Bonnyrigg v Buckie Thistle

Another old memory. I once went to a Scottish Junior Cup (probably semi final ) at Easter Road between Bonnyrig  and Linlithgow. The attraction was Colin Grant who Hibs were going to sign from Bonnyrigg as he had been getting great write ups. He was good and a classy player. However the rather ungainly Colin Stein was the star of the match and also signed for Hibs.
I was the only Hibs supporter in the family and I used to say that I was born a Hibee as I came into the world at 5pm on a September Saturday the day that traditionally had the local Derby. My father maintained that he could not remember if they had played that day. Come the computer age and I was able to learn that Hibs had beaten Hearts 2 - 0 that day.

Don't forget Smart Lass in the last at Catterick to follow up on her Tuesday win at Musselburgh. She is now owned by Ian Jardine again. Seems that Gerry McGladdery only had her for the day.

Some sad memories about Colin Stein. Some still think he was 'responsible' for the Ibrox disaster when nothing could be further from the truth. He did score a last gap equaliser for Rangers on that fateful day but it had nothing whatsoever to do with what happened next.

Personally oldgit I wouldn't get involved with that beast. If I had to chose it would be  Only Orsenfoolsies for me. An EW steal imho.

well done on your win stewart...

surely Hibernian are way too short to beat Hamilton today...????

Agree with you there Hibby. Thing is I have about eight fancies today, a mixture of horses and football. I personally think the match you mention is good value at 5/2 the draw.

no surprise here if that is the outcome stewart...

" Personally oldgit I wouldn't get involved with that beast. If I had to chose it would be  Only Orsenfoolsies for me. An EW steal imho "
They heard you it has been taken out.

Great shout

Stewarty B,I can tell you a very good story re-Bonnyrigg.Sean Connery when at school was a good player,he could have played pro had he stuck at it.He and somebody I was related to worked the same milk round went their own way,the relative went on to play pro and one of the most respected Left backs in the history of pro football.

You won't find that in the Bonnyrigg history i.e Left back,one of his daughters Godfathers is Sir ........?

FACT

sean connery id imagine

stewys godfather is sir elton john

Imagine all you like Chav but it was not Sean.

In Leith BTW.

was it the ginger bloke out the proclaimers

out of

She died aged 52 as Chemo well knows so ask him? Or grab a mirror and look?

you become less lucid by the minute...are you on hallucogenics dude

whilst your skirmishes with reality may be only brief ,i would hope they are enjoyable for you

Mirrors CHAV and smoke...........you are as lucid as your other user names but more see through.HTH you cowardly muppets.............Dept Ford boot boys?

Boot lickers.NAP

without wishing to deflate the balloon of your imagination,i have no other user names.HTH

are you in a cyclical madness prison of your own choice or just plain insane

We believe you Craig..............no one else does.......not even the probation service.HTH

Nor the DWP with your "Bad back"..........does that help?

you talk pony 24/7

Ok not a problem if your thoughts are pure,why were you missing the last two weeks,now being brave?

Benefits suspended perhaps if you dared turn up?

im an FLS on top dough why would i miss a day donut

you sure you not a psychic with your mad guesses hoping one is right,a prince monolulu of sociology

Missed plenty recently Chav,could be the drink or multiple personalities?

Either way you are reduced to trolling and skinto benefits which you lied to obtain.......tell me I am wrong?

i neither troll or obtain benefits

your aggressive nature to any ill perceived sleight will always draw criticism and until you address that you will always be troubled

*nor

Aggresive being equal to ie = to replying to you and others with truth?

they don't like it up em , or do they

Buona notte hello and all decent friends,off to bed again.

No bad feelings I hope even for the trolls,the sooner you acknowledge your shortcomings or lies the sooner you can address them and improve your lives and ditto those closest to you.

HTH whether a Troll,an owner or a trainer of the most wonderful animals we bet on........just bear in mind the raw product which without you would all be phukced..........and without punters DITTO!!!

Sleep well all.

What a tool

It was a useful tool,saved hundreds of punters hundreds of thousands did it not?

