  1. It would be a fascinating dilemma for "The Media" if Tadic's stats at the end of the season indicated an obvious "Player of the Season" award. WTF would they do...actually award it to a player from a team outside of "The Glory Clubs"?

     

    Purely hypothetical of course but somehow I think they would wriggle out of it somehow.:lol:

  2. 9-3 v Wolves. Jimmy Melia played inside left in the middle of the field. For some reason he wore the No 9 shirt which in those days was the centre forward who was marked by the No 5. He followed Jimmy everywhere. That left a bloody great hole in the Wolves defence. It must have been late sixties.

     

    September 18th 1965.

  3. Pity he never played that well in the 6 months he was here.

     

    Maclaren's main fault was the he wouldn't come off his line...good shot stopper but that was just about the only strength in his game.

  4. In respect of Dave Maclaren's performance in the 9-3 drubbing I quote the Sports Echo... "The Saints would have scored perhaps another five or six goals had it not been for some magnificent saves by Wolves' goalkeeper Dave Maclaren" Signing him less than a year later doesn't seem so strange...obviously Ted Bates had been impressed.

  5. The interesting fact with the 9-3 result against Wolves was that the scoring for that game ended in the 60th minute when Terry Paine scored number 9.:lol:

     

    I was up in one of the Chocolate Boxes and we were, not unreasonably, convinced we were going to run up a double figures scoreline.

     

    I still have all the Pinks from that promotion season...here's that week's...

  6. Crowd trouble in the Serbia/Albania game. Been watching Tadic but just before half time the Serbian crowd started lobbing flares when the Albanians had a corner.

     

    Then an Albanian flag appeared being flown from a quad drone around head high...a Serbian player pulled it down and the Albanian players piled into him.

     

    Quite entertaining really.

     

    Sky Sports 5 on the red button.

  7. The superb alt-country rocker Lucinda Williams has just released a double-CD album called Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone. Here's a taste of what's on offer.

     

    Loving it at the moment...along with the new "My Brightest Diamond" album...another amazing woman's voice in quite a different way from Lucinda's.:)
