The mists of time make it hard to be objective and the 8-3 was misleading as W.Germany put out their B side in the group match.The Germans as ever were crafty being the first to use detatchable studs so they didn’t have to change boots in adverse weather.There were also allegations of amphetemines being injected which believe it or not wasn’t…[Read more]

The only team that came close to that Brazil team was the Holland side. of 74 under Rinus Michels playing fantastic ‘total football’.Sadly they never won  a World Cup beaten by a Teutonic tactical masterclass in the final.Krol,Haan,Neeskens,Van Hanagem, Cruyff,Rep,Rensenbrink etc.

Not quite as good as Tostao,Gerson,Rivelino,Pele,Jairzinho,Carlos…[Read more]

Keep going @hunnybunny you’re getting there.

Climacophobia?

Started singing, or hearing you singing, George Formby?

Someone mentioned that great French poet Cantona a while back and I came across one of his quotes yesterday when looking something up about Pele.He compares the great man’s pass to Carlos Alberto in the World Cup final 1970 to the early poems of Rimbaud.It really is a thing of beauty ,so casual,almost a ‘no look’ pass to no one in particular…but…[Read more]

You guys are so literal-minded.Also she always says it’s my best feature,doesn’t say much for my face does it?

@BrianN she quit because her hair got wet?

Home from Calpe, enjoyed very much, thankfully missed the pseudo-Eurovision and football comments

There has been a sharing of trophies this year at the top end.Liverpool with the title,Man City Community Shield,Newcastle League Cup,Palace FA Cup,Spurs Europa League and potentially Chelsea Conference League.It’s good to share.

When I lived in the Fraserburgh area quite a few followed Aberdeen but here in Brechin/Montrose it’s more Dundee Utd…[Read more]

They were staggering on the streets of Montrose when I dropped my daughter off at the train station around 7.00 pm.It’s Mofest weekend and though it’s not what it was pre-covid the pubs do a steady trade.

As for the footy there were probably more disaffected,self-entitled Celtic fans.

Thought you’d come back with something like:”The Fall had a sound engineer?”

As for the Bunny roasted and wasted is my guess.

So @ixan57 I know you won’t sleep if I don’t give you that link.One of the Frank Chickens is married to Grant Showbiz who was The Fall’s long time,long suffering sound engineer.Must’ve been on over half of their studio output and many gigs.

Must be the most thankless task in all pop music given Mark’s penchant for fiddling with knobs during…[Read more]

Sheff Utd 1-2 Sunderland.My old man would’ve loved that.Almost felt sorry for Chris Wilder but I don’t like him,so no.

That’s a relief I couldn’t find any recipes for hats though I came across beef wellington.
