| OH HAMPDEN IN THE SUN |
| Welcome to another episode of "Oh Hampden in the Sun". It's the undisputed source of pure drivel and baseless truths. On a serious note, however, I heard that Ally McCoist lost his wife to a sex-beast gardener. Despite cursing his name for many a year, I have grown fond of Coisty. Maybe his wife left on a Bosman. I took my father to the QP-Gretna cup-tie. This was his first experience at Hampden for quite some time. He remembers the days when someone would piss down the side of your leg. Come to think of it, that still happens. In a metaphorical sense, of course. He enjoyed the game and its funeral-like atmosphere. He liked it so much that he vowed never to return. Well that's Celtic fans for you. The game was amusing in that when Gretna scored their equaliser, three fans jumped to celebrate, two of whom were wearing Rangers shirts. Maybe some of the fans were on loan from the Ibrox club to boost their fantastically bad support. All together now.....Follow, Follow......... |

| I enjoyed my trip to Montrose the other day. The game was suitably shit, but the banter was good and there was a good QP following. The referee for that contest, Eric Martindale, obviously lost his way and couldn't find his way back to the home (see, also, Gretna supporter's club). He stopped the game on ridiculous intervals for petty fouls. The pitch was so bad it would give the Somme battlefield a run for its money. |
| David Robertson also pulled on the blue on Saturday. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't for Rangers. So after 9 or so years of cheating managers and board-rooms alike, he has found his real calling in life. Playing left-back for a coastal Third Division side. Who said Karma doesn't exist? Hopefully QP can beat East Fife in the league and get back on the promotion trail. And on a closing note, in this especially short edition, did anyone see that guy DeVries for Hearts on Sunday? Supposedly Craig Levein bribed the poor guy and said "If you win us the game on Sunday, you will have a choice of any woman in Edinburgh". DeVries got a big shock when he realised that there were no women in Edinburgh. When he was offered Steven Pressley, he politely declined. |

| In the match programme it said: "Today's money stealing bastard will be David Robertson. There will be a collection basket passed round at half-time. Please give generously. No spitting." |