If not millions?

you remind me of some **** today

Greatest film of all time Gregory's Girl, Buckie Thistle made me think of that.

simple mathematics , who knew

There's actually been quite an interesting development regarding toby and this forum, cuz it's become quite noticeable that despite toby's best efforts, a certain forumite appears to have decided to just totally blank him.

I'm not going to name the forumite, but I'm sure people will know to whom I'm referring (clue: ol' tobyjug  invites him to lunch but the said forumite doesn't even reply, continuing to post on the thread as if the invite never happened).

And I can see GT has been 'wounded' by this, cuz the forumite's name has started to appear in his vitriolic posts.

Ignore me, I'm just coming up with great Scottish films, Whisky Galore, classic.

greyfriars bobby , classic

Kidnapped, Michael Caine talking Scottish

Number one goes to: The Wicker Man, Ed Woodward talking Scottish

i would like to meet him for lunch at any location in london

Shocking omission, Trainspotting. Can't rember the one we're they find the money and start killing each other, but a classic as well.

George, 2 classics.

Never seen Grey friars hello, is it an oldie?

You may wish to take a chaperone with you, ask stewy if he's free for the day

Chav was that you on top of the tube chasing the Environmentalists.?

Porridge the movie

Tony Osoba and Fulton Mackay

stewy only attends with morning suit and suitably attired waiting staff

Christ chav wtf is that all about man

Fulton mckay brill, the reason that most English people hate the scots

Shocking omission, Crankies the movie

pm george

GL 2day lads, kip before rugby, good laugh.

Chav was that you on top of the tube chasing the Environmentalists.?

nah canning town not my area,funny though

GL Deplasterer

My fav Fulton Mackay scene is when he says to Norman Fletcher, how did they get rid of the soil (after digging a tunnel to escape)

And Fletch replied, they dug another hole and put it in there

replied chav

sounds like the idiots im working with

jeez george theyve spent 5 months putting the tbm together and now realised theyve got to dismantle it to get it from woolwich to greenwich

That hs2 is going to be another botch job
By the sounds of it. !

PM chav

Brigadoon surely on a par with squirrel winning tips,appears once every hundred years?

indeed glen , tic tac been silenced for many a year

still operating tho site looks like it was made by blindcraft

Anyways, back to the football. Ayr United seem a tad overpriced on Friday night at home to Dundee. Should be tight but my Man on the Spot says home advantage should make Ayr value at 5/4. Live on freeview 9. gl/all.

KO is 7.05 . That said my Man on the Spot has s sleekid bet up hi sleeve which I will disclose nearer the event...

any backs / lays or trades for this weekends football stewart...???

Hi Hibby, always good to see a good un post. I made the mistake last weekend of having eight fancies, (football and horses). tbh I'm more a horseracing punter although my Ayr Utd bet is not going well with sixty minutes to go tonight.


That aside I do fancy a few this weekend albeit less selections. If I fancy one or a double I will put it up on this thread. GL for the weekend yourself.

PS Hibby, I don't trade unless a largish bet involves a photo finish and my days of laying are few and far between.

no probs stewart...

personally i cannot have manchester united at odds on away to norwich city...

just don't see where the goals are coming from.

Man Utd are garbage this season Hibby. I wont be involved but if I was I would lay them. No luck on tonight's football but still my Man on the Spot has a 50% record.


That aside Hibby do you fancy any horse tomorrow? If you do, don't name it on this thread but you could perhaps give me the race details. If so I will get my studying head on and if I fancy a beast in the same race I would PM you .....to see if we are on the same page if you catch my drift.

villa 8/11 2 yellows , seems like very good value given city will have most off ball

Stew did you see the thread I put up for you regarding Duncan Forbes? He was almost a lifelong family friend and was best mates with the player I mentioned earlier who played for Bonnyrig alonside Sean and neither of whom get an acknowledgement in the Hall of fame for games played although Sean is mentioned.

Another player you may be interested in hearing about still lives in your neck of the woods I believe,Big Doug Rougvie? I played alongside Dougie before I joined the army and remember one game where he caught a player accidentaly and the young lads eye came out of its socked and lay on his upper cheek.

