Davie McArthur Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It reminded me of the Frank Zappa quote about music journalism being written by the illiterate for those who can’t read. MARTY OUT!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your middle-aged history teacher mates will never become the next Ultravox by shouting about Tatties and Damp Hooses over a porno music background, does that mean you should throw in the towel? No, because it is your chosen art form, and your means of expression, even although it will never be quantified in millions of 'units' either. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so far up my own arse I could clean the inside of my hat. Love the bit about history teachers and wish it was true; only one of us is a teacher and she's an English teacher. MARTY OUT!!!!!

JonaTon Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I've got A Season In Hell too actually. Prefer that to Hunting Grounds (sorry Jona!), probably because when I read it I hadn't been to every ground. Twitter - JMitchell82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I found the latest book from this genre today which featured our 1-2 defeat by Dunfermline at Cappielow in February. The front cover might be of more interest to some that aren't quite as youthful looking anymore than the book itself however.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic shop with some great photos - the one taken at the bus stop was on display with a price tag of ,wait for it............... £2500.......fookin hell. There was another, slightly larger, of an exit gate at Doncaster ( I think) which was going for £6000 !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long gone daft McInnes centre-parting quiff sported there, remember the game like it was yesterday though! Savo and Ray Von for two. Careful...I'll need to find that archive photo of you at the protest rally, now that is a cracker haha! I had a bit more hair back then. You're no joking there mate! The book's good reading by the way, some nice wee tales in it and the Morton chapter sort of reminds you why we should always, regardless of current circumstances, be proud of our wee club and its rich history.

First visit was in 2003 and was surprised that there were a few Morton pics around the place. Got talking to the boy behind the counter who informed me that "the boss" had a soft spot for Morton.
