I have zero expectation levels and just quite fancy getting drunk in other parts of the country for a change
It was exactly the same duopoly with the odd cup win (us 1970, Dunfermline 1968) and two league challenges from us in 70-71 and the following season. When I heard that Killie had won the 64-65 title, I was surprised, especially since I witnessed them get a 4-0 doing from us on the last day of 1966).

Two relegated, one of whom was usually one of the clubs newly promoted, with one or two others on the fringes of the drop (us in 68-69). It was vucking scheidt, believe me.

The first time we qualified for Europe was only due to the Tims having won the European Cup even though we finished 4th (and Clyde were gerry-mandered out of a Fairs Cup place).

There?s too much of a gap between the coalition of cuountery and the rest of us, but it was always thus in my 61 years of supporting a club that at least did have a short period of joy 40 years ago. Fornicating about with numbers will have little effect. As Bamber said in the Young Ones? University Challenge episode, ?Oh, the rich kids ALWAYS win?.
