LOOK WHO'S COMING TO VICTORIA

This years sportsman's dinner is booked for Friday the 17th of October.

Guest speakers are

Murdo MacLeod And Donald Finlay

 

Murdo Davidson MacLeod  Murdo MacLeod

(born August 24, 1958 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He made 22 appearances with the Scottish national team and played in the 1990 World Cup finals.

MacLeod made his name with Dumbarton in the late 1970s before moving to Celtic in 1979. During his nine years there he helped win five league titles, two Scottish Cups and one League Cup. He then moved to German club Borussia Dortmund, whom he played for 4 years and 103 games. He returned to Scotland with Hibernian, where he captained the club to a League Cup win in 1991.

After a successful playing career, he returned to Dumbarton as player-coach. He guided the club to promotion from Division 2 with a last day win over Stirling Albion in 1995. In the summer of 1995, MacLeod left the Sons to manage Premier League club Partick Thistle.

MacLeod's tenure at Firhill was unsuccessful, as the club were relegated at the end of the 1995-96 season. He re-joined Celtic as assistant coach under Wim Jansen, where he helped the club win a league and league cup double in their only season in charge.

Nowadays he writes for the Daily Record as well as commentating on football for BBC Scotland.

 

Donald Finlay QC  [ image: Mr Findlay said he considered suicide]

Well what colour did you think I would use, probably Scotlands most well kent QC's. Former Vice Chairman of Rangers F.C. and one of the best Karaoke singers in the land. Tickets are at a premium and this old firm duo should be a star attraction. I cannot find a lot about Donald on the web.

 

 

Thats the thing about the Vicky you always get a warm greeting from the bar staff, yes two pints of lager please.

 

Winners of the Charlie Taylor trophy were Stuart Colquhoun, Jack Kean, Dol Phin, AKA Arthur Buchan and Paul Cullen. Jack Kean is being presented with the trophy from Bert Taylor

14 call offs for the Burgh Cup match on Wednesday so that left us with no option but to cancel the reserve game. 8 1/2 down overall, No first team game this coming week so this will allow players an opportunity to get some ties played, Also the committee have decided to get a meeting in as well.

 

Well Saturday was quiet eventful, Gleniffer Thistle held there annual presentation of prizes at the club on Saturday morning. In the afternoon we had the two bowl singles this was won by yours truly, and the runner up was Larry McGowan. We had two wrong bias's from Gary Smyth, where is the photos I here you ask. Guess who left the camera with all the photos in the taxi on the way home. Yes what a plonker, we will need to get Gary to pose again with dopey.

 

The lounge refurbishment is well under way and our two electricians are getting wired right in, Bobby Finnie and Eddie Milloy have done outstanding work recently and have fitted new spotlights to the new roof tiles. Last week saw the telly pack in think we got our monies worth, thanks to Gerald McArdle who donated it about five or more years ago.

 

A couple of years ago it was decided by the P&D that all cup competitions would be reduced from 10 rinks to 8, so why are we playing the reserve games on the same nights as the cup games ?????????????? Strange to say the least

 

This picture was taken by Stephen Kerr, Stephen was meant to be playing on our rink but disappeared to take the photo, what a game he had while he was away.

 

Q: What do you do with someone who can't draw, can't roll the jack, can't set a mat, can't keep the score and won't listen?

A: Make them a 'Vicky skip'
