It's my Birthday today. Bad enough being 52 but watching this takes the biscuit. Might as well finish my night off watching Question time.

It's my grandsons 7 birthday today and I'm just looking at a large slice of his birthday cake and mug of coffee so tonight's not been a complete write off !!

Didn't renew my membership this time after nearly 30 years as a member. and have felt a bit guilty since but somehow tonight I've found a bit of inner peace 

[Squad For Next Campaign]

Danny Wilson won't be excelling. Rangers fans for the most part unimpressed; looked a good player when he he had David Weir to nanny him.

Saw Danny Wilson as 17/18 year old playing (and scoring) against Hearts at Tynecastle and thought that I'd witnessed Scotland's centre half for years to come. Unfortunately having seen him last year and hearing the opinions of the people who are watching him now I don't think there is any doubt that he's not progressed in the way that most people thought he would, he's still young though and may come on but I think he's got a long way to go, would love to see it though as Scotland badly need a dominant centre back who can lead a new back line who have genuine pace and ability.

Watching it on the TV in the USA and they're reporting Robertson and Naismith starting instead of Hanley and Forrest??

[Rod The Mod - Wembley 1977]

He had a room at The Esso Motor Hotel where we were also staying. This was in the days of the old works Wembley clubs where you saved up for the two years between games, happy days !!

Anyway, before the game the hotel had set up a bar in one of the function rooms which as you can imagine was getting well used when Rod came in with Britt Eckland and proceeded to join in with the fans. He later went back to his room inviting a few of the lads with him for more refreshments, IIRC Ms Eckland wasn't too enamoured with that decision and had a face like thunder, mind you I suppose taking a shower of half gased strangers back to her room maybe wasn't the smartest thing Rod's ever done so she probably had a point !
