A mind this game clear as ony. Ah wis a 'golden goal' ticket seller .... which earned ma nae commission, but Ah usually got a free seat in the stand.

A certain Archibald McPherson strolled by, and Ah asked him if he wanted a golden goal ticket. He raked 10p oot o' eez pocket, and said tae ma as Ah handed him his ticket ... "There'll be no goals today son". ..

Ah was still smirkin' aboot his comment as Ah headed up Merkland Road efter the game, and was approached by a typically inebriated hun fa wished me "a sh!te xmas and a p!shy new year" .... ... Ah didna respond ... ither than tae keep smilin'.
