It's a sad week for Scottish football after the announcement this week that his Captain on that momentous day, Billy McNeill, has dementia, the inference being made that his prowess as a great header of the ball may have caused his downfall. I imagine that there will be armbands at Parkhead on Saturday when the Buddies arrive for their Cup visit.

                  Great round up ER. Many thanks. Hard keeping up with the goals at Saints games right now.

                  As far as I can see, the only reason the results ae described as classified , is because they are read out by division, as opposed to something like the local news, where for instance Saints are lumped in with portsmouth, unbelievably.


                  The Championship Playoffs are looking likely to be fun, if Huddersfield, Dirty leeds and the Owls make it.

                  Shame the Buddies couldn't build on their great win over Hibs.

                  What on eath was going on at Didcot?
                  I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                    I thought the term classified went back to the days of the football pools and the results were authenticated as official for the purposes of claiming winnings. Sellers of the early evening football pink papers used to yell "classified".

                        Rob, you describe Liverpool v arsenal as a forum derby. Who is the forum gooner?

                        Maybe we could have a refresher list of which forumista supports which team.
