But I'm still going to games, was up in Cove on Saturday and took in a Glasgow Colleges game last week before the Clydebank cup-tie. I'll need to sit down and knock up some short summaries of the games I've been to and get the blog going again. I’ve been pretty shoddy at updating the blog aye.

I looked at the weather forecast and it does notlook good though, with rain expected for the rest of the week and apparently Claggan Park is notorious for its regularly waterlogged pitch...After having travelled to not one but two cancelled games yesterday I would like to see a bit of football again as well...

No offence intended! I think I just felt there were several announcements that night. I know you weren't on it just to have a blether. Good work on the programme, one of the better ones I'd read all last season. Enjoyed the game, I'll definitely be back to Rutherglen this season. And this time I'll be more respectful to the guy on the mic :o) Tom Hi Peter, thanks for your comment. No offence intended! I think I just felt there were several announcements that night.

Good work on the programme, one of the better ones I’d read all last season.

Enjoyed the game, I’ll definitely be back to Rutherglen this season. And this time I’ll be more respectful to the guy on the mic :o )

It is yours truly, and to say "The guy on it barely shuts up all match" is a bit unfair - I very rarely talk on it during the match. I don't even announce substitutes while the game is going on as I'm generally wandering round the ground, but I do make as many announcements as the club ask me to before the game and at half-time. The only time I've ever made an announcement during the game was when we had a distressed wee boy looking for help. You make up for it by your nice comments about the programme though, I do that as well ! ;-) Excellent report, although I have to take issue with you over your description of the tannoy man.

If I can get used to getting out my bed early on a Saturday morning I'll try to make the 10am kick-offs a regular thing. Good stuff.

Alexandria's not that far and I can do John Brown's for 10am easy. I'll definitely be along to see Lomond Vale at some point in the season. Kenfitlike we've actually got a couple of football related sketches in our repertoire that didn't make it to the pilot. I've certainly jotted down a few bits of patter I've heard at the games for future use though. Thanks for that link wayupnorth. Alexandria’s not that far and I can do John Brown’s for 10am easy.
