Yoda Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Well done to Penicuik High School for winning the Scottish Schools, senior football shield (u18) last night. They beat Notre Dame High School (Greenock) on penalties, at Airdirie's ground. Good support from the school and the town. Sam Nicholson (former pupil) was in the crowd. Wonder if any of the Penicuik players are on Hearts radar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy McNulty Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Same! It was terrible, verging on non existant after Mr Frame left in the mid 90s! I actually spoke with Mr Frame only a year ago. Sent him an email to find out how he was doing. Very intelligent man and a great coach. He was in the PHS playing fields coaching every night of the week U13 upwards. Dedicated.

Yoda Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Mr Frame was also my football coach at the school (78-82). Good guy and total Hearts man. He was also my history teacher and always happy to talk about the Hearts. Looking at the programme from the schools game, the competition has been going since 1904 and Penicuik High had never won it. Things were getting a bit Hibsesque! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_razors_edge Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 My old man lives in Penicuik and is ex peni high so he went along to watch. Said a draw was a fair result and it was a shame someone had to lose. What a great way to end your school days though!

More like a holding pen for Penicuik's mouth-breathers Aye, he was decent enough, and it was great of him to step up and take the team when no one else would. But he knew nothing about football. Being a hobo could explain that perhaps. Edit: Wait...Mr. Douglas was an R.E. teacher was he no? I could be wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I went to Mauricewood Primary until P6 and used to go swimming with the BB's at Peni High. I remember Beeslack being built as it was a fantastic playground for us Mauricewood kids to try and kill ourselves in. I remember being very disappointed that i wouldn't get to go to Penicuik High if we stayed as i had been looking forward to the fact that it was across the road from the public park so i imagined loads of games of footie on the pitches there at breaks and lunchtimes.

JamboInSouthsea Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just remembered the first history lesson Mr McLeish gave us... Once everybody was sat down he said 'Right everybody sitting on the back row come up to the front, you're all getting the belt'!!! After the initial shock he said he was joking but that is what used to happen when he went to school, the theory being that those who sat up the back were all troublemakers. Cue plenty of nervous laughter from those at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only lesson , I actually looked forward going to ! He once brought back a heap Wimbledon signed programmes for the class Fluent in French, and pretty good in at least 2 other languages (IIRC). Mr Frame got a hard time at school from some of the kids. But when I look back, I realize that he was smarter than pretty much every other teacher there, and there were some lessons I learned that I didn't appreciate until much later. He loved and knew his football (like I said previously, every night he trained with one of the PHS age groups in the park). Oh, and he sang in the Kevock (sp?) choir. Had a fine voice. For a while, the football teams were co-coached by a Maths teacher, Mr McKinnon, who played for Spartans at the time. Another good bloke, but someone who we only had the benefit of having for a year or so before he took another job elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
