Bada Bing, thought the penalty looked soft at first, until I noticed in the (3rd) replay that the defender had stood on his ankle. HH
FD- i thought it was for a pull on the arm…

Itsthemalvinas,
I think “Bennys” is from the Crossroads series, and the character in that show. Probably meant to be a derogatory term for ‘a group of peepil’…
HH
… right, that gets me thinking. Entries please for the best collective noun for “Peepil”
A bigot of Peepil?
An affront of Peepil?
We could start a list :-)
A dignified suffering of Peepil
A queens highway of Peepil
A “who are these ” peepil
An arrestment of peepil
Hi BT
Wee BGFC was back at school yesterday – starting to catch up on some of his NAT 5 Projects that he has to submit to the SQA. School is very supportive (St Ambrose, Coatbridge).
So – afraid I am also back at work in Sunny Monklands. Sorry I missed the chance to meet / visit Lionsroar67, but glad he escaped for the weekend.
Didn’t actually realise Wee BGFC was posting earlier (I was stuck in the kitchen making him a home-made steak pie as a wee surprise – they Blantyre wimmen cannae cook !!!!).
Just reading back and had a chuckle at his “…As a Hungarian tries to assassinate Armstrong…” comment – magic :-))
DD – thinking of you mate – glad you enjoyed Wee BGFC’s wee bit of Bob earlier – he’s practising that on the guitar, and we’ll be fit to do you a wee rendition later in the year !

Oh…oh… a Purgatory of Peepil.
Nice alliteration on the “Pee” sound.
Purgatory is good – although little hope of eventual redemption :-)
What about – A Big Pishy Pee of Peepil ?
A plague o’ peepil…………..

!!BADA BING!! – sorry about your pal mate. I work in clinical research in the NHS every day, so certainly appreciate the importance of all of the screening programmes.
Sorry for the black humour – it comes with the job sometimes – no offence (anyway – not too big a day [52] – first one was 2 years ago – completed the sample collection, sent away and, thankfully, all-clear – this will now be my bi-annual pleasure).
NORRIEM – re: Laura – I emailed her directly, so will hear back I’m sure.

David66 and DD, often on here us oul hauns will talk about a game that Jock said a the time was our finest victory over them. He fielded the Lions that night with local lad Wullie O’Neil on the bench. The huns had went on a spending spree that summer, sorenson, penman, persson, the 2 smiths and sir furious.
It was an LC group game and the winner would progress to the quarters, it was also the finale of “The Fugitive” a top rated American show which would be shown on the same night, no social media at the time and no too many household phones either plus it was still expensive tae make long distance calls other than family concerns.
That night we had tae change trains at Hyndland, we were on the Balloch tae Brigton one, for the Helensburgh tae Airdrie which stopped at Belgrove. Lots of banter that night with each side suggesting the other would see “who killed Kimble’s wife” as they would be home early.
Anyway a huge crowd was on hand with orders from the City Chambers not to display any flags or banners. I had bought a tricolour in Cleary’s in Dublin that summer but it was left at hame.
The hun end was awash with flags including French flags including one with a goatshaggin symbol on it and wee dikepluggers banners which would not have been out of place on the streets of the black north and unfortunately Scotland in July, nothing happened, and then a tricolour went up in the Celtic end and the polis couldnae wait tae get up there tae huckle the “offenders”. At that a chant arose starting in the Jungle “you can stick yer orange banners up yer erse”.
Strangely the huns chose tae kick off toward their own supporters in the 1st half, probably trying tae deny us the advantage in the second of us playing intae the Celtic end. In the 8th minute henderson opened the scoring with a blatantly offside shot, in fact the linesman never ran tae the centre circle but stood where he was which is clearly evidence of no goal.
Then just before half time the buzz bomb picked up a goalie rebound tae equalise, naw said the big fat Parkheid mitby, affside, the Jungle was apoplectic, “how can you be affside fae a rebound”. We also had our own penalty claim turned down, it looked like it was gonnae be one of they nights
By half time though deidco were hanging on and in the 2nd half it continued, their greatest ever thug and the future manure manager were booked, quelle surprise, as the boot flew in and then calamity with 15 minutes left the wee Jinky wannabee went tumbling in the box. Some of our support started tae leave but the Jungle closed ranks.
Up stepped their hero from 18 months earlier,”kai yai yippee the popes an effing hippy” and walloped the ball off the underside of the bar beating Ronnie all ends up, out it came and the huns players were lining up for the rebound, the big daft dane pushed andy penman out of the way, penman had a rocket shot and if he had connected he would have tore the net out with ball travelling as far as brigton cross. But naw he jumps up tae heider it, tae the shouts of “you cannae dae that” fae the Jungle.
It didnae even reach the goal as Bobby Murdoch plucked it out of the air. After the game johansen protested that it was over the line after it came down from the bar and he was only jumping for joy when it hit him on the heid, what a spoofer.
2 minutes later in front of their hordes Wispy heiders the equaliser fae a corner, 5 minutes after that Bobby Murdoch fires a free kick at the wall, it rebounds back tae him and he curls the winner around the hun defense. No done yet it the last minute the Buzz Bomb, intercepts a ham and eggs pass, just like the Fife Beckenbauer would do 2 year later, and fires home the insurance marker. While running back jubilantly tae our end a ned runs out of their end grabs a flagpole and makes a beeline toward the wee mhan, big provan no friend of our support hip checked him ontae the durt track where he was escorted away, cudos tae the big man who would have his leg broken in a clash with wee ten thirty 16 days later, an injury which ended his hun career.
So David66 and DD, why am I telling you this, well I was working on the Kirkton Avenue flats at that time and the place was bouncing the next day. I actually flew my tricolour fae the top of one of them much tae the disdain of the site office. I had happy memories of that job as well as this game and your two mentioning the place brings them back.
I reckon the improvement in Scotland’s form was down to the midfield of Armstrong, Mc.Gregor and Mc.Ginn, plus the movement of Forrest.
This was totally ignored by the commentary team.
A biased view? Don’t think so.
Stuart and Calum are not necessarily better than Mc.Ginn. They are different kinds of players.
Both types are needed in a midfield.
Scott Brown is in his twilight years.

*No I believe that Willie Cunningham did, when he left the Buddies he recommended sir furious for the managerial position.
