Doo Doo De Doo Doo

At Pittodrie yesterday myself and the Wee Fella were sat in front of an elderly couple.

A lot of discussion had been going around about the lack of household names in the Gretna squad.

Midway through the second half Gretna made a substitution.

The announcer came over the P.A. "Coming on for Gretna is Colin McMenamin".

"Ah" said one of the elderly fans "At least we know that one".

"True" said his elderly pal "That's the lad the used to play for Liverpool".

I remember Taggart actor Alex Norton recounting his experience at Celtic Park when Celtic were losing 1-0 and brought on Italian Enrico Annoni. One informed Parkhead punter behind Norton piped up
"Aw naw! er Annoni on an aw noo!"

This was maybe a case of "hey man at man's no mcnmanan, at man's mcmenaman man"

Stanley it was. Parliamo Glasgow which was a satire on Parliamo Italiano, an early language TV prog.
