The Football Years - STV

[Noodley]

Just finished watching the last in the series on STV.

Even Mrs Noodley, who cannot stand fitba, enjoyed it.

The below link explains a bit about the series and there is a link to at least some clips from the programmes:

A second series has been commissioned.

I know not everyone likes fitba but feel free to tell me how much you dislike it if you want

just watched it myself. Was really good. I met Souness about 3 months ago when he had been up in Glasgow to film that. He was in a buliding seeing some financial advisors he was telling me about it.

And me being a Celtic fan it PAAAAAAAAAINs me to say he was a decent enough bloke and enjoyed our wee chat in the reception of these offices.

There were some great clips and some good clips of old players recalling events throughout the series. Hard to think Scotland used to be not too bad at fitba

it was good to see some different faces like John Wark and the likes instead of all the usual suspects being dragged out for things like this.

Think Roughie is too fond of a good meal and a bevy. He's in Satris on Bath Street all the time.

that reminds me. You never told my the name of that restaurant your mate used to have

 

[Noodley]

It wasnae in Glasgow - there are restaurants outside Glasgow you know

Great to see the MIGHTY ABERDEEN in their heyday as well.

I was only a young boy when they were at their peak but I still remember going to Pittodrie as a 5/6 year old and seeing Gordon Strachan, Willie Miller, Alex McLeish doing what they do best.

I remember going to Pitoddrie in the early 80's to see the Dons in Europe with my pal and his dad....great games, and I can remember the smells (there was a big game 'smell') and atmosphere to this day!

That may have been the pies.

Believe me, nothiing has changed about them.

 

[Noodley]

Possibly, but a 'big game' had a certain smell to it...beyond food, beyond bevvy, beyond fags, but all were a constituent part of the 'big game smell'...even Forfar games could have a big game 'smell' in the late 70s/early 80s.
