Re: The Scottish Premiership
Excuse my ignorance Peter, but is the famous quip the one about people thinking football is a matter of life and death etc. - he quipped so many, he had a really sharp wit. That’s the one Meg. I’m paraphrasing here, but it was something like, “People say football is a matter of life and death, but ...

Re: The Scottish Premiership
First off, as a life-long supporter and ST holder, I’m obviously delighted Celtic have secured their 9th league title in a row, for the 2nd time in their history. However, I can’t help feeling a touch disappointed the way it happened. Sitting at home, under restrictions, when the expected news final...

Re: The Scottish Premiership
I’ll stay confident no problem, that the remaining SPFL fixtures for 2019-20, will take place, and no Celtic fans I personally know, are worried at all, well, not the ones I’ve spoken to at least. The matches certainly won’t, IMHO, be deemed null & void. If they are, I’ll be on immediately to sa...

Re: The Scottish Premiership
During this global virus, I see ‘Null & Void’ appears to be the ‘in’ phrase, desperately latched onto by followers of two clubs in the country, re this SPFL football season. One of them staring relegation in the face, and the other, lying the length of Hayocks Road, a distant 2nd from the leader...

Re: The Scottish Premiership
Great win for the Gers @ parkhead the other day. Going to be close in the run in , but Steven Gerrard has got this team going in the right places & fingers crossed, title 55 will be delivered. In dreamland - Rangers have a great chance this year to win the SPL ynwa https://media.giphy.com/media...

Morag, in California, USA, has passed away.
Her younger sister, and my sister, are best friends, which is where the information came from.
RIP Morag.

Re: Hayocks Primary sports results, undated
Knowing a good few of the pupils in P7, and their ages, I’d say the year would most likely be 1969.

Re: Campbells, Ardrossan
I think I might have nailed this. After much online searching I ended up in the British Newspaper Archive. I found not only that the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald archive is referencing the Castlehill Vaults as far back as the late 1800's, and indeed carrying adverts for the pub, but the publicati...

Re: Cafe in New St Stevenston 1960s/1970s
Wonder if that was the same Ferguson family who had the Ailsa tearooms near the Ardeer Hall. That was Bobby Ferguson's family. Bobby was goalkeeper for Kilmarnock, West ham and Scotland and was from Ardrossan, but I believe his mum was from Stevenston - Bobby Ferguson is in Adelaide now. Yes, it wa...

Re: Saltcoats Worthies (3)
Was at school with a Jim, James Slaven, big sister Josephine who was a force to be reckoned with...think they'd just come over from Ireland. Different Jim Slavens Morag. The family you mention were not from Ireland, only the mother, Una, was. The father was George, and he was possibly from Dalry, i...

Re: Intimations 4 January 2017
Condolences to the McMail family on my old schoolmate, Satch's death. The family have now lost Satch, his wife and his brother Dan since November. Thoughts and prayers are with them at this sad time. JD. Also their youngest sister Helen, back in May. Step sister to be accurate. The three youngest i...
