tannerall 25,935 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That's a shame brings back many memories of setting the Sunday timetable to football in ther morning and early afternoon then in to watch Scotsport on the Sunday afternoon after Glen Michael had polished off his Palladin. Scotsport was always the less formal, homely version of Sportscene and had the dream team of Montford and Crampsey. (Forget Archer, he was an arsehole).Remember seeing him often at Ibrox or up at the STV studios in his tweed jacket. Took a fair bit of stick and banter from footie fans but always appeared to have a gentlemanly manner. I believe he was a bluenose, but if so never made a big deal of it.

tannerall 25,935 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I love that Thistle Cellic game, was one of the highlights of my young football life. I was called in as an 11 year old with the mates by my mates parents to listen to the 2nd half on the radio, it was such an outrageous half time score. As we got near we were told Thistle 4-0. The radio was replaying the first half commentary highlights just before second half kick off, unknown to us,we thought the game had restarted and as we got in to the living room we thought Thistle had scored 5 then 6.I'm sure Arthur enjoyed the result too.
