Remember it well myself - I think it was a David Francey BBC commentary special. The boy was literally from just up the road and probably the equivalent of us wheeling out Boab Valentine at Tannadice. IIRC he was booking anything in a Tangerine jersey for the square root of phuck all, culminating in him booking Hamish and awarding an indirect free kick in oor box for the offence of holding on to the ball for 3 secs when they were chasing an equaliser.
