Aye yon Bennie wis a right Granger, esp when refereein - he yased ti blaw fur affside eviry time St.Mary's scored against his skill. Typical Granger referee right enuff he he.
Rab Calder at Kinneil, lived up forthview way a think, no sure if he's still alive & kickin but he was a brilliant guy. Used to quiz me about geography when a was younger, askin me the capitals of aw the countries (which ma faither(Oody)hud drummed inti me time & time again lol)
Ach we aw ken its Eric Ross MBE in the photi an he husti bee the best jani iz heez the only yin ti git a medal fi the Queen! Mr Nicholson fi Deanburn wiz a gid guy an awe!
Ma ain abidin memory i Davie Raeburn (q.v.), apart fi his magic sawdust, wis his jealous guairdin i the mitre fitbaws he kept in his room. Woe betide the boay wha loast it ower the hoarse's field (usually Boarstal Cummings, by proxy).
It strikes me thit the oanly Skill no representit in this interesting threed is the Public. Wis thir nae Jannies there worth talkn aboot then? Did yees clean up yir ain spew? They Public Skillboays are eiweys the same, this kinny stuff is beneath thum. Sad.
Ah meant the Deanburn. Wis thir nae Jannies there worth talkn aboot then? Did yees clean up yir ain spew? They Scoattish Special Schemies are eiweys the same, this kinny stuff is beneath thum. Sad.
Name and Amp yir a baw bag cause yi huvny red ma post sayin how gid Mr Nicholson fi Deanburn wiz ya nugget! Being a Scottish Special Schemie yi kin tell yive hit a wee nerve eh!
This site wis set up by a group i bored thirtysumhings who grew up thegithir in Bo'ness, a quaint former whaling port and mining town oan the banks i the Michty River Forth windin thru the Glens i Scotland. The site is carefully worded in the Bo'ness dialect - please let us ken (know) if u canny understaun it afore breengin in. Be shair ti look it the comments under each poast - they are usually funnier than the stuff we pit up, and feel free ti poast yir ain!! We especially want ti hear fi aw they local petrochemical 'workers' who dae nuhin bit read this site n watch porn oan the nicht shift, in between turning a couple i valves n takin a fly heid doon.

Davie Raeburn it St. Mary's in the 70s - he could fix a broken leg wi his magic pail i sawdust.
Cheers fae doon uner
Whit tartan is that?
mr ritchie fi the boness public in the 70s an early 80s used ti lit us sit in the boiler hoose in the winter mornins , feckin rare min !
We didny need t'cheat t'beat the St Mary's. We just needed to turn up.

Grangers - fur aw yir biggin the boay up in the foaty yees huvny telt the viewers his name.
I agree wi Davie Raeburn it St. Mary's.
Mind you, nae lightbulbs or broken doon boilers ever got fixed cos he was too busy making sawdust in the techy dep't.
Fact: the school dinner ladies never ever used flour for baking. Why should they when the kitchen was next to the techy dep't?
Yon choccy sponge and choccy custard were the bizness tho!!!
Ach we aw ken its Eric Ross MBE in the photi an he husti bee the best jani iz heez the only yin ti git a medal fi the Queen!
Mr Nicholson fi Deanburn wiz a gid guy an awe!
Mr Heron it Kinneil, wha inspired the great chant of, Am tellin yoor smellin, at the back of Mr Heron.
Oor viewer fi Doon Under husny hud the question answered yit - Whit tartan is it?
Any Grangers wi inside knowledge?
Ma ain abidin memory i Davie Raeburn (q.v.), apart fi his magic sawdust, wis his jealous guairdin i the mitre fitbaws he kept in his room.
Woe betide the boay wha loast it ower the hoarse's field (usually Boarstal Cummings, by proxy).
Might be the spirit i bannockburn?
Cheers fae doon uner
