I can speculate, but is there any evidence as to why that was?

Might just have moved on though. Am sure we had some crack shots with rifles in the 20th century olympics. Jackie Stewart was deadly vs clay pigeons too.

So nothing at all to do with wulliewavin then?

The Foot-ball Club 1824-1841. http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/worlds-first-foot-ball-club.html There's a link to a podcast at the bottom about the research.

Hudd's got me on pedant stuff now. The original 1863 rules allowed a 'fair catch' from which a free kick was taken (by the catcher!)... the 'mark' in Rugby Union even today. Rule 8 and definitions below... https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Laws_of_the_Game_(1863)

QP seemed to get a lot of byes. Then when they didn't they often did not travel, giving the other side a walkover. Cost or distance may have been to much, and there was soon plenty competition for QP here (particularly from the Dumbarton* area for some reason). Never read anything about it being nationalistic or not, but it didn't take long for internationals to start up did it? * (Dumbarton themselves drew the first Scottish League with upstarts Rangers, which the latter include in their "54" titles ...without an asterisk )

Superb!

I think, by the time the FA started, it was all by foot, but tended to be a 1-0-9 formation with 8 players shielding(?) one dribbler. I have in my mind a rugby maul, but with the ball at feet. I enjoyed 'The English Game' too. From what I've read It was not too far off the mark.

I'm sure it must have a special place in your heart bonzo

OK warm up over. Saxaphone-death-metal. I'm still posting stuff I actually like too 😄

There's a better version of this with guitar, but my bias perhaps. I probably pinched this tune off the TAMB, but this version does have my free hit intro 😁 , and bass guitar is allowed surely?

OK, ignore the piano here. Just backing. Concentrate on the double bass...

I was going to post Yakkety Sax again, but Bonzo's nailed it Or will this be a 3am jazz session? ...och, Oscar Peterson is barred 😬

Don't youz worry. I'll find a moment to squeeze something in. I may not post any more squishy afternoon stuff for a while though 😾

Oh well, I'll need to find something else to do on a Saturday night stuck in the hoose 😄

Oldies. I have some noisy ones, but it's a bit early 😜

I saw that too, but too early to tell. I wonder if it's just post-bank-holiday figures catching up. Then I wondered whether Spain just had a holiday too.

Any photos in rubber and flippers?

Too warm for me already 🥵

This'll prompt another Scottish song.
