Who Was In The BBs

Following on from another thread. Simply, who was in it.

I was in the Anchor Boys then went up to Junior section then jacked it to concentrate on fitba.

Now that i think about it, marching, church, union jacks, singing,camping with creepy mannies in Finzean. I really wish i wasnt in it.

Also in the anchor boys but jacked it before the step up. The BBs were a "respectable" orange order.

In the Life Boys, I assume that was the forerunner of the anchor boys.

I was in the junior BBs but I refused to join the senior BBs because the guy who ran it was a nutter.

I was in it from the age of about 11 until I discovered Tennent's Lager at approximately 14. Got to play football for the team, not a very pleasurable experience as one player was the nephew of Alex MacDonald of the filth. He thought he was Pele, but was just an orange pr!ck, who was always giving me a tough time. One guy on the team was a certain Greg Wylde's father, Gordon. Another guy went on to play for Morton.

Went on a couple of camps, first night would always entail a very long march, whilst the officers went through our things looking for bongo mags and cigs. Looking back it was a good laugh, I suppose, but very, very orange.

I used to really enjoy it. The football leagues were always great in my day and getting to represent your district was a real honour.
The times seemed more innocent and a lot of young fellows these days simply dismiss it as 'gay' without actually attending and taking part in half naked physical activity with fully grown men.

Getting to play fitba was the only reason for me and the Orangeness wasn't an undertone it was a full three system topcoat with fluorescent stripes. Looking back it was strange how those blazered wanna be "officers" always seemed to be coming through the changing rooms when a bunch of skinny ****agers were sans markies indestructibles.

We never got to play football or do anything outside.
