Doctor FinnBarr Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 55 minutes ago, Morgan said: Quite sure BJ. The time I’m referring to was a match in which there was so little interest within our club for going to Shielfield that they ran a mini-bus and parked over the other side of the river. I’m positive about this as it was the first ‘away’ game I took my wife to. It was Colinton Mains Hearts, she’ll never forget it! Fair enough bud, in the early days of Blackburn/Whitburn when we just took a 12 0r 16 seater we could pretty much park where ever the hell we wanted to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure this is the boy that I was sat next to versus Killie at Murrayfield - Upper Section, East Stand, sort of nearer to the goal line than anything else. Absolutely mental for the first half, then he just disappeared! Lots of random clapping, or double claps, and gesturing towards the away fans. In particular, lots of scarf adjusting and sort of presenting the scarf to the away fans! It was infuriating and amusing in equal amounts. Not sure about the maroon trousers, but he pretty much nails the description. Anyone able to confirm if it's the same guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
