robroy1874 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 One I always remember was played out against my next door neighbour by his wife and kids. He was quite obsessive about his perfect lawn. Kids dug up some earth from the back borders and put several little mounds of earth on the front lawn like mole hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Scotsport in 1983. Reported that Italy, the World Champions, had backed a campaign for the 1986 tournament to be switched to Scotland and it was almost certain to happen. I was 15. Hook, line... Also recall that in 1990 it was announced that, in light of a recent 1-0 win v. Argentina, the two countries would swap groups for the upcoming World Cup finals. New venues, cities etc. and a lot of punters, who had already booked, panicked. The SFA had a lot of enquiries and the jokers (don't recall who) were slated for the distress they caused.

Jamhammer Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 My mate got a call from his dad this morning. ”I’m in town and your mum has fallen at home. Can you get round there”? He was getting his shoes on panicking when his dad phoned back and said “April Fool” 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 1 April 1989 was a belter. Hearts 2 Hibs 1. We hadn't beaten them for 18 months (6 games) since the end of the 17 without defeat and that day we embarked on 22. Robbo, gleefully, got us back on track. I remember the Hibby squealing with joy at the time with their wee, in-between, run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 My sister bought some fake dog shite one year. April 1st was a Sunday and we put it down on the living room carpet then woke my mum and dad up to tell them. My dad, probably nursing a hangover flipped his lid. "YA ******* DIRTY WEE ******* AM ******* SICK A YE YA SMELLY WEE ****". He had already thrown the poor dug out the back door before we could say it was an April fool. Me and my sister just stood there like I think we took him an extra long walk that day to jump in the burn because he felt bad about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been a permanent jump in the burn in a nice hessian jaiket by the sounds of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
