Around about 41 years ago to the day, I was sitting in the West Port Dunfermline having just watched United qualify for the LC Final. I mind it well, a fellow United fan was awkwardly chain smoking through a packet of fags, and he explained his pals had told him nicotine stopped the toothache. He was a non-smoker, and I often wondered what happened to him.

United thrashed Accies 6-2 that day with Paul Sturrock starring, and it all points to only one thing tomorrow, if you do the sums: a 3-0 win for United, as BMT correctly says.

I'm going for a good dominant attacking display with 3-0 Utd. Pawlet, Butcher and Harkes.

Thanks for posting that additional conformation Pat. It must be the first time this season that at least 2 people have agreed on the score and the scorers.
I'm away to see what odds the bookies will give me for this as it must be an omen!

Thank you. I'd suggest the toilet.
 

0-0. I hope I’m miles wrong with that though.
