Just in from the windy toon

A pleasant morning in Lanark led me to believe that it would be a mild day,good job I’m not a weather forecaster!The trip down to Stair Pk was fine,a stop at Dobbies for a coffee,her indoors almost bought a Gazebo,but I can’t afford a second mortgage,that place is like shopping in Harrods💶A detour on the 77 saw us go the coastal route,shame I hadn’t packed the picnic set.Got into the fitba bar to see Spurs salvage a point against the Gunners and it was time for Stair park.To say it was windy was an understatement,that was just in the stand,I told her indoors I shouldn’t have had beans for lunch.Onto the game itself and just after 9 the blues went ahead,a lovely passing move and Kyle Turner struck sweetly to finish the job.The cigars were on out on 22 when former Rover,Jao Victoria made it 2 with a neat hit from 20 yards.The Stranraer supporters were in dream land and this team put together on a shoe string were coasting against a team who had been in Europe not so long ago.Although the fifers huffed and puffed,the blues defence stood firm and 2-0 at the break was well deserved.Got my half time pie and the world looked rosy,apart from BRexit,how could you Rodgers😎The second half saw the Rovers come out like Roy of the Rovers and Craig McGuffie pulled one back for the full timers early doors.The next incident saw Raith get a Penalty.Never a penalty in a 100 years,a shot from a yard off  Scouse Cummins hits his hand,one Raith player appeals and inexplicably David Munro the Ref gives a spot kick,we can now expect 12 penalties a game!After this shambolic decision I feared the worst,but not at all,as this young Blues gave 100 per cent to the finishing line and with a bit of luck might have got a winner.But a Desmond it finished and 5 points in 7 days,not exactly relegation form👏I actually quite enjoyed the game and it was pretty end to end at times.But full credit to Stranraer who could folded but probably looked like the full time team near the end.A good day was rounded off by a Sausage supper in CD,quite a shop that in Castle Douglas,it’s like Bingo,they shout your number out when it’s ready,eyes down for Sausage Supper😲And finally I met the bloke who invented Crosswords today,can’t remember his name,but it’s something T,something R,something S 😎⚽️