Dougie walked away and did not even flinch although I dont think he even realised what had happened,I also played a few games alongside Paul Sturrock who was the opposite of Dougie.So you see not my whole life was spent in uniform,I was actually quite normal beforehand if going against what everyone expected of me,my little dig the other evening was well intended btw and I hope you did not take offence?

I do not have the level of interest I used to have in football,even the Internationals are just a passing interest but I do have a punt now and again so always have a look at threads like this which can be a big help if considering a bet.All I can offer in return is a lowdown on my team Cagliari and their opposition if you ever consider a punt away from home.

GL as always.

dougie the don , blast from past there

kind of remember him , bear of a man and quite fierce

wasn't he part of fergies side or was that before

Yes Rougvie played in Gotherberg...he used to cycle past me on his way to training while still eating a bacon roll.

Me take offence Toby. Been on here too long for that even though I don't know what situation you mention.


That aside, as far as the forum stands I never give any lip unless I receive it for no good reason.


That said it's not the best when I see two forumitesI like having a go at

each other and I  have to bite my lip.

Thanks for your input re: Bonnyrig and Doug Rougvie. A man with a European medal and although no Dennis Irwin, Fergie used him to Aberdeen's advantage. (especially against Celtic at Parkhead in front of the jungle...)


Anyways it's nytol from me as I'm up early ish  to go through the cards to try and stop this rancid run I'm on at the moment.

GL for the weekend.

that was some side , plus greatest manager in football history imo off course

**sophiakenny sticking his beak in where it doesn't belong as per. (WAC)

No worries stew,I just mentioned siding with Kemo so no damage done to either of us hopefully.Hello you might relate to this then (not the circumstances btw,just the subject)

Getting on for 30 years ago I did a job most would shun if they had any common sense.I went undercover and had to go through the whole process of Court,guilty,sentenced and then HMP.That was almost blown apart by a PO who recognised me from the forces "Hello what are you doing here".............FOYDC went through my mind but too late somebody overheard.

What saved the op was a guy who commented on my accent,he was tatooed all over with Rangers logos and Chelsea insignia,when I told him about my association with Dougie everything got back on track and ended well.

a headhunter from back in the day , prob helped you were a bear

Guy that nearly exposed me got in touch a few months ago,getting out (should be by now) suffering depression and in a bad way.That is an example of why I count my self lucky,the day a job does that to a thoroughly nice person can no longer be considered a good job...........and the Home Office like to make out they care.

But I get your point,although I think it was more Dougie than my affiliation with the Bears,I had never realised what a hero he was at Chelsea until then.

Christ , got you now

forgot he was down there aswell just checked , yeah probably was more that than anything

I think only God knows anything about these 2 teams or even what competition they're playing in

My point is that if something is out in the media then it's almost never going to be value. It's almost an absurd a concept as people thinking they can read a book and become profitable. It is impossible to get ahead of the curve using something that is common knowledge.

Should have read the thread Richie.............your point might be valid if only you knew what the phuck you are talking about?

I'm a millennial, I can't read. Just summarise it for me.

I think the points are valid regardless.

Stewy getting up early to cheer England on imo.

No idea Richie,I was just being pedantic............the teams above were days ago and stew makes a point about only punting when the odds are in his favour which negates your point regardless?

GL anyway whatever your point.

He doesn't know when the odds are in his favour. His MO is going to the shops and backing favs at SP.

My point was, that if some expert publishes a tip, then everyone knows about it and it obviously can't be value. The same as gambling related books, blogs, whatever. It might help you to improve but it won't help you turn a profit in the long run.

tbh I'm more a horseracing punter although my Ayr Utd bet is not going well with sixty minutes to go tonight.


ayr 1 dundee 2

unlucky stewy

Yes Rougvie played in Gotherberg...he used to cycle past me on his way to training while still eating a bacon roll.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that's the problem with football these days...

not enough Doug Rougvie types...

becoming more like basketball as the days go by imv...

no bets on the horses here stewart...

it's a bl00dy minefield if you ask me.
