You’ll be fine if the new suggestions are enforced !!

Apparently the authorities are considering banning all singing at football games for the foreseeable future ( Covid ) and fans will be encouraged to STAMP their feet instead !!!

Charlton being in the Prem.

Also when you could actually watch FA Cup and Champions League games on BBC/ ITV and not have to pay stupid money on Sky or BT Sports.

That said back in the day in the 60’s and 70’s and well before Sky ... we only saw ONE live game a year !!

The FA Cup Final was shown live on both ITV and BBC

Following the guy with the radio when you left a game so that you could get the full time scores

Sadly BBC and ITV got a lot of stick from non-Football fans when they'd show matches on their channels because these people that complained seem to think that everything that's put on TV has to be catered specifically to their tastes.

I was speaking to Andy Goram about them one night hanging off the end of a bar.

He told me they were responsible for his wicket keeping talents.

I got a wee buzz back in my youth days walking into the chippy to see if we had made that paper when we got back down to kelso.

14 yr old old I was.

45 miles away from edinburgh, paffling milk money from the friday night collection money..using it on my mates, and as much skol as we could cram down our necks before spewing or crying on each other.

Then the game began, the pound coin came out, and the paffle went up ten fold, and my age went up 1 year, and I met him..Colin, my childhood neighbour when we were 1 to 5.

A hearts supporter and fellow jam fan.

So it was milk money friday, up early on the Saturday for the 9.05 bus up to edinburgh arriving at waverley 11.05.

2 young lads with the hearts scarves proudly draped, landing on the summit of the hibee..top o the walk.

So where do we go, considering we look old enough to get served in a pub and have done back home..

We do a 2 mile trudge from the station to the ground....or so we thought.....

Tyncastle was lucky, we had the wafft of the brewery next door to mask that stench.

But when celtic were in town, we could have had a brewery at all 4 corners and the place would still have reeked of pish.

You all looked the same to me when you took over the streets of gorgie.

That is a big memory for me, the sheer noise of one of the glasgow support at hampden in the 80s when we are all as one singing, then you hear the rumble..and the crescendo of voices just booming over you..its amazing really..

Cant stand either team tbh...because of thier supporters...and for celtics buggery stuff..I dont like that.:nono:

The hearts though, omg..the JTs..hot shot hamish's fictional team was based on them btw.

And ronnie Corbett was a big fan.
