boys have goals. Smudge
  20. Two games. No points. I will not stand for this humiliation, therefore I resign from the prediction league. 'Til the next game. Smudge
